Jacksonville is making its run in the NCHSAA 3-A soccer playoffs look easy.
The Cardinals advanced to the East Regional semifinals with an 8-0 victory over Wilson Hunt Tuesday night, and now has defeated their three playoff opponents by a combined 24-1 score.
Not too bad for Jacksonville, which has been the top-ranked team in the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association 3-A poll since early October.
"Offensively, once we get going, it's tough to defend," Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said. "Tonight, we won a lot of balls in the midfield. Even though at times I thought we turned the ball over, we didn't allow them (Warriors) to get going, which helped us out a lot."
The Cardinals, the champion of the Coastal Conference, will have to travel when they play in the regional semifinals, which will likely be Saturday. Jacksonville will play the winner of tonight's game between Southern Nash (17-4-1) and Cleveland (19-6).
If Jacksonville were to win in that round, the Cardinals will have advanced to the regional finals for the eighth consecutive season.
"What we have been doing is working together, talking and moving the ball," Jacksonville senior goalkeeper Zach McCracken said. "We've had a pretty strong team this year and we've had really good teamwork."
That's because each and every one of the Cardinals have thoughts of winning a state title this year, senior midfielder Austin Patselas said.
"We all come ready for a common reason and that's the ring," he said. "We all want it more than everybody else and we want to prove that game after game."
Hunt first-year coach Scott Summers, whose team ended the season 16-7-1 and finished third in the Big East Conference, could only give credit to the Cardinals after the loss.
The Warriors dropped a 2-1 decision at Jacksonville last year in the regional semifinals.
"Jacksonville has a great team, an all-around team that can come at you from all different directions," Summers said. "I tried to go defensive from the beginning, but they got a quick early goal. We were still trying to fight to stay in it, but they just kept putting the ball in the back of the net."
The Cardinals began their scoring onslaught early as Patselas gave Jacksonville a 1-0 lead just 2:26 into the match. Following a Jacksonville corner kick, a Hunt defender attempted to kick the ball down the field, but it was blocked by Patselas, who then fired a shot from inside the 18-yard box.
"I took a chest volley and I tucked it away," Patselas said. "Most of the time when we get one, we can go off the hype and go at it."
This was the second straight game Patselas sparked the Cardinals with their first goal. He gave Jacksonville a 1-0 lead in a 7-1 second-round victory over West Brunswick on Saturday.
"Austin does a lot for us on the field," Miller said. "He's a good presence in the midfield, his work rate is good and he wins a lot of balls."
It didn't long after Patselas' goal for the Cardinals to extend their lead.
Senior Aaron Sparks scored just five minutes later after he took the ball to near the left post, slipped on the wet field, and shot while standing back up. Sophomore C.J. Sparks then scored off an assist from senior Blake Heatherly about 10 minutes later while Patselas made it 4-0 with 14:26 left in the first half when he scored off a 30-yard shot.
C.J. Sparks scored twice more in the second half while Aaron Sparks added another goal in the final 40 minutes.
"As long as you are winning, it doesn't matter who is scoring," Patselas said. "As long as you are winning, that's all that matters."
Miller has been pleased his team has showed this sort of balanced attack all season.
"Because you can't key on one player," he said. "It could be Warren (Washington) one night, it could be Aaron, C.J., Austin or Tyler Moore."
Jacksonville didn't allow a shot on goal until 12 minutes left in the first half.
Hunt 0 0— 0
Jacksonville 4 4— 8
GOALS—J: C. Sparks 3, Patselas 2, A. Sparks 2, Heatherly. ASSISTS—J: Heatherly, Patselas. IN GOAL—H: Andrew Sorrell (9 saves). J: McCracken (3 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—H 3, J 17. CORNER KICKS—H 0, J 10. RECORDS—H: 16-7-1, season complete. J: 23-1, at Southern Nash-Cleveland winner in regional semifinals.

We're the Cherry People. Every 8 oz. bottle of our original cheribundi cherry juice has over 50 tart cherries in it. Of course, each one tastes incredible — they're cherries, after all. But it's what they do that makes us shove so many in a bottle. Packed with phytonutrients, it's commonly called "the tart cherry" and is a true source of greatness for the body.* We've built our entire company around this amazing fruit, supporting the farmers who grow them and perfecting a juicing process that retains all of its delicious benefits. So drink up. You're about to be one of us, too.
This is not the artificial flavor-filled red sugar water labeled as "cherry juice" that you drank as a kid. It is made from orchard-fresh, tart cherries, mixed with some delicious and healthy fruits and juices. Together, they create a refreshing, thirst-quenching bounty. The kind of refreshment you'll want to have every day. Which is a good thing when you consider all the phytonutrients and anthocyanins you get.
Cheribundi built its name on the all-natural power of ripe, tart cherries. Now we're combining these benefits with teas from the far east. Black tea or jasmine, no matter the tea leaf, its restorative and regenerative properties have been well documented for centuries. So while Refresh doesn't contain as many cherries as our juices (those average 45 per bottle), it delivers a goodness all its own. All natural, meet all natural.
Why should juice have all the fun? We created a new way to enjoy those 100% natural tart cherries. And not to worry, our smoothies are just as full of nutrients, phytonutrients, vitamins, electrolytes, et cetera, as our juices. The advances in smoothie technology have been quite amazing in recent years. This smoothie here contains 25 tart cherries, picked at optimum ripeness, then smoothie-ized.

House Republicans blast OIRA over late regulations report
Friday - 10/26/2012, 1:30pm EDT
The chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees have written to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) demanding to know why the public release of a report on upcoming federal regulations is behind schedule.
OIRA publishes the Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions twice a year — in the spring and the fall. The report provides a snapshot of regulations that agencies are considering acting upon in the next year.
But the most recent report the agency has published is for fall 2011.
In their Oct. 25 letter to the agency, Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Lamar Smith (R-Texas), the chairmen of the Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary committees, respectively, say OIRA has not been forthcoming about the expected publication date of the spring report.
The congressman have asked for a meeting next week with OIRA officials.
Agencies missed 'firm deadline'
Issa and Smith initially wrote to OIRA in September requesting information about the report as well as the expected publication of a final report to Congress detailing the cost and benefits of new regulations.
In response, OIRA provided only "vague excuses about the documents (sic) tardiness and a statement that raises questions about the executive branch agencies' ability to comply with OIRA deadlines," the lawmakers wrote in their most recent letter.
Guidance issued last March by OIRA Administrator Cass Sunstein (who has since left the office) set a "firm deadline" of April 13 for agencies to submit information to OIRA for the spring report.
"Apparently either agencies ignored OIRA's direction or the information is being withheld from Congress and the public," Issa and Smith wrote in the letter.
OMB told Federal News Radio agencies are still in the process of compiling the most recent information for an updated report but did not provide specifics about the reason for the delay.
Lawmakers question OIRA's motives
OIRA has apparently been late in posting previous versions of the reports. The fall 2011 report wasn't updated until last February, according to a letter from OIRA Associate Director for Legislative Affairs Kristen Sarri, although Issa's office said it was actually updated in January.
"This lack of transparency raises questions about the motives behind the administration's apparent reluctance to inform Congress and the public about its regulatory plans," the lawmakers wrote in their letter. "Due to the impending election, it does raise concerns that the administration is holding back this information for fear it will be met with dissatisfaction by the public, or even worse, perceived as breaking the administration's promise of regulatory reform."
President Barack Obama has pushed agencies to reduce the number of new regulations and to periodically review existing rules to weed out those deemed obsolete or overly burdensome, although observers say those efforts have netted mostly limited progress.

It might be interesting to record when we went looking for an eggcorn only to find that it had already been bagged.
Today I thought of "holidays sauce" for "hollandaise sauce" and "asian orange" for "agent orange".

I dreamt up "a croc of shit" today. Been beaten to it though.

This happens to me all the time—I posted on "newmonic" just today, though I was pretty sure someone had beaten me to it even before I logged on.
I've just looked up acidulous/assiduous and found that it's already been posted. To kampong my frustration, it seems I posted it myself.

Enjoy very much looking at everyone's collection. Very impressive indeed.
Beautiful collection there(esp Les Parisiennes line) and glad to see you didn't use that bulb atomizer thingy on your goodies.
L'Heure de Nuit quite good isn't it? I enjoyed very much the soapy aspect in the middle stage from this one.
L'Heure de Nuit is surprisingly good. I can't lie though, half the reason I bought it was the color of the juice alone...the other half being the good reports I was hearing. I'm happy with it though, and it looks gorgeous next to Vetiver Pour Elle and Cherry Blossom.

Can anyone recommend me a cheap, nice way of displaying my scents that won't expose them to so much light (I see these collections and wonder if being exposed to room lights will cause faster spoilage)? Right now I just have them in a big box I got that is now completely filled with fragrances and decants and I need some alternate form of storage.
Bigtruck260, your mini's are adorable. Wish I had some.
Here's my collection guys.
Don't worry that radiator is permanently off and the window has blinds that are shut ;-)

Decided to take some pictures since I doubt I'll be buying much in the coming year (life changes.) This is my entire collection, barely fitting on my dresser....
I have gone through these over and over in my head...selling many old ones...weeding out the bad, replacing them with the good that I've found. Each bottle I have justified in my head, each bottle I feel belongs in my collection as of right now. I feel good about how it has turned out, somewhat proud to have assembled it. There is not a dud in the group in my eyes. I don't have time to waste on the mediocre, I need to spend my time enjoying my gems.
Angled! Yea!
A selection of what I'd consider my very favorites as of right now....

Where they are housed for now...(completely full)
@ starshipvelcro
It's breath-taking!
Great shots and great collection Starship! Congrats!
Sweet pics Starship - which Xerjoff is that in the pic of your current favorites? Also, what is that white bottle in the back with the four gold dots?
Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea Profumi del Forte
The Xerjoff is 1861, which I find to be one of the best citruses I've tried.

I am so excited that I finally get to participate in this thread. I just got a new glass tower from IKEA and I just had to show off my collection. I know it is small, but I've only been collecting for 8 months now. Let me know what you think!
The top two levels are niche (some you cannot see). Then, the level below that is designer fragrances, and finally the row on the bottom is all of my samples. If you look, the ones on the left in the front are all Slumberhouse, then it goes Amouage, Creed, By Killian, and then a few random decants.
Nice collection OctaVarium,
What r those decants?
Thank you for sharing your amazing collections!

Apply to face area morning and night.
Made in China.
Please view the above Ingredients tab for ingredient information.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3: Argireline is the trade name. Synthetically produced, it is a peptide made of amino acids. It can help reduce the overall appearance of deep wrinkles.
Algae: A simple celled organism. Commonly derived from seaweed and other times harvested in ponds, algae are touted as a moisturizer. It is rich in minerals and therefore believed to have anti-oxidant properties that are revitalizing to the skin. Some algae will shrink as they dry on the skin, providing a temporary tightening effect.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA): A common and well known chemical exfoliator that helps loosen the dry rough skin cells to reveal softer, smooth looking skin. It has been used for many years, and is now offered in a milder formulation in beauty products. It reveals, through chemical exfoliation, a new layer of skin by helping increasing the cell turnover rate. It is used to reduce the look of wrinkling, roughness and skin discoloration. Mainly available in facial and body creams, it's also found in some cosmetic preparations.
Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis): The aloe plant that is used in topical preparations is one of 300 species of aloes and is indigenous to South Africa. Known for its skin smoothing and rejuvenating properties, Aloe Vera has almost the same ph as the skin and is generally believed to be hypoallergenic to most individuals because of this. References of aloe can be found in the Bible, as well as other ancient texts. According to ancient records and data, it has been used for at least 3,000 years.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid: A fairly recent discovery of the mid 20th century (1951), Alpha-Lipoic acid is part of the B complex family. The body makes up its own lipoic acid, but most is derived from food sources. Its most unique property is that it was found to be fat and water soluble. This unique quality makes it more effective in its antioxidant qualities since it can help provide free radical protection in both the watery (aqueous) and oily (lipid) part of cells. This two-fold nature had earned it the title of "ideal" or "universal" anti-oxidant. It may also have the capability of regenerating other anti-oxidants such as Vitamins C and E.
Bentonite Clay: Used in spas around the world as a soothing, rejuvenating facial mask, this clay is used to absorb oil and impurities, and help skin feel soft and smooth. Found all over the world, particularly in the US and Canada, this clay was initially a deposit of prehistoric volcanic ash.
Coenzyme Q10: Also known as Ubiquinone, it derives from the same root word as 'ubiquitous,' meaning "found everywhere." Aptly named, CO Q10 is found in every cell of your body, and levels are reported to decrease with age. It is considered an antioxidant nutrient and has been found to help offer protection from free radicals.
Copper Peptide: Helps trigger the skin's own renewal process with rejuvenating effects.
DMAE: Dimethylaminoethanol, a relative newcomer on the beauty scene, promotes skin firmness. Mostly found in anti-aging lotions and creams. It can help improve overall tone of the skin while encouraging elasticity.
Papaya Enzyme: Derived from the fruit Carica papapya. It contains the enzyme papain and helps dissolve the proteins in dead skin through the process of digestion. The exfoliation process exposes a newer, younger layer of skin.
Glycolic Acid: Derived from sugarcane, it is used as an exfoliant and is related to alpha-hydroxy acid in its action. Often added to cosmetic products to control the acid and alkali balance.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Found in the body, Hyaluronic Acid is used to lubricate joints and cushion other parts such as the skin. It's used in topically applied rejuvenating products to increase the skin's moisture, volume and fullness. It is capable of absorbing and retaining water over 1,000 times its weight.
Idebenone: Idebenone is pronounced (eye-deb-eh-known). A relatively new discovery in the beauty and anti-aging industry, Idebenone is an organic compound reputed to have superior anti-oxidant properties very similar to that of Coenzyme Q10. It is actually the bioengineered variation of Coenzyme Q10. It acts as a protector against free radicals. Due to production costs, it tends to cost a bit more than other beauty ingredients. However, a demand continues to exist because of its reputation for anti-aging and brightening properties.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Oil is distilled from the tops of flowering lavender plants. Generally added to products as a perfume, it is found in soaps, perfumes and topical skin preparations. Also, according to the long standing practice of aromatherapy, the scent is also believed to soothe stress.
Matrixyl 3000: Best known to help reduce wrinkle depth. Matrixyl 3000 differs from Matrixyl in that Matrixyl 3000 is made up of both Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide (Matrixyl only has one peptide, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide). An essential function of Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is that it enhances the production of collagen, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide combines with other ingredients to optimize the environment to stimulate collagen production. Matrixyl 3000 is renowned in the anti-aging industry for its wrinkle reducing properties, along with improving skin tone and helping to reduce roughness.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A naturally occurring B vitamin found in various plants including sweet birch and wintergreen leaves. It can also be created synthetically through a process of heating phenol and carbon dioxide. It is used for a number of purposes, including its antimicrobial action in preserving products. It is also used to slough the skin, aiding with acne and wrinkled skin.
Shea Butter: An emollient plant lipid. The fruit of the karaite tree in the Savannah region of West Africa produces a rich, luxurious moisturizing fat. The fruit is crushed and boiled until it resembles an ivory or yellow colored cream. It's widely used in lotions, creams, hair conditioners and lipsticks.
Vitamin A: Used for its moisturizing properties.
Vitamin C: Also known as Ascorbic Acid, it is especially used in anti-wrinkle creams and serums. It's valued for its ability to act as a preservative and antioxidant protection. Depending on the type of product, it comes in several forms, such as a powder or cream.
Vitamin E: Also known as Alpha Tocopherol, is derived from vegetable oils. It's used as a moisturizing antioxidant.
Zinc Oxide: Widely used for numerous beauty products, zinc oxide is used in: blush, shaving creams, light and white eye shadows, powders, cosmetics, antiperspirants and depilitories. It is also used in foundations and dusting powders for its opaque qualities.
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that ultimately leads to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your finger tips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes. In order to prevent streaks, allow your moisturizer to penetrate before applying foundation.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
The key to maintaining normal skin is to adhere to a regular beauty regimen. Use a cleanser both day and night for normal skin types. A mild toner is recommended to remove remaining traces of soap and dirt. Use a lightweight lotion or cream with an SPF after you wash.
Depending on your age, environment or skin needs, try a serum as a base for your moisturizer. If you live in a cold or particularly arid environment, a serum may be just the right addition to your regimen. Choose a lighter lotion or heavier cream based on your skin's response to each. If your skin feels too greasy after a cream, try a lotion. Conversely, if your skin feels tight or lacks moisture, try a heavier lotion or cream.
Weekly Skin Care Routine:
A mild exfoliator will help remove the top skin cells and allow your face to glow with fresh skin. You can offset any occasional or seasonal oiliness or dryness with a clay or moisturizing mask.

As a new year has begun, many people await the many speeches from public officials and particularly President Barack Obama about the state of the union and even the state of their very own state such as in Mississippi. Governor Phil Bryant gave his ŌĆ£State of the StateŌĆØ address yesterday; giving me reason to think what the state of Mississippi State basketball is? From a distance, one could say that this 2012-2013 season could possibly be the worst year of basketball Mississippi State (MSU, State) could possibly have. Yet letŌĆÖs not judge a book by its cover, letŌĆÖs actually crack this one open and discuss it, starting from the prologue and the situation State was put up against at the finish of the 2011-2012 season.
It was a 2011-2012 season which started off better than many people expected in the Bulldog nation. A victory in the 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden with wins over ranked Texas A&M and Arizona set the State faithful abuzz about how good this team could be in the coming games. And they were almost better than advertised as State amassed a 15-4 record up to February 9 following the tournament championship in New York City. Even looking like a team that could possibly make a run in the NCAA tournament, MSU hoped to pick up an easy win against a not too hot Georgia at the Hump on a Saturday February 11, 2012. It was not to be as State lost in overtime to Georgia, resulting in a late season tailspin which the Bulldogs could never truly recover from. Soon the true attitudes of many of the players began to blossom and especially the man-child known as Renardo Sydney. SydneyŌĆÖs terrible work ethic and down-right awful attitude took over the team like a virus and led to the early exit defeat to Georgia in the SEC tournament which embarrassed MSU. Then a first-round defeat by the University of Massachusetts in the NIT made many fans unsatisfied if not angered beyond measurement. Mississippi State finished the season 21-12 overall, but the season could not be appreciated as a 2-7 finish left a huge blemish on everything.
After such a dismal finish, many fans sought the firing of head coach Rick Stansbury, claiming he had lost control of his athletes, that he had been at State too long, and he had become too relaxed at the head coaching position. Like a witch hunt with a brutal finish, Stansbury was ŌĆ£kindlyŌĆØ asked to step down as acting head coach and pushed to take a ŌĆ£small-time positionŌĆØ with the Mississippi State Athletic Department. Closing out his 14 year tenure at the helm of Mississippi State basketball, Stansbury collected a 293-164 (0.641) record and five trips to a second round game in the NCAA tournament but never further.
Now with an empty position, Athletic Director Scott Stricklin had quite a task ahead of him, one that could be considered meticulous and very challenging. How could an A.D. continue to please fans while also selecting a coach who could possibly produce wins the next seasons? After a good while on the coaching carousel, Rick Ray , an Associate Head Coach from Clemson, was selected in. Not garnering much excitement, Ray took a podium on the floor of the Humphrey Coliseum and looked like a possible savior that might lead State away from the dark road it was traveling. Ray spoke about working hard, relentless effort, and the type of offense and defense he would bring to Mississippi State. And even though Ray touched on the many things State fans had begged from Stansbury to do, many walked away unsatisfied about the experience level and young age of the this coach. How in the world would this coach turn things aroundŌĆ" how?
Well it never got easier for Head Coach Ray, the news of potential star Rodney Hood transferring to Duke hit the basketball program and the Bulldog faithful like a ton of bricks. This transfer began the great scramble to see who was left on the roster at State and it did not look positive. The graduation of Arnett Moultrie, the do-it all center, and Dee Bost, the superman of MSU basketball, and the transfer of Hood left the Bulldogs with very little experience. There was some hope left as five freshman were to come in which held some promise and six letterman remained on the team. Yet the adversity did not end with roster spots, Ray brought a new mantra of hard work and discipline to the Mississippi State basketball program which did not sit well with a handful of players. These players were chased off and two in particular tried to stay on till the very end. Ray cited repeated team rule violations as reasons for Shaun Smith, a guard, and Kristers Zeidaks, a player that gave depth to the front court, to receive their packing orders to head home by late August.
Though many thought the skies had cleared, the weather got even rougher for the hardwood Bulldogs. A small roster could not afford the loss of players to injury, but it happened quicker than anybody expected. By the end of preseason freshman Andre Applewhite, knee, and Jacoby Davis, knee, were sidelined for the rest of the season. Also freshman guard and Jackson native Fred Thomas missed a large portion of preseason workouts due to a stress fracture in his foot. For many Mississippi State fans, the thought of cancelling the season began to look like a definite possibility.
The Bulldogs scared their fans early in an exhibition game taking on lowly NAIA William Carey located right outside of Hattiesburg. It was a closer game than many expected and a contest State nearly lost. Luckily, the Bulldogs were able to pull a narrow victory over William Cary 80-74. Following that game, State opened the regular season with a road trip to Troy, Alabama taking on the Troy University Trojans. Once again, State hoop fans thought they were living a nightmare as the Bulldogs fell to the Trojans 56-53 in a tight ballgame. Maybe some fans had set their expectations too high, expecting Rick Ray to be the Babe McCarthy of the modern era. It never got better early in the season as a trip to the Maui Invitational resulted in much higher-caliber teams such as North Carolina, Marquette, and Texas, running all over a seven-man roster of Mississippi State. And even though State picked up a handful of wins during the non-conference portion of the schedule these were teams that everyone expected Ray and his Bulldogs to defeat. At the end of two long, painful months, Mississippi State held a 5-7 overall record and possibly some self-esteem issues.
State never let any doubt creep into the locker room though as MSU opened their conference play to a very challenging South Carolina under an outstanding first-year head coach Rick Martin formerly of Kansas State University. The Dogs trailed by 48-42 with six minutes remaining but used heart and determination to overcome the deficit and pick up their first Southeastern Conference (SEC) win 56-54. Defying all odds, State continued their winning ways in Athens, Georgia defeating the Georgia Bulldogs 72-61. State could not keep the streak alive though last Wednesday and Saturday as Alabama demolished MSU and Tennessee pulled away, giving the Bulldogs two SEC losses.
Looking through the body of work that head coach Ray has submitted for review, I would give him and his staff a ŌĆ£C+/B-.ŌĆØ Ray has brought a new mantra to the team, teaching hard work, heart, and discipline. After cleaning up the teams disciplinary actions, Ray has been able to create a core group of players which will do anything for him. The schedule has been a very arduous one for a team with a tough hand of cards, but Ray has stuck with it and all the State faithful will hope he continues to improve. I am still hesitant to crown Coach Ray after some blowout losses and an embarrassing loss to Alabama A&M at the Hump leaves me to grade him between a ŌĆ£C+/B-ŌĆ£.
So my suggestions for many State fans is enjoy watching the Bulldogs play basketball, they may not be the Miami Heat, but enjoy watching them try their best for Mississippi State University. Stop expecting a national title run and expect the Bulldogs to shock the world rather than win them all. You will appreciate the less stressful environment you have put yourself and be more willing to appreciate their efforts.

LeBron shot 7-for-38 (18%) from outside the paint in The Finals. Didn't matter one bit
Weezy wrote:He earned his ring, no question, but I certainly don't have to praise him or like him, f*** LeBron. And as for the Heat fans coming out saying "what can you say now?", I can say what he said, about damn time. Only took you 9 years, joining a super team, a lockout shortened season, stopping the choking, and going through maybe one of the weakest East playoff brackets of all time to finally get that ring, congrats. This top 10, he's in the conversation with MJ after only 1 ring ish needs to stop though, give me an f'ing break. When I see more rings, consistent runs of absolute greatness to multiple titles like MJ, Magic, Kobe, and others, then we'll talk, seriously F today's prisoner of the moment media.
I don't want to diminish the greatness of Tim Duncan in the early-2000s, Shaquille O'Neal at his peak or Kobe Bryant just a few years ago… but nobody since Jordan has done more things well and at critical times than James did this season.
Kareem, 1971: 27-19-3, 61% FG, Finals MVP
Kareem, 1985: 26-9-5, 61% FG, Finals MVP
Doc Brown wrote:1st Knicks - Amare hurts himself, Baron hurts himself, Shumpert hurts himself, Lin already injured. On top of that they weren't even a good team to begin with. Also Chandler had the flu for the 1st two games of the series.
2nd round Pacers - Good team, but nowhere near ready to take the next step. They pushed the Heat a little bit, but in the end they weren't that strong of a team.
3rd round Boston - Allen hurt. Bradley out. Pierce hurt. Took them to the wire, but it wasn't enough.
Finals - One of the weakest Finals in awhile. Looked like a rec league game and OKC played about as bad as you could play. There defense was atrocious and they definitely got caught in the moment and showed their age in all the games.
Not to mention, Chicago without Rose, Orlando without D12, ATL and Philly not even close to contending.
Pretty weak run through the East and the Heat struggled to beat the Celtics and were down to the Pacers.
This is what the league will become with the new CBA a bunch of weaker teams all having a chance to win, but in reality it's really watering down the league and bringing down the competitiveness and level of play.
As for Lebron, put up those stats vs. some real teams you know ones that all the greats before you, that you are magically above now, elevated their play against the better and more talented teams of the past. There is no way he puts up those numbers vs. the early Spurs of the 2000's, the Kings, Blazers, Celtics of the past. The Laker teams that won it all. No way.
The playoffs this year were a coast and a joke to be honest. East was a joke and the West was made of teams either too old (Lakers/Spurs/Mavs), too young (Denver/Utah/Clips) or too inexperienced (Memphis/OKC).
Definitely a down year compared to most........but alas, the King has won and it's the greatest thing anyone has ever seen.

That despite — or maybe because of — predictions for reserved holiday spending this year.
Wells Fargo's latest outlook report estimates a modest rise of 3.8 percent over last year, a smaller increase than the U.S. saw in 2011.
Lane Bryant's new digs
Lane Bryant is hyping its new Gastonia location as "just in time for the holidays."
It's not as clever as calling their plus-size line "curvy apparel" but local shoppers will find the 3,700-square-foot space roomy enough.
Lane Bryant, along with its in-store Cacique lingerie boutique, moved from Franklin Square near Walmart to Franklin Square next to Books-A-Million. It means a departure from the plus-size niche that once existed in the shopping center corner with Cato Plus and also-relocated Manhattan Fashions Big & Tall.
The chain says it also means expanded fitting rooms and swankier décor.
How to name your own price, sort of
One theme you'll see emerging this holiday: price matching.
Most of the biggest chains have it already and Target says for the first time it will match prices from online retailers.
Best Buy, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us have similar online and in-store offers.
The trick is bringing in proof of a lower price somewhere else, making sure it's current and keeping track of the pages and pages of specific price-matching rules for each store.
It also won't hurt to ask your hometown, non-chain retailer — if you can find one — whether he or she will honor competitor coupons or prices.
Skip the tax on appliances
This weekend marks the well-timed (for the holidays anyway) Energy Star sales tax holiday across the state.
Starting Friday and extending through Sunday, Gaston shoppers can forget the normal 6.75-percent sales tax on certain energy efficient appliances.
Businesses get the same break as individuals.
Expect your local big boxes, mom and pop shops and other stores to use discounts for luring in appliance buyers.
Several area store employees — the ones on the floor, not those cleared by the corporate office to spew the company line — tell me the deals are better on this, the least popular of tax-free weekends. That's probably because the limited number of eligible products means fewer people cramming the aisles than on the "everything's tax free" holidays.
So stores will work a little harder to lure you there.
Look for the bright blue Energy Star sticker to tell if your purchase qualifies. There's no minimum or maximum price to get the break on sales tax.
One caveat: Do the math.
If you were going to buy the $330 dishwasher anyway, it makes sense to do it now and save the $22.
But if you couldn't afford the dishwasher beforehand, a 6.75-percent discount isn't going to change that.

Biker groups bring toys, smiles to kids at Everett hospital
2 biker groups donate toys to kids at Providence's Everett hospital

Andrea Torres, 6, is greeted by members of the motorcycle group the Sky Valley Alky Angels at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett on Saturday afternoon. Members of the biker club joined the Everett chapter of the Unchained Brotherhood to deliver toys to the hospital.
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Members of two local motorcycle groups, the Sky Valley Alky Angels and the Everett chapter of the Unchained Brotherhood, delivered toys for children at $START_URL$Providence Regional Medical Center Everett;http://washington.providence.org/hospitals/regional-medical-center/$STOP_URL$ on Saturday.
Members of two local motorcycle groups came to Providence on Saturday to deliver toys for children staying at the hospital.
The one they call "Rotten" thundered to a stop astride a customized Harley-Davidson with ape-hanger handlebars. More than two dozen brother and sister bikers had his back as they swarmed the hospital entrance on Saturday afternoon.
Most had survived hell. Today, they weren't messing around.
They popped open small trailers some of the motorcycles were towing to reveal a cache -- of stuffed animals and other toys.
"For us, it's all about giving back to the community," said "Rotten," aka Jerry Remington of Everett.
Remington, 48, is the local chapter president of the Unchained Brotherhood, a motorcycle club that helps men overcome drug addiction. He's about to celebrate his 10th year in recovery.
A clean-and-sober motorcycle association called the Alky Angels had invited the Unchained Brotherhood to join them Saturday in delivering toys for children being treated at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
It's something the Alky Angels have done for more than a decade. The group had just made a toy delivery to Providence in June, but that supply dried up about three weeks ago.
"The hospital called me and said they were out toys, so we put one together quick," said Norm Selset, of Snohomish, president of the Alky Angels Sky Valley Chapter.
Saturday's donation came thanks in part to a steep discount from Prospector Liquidation in Everett.
The shipment filled up two oversize cribs parked outside a north entrance to the hospital.
"That's really our only source of toys for the children," said Deborah Long, a pediatric nurse who helped coordinate the donation. "It's really a great service they provide."
Andrea Torres, 6, of Marysville, sat in a wheelchair clutching a new white bear, courtesy of the clean-and-sober biker crew. She hoped to head home soon, after being treated for a kidney infection.
The toys go to children in situations such as having an IV started, or after returning from surgery. They're even used to put the occasional adult at ease.
"Stuffed animals are usually what they want," Long said of the children. "It helps alleviate their anxiety considerably. We're not as intimating that way."
Not only do the toys make hospital workers in white coats less intimidating, they do the same for motorcycle enthusiasts decked out in black leather.
"This is a way to be part of the solution, not part of the problem," Selset said.
The 55-year-old leader knows about problems. Selset overcame an alcohol addiction that netted him three drunken driving charges before he went sober at age 27.
His Alky Angels chapter, like others throughout the Northwest, brings together men and women with the same two-wheeled passion.
"A lot of times, when we give up our drugs and our alcohol, we don't know what to do," he said.
Not everyone in the pack is a recovering alcoholic or drug addict. Some are "normies" -- people who can drink normally, or in moderation, without getting into trouble. Most who fall into that category are relatives or family of other members in recovery.
The group stands ready to help when individual members need it.
Jeff Coles, 47, of Lynnwood, has been riding with the Alky Angels for about seven months. He earned his nickname "Flip" on Aug. 14. He has two arm casts to show for it.
He had been traveling to an Alky Angels campout in Yakima when he crashed at 70 mph, sending him and his Harley Sportster end over end. He woke up about 15 minutes later.
Coles said the other Angels have been with him at every turn, as he heals from the compound fractures he suffered in both arms.
"I've been wanting to be an Alky Angel since 1990, but wasn't able to clean myself up," he said.
Shelly Nelson, 49, of Snohomish, is the secretary of the association's Sky Valley chapter. Nelson said she got involved as part of her alternative sentencing in drug court.
"I was basically given a choice: get clean and sober or do prison time," she said.
By that point in her life, she said her record included felony gun, drug and theft charges.
There's a word these bikers use for drink- and drug-related problems: wreckage.
"I created a lot of wreckage with my meth usage," Nelson said.
Said Selset: "That's what we call the chaos and the trouble we got into -- the wreckage of the past."

VAN BUREN TWP. — A 16-year-old Botkins boy was struck and killed Tuesday evening as he rode his bike along Lock Two Road.
On Tuesday March 18 at 7:40 p.m., the Shelby County Sheriff's Office received a report of a personal injury crash involving a pickup truck and a bicyclist on Lock Two Road near Kettlersville Road in Van Buren Township.
Preliminary investigation revealed a blue Ford Ranger was traveling west on Lock Two Road just east of Kettlersville Road. The vehicle struck a bicyclist also traveling west on the road.
The driver of the Ranger, Richard Kuck, 72, of New Knoxville, stated he did not see the bicyclist on the road because of the bright sun in his eyes.
The bicyclist, identified as 16-year-old Zachary Kerns, of Botkins, a sophomore at Anna High School, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Shelby County Coroner's Office. Anna Rescue and Van Buren Township Fire personnel also responded to the scene.
"This has been an awfully difficult day," Anna Superintendent Andy Bixler said Wednesday afternoon. "Our hearts go out to Zach's family."
Bixler said school staff members and local clergy have been in to help with counseling, and Botkins School sent two additional counselors to Anna to help. He said the sophomore class "spent a lot of the day together" to provide mutual support. Most of Kerns' classmates had not heard about the accident until they arrived to school Wednesday morning.
"He was a really nice young man," Bixler said. "He was on the football team. He had an injury and a surgery this year, so he was working his way back from that. I think he had plans to run track this spring."
Bixler said Kerns had a twin sister, Chelsea, who also is a sophomore at the school.
The speed limit on Lock Two Road is 55 mph, and authorities do not believe speed was a factor. Kuck also was not suspected of any impairment.
The crash remains under investigation.
This story will be updated as further details become available.

SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – The Miami University men's golf team finished in 13th place at the Northern Intercollegiate Tournament on Sunday. The RedHawks shot a final round of 15-over par 303 to finish the tournament at 63-over par. UCF, who was in fourth place after round two, ended up winning the tournament with a score of 866.
"This week was a great test for our team," said head coach Zac Zedrick. "Rich Harvest Farms is one of the six NCAA Regional sites this spring and the field was very similar to what we'll see at just about any regional site."
As a team, the RedHawks' score improved each round, bringing them back up to 13th place.
"Our play in the first round was disappointing, but I definitely saw steady improvement from everyone throughout the tournament," said Zedrick.
Jack Sparling finished strong, shooting a final round of 2-over par 74, leaving him with a score of 225 tied for 33rd place.
Both Scott Cahill and Daniel Schwarz tied for 64th place after shooting 18-over par, leaving them with a score of 234.
Other golfers include Mark MacDonald who shot 6-over par 78, leaving him with a score 240 tying for 74th place, along with teammate Greg Conrad who shot 8-over par 80 finishing with a score of 242 that tied for 79th place.
"I was particularly proud of how we responded after getting off to a tough start today, playing our best nine holes of the tournament coming in," said coach Zedrick. "We have a team that's going to get better with each competitive experience and I think we can build off of the things we learned this week going into Michigan next weekend."
The Miami University men's golf team will be traveling to Ann Arbor, Michigan Sept. 16-17 to compete in the Wolverine Intercollegiate.

Do you know the best thing about joining in on educational functions? The awesome opportunity to hang with old friends and a chance to make new connections as well.
I have always loved being a part of a group, sharing like interests. In the past that has meant vegetarian societies, meditation sangats and community visitor associations. In this instance @ Botanica 2012, was all about plant medicine lovers! You can imagine there was no shortage of compassionate, forward thinking, intuitive folks present. All traits, that in my experience, are generally found in complementary care givers.
So, by day we were graced by one impressive speaker after another and by night, the fun continued as we met up with other conference attendees to compare notes, share case studies and business know how. Such a fabulous combination!
The next speaker was Ann Harmon, a distiller from the Pacific North West and owner of Morning Myst Botanicals. I have long appreciated the quality of her hydrolats and after meeting her in person, see why the caliber is so high. Her confidence and love of plants was alluring. She talked about the importance of using organic plant material when distilling, as pesticides and herbicides are water-soluble. I was lucky to not only hear her general lecture, but take the 3 1/2 hour workshop post conference. We enjoyed a wonderful slide presentation of the copper stills in action and played with hydrolats of Lemon Thyme, Helichrysum, Holy Basil, Yarrow and more. Instructions on how to home distill (on the stove-top) were introduced…which I am eager to try! Liz Fulcher, a friend and colleague, recently blogged about these healing waters. Click to check out her informative writings.
Other perks of the event were a wide array of vendors with goods that ranged from distiller direct essential oils, to natural skin care to published author works on the subject of backyard remedies. Old favorites included Aromahead Institute highlighting their Aromatherapy Scholars program. This 400 hour certification is available in person and online and is second to none in comprehensive, holistic essential oil education. Aromatics International flew in from their home base of Montana and exhibited a wide range of GC/MS(Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) essential oils that ranged from Gingergrass to Vintage Patchouli. A new-found supplier was Tunupa, a family owned operation from Brazil. Not only were they charming, the line up of exotic essential oils and carriers from their native country was enough to make any aromatherapist giddy. My top two must haves:
Baru(Dipteryx alata)-from the minute I tried the sample, I knew this liquid carrier was something very special. It immediately penetrated the skin and felt so nourishing (unlike anything that I have tried before). It is also known for:
- High Omega 6, Omega 9 and Vitamins A, B's and E.
- Helpful for rheumatism, arthritis and eczema conditions
- Skin Nourishing
Brazilian Cherry(Eugenia uniflora)-I love wood, especially Cherry. So my curiosity was peaked when I saw this single. Unique in fragrance and known for the following properties:
- Emollient
- Astringent
- Restorative (especially for hair)
- Highly antioxidant potential
The story of Botanica continues with more posts, speaker snippets and insider tips. Stay tuned.
Until next time…
Breathe Joy,

Save the dates
I loved how I could personalize it to my taste/wedding colors.
Wonderful Cards
These truly are beautiful thank you cards. I ordered my wedding invites from here and they also were amazing. I had so many compliments and would recommend this site to anyone!!
I Love it
I really loved how my save-the-dates came out! The colors are true to what I designed online. The only thing I would say that could of been better was the picture wasn't sharp. It came out great and clear, but it wasn't sharp enough for the magnet. But that could of been the picture I choose too.
Beyond expectations
I was very happy with my save-the-date magnets. They looked very classy and beautiful. I was really worried about the photo quality, but Magnetstreet did a fantastic job. I could not be more pleased with my product.
These invitations are beautiful and very well worth your money!
I absolutely love these invitations! I decided to go with the pocket invitations because I liked the organization of the all the information cards for guests and it was a beautiful design. I was able to create the exact invitations I wanted with what color I chose, the style of writing, and adding my own photos. It was easy to create and the shipping was fast! The quality of the paper is excellent in that it is thick so not easily bendable and the printing is very well done. My photos are clear and beautiful, plus it was very easy to insert and size into the program.
