It may not have been pretty, but as the saying goes, a win is a win.
Despite tallying a mind-boggling 174 penalty yards, turning the ball over three times and surrendering a safety, Kinston (2-0) managed to soundly defeat Nash Central, 26-9, in the Vikings' home opener.
"We didn't play Kinston football in the first half," first-year Kinston coach Ryan Gieselman said, "but we got out there and pitched a shutout in the second half."
The Vikings' defense was stout all night. The unit entered the fourth quarter giving up less than 100 yards to the Bulldogs offense, while holding Nash Central to 170 yards for the game.
The Vikings forced a three-and-out on the Bulldogs' first series then marched 54 yards in just four plays. They took a 7-0 lead when quarterback Raquise Bellamy found senior Tiquan Canady streaking down the sideline for a 36-yard score.
Following a Nash Central turnover on downs and a Bellamy interception to give the ball back to Nash Central with a short field, the Bulldogs put together a 25-yard drive capped by a 7-yard run by Charles Harvey to knot the score at 7-7 with 1:01 left in the first.
The Vikings took over at their own 7 on the ensuing kickoff, and Bellamy fumbled in his own end zone for a safety on Kinston's first snap of the series to give Nash Central a 9-7 lead with 44 seconds remaining in the first. It would be the last time Nash Central would score.
Kinston, meanwhile, scored three unanswered touchdowns on long pass plays. The Vikings took the lead for good with 7:27 to play in the half when Bellamy found Canady on a 65-yard strike. The junior quarterback dumped the ball off to Canady near the line of scrimmage, just beating a blitz, and the senior co-captain handled the rest.
The scoring culminated with a pair of touchdown passes to sophomore wide receiver Anthony Berry, who scored on plays of 44 and 71 yards in the third quarter – the latter of gave Kinston a 26-9 lead.
"Everybody knows Canady is our go-to guy," Gieselman said. "He had two guys on him early, and Ant Berry stepped up and made some big plays for us. He really rose to the occasion tonight."
Berry finished with two catches for 115 yards. Canady wasn't too shabby himself, hauling in four catches for 122 yards, including the Vikings' first two touchdowns. A week after tallying more than 200 yards on the ground in a 41-13 win at Jones Senior, the Vikings relied heavily on the passing game to beat Nash Central.
Bellamy finished the game 11-of-20 and his 272 passing yards accounted for all but 31 yards of the Vikings' offense. Senior running back Raheem Freeland was the only Kinston player with double digits on the ground, finishing with 24 yards on eight carries. His total would have been considerably more impressive had an 80-yard scamper to the end zone on an option pitch not been called back in the first half on an illegal block. It was one of 15 flags thrown Kinston's way Friday night.
"The penalties are very frustrating," Gieselman said. "We have got to be a lot more mentally tough."
The aerial assault on offense wasn't necessarily part of the Vikings' game plan, Gieselman said.
"That's just how it played out," he said. "It just flipped sides after last week."
The Vikings travel to Wilson Fike next week.

The Bulls can already claim a moral victory over the Crusaders after the defending champions left captain Richie McCaw out of the match 22 altogether.
McCaw does not have fond memories of Loftus Versfeld, or perhaps much memory of it at all after he was smacked unconcious in the opening minutes of the corresponding fixture last year by prop Richard Bands. The Bulls went on to record an emphatic 35-20 win.
Coach Robbie Deans goes into the must-win – for both teams – match with something of a second-string pack, which could prove suicidal against the vaunted Bulls forwards.
The Crusaders camp confirmed McCaw had no serious health issues other than Deans describing him as still being "flat". But the Bulls will be forgiven for thinking that McCaw – one of the outstanding looseforwards in the world – is just scared of what awaits him in the rarefied atmosphere at Loftus.
Australian players voted Loftus the worst place to visit, and it would be surprising if the New Zealanders actually found a trip to Pretoria appealing. McCaw certainly seems content to sit on the sidelines and avoid any nasty clashes with the big Bulls pack.
One wonders just how he is going to cope when he returns for the All Blacks in the Tri-Nations with the match also set to take place at Fortress Loftus. The second Tri-Nations Test between the two is also at altitude, with the Boks and All Blacks clashing at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium a week later.
Deans, however, believed McCaw would be ready to front the Brumbies in Christchurch next weekend where there was a need to have fresh players.
It's a huge gamble with the Crusaders' playoffs chances on the line over the final two weeks of round-robin action.
Crusaders team: 15 Leon MacDonald, 14 Rico Gear, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 Aaron Mauger, 11 Caleb Ralph, 10 Daniel Carter, 9 Andrew Ellis; 8 Mose Tuiali'i, 7 Tanerau Latimer, 6 Johnny Leo'o, 5 Reuben Thorne (c), 4 Chris Jack, 3 Greg Somerville, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Wyatt Crockett. Replacements: 16 Tone Kopelani, 17 Campbell Johnstone, 18 Craig Clarke, 19 Brad Mika, 20 Kevin Senio, 21 Cameron McIntyre, 22 Stephen Brett/Scott Hamilton.

Ariza3 wrote:Nash anywhere is effective. I dont understand why people think it wouldnt work...have you seen the guy play? He's a phenomenal passer and has eyes everywhere, its amazing to watch the passing regardless of assist numbers (which would be guaranteed 10+ APG). Kobe would find open looks along with MWP for 3's and if we get a new PF for cuts/layups/dunks aswell as the same for Drew.
I think if you convince him the right way he would come. Players 3PT% would go up instantly. Slashers would find the ball going from their hands into the rim seamlessly. Bigs would find easy layups/dunks. Just because of how good Nash is.
BUT although i believe Bynum will average career highs in points, rebounds, and blocks next year, i do think if we got Howard then Nash would be more willing to come to the Lakers. Just b/c Howard fits better with Nash.
As Raptors, Knicks & Mavs-fight 4 Steve Nash, the Lakers have also quietly entered the picture & are making a hard push, per league source.
David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
Nash in huge demand around the league, with multiple teams trying to get in hourly, per source.
HANG TIME CAPITAL BUREAU — While the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks have made strong pushes for free agent guard Steve Nash, the Los Angeles Lakers have, quietly, entered the fray for the 38-year-old guard and are making a strong bid to acquire him, according to a league source.
The Lakers, with a payroll already projected in excess of $83 million next season, would only be able to offer Nash an exception starting at $3.09 million for next season. It's unlikely Nash would take that, so a sign-and-trade deal would be a more realistic possibility.
The Lakers do have a viable starting point guard they could send Phoenix in such a deal, Ramon Sessions, who became an unrestricted free agent after surprisingly opting out of the last year of his contract. Forwards Jordan Hill and Matt Barnes are also free agents.
The Lakers have also been looking to rid themselves of forward Metta World Peace, who has two years and $15 million remaining on his deal. But the Suns aren't believed to be interested in World Peace.
Nash is mulling offers from the Raptors, who reportedly have a three-year, $36 million deal on the table, and the Knicks, who only have the $3 million exception to offer as well.
A source said Tuesday that Nash is allowing the Knicks time to try and create a sign-and-trade deal that would be palatable for Phoenix — and also get Nash a higher annual salary. But the Raptors put a crimp in New York's plans Tuesday when they reached a verbal agreement with restricted free agent guard Landry Fields on an offer sheet worth $20 million for three years.
Fields was one of the players the Knicks had hoped to include in a potential sign and trade with the Suns. But the league's rules prohibit a team from trading a player who has signed an offer sheet as part of a sign-and-trade deal.
The Mavericks are also looking at Nash, who left Dallas as a free agent in 2004 for Phoenix, after Nets free agent guard Deron Williams opted to remain in Brooklyn on Tuesday. But the Mavericks, according to a league source, have other possibilities if they can't get Nash, including Clippers free agent Randy Foye, and Aaron Brooks, who played last season in China.
Because Brooks, who had played most recently in Phoenix in the NBA, wasn't on the Suns' roster at the end of last season, he can't be used by the Suns as part of any sign-and-trade deal.

Nash's three point shooting would legitimately provide the Lakers the outside threat they so desperately need. Nash is one of the premier shooters in the league ... absolutely flawless form!

I'm not so sure he'd be a great fit.... he's used to having the ball in his hands almost all the time..... Kobe is as well.... Nash's best asset is how he runs the pick and roll.... that relegates Kobe to a spot up shooter.... Not sure Nash has ever played with dominate players in the post and wing....
The other end of the floor would take a step backwards that much is given..... and after watching Sessions that's hard to say....
For nearly 12 million a year I'd rather get younger and more athletic.... not older and less so....

I actually believe that if Nash was here we will finally get to see Kobe do what we've wanted him to do for the past couple season. Play more off-ball and work of screens for more catch and shoot opportunities instead of having to always do his moves off the dribble.

The leather-like texture and luster of curve-hugging scuba, now with a seductive something extra: Sheer mesh insets at the calves. It's a legging look that's as sleek and sexy as they come.
- Slip-on styling
- Smooth coated knit
- Sheer mesh insets out outside of lower leg
- 29" inseam
- Polyester/Spandex

fits nice! Good fit for petite ladies, great for going out or dinner. March 1, 2014
Nice touch! These leggings are super cute... love the mesh inset on the calves! My only complaint is that they seemed like they were sewn crooked. I took them back and the second pair were the same way. There is a seam that runs down the front of the leg slightly off to one side and the seam seems to veer off to the other side on one leg. But I am guessing this is something that may be more noticable to the person wearing the pants than to anyone else. I also don't like that they don't come in shorter lengths. I am 5'2" and they are a little bunchy at my ankle. Short people want to wear cute leggings too! February 21, 2014
Amazing Pants These pants are SO sexy! My husband loves these on me! They fit perfectly for those if you with long legs like myself and always buy longs. Great pants! February 20, 2014
LOVE I love these leggings. They fit me perfectly and the mesh at the bottom is just an added cute touch. February 6, 2014
Best Purchase Ever!!! I absolutely love these leggins, true to si!ze and love the sexy feeling everytime I wear them !! I have had tons of compliments January 11, 2014

Tail Epidermis Wholemount Data for Arl4d (MBTW)
Skin screen collaboration (Mice were fed on Mouse Breeder Diet (5021, Labdiet) from weaning): Tails were collected in duplicate from mutant and wild type mice of the same genetic background (≥ 14 weeks). Epidermal whole mounts were prepared by separating the epidermis from the underlying dermis as an intact sheet following EDTA digestion. The epidermis was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised, then stained using a rapid labelling protocol with antibodies to keratin 14 and 15 (K14, K15) that were directly conjugated with fluorophores (Alexa 555 (red) for K14 and 488 (green) for K15). Whole mounts were counter-stained with DAPI to reveal cell nuclei (blue). Preparations' were imaged using a Leica SP5 Confocal microscope and Maximum Intensity Projections produced from ~150um Z-series at 4um spacing. DAPI, Alexa 488 and Alexa555 channels were merged. Images are x10 magnification unless otherwise indicated.
Evaluation of Phenotype
A tick-list was used to record the presence (red cross) or absence (green tick) of a phenotype in the epidermis.
K14 is expressed in basal layer epidermal cells in the interfollicular epidermis (IFE), sebaceous gland (SG) and hair follicles (HF). DAPI staining provides an indication of cell density and K15 is most highly expressed in the HF bulge, which is a stem cell reservoir.
In tail epidermis melanocytes reside in the HF and also in the IFE immediately adjacent to the HF (parakeratotic scale). In some mutant mice pigmentation in the IFE is altered and this is recorded in bright-field images.
In the tick-list, abnormal K14 expression would indicate loss of expression. Abnormal K15 expression indicates either abnormal bulge morphology or altered K15 expression (for example, reduced in the bulge or up-regulated outside the bulge). In tail epidermis the HF are normally arranged in groups of three (triplets) and in staggered rows; abnormalities in HF patterning include changes in number of HF per group and distance between rows. The hair growth cycle in tail epidermis is less highly synchronised than in the back and the mice analysed are not closely age-matched. Therefore, detailed evaluation of the hair cycle has not been performed; nevertheless, obvious disturbance, such as all HF being in catagen, is recorded. The SG are K14-positive sack-like structures that lie above the bulge; changes in SG size, number or morphology are recorded as abnormal. Changes in the IFE include hyperproliferation (detected as increased basal layer density and enveloping of the junction with the HF), hypocellularity and altered pigmentation.

Johnson blasted Obama saying he "backed America into a corner" and failed to lead on the situation in Syria in September 2013. Johnson said, "I am hoping that through these hearings, through this discussion with the American people, the president can make a strong case and that we can get America behind him and behind the actions that, quite honestly, nobody wants to take." He added, "He dithered, he didn't act decisively right off the bat, so based on, with all the leaks, with all the discussion going on, yeah I didn't see any reason for real quick action. He'll be in a far stronger position if he makes the case and convinces the American public and Congress."[5]
After voting no on the Senate resolution, Johnson said, ""I'm highly concerned that the administration's action will be ineffective. And I think ineffective action would be actually worse than no action whatsoever. I really did not get any kind of comfort level that this administration has adequately planned for the reprecussions" of a strike against Syria. They may be able to provide me with that comfort over the next couple of days before we take the final vote. But right now I simply did not have the information or the answers to the questions I needed to even allow me to consider voting yes on this resolution."[6]

On September 4, 2013, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved an authorization for President Obama to use limited force against Syria.[7][8]
The vote came after a three-hour briefing with top Obama administration officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.[9]
Of the nine Democratic members and eight Republican members that make up the committee, seven Democrats and three Republicans voted in favor, while five Republicans and two Democrats opposed the authorization.[9] A single "present" vote was cast by Ed Markey (D). Johnson was one of the five Republicans who opposed the authorization.[10]
John Brennan CIA nomination
Johnson voted against the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[11]
Drones filibuster
On March 6, 2013, Senator Rand Paul (R) led a 13-hour filibuster of President Obama's CIA Director nominee, John Brennan. Paul started the filibuster in order to highlight his concerns about the administration's drone policies. In particular, Paul said he was concerned about whether a drone could be used to kill an American citizen within the United States border without any due process involved. Paul and other civil liberties activists were critical of President Obama for not offering a clear response to the question. A total of 14 senators joined Paul in the filibuster -- 13 Republicans and one Democrat.[12][13][14]
Johnson was one of the 13 Republican senators who joined Paul in his filibuster.[15][16]
According to the website Breitbart, 30 Republican senators did not support the filibuster.[17][18]
The day after the filibuster, Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter to Paul, responding to the filibuster. Holder wrote, "Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on U.S. soil? The answer to that is no."[19]
Farm bill
On February 4, 2014, the Democratic controlled Senate approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[20] It passed the Senate with a vote of 68-32. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that will kick in when prices drop; however, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[21] Johnson voted with 22 other Republican senators against the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 16, 2014, the Democratic-controlled Senate approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[22][23] The Senate voted 72-26 for the 1,582 page bill, with 17 Republicans and 55 Democrats voting in favor of the bill.[23] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[24] It increased the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel by 1 percent, increased Head Start funding for early childhood education by $1 billion, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and left the Affordable Care Act without any drastic cuts.
Johnson voted with 25 other Republican members against the bill.[22][23]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
Johnson voted against H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspend the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[25]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[26] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Johnson voted with the Republican Party against the bill.[27]
Johnson acknowledged the challenges Republicans would face after the ACA went into effect. The law is that much harder to repeal, now that the people have enrolled in the ACA health plans. He said, "It's no longer just a piece of paper that you can repeal and it goes away. There's something there. We have to recognize that reality. We have to deal with the people that are currently covered under Obamacare." Johnson favors removing the mandates, but keeping the online exchanges.[28]
Johnson is suing the Office of Personnel Management over the subsidies provided by the government for Congressional members and staffers. The subsidies are to help offset the cost of their health insurance plans. Johnson is suing on the grounds these subsidies are not available to all people seeking insurance under the ACA. He said, "The American people have an expectation — Wisconsinites have an expectation — that members of Congress should be subjected to the letter of the law just like they're held to the letter of the law. In this case, members of Congress now are not being held to the letter of the law, and that creates an alienation. It creates a wedge between a member of Congress and their constituents."[29] Jim Sensenbrenner had harsh words for Johnson's lawsuit. He said, "Senator Johnson's lawsuit is an unfortunate political stunt. I am committed to repealing Obamacare, but the employer contribution he's attacking is nothing more than a standard benefit that most private and all federal employees receive — including the President. Success in the suit will mean that Congress will lose some of its best staff and will be staffed primarily by recent college graduates who are still on their parents' insurance. Senator Johnson should spend his time legislating rather than litigating as our country is facing big problems that must be addressed by Congress — not the courts. All Republicans want to repeal Obamacare, but this politically motivated lawsuit only takes public attention away from how bad all of Obamacare really is and focuses it on a trivial issue. Fortunately, Senator Johnson's suit is likely frivolous and will not achieve the result he's seeking."[30]
Johnson responded to Sensenbrenner's comments. He said, "I have always respected Congressman Sensenbrenner, but I am disappointed and puzzled by his disagreement with me on an issue that all but two congressional Republicans (including Congressman Sensenbrenner) have voted in favor of — ending the special treatment for members of Congress and their staffs under Obamacare. By no means do I believe this issue is trivial, or my lawsuit to overturn this injustice is frivolous," Johnson said in his response. "This is an issue of basic fairness that I believe is worth fighting for."[30]
Mexico-U.S. border
Johnson voted for Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[31]
Social issues
Violence Against Women (2013)
Johnson voted against S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[32]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Johnson voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by an 89 - 8 vote on January 1, 2013.[33]
August 2013 ad about Johnson
League of Conservation Voters
The League of Conservation Voters spent $2 million on ads against Johnson and other climate change deniers in August of 2013. According to the LCV president, Gene Karpinski, "The American people are tired of Washington politicians ignoring basic scientific facts and standing in the way of action on climate change. This ad campaign shows that members of Congress won't be able to sweep their extreme, anti-science voting records under the rug." Johnson responded to the ads saying, "The League of Conservation voters is not an organization with a balanced approach to a cleaner environment. "They are an extreme left group on an environmental jihad."

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by EARDRAGGER733 Well worth the money! I bought this glove for my 8yr old. We were looking for something with a deep pocket. He tried this one on and said this was the one. It broke in relatively easy and quick. My only negative is the lack of padding in the palm area. There is almost none so you had better make every catch in the pockt. But like I said, the pocket is really deep so this isn't much of an issue. March 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Stripe10 Stiff My Wilson glove is beginning to break down and this one is the closed thing to it. Actualy this DeMarini glove is made by Wilson so it could be from the same pattern. Fit is a true 13". I like the adjustable strap on the back. Biggest thing is the leather. It is stiff, really stiff. At purchase, I paid for steamming, they put it in twice. And it took both those times to get the glove to close around a ball. I'm still getting cramps in my thumb when I try to open it. Just needs more breakin time. I've used some Nokian oil and has seemed to help. The oil really helped soften it up so I could shape it. The padding, stitching and build quality seems good for the price point, but expect a long break-in time. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Joemack66 Awesome glove! This glove was ready to be used in game action right out of the box! Soft leather and the glove was shaped perfectly. I love it so much that I am going to purchase the 14" too. July 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Katie332 good glove Good quality soft material, does need some breaking in April 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Amy Nice glove, great brand. So far so good, still trying to get it broken in.... September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by NWS24 DeMarini Diablo Glove catches a great review from me I play a very active slow pitch softball schedule (between 100 to 120 games) per year. I own 5 gloves and have worn out my daily glove and have been searching for a replacement for the past year. I have found it with the DeMarini glove. I had the glove steamed at the Dick's Sports store in Puyallup Wa. and then while the glove was still warm I applied a glove conditioner on the glove. I used the glove the very next day while playing two double header games (4 games). The glove has a great fit and feel and while playing felt as though I had been using the glove all season. It was the fastest break-in period I have ever experienced. Great job at the store and a great product. Thanks June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bob Awesome Softball Glove I purchased this glove which was recommended by the salesman in store. It was a little stiff as all new gloves, but he assured me that after I put conditioner on it, it will soften up nicely and quickly. Well, I took it home and put on the conditioner and it softened up very nice, and is getting more flexible with each use. I highly recommend this glove, and the price is very affordable. June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by scottyp amazing glove Very impressed with this purchase. bought same glove last season was lost in house fire so i liked it that much i bought same one. April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by 51mongo54 great glove We purchased this glove, had it steamed, played catch with it for a few days, added and worked in some oil, one night, and she used it in a tournament that next weekend. She is 8yrs old and she loves it. August 13, 2013

VANCOUVER, Wash. -- The Vancouver teen who was killed by police last Friday died after he was shot in the back, the Clark County Medical Examiner said Monday.
Doug Combs, 16, died in gunfire in a downtown Vancouver neighborhood at about 11:30 p.m. Police said they had been following Combs because he was a suspect in a home invasion shooting in Hazel Dell earlier that day, along with two recent convenience store armed robberies.
The medical examiner listed Combs' official cause of death as gunshot wounds of the back.
I heard four or five fired gunshots, said Pete Johnson who lives near the shooting scene at East 21st and C Street.
Terry Greenen heard gunshots on both sides of his house. He also heard police make some kind of command right before the shots were fired.
I heard shots fired and there was one young man over there dead. They were not trying to resuscitate him, and a second one was right over here that was apprehended, said Greenen.
Police arrested a 16-year old who was with Combs at the time of the shooting. He was booked in the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center for unlawful possession of a firearm.
The probable cause document obtained by KGW showed that police said the second youth fled while armed with a semi-automatic pistol. He was captured a short time later after he collided with a police car and admitted possessing the gun, investigators said.
The Camas Police Department and Vancouver Police Department continue to investigate the officer-involved shooting.
Doug Combs' oldest brother Brian drove down from Seattle after hearing his brother was killed.
The thing I don t understand is he made a mistake and deserved to be punished, but what I don't understand is why if they knew where he was, they couldn't have used non-lethal force, Brian said.

They both sound nice, especially the Aventis. Are these going to be released worldwide and not just in the USA like Windsor was?
Aventis is going to be released as a regular lineup scent in all the sizes. I am not sure about the oakmoss though. COnsidering it is banned I would think it has to be the synthetic type. The Spice and Woods will be the royal exclusive and this time instead of that stupid bulb you add to the top of it, it will already come with the spray attachment already added to it and it cannot be removed. As for worldwide releases, I do expect it to be released worldwide but I am not sure when. II think Creed france will have it before anyone else though.

for the update cairomerta. I'm still trying desperately to get my hands on a bottle of Windsor. I have a 10ml decant which I have been using and I've got to the stage now where I daren't use it other than special occasions, so it lasts as long as possible Nice to know Aventis will not be as hard to get my paws on
Aventis looks right up my alley. Looking forward to this.

Apple? In both? Hmm. Sounds like it smells synthy.
Pinapple. What is this? A cheap pizza topping? I mean ROYAL PINEAPPLE??
Has it got royal anything else? I'm not buying it unless EVERY fruit ingredient is royal.
Oakmoss is not banned but is heavilly restricted. There is talk of a "safe" oaknmoss with the "harmfull" material removed. Wonder what it smells like?

I'm in. Both of them. Sounds like some mighty fine stuff. Thank you, cairomerta. Cutting edge reporting, as always.
I don't know what to think of that bottle if it's real. The little horse is drawn kind of funny. It makes me think of some 4th grade student not paying attention in class--and the teacher walks over to their desk, looks under their textbooks and yanks up some little goofy drawing of a unicorn that they traced from a picture of a horse and then added a horn to.
Maybe it's just the glare from the pic, but it looks awkward. Maybe just out of frame is one of the "royal pineapple" plants and the little dude on the horse is out harvesting the fruit for His Majesty, throwing it into his little royal rucksack.
You know, allegedly after his death, the doctors preserved a small part of Napoleon. Enfleurage anyone?
I like Creed. I also like having fun with Creed.

Awesome info as always cairomerta. So what famous people were Aventus and Spice and Woods created for?
Spice and Woods sounds more interesting to me. What are the other Creeds that are coming out this year?
Oriscent, AgarAura Pure Ouds, Creed, LIDGE, Patou Pour Homme, tons of niche and rare stuff for sale!
Awesome info thanks! Spices and woods sounds amazing. I can't wait to try that one. I will start hounding my SA. The pinapple note in Aventus scares me a little and with ambergris listed as a basenote I really hope it's not built on the milesime base.
both sound like they will be unique additions to the Creed lineup. very interesting ingredients
thanks a lot, Cairomerta!
I will be curious to try these.
I think the bottle looks a bit amateur.
Are you saying Creed doesn't even know what they are going to put in a bottle and sell for $1000 in a few months? I wish I had a business where I could do that and still sell.
I do like a lot of Creed scents so I'm not a Creed hater but yes I do find their business model amusing at times.
cairomerta do you know anything about the now discontinued Private Collection that are now in a vault and will supposedly be released once every 10 years?

Is the fragrance called Aventis or Aventus? The thread title reads Aventis, but the bottle in the photo is Aventus.
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Its Aventus... I misspelled it. Its now corrected.
personally i want to try them out but neither sound very appealing to be honest. Hopefully i am mistaken.
You've really got the scoop, haven't you cairo.
I must say, I'm in the camp that doesn't really like the Aventus bottle, but not liking a bottle has never stopped me from enjoying a scent, so it's just a minor thing.
The base notes in both of these sound very tempting.
Last edited by mikeperez23; 15th June 2010 at 03:47 AM.
On another note, these two make use of patchouli, birch and oakmoss, notes which aren't used that much in typical Creed compositions. Another reason to get excited.

I'm exited to try Aventus when it's released, but the bottle looks terrible.
I kind of like the kitchy bottle, but I'm a bit concerned about the Ambergris in the base. Again???????????????????
Last edited by adonis; 15th June 2010 at 10:32 AM.
Definitely looking forward to trying these!
I assume that the thing that looks like a wing (Pegasus was my first thought) is Napoleon's cape. The bottle is indeed a bit over-the-top, but it is powerful - I hope the frag is, too. I've been having terrible longevity with Creed's other Napoleon frag, Bois du Portugal.

Ms. Creed, may I be the first to tell you "Welcome to Basenotes".
It would be really nice to have somebody from the Creed family offering more or less regularly first-hand information about your House's perfumes. We are an opinionated bunch of people, but seldom more evil than any other cross-section of the population ( :.

Panerai watches are produced according to very high standards of quality. It is worth remembering that the mechanical parts run 24 hours a day when used, so the watch must undergo regular maintenance to ensure long life and good operation.
Have your watch checked periodically for water-resistance by an Authorized Panerai Service Centre and restore it every two years with regular servicing, or whenever the watch has to be opened. Restoring the watch's water-resistance necessarily involves replacing the seals so as to ensure the maximum water-resistance and security. Where the watch is used in underwater sports activities, it is recommended that it should be checked every year before the season of underwater activities begins.
Have the movement of your watch checked periodically by an Authorized Panerai Service Centre so as to maintain its perfect operation. If the watch tends to gain or lose time significantly, the movement may need to be overhauled. The movements are designed to withstand temperature variations between - 10°C and +60°C (14°F and 140°F). Outside this range of temperatures, operational variations exceeding those set out in the specifications of the movement may be noticed. In addition, there is a risk that the lubricants contained in the movement may deteriorate, resulting in damage to some of its parts.
To keep the exterior in perfect condition, we recommend washing your Panerai watch with soap and warm water, using a soft brush. After this operation, and also after bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, carefully rinse the watch with clean water. All Panerai watches can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
Panerai straps must be washed in warm water and left to dry. It is important not to dry them on a hot surface or to expose them to direct sunlight, because the rapid evaporation of the water could damage their shape and quality. After each bathe in the sea or a swimming pool, carefully rinse the strap with clean water. It is recommended that the strap should be replaced by an Authorized Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any problems caused by incorrect replacement. Only an Authorized Distributor or Panerai Service Centre can guarantee the use of genuine Panerai straps, properly designed to fit the dimensions of the case and manufactured according to the quality standards of the brand. All alligator leather used by Officine Panerai comes from farms in Louisiana, USA. Officine Panerai's suppliers have committed to the highest standard of responsibility and have given their assurance that such farms in Louisiana contribute to the stable growth of wild alligators, thus protecting this endangered species. Panerai does not use skins coming from fragile or endangered species taken from the wild.
The Panerai bracelet can be washed with soap and warm water, using a soft brush. After this operation, and also after bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, rinse the bracelet carefully with clean water and dry it with a soft, dry cloth. It is recommended that links should be added to or removed from the bracelet by an Authorized Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any problems caused by incorrect replacement.

In 12 years of playing football, Northside has made it to the NCHSAA East Regional final five times.
Or, to put it another way, the Monarchs have been one of the state's top four teams in their classification at the end of nearly half of the dozen seasons they've put on shoulder pads and laced up cleats.
Impressive? No doubt. That's the good news.
And the bad?
Northside has never taken the next step, which is to make it to the state finals. Four straight seasons the Monarchs made it to the 2-A regional final from 2005 to 2008, with three of the four on the road.
Each time they've come up shy of their ultimate goal to win a state title.
But that's history.
And the top-seeded Monarchs (14-0) hope to make history tonight when they play host to second-seeded Carrboro (14-0) in a clash of unbeaten foes in the NCHSAA 2-AA regional final. Kickoff is
The winner will face the Salisbury-South Iredell survivor for the state title on Dec. 1 at Carter-Finley Stadium.
But first Northside must get past what has been a roadblock in the past, a past that coach Bob Eason, who has coached the Monarchs since their inception, said doesn't weigh on him heavily or otherwise.
"You can look at it a couple different ways. A lot of people would like to be in those shoes," Eason said. "Some people have never made a regional final. So I try not to think about it. I might think about it after the fact, but right now I'm just enjoying it, looking forward to it.
"There's no monkey on my back. We've done a good job. Coaches worked hard, players played hard. So whatever happens, happens. We certainly would like to get to the next step, but you've got to play a game Friday night and have to play well to get there."
Of Northside's four losses in the regional final, two were close, one was not and the fourth was in between. In 2005, Northside lost 20-14 at
In 2007, Northside lost at
Eason said he learned something from each of those games, especially the first one. But, he added, "each one of them was a little different."
"Sometimes I felt like we could have played better. Sometimes I felt we could have coached better. Sometimes I felt the situations just weren't there for us," he said. "It's just different each time, but you always try to go back (and examine what you do).
"I certainly take the top-down approach and start with me and see what I could have done better. So, yeah, there's some things I think about it that have helped me. I feel comfortable going into this game Friday."
Especially since it's at home, which more than one coach has argued is worth 3 to 7 points. Either way, Northside may need the points against a Carrboro squad that is averaging just over 41 points a game out of spread attack similar to that run by Croatan and Topsail, two teams the Monarchs beat during the regular season.
"They're dangerous on offense," Eason said. "I don't think they can throw anything at us that we haven't seen. It's just they might run it better than the other people."
The Jaguars aren't just a spread team, however. Eason said Carrboro will run some power plays out of the backfield as well as some option.
"They do a good job of mixing it up," he said.
Defensively, the Jaguars run a four-man front, but Eason expects Carrboro to bulk up the box with some added players to try to slow Northside's strong running attack, which is led by Dewayne Johnson, who has 1,595 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns.
Are the Monarchs ready for the challenge?
"We'll find out Friday," Eason said.
Pressed on the question, Eason was asked what his sense of his team was as it stands just one win away from a first-ever trip to the state finals.
"When you get this far it takes some luck and preparation," he said. "I think we've got the Jimmy's and Joe's, it's just the match-up sometimes, see what happens out there when we get matched up with them.
"That's a big part of it. Then the luck factor, the turnover factor; that kind of thing's going to play a part in it probably."
Still, there was a telling moment on Monday for Eason. The Monarchs may be undefeated, but they know they can get better, a fact that Eason saw as he talked with his players before the first practice of the week.
"I said, 'The thing is we're pretty good, but we've got room for improvement,'" Eason said. "We just started naming things we could do better and the guys were shaking their head about it. It's good to think, 'All right, there's a few things we can do to put this thing in overdrive. We haven't hit our top gear yet.'
"It's a good thing. They're playing hard, but they realize some of those small things that make a difference we can do better."
Perhaps even good enough to make history tonight.

According to Vodacom Blue Bulls assistant coach Mike Bayly, picking a loose-trio without a specialist openside-flank is done by choice.
The Bulls have selected the ball-carrying back row combination of Pedrie Wannenburg, Hilton Lobberts and Pierre Spies for their vital Absa Currie Cup match against the Sharks, but Bayly insists they won't be at a disadvantage at the breakdown.
"We consciously make the choice to select three ball carrying loose forwards," Bayly told Keo.co.za.
" We don't see it as a risk at all because Pedrie Wannenburg is great at the breakdown. He gets there so quickly and creates more turnovers than people realise. His been a key ball winner for us this season."
Bayly said their research had shown them that Wanneburg's effectiveness at the breakdown compared favourably to specialist openside-flankers in the Currie Cup.
"If you look at the games in their totality, and you assess the work done by the top fetchers in the tournament, Pedrie makes only one or two less turnovers in an entire game than they do. That's really not that much.
"On that basis, we choose to select the trio we do because Pedrie offers you the added benefit of being extremely good with ball in hand.
"But if the game dictates that we need a specialist fetcher we've got Derrick Kuün on the bench, so the theory that teams will dominate us at the breakdown is unfounded," he said.
Bayly though conceded that the Sharks loose trio would pose a significant threat at ruck time but said the Pretoria-based side were well prepared for them.
"They're great on the ground, especially their flankers Warren Britz and Jacques Botes. We'll look to nullify them by making sure that the support runners are always tight to the ball carrier and our cleaners at rucks and mauls have to do their job effectively."
The Wanneburg/Lobberts/Spies combination is one of the quickest and most physical back rows the Bulls have selected recently. But while Bayly said they would play a major role in getting the team go forward momentum, it will take a collective effort to will secure the much needed win.
"We're relying on everybody to contribute. The tight five know their job but we won't be one dimensional in attack.
"We've got a Super 14 quality backline. Heinie [Adams], Derrick [Hougaard] Wynand [Olivier] and JP [Nel] will provide the attacking power that we need and our outside backs are tremendous."
The Bulls tactics, particularly away from home have centered on Hougaard's boot gaining territory and the pack trying to dominate the set phases in the opposition's 22m area.
Bayly agreed that touch-finding kicks would be vital, lest the dangerous Sharks backline stuck on the counterattack.
"We are well aware that their back three are really dangerous from deep. They are not afraid to run the ball from inside their 22, so we'll have to be excellent defensively or we could be in serious trouble."

Comments about SOF SOLE Women's Athlete Insoles:
I bought these insoles a few years back when I played competitive volleyball in school. I replaced the standard insoles in my court shoes with this pair. They did a great job at supporting my arches and providing shock absorption. I could definitely tell a difference with these on. I held onto this pair for three years, playing through 3 volleyball seasons and working part-time in food service. I finally had to let them go when I wore a hole into the pair with my big toes. Right now I'm using a $10 pair of name-brand insoles from the drugstore in my work shoes, but they don't come close to the comfort of Sof Sole's insoles. These are at least 3x better. I need to buy a new pair!

Comments about SOF SOLE Women's Athlete Insoles:
This is a great cushioned running insole. I wear stability runners which aren't as cushioned so I love replacing the insoles with these. They provide a lot of cushioning so my feet feel great on road runs. They last longer than the shoes. I usually only get about 6 months out my shoes for running purposes, but the insoles are usually still good and I transfer them to my new pair. This is the second time I have bought these insoles. Good note, this is a replacement insole. SO you need to take out the old one before putting this one in. This particular type does not need to be trimmed to fit, which is nice.

The last departure is at 1:00 in the morning. The trip should take around 40 minutes depending on traffic. From Taksim, follow the directions below.
There is a tram line directly in front of the train station. Buy a token (1.50TYL) at one of the food kiosks and board the tram going to the Right towards KABATAS. Ride it to the end of the line. When you get off at KABATAS follow the signs across the street to the Funicular and go underground. Buy another token (1.50TYL) and ride the funicular to Taksim Square, then follow the directions below.
1) Directly in front of the stairway exiting the Funicular you will see a small grassy park with a monument in the center. Cross the street towards the monument, and then follow the tram lines to the LEFT towards the Burger King that sits on ISTIKLAL Street. (Istiklal is a large and busy shopping street that is usually packed with pedestrians at almost any time of day or night.)
2) Walk down ISTIKLAL for approximately 5 minutes until you arrive at the construction site for the Virgin Megastore at ATIF YILMAZ. (You will recognize it easily by the huge picture of a woman pointing at you. The Aga Camii mosque sits on your right, and you will see a Swatch watch store on your left.)
3)Turn RIGHT onto ATIF YILMAZ and walk approximately 1 minute until you see Taxim Park Bufe on KUCUK BAYRAM.
4) Turn LEFT onto KUCUK BAYRAM. (It is the first street you can take to the left)
5) Turn RIGHT onto TOPRAK L�LE and you will see Chillout Lya immediately on your left at Number 1.
Check-in is at the bar downstairs*
*If you are arriving late and the bar is closed, you can check in with our sister property, Chillout Cengo, just around the corner (10 meters away). Continue on TOPRAK L�LE to the first corner and turn right onto HALAS. The hostel is the second door on your right at Number 3. The sign is hanging above your head at the doorway.
