"It's eczema season" is an often repeated phrase for me lately.
This time of year, I always find myself seeing more patients with eczema. The common presenting complaint is a persistent rash that itches so much that it disturbs sleep. The dry, itchy patches of skin are commonly seen on the back, sides of the torso, arms and legs, but can happen almost anywhere. People with a history of allergies, asthma, or childhood eczema are even more likely to develop eczema in the fall or winter.
There are a number of contributing factors to the increased incidence of eczema in the winter:
Furnaces run more, drying out the air inside homes and buildings. We wear more clothing, increasing the friction on our skin. Hot water feels better, so we tend to spend more time in the shower or bath.
That last one sounds counter-intuitive, but ...

ANet used to be so prompt getting the results into nice pretty image format, but are late again, and I don't wanna wait til Thursday again :|
So here:
This will have to do. :D
No idea what happened this past week, but on New Years Eve, Jade Quarry took the lead on Sea of Sorrows while the aussies were either drunk or hungover from New Years and we kind of just kept rolling. I was there when we took the lead, and the points just kept rolling in and rolling in, keeping a steady 500+ tic for quite some time, even holding Stonemist for quite some time, some days even long enough to get the Waypoint up. Go go JQ!
Image from one of JQ's most visable WvW guilds, Emperium, taken a few hours before reset. god i love this image. WP on SoS's three keeps. trololo.
It was a solid week for morale, recruitment and of course bandwagoners, but hey, hopefully we'll get some permanent residents. JQ's always after fresh talent whether one man yak snipers or giant zergs of loot bag generating madness. Join us at JadeQuarry.com As always, any resident JQers interested in our community, get in touch! <3
Mad props to SBI though, you guys didn't roll over and kept us on our toes even in the wee hours and you held StoneMist pretty firm for quite some time.
Outside of Tier 1 US....
Blackgate is creeping closer and closer to tier 1, and Devona's Rest is bounding up the tables a bit more too. In Tier 7, Kaineng is blowing everyone else out of the water, currently 5 times over the other two teams combined. War Machine must be very settled over there now and with the strong force the server already had, they should be coming up the ranks pretty damn fast.
Over in Europe the French of Vizunah are beating back the champions of Seafarer's Rest. And Desolation have jumped up 2 rankings to get to 1st in Tier 2, interested to see what they do over there, personally, as I know a few people over on Desolation.
Aurora Glade no longer on blue and first in their tier this week, though are currently second. Let's see how the week plays for you guys, you sure do yo-yo about a fair bit. Must be some interesting matches down that way.
I always feel sorry for the last 2 tiers of Euro WvW and US too, they're just sort of.... there. Major respect to those fighting the good fight down there though!
Well, here's to another fun week of fighting. When/If ANet get the results up I'll add 'em to this post. Stay classy and remember, if it's red, it's dead. /salute. See ya on the borderlands.
Edit: Remember, WvW is a great place to get the Event participation for this month's monthlies in! Can do it alongside your WvW kills!

In what promises to be the hottest tour of winter 2011, Korn and Disturbed, two of rock's biggest acts, are teaming up to co-headline this year's "Monster Energy Music As A Weapon 5 Tour".
"We are thrilled to launch the Monster Energy Music As A Weapon 5 Tour with our good friends from Korn," says Disturbed's singer David Draiman. "Every year we try to up the ante, and this year, by having Korn co-headline, we really think it's going to be our best tour yet. When the idea first came up, one of the main things both bands agreed upon and wanted to focus on was hitting a lot of smaller markets. It's exciting to bring a show like this to cities that are usually skipped over on some of the other larger rock tours that only hit the major markets. We have a lot of loyal fans in these cities and we wanted to bring them a show that they deserve".
Tickets for the first leg of the tour are set to go on sale the weekend of December 4th. The bands have decided that the first 1000 tickets from each show will be sold at a $5 discount during the on sale weekend in order to reward the early buyers and fans.
"A lot of promoters only offer discounted tickets a day or two before the actual show date. We wanted to do something for the fans that are buying their tickets as soon as they go on sale. To offer a discount upfront made the most sense to us," add Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan.

Tuttle's Game Two Gem Helps Baseball Split with #4 Mount Olive; Snap Trojans 22-Game Win Streak
April 14, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Behind a complete game masterpiece by Bryan Tuttle in game two, Pfeiffer University was able to earn a split with #4 Mount Olive College in Conference Carolinas baseball action on Saturday afternoon. The Trojans improve to 33-7 overall, 19-3 in league play after a 14-4 game one win while the Falcons move to 22-21, 13-10 after a 4-1 victory in the nightcap. The game two win for Pfeiffer snapped Mount Olives 22-game win streak handing the Trojans their first loss since March 10th.
The Trojans got the offense rolling early and often in game one as two in the first on a fielding error and a fielders choice put the visitors up a pair. Pfeiffer would respond in the home half of the second with a Matt Wade RBI-single before he later scored on a Mount Olive error. Both teams would combine for a season-high 10 errors in the game.
After the Trojans grabbed a 3-2 on an Antonio Callaway solo homer to left in the third, the Falcons would immediately get the run back on a Dalton Lindley base hit to right. From there, a Mike Mercurio run-scoring triple started a four-run fifth while a Braden Reitano RBI-double started a five-run seventh. Aarin Sharpe would add one more for the Falcons with a groundout in the home sixth, but Mount Olive would add the five in the seventh and two more in the eighth for the final 14-4 margin.
Reitano finished the opener 2-for-5 with four runs driven in while Matt Dillon pitched a solid eight innings allowing four runs, one earned with five strikeouts. Wade and Sharpe each had a pair of hits for the Falcons.
In game two, Tuttle would dominate the Mount Olive bats behind his complete game allowing one run on four hits while fanning eight Trojans. Tuttle would carry a perfect game into the fifth after recording six strikeouts during the first trip through the visitors lineup.
Wade started game two scoring with a solo blast in the third while Sharpe and Jacob Yates posted back-to-back doubles putting the Falcons up two. Yates would later score on a wild pitch to cap off the three-run third.
Geno Escalante would ruin Tuttles perfect game bid with a leadoff double in the fifth. Three hitters later, Escalante would score the Trojans lone run of game two on a weak groundout to short. Pfeiffer would quickly get that run back in their fifth on a Preston Lyon single to right-center. Ironically, neither team would commit an error in game two after the 10 in game one.
Both teams will square off again on Sunday in the rubber-game of the three-game set at Joe Ferebee Field. First pitch will be at 1:00 p.m. and mark the final home game of the season for the Falcons.

Of the myths in the Torah the universal deluge, or Noah's flood as it is sometimes called, intrigues me. Or more correctly the thought processes of those who believe the universal deluge actually happened intrigue me. Those who believe seem to be fewer and farther between but a recent conversation with one who believes brought this topic to the fore. We also discussed creationism and the 6000 year old earth myths but those are topics for other threads.
The logical problems, as others have stated on this forum, are typically dismissed with the invocation of faith. However, I have found that open discussion often reveals cracks or outright doubts in the minds of those who profess belief. Some of the bigger issues with a global flood are nicely summarized at talkorigins.org and the materials posted there have led to interesting discussions with Jewish and Christian friends. The following seem to be particularly effective at revealing doubts.
"4. Caring for the Animals
Special diets. Many animals, especially insects, require special diets. Koalas, for example, require eucalyptus leaves, and silkworms eat nothing but mulberry leaves. For thousands of plant species (perhaps even most plants), there is at least one animal that eats only that one kind of plant. How did Noah gather all those plants aboard, and where did he put them?
Other animals are strict carnivores, and some of those specialize on certain kinds of foods, such as small mammals, insects, fish, or aquatic invertebrates. How did Noah determine and provide for all those special diets?
Fresh foods. Many animals require their food to be fresh. Many snakes, for example, will eat only live foods (or at least warm and moving). Parasitoid wasps only attack living prey. Most spiders locate their prey by the vibrations it produces. [Foelix, 1996] Most herbivorous insects require fresh food. Aphids, in fact, are physically incapable of sucking from wilted leaves. How did Noah keep all these food supplies fresh?
Food preservation/Pest control. Food spoilage is a major concern on long voyages; it was especially thus before the inventions of canning and refrigeration. The large quantities of food aboard would have invited infestations of any of hundreds of stored product pests (especially since all of those pests would have been aboard), and the humidity one would expect aboard the Ark would have provided an ideal environment for molds. How did Noah keep pests from consuming most of the food?
Ventilation. The ark would need to be well ventilated to disperse the heat, humidity, and waste products (including methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia) from the many thousands of animals which were crowded aboard. Woodmorappe (pp. 37-42) interprets Genesis 6:16 to mean there was an 18-inch opening all around the top, and says that this, with slight breezes, would have been enough to provide adequate ventilation. However, the ark was divided into separate rooms and decks (Gen. 6:14,16). How was fresh air circulated throughout the structure?
Sanitation. The ungulates alone would have produced tons of manure a day. The waste on the lowest deck at least (and possibly the middle deck) could not simply be pushed overboard, since the deck was below the water line; the waste would have to be carried up a deck or two. Vermicomposting could reduce the rate of waste accumulation, but it requires maintenance of its own. How did such a small crew dispose of so much waste?
Exercise/Animal handling. The animals aboard the ark would have been in very poor shape unless they got regular exercise. (Imagine if you had to stay in an area the size of a closet for a year.) How were several thousand diverse kinds of animals exercised regularly?
Manpower for feeding, watering, etc. How did a crew of eight manage a menagerie larger and more diverse than that found in zoos requiring many times that many employees? Woodmorappe claims that eight people could care for 16000 animals, but he makes many unrealistic and invalid assumptions. Here are a few things he didn't take into account:
* Feeding the animals would take much longer if the food was in containers to protect it from pests.
* Many animals would have to be hand-fed.
* Watering several animals at once via troughs would not work aboard a ship. The water would be sloshed out by the ship's roll.
* Many animals, in such an artificial environment, would have required additional special care. For example, all of the hoofed animals would need to have their hooves trimmed several times during the year. [Batten, 1976, pp. 39-42]
* Not all manure could be simply pushed overboard; a third of it at least would have to be carried up at least one deck.
* Corpses of the dead animals would have to be removed regularly.
* Animals can't be expected to run laps and return to their cages without a lot of human supervision.

"7. Producing the Geological Record
Most people who believe in a global flood also believe that the flood was responsible for creating all fossil-bearing strata. (The alternative, that the strata were laid down slowly and thus represent a time sequence of several generations at least, would prove that some kind of evolutionary process occurred.) However, there is a great deal of contrary evidence.
Before you argue that fossil evidence was dated and interpreted to meet evolutionary assumptions, remember that the geological column and the relative dates therein were laid out by people who believed divine creation, before Darwin even formulated his theory. (See, for example, Moore [1973], or the closing pages of Dawson [1868].)
Why are geological eras consistent worldwide? How do you explain worldwide agreement between "apparent" geological eras and several different (independent) radiometric and nonradiometric dating methods? [e.g., Short et al, 1991]
How was the fossil record sorted in an order convenient for evolution? Ecological zonation, hydrodynamic sorting, and differential escape fail to explain:
* the extremely good sorting observed. Why didn't at least one dinosaur make it to the high ground with the elephants?
* the relative positions of plants and other non-motile life. (Yun, 1989, describes beautifully preserved algae from Late Precambrian sediments. Why don't any modern-looking plants appear that low in the geological column?)
* why some groups of organisms, such as mollusks, are found in many geologic strata.
* why organisms (such as brachiopods) which are very similar hydrodynamically (all nearly the same size, shape, and weight) are still perfectly sorted.
* why extinct animals which lived in the same niches as present animals didn't survive as well. Why did no pterodons make it to high ground?
* how coral reefs hundreds of feet thick and miles long were preserved intact with other fossils below them.
* why small organisms dominate the lower strata, whereas fluid mechanics says they would sink slower and thus end up in upper strata.
* why artifacts such as footprints and burrows are also sorted. [Crimes & Droser, 1992]
* why no human artifacts are found except in the very uppermost strata. If, at the time of the Flood, the earth was overpopulated by people with technology for shipbuilding, why were none of their tools or buildings mixed with trilobite or dinosaur fossils?
* why different parts of the same organisms are sorted together. Pollen and spores are found in association with the trunks, leaves, branches, and roots produced by the same plants [Stewart, 1983].
* why ecological information is consistent within but not between layers. Fossil pollen is one of the more important indicators of different levels of strata. Each plant has different and distinct pollen, and, by telling which plants produced the fossil pollen, it is easy to see what the climate was like in different strata. Was the pollen hydraulically sorted by the flood water so that the climatic evidence is different for each layer?"

I'm a fan of the new fougeres. I remember my fascination as a kid when I first smelled dad's bottles of Paco and Azzaro. IB, 1725, and Sartorial evolve and modernize the concept of the fougere.
I own all 3, and have worn them enough to be able to contrast their traits.
1725: This was the first one I bought. I remember saying at the time that 1725 is the love child of L'Eau dHiver, and Taste of Heaven. If you don't like powdery, skip it. I for one very much enjoy its soft nature, and the way it seamlessy merges oriental accords in a fougere. More of an evening fragrance for me, and I'd be happier to wear it in the cooler months.
Sartorial: The conservative packaging, and dandy marketing is a misnomer. This is the most modern of the 3, I find it to be very edgy. There's an ozonic, metallic heart, that I find cold and industrial. I struggled with this facet for a time, but find it is better when I apply less. The overall experience is fantastic, and this one can be worn in any occasion, or season.
Invasion Barbare: Am I saving the best for last? IB is the most complex of the lot IMHO. Beautifully blended, and the most classically inspired of the 3. It is easy to link IB with the 70s fougere classics. It is of course sweeter, and not animalic, as you'd expect of a modern fougere. There is so much richness to be enjoyed in the opening, the cardamom-violet-lavender have been seamlessy blended. Amazing. It get's sweeter in the heart, but not powdery. I couldn't see myself wearing anything else in a formal occasion.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
Have 1725 and have tried Invasion Barbare several times and like them both.
I'm a big fan too and have all three of these.
I find Satorial and IB quite similar though Satorial has, to me, a slightly darker feel to it and the beeswax gives it more warmth. 1725 is also superb. When I need to dress smart these guys are on the front line for me.
Every once in a while though I feel I have to break out the big guns with Azzaro or Rive gauche to give me a bit more 'rough'

I have smelled all three. My favorite is IB then 1725 then Sartorial. IB is indeed gorgeous. I love most especially the opening and the basenotes. Invasion Barbare is indeed a modern fougere. Sartorial on the other hand, almost has an old school barbershop vibe.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
I couldn't wrap my nose around IB. Sartorial I love. I find it a very warm scent. I guess the beeswax over rides the metallic notes to me. But as I think about, I am mentally recognizing the metallic notes. Interesting.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
I agree with your description of Sartorial other than the 'modern' part...it felt very old school to me (but really nice, and well done).
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get much better than IB. It evolves so much, and each stage is truly beautiful.
1725 I have not tried.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.

1725 is a favourite and I do intend to buy Invasion Barbare next time I get around to putting order in with LS.
It's interesting to hear how different people have responded to the image of Sartorial. I saw all the Duchaufor sniffing his way round a cutting room hype and approached it with extreme caution, to be honest - just sounded like a gimmick to me. I have tried it half a dozen times and of the three it's the one I can't connect with it all.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
Yup - mr. predictable
Just wondering if Nicolai Pour Homme enters into this general area for any of you guys? It's not as 'modern' but I don't see it as straight up old school, either.
I've a soft spot for Nicolai pour Homme and don't consider it stodgy in any way. My only criticism would be that there are times when the lavender becomes a bit too mentholated, harsh? Not a good word for it.
Interesting that it didn't come to mind, one of the beauties I often overlook.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
IB, IB and IB!
IMO Sartorial has both an old-school vibe and a modern feel. It's like Duchafour took an original formula and digitally "remixed" it. Sort of cold, a times aseptic, yet incredibly likeable. A fougere for androids.
1725 is a personal favorite. I perceive it as a sort of high definition picture of a Menardo's creation. Extremely detailed and refined.
IB has been on my test list from a while but haven't had yet the chance to test it...arrrgh.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
I have a bottle of both 1725 and Sartorial and a decant of IB on the way. I'm sure you're well aware of how much I am loving this genre at the moment.
I think my favourite might actually be 1725, it is really magical, warm, sweet and very inviting. I really like the powder on this one and find it easily the most wearable of the three for a 22 year old.
Sartorial is everything one might expect from a new-age fougere by Penhaligon's. It is a great release, I particularly like how this one consistently references the old-skool fougeres. It comes off as a bit sharp in the top notes at first which was a little off-putting to me to begin with, once these are settled they work well with the heart and base. I'd say this one would probably be the most polarising of the three, I think people are either going to love it or hate it, I can imagine this may become grating to some people.
I'm still waiting for my IB decant. I remember being extremely disappointed by this one at first. I could just smell a better version of Le Male (I know, I know). Luckily for me (unluckily for my wallet) the classic fougere undertones appeared shortly after and were literally breathtaking. I remember literally standing up from my seat with my mouth open in amazement. IB is a masterpiece and as close to a holy-grail as I have come.
EDIT: Yes, I said that 1725 was my favourite. Then I said that IB was my holy-grail. I am deeply in love with both of these fragrances All three are worth owning in my opinion.
Thanks Boosh.
We agree Sartorial is surely the most love/hate proposition of the 3. I was very skeptical about its coldness, but I can deal with it now. In my mind its very atypical for a Pens, so I needed to adjust my view of it.
1725 is a charmer, so smooth in every way. IB, well I think it is very well placed to become a future classic.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
I have yet to smell Sartorial but I wear the other 2. 1725 is indeed warm & kinda fuzzy which makes it a natural charmer. Invasion Barbare has a mildly astringent, laundered vibe about it which gives it a cleaner, more modern feel. I suppose if 1725 is smooth-talking Casanova, then IB must be the impeccably groomed Agent 007 himself.
I need to test all of these, you've all made them sound so interesting and wonderful. Are there any other scents that are similar to these three?
As of today I won all three of these gems. (Thx Kevin for Sartorial) .... IB being my favorite. Im going to wear Sartorial today but all of these are very different. I suppose they should be in the category but so different.
Modern fougeres?
I enjoy all three but find only Sartorial bottle-worthy. I can't afford IB.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
All three are great, but IB is the only nugére I need. It really is wonderful.
1725 for those days when you put on the fancy waistcoat, but that is infrequently for me these days! Sartorial is also very good.
Sans parfum, la peau est muette.
How would you rate Lumier Noir PH against 1725 and Sartorial (since you haven't tested IB yet)?
note: consider that I'm hyper-sensitive to rose. A small amount can smell like a soliflore to me LOL
My ranking would be IB, 1725, and distant last Sartorial. I dislike Sartorial because to me is smells clean modern metallic, a genre I hate. I can see it's the best clean modern metallic around, and intelligently weaved around a fougere structure rather than a sharp citrusy nonentity, and the warm clothes/warm iron tailor atmosphere is fun and realistic. It's also good that Penhaligon is trying to move out of its usual uninspiring style. But still, not my thing. IB is wonderfully rich and fuzzy, to me almost more a woody-spicy than a fougere. 1725 is very classic and fresher.
I also agree that Lumiere ph is in the set. I like it but I'm not a enough of a fan for a bottle. Unlike alpharom, I actually think that the rose is too subdued and the patchouli too prominent (though it's not a strong patchouli). It has a dusty and subdued feel, calm in the manner of most of Kurkdjian's scents. In the masculine spicy rose department, I prefer 1876, Cabaret (which is more rosy), or some of the Rosine iterations (eg Rose d'homme).
I get an old school vibe from Sartoriale also but not in a negative way though. I own and love 1725. It lasts a long time but the projection is moderate.
For those that have tried IB, how well does it project and last - especially compared to 1725. I need to get a sample of this soon.
Thanks all for your comments and thoughts. This thread will be a good resource for fragheads in the future.
It never occurred to me to include Lumiere Noir in the group. I own a full bottle and wouldn't place it as a fougere.
To answer dmarino's question about IB's projection and longevity, I'd have to say that its on par with 1725 i.e. great longevity with moderate projection.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
Also check out Versace Black Jeans... It's discontinued but not hard to find... and very inexpensive, it's a great deal for the $. The drydown is very similar to IB, but w/o the cardamon, which is a good thing IMO.
I love Invasion Barbare. I'm living in Japan right now and for whatever reason I didn't bring it with me. It's the fragrance I miss the most from my collection and the closest thing to a holy grail that I've found. Mind you, it's not that it's the best fragrance I've ever smelled, but more that it just clicks so well with me.
Sales thread here
Sorry to bump an old thread, but having recently tested all 3 of these scents,
I felt it might be useful to share some of my experiences with anyone thinking
of trying these scents.
I think all three obviously share a lot in common. However, I think each scent
is unique enough in its own way to warrant a place in your wardrobe.
If I had to rank them, I would give top honors to Invasion Barbare, by a pretty clear
margin, although 1725 would be a close 2nd. In terms of longevity, projection, overall
smell and price, I would rank them:
1--Invasion Barbare (10 to 12 hours)
2--HdP 1725 (8 to 10 hours)
3--Sartorial (5 to 7 hours)
1--Invasion Barbare
Overall smell
1--Invasion Barbare
Price point
1--Sartorial--1.7oz for $75
2--1725--2.0oz for $125
3--Invasion Barbare--2.0oz for $250
Overall ranking:
1--Invasion Barbare 10/10 (in spite of its price)
2--1725 9/10
3--Sartorial 8.5/10
I will say this also...I sampled 1725 after sampling Invasion Barbare.
If price is important, and for most of us it is, I would tell those on a tight
budget to go with 1725 if the Invasion Barbare is too dear.
Invasion Barbare is still the clear winner to me, but 1725 is very close.
If I had sampled 1725 first, who knows? Maybe I would prefer it to IB, but
I doubt it.
Sartorial is an excellent fragrance in its own right. The only reason it's
not right up there with the other 2 for me is due to its sketchy longevity and
projection on my skin. Others may have better luck, obviously, and Sartorial
is also an EDT whereas IB and 1725 are EDP's. I also find Sartorial's development
and drydown more linear and uninteresting than the other two.
Three excellent "nu-geres." You can't go wrong with any of them really.
If you love this genre, I'd highly recommend getting small spray decants of
all 3 and see which you like best.
Sartorial is complex in the opening but loses it in the basenotes and becomes like a lot of fragrances with a sweet woody base. Invasion Barbare is sheer quality and really well balanced and I like how the violet note constantly weaves in and out of the sent even when the woods appear you can detect it.
1725 opens with a lemony grapefruit fresh spicyness with a touch of licorice and it drysdown to a soft vanille base. Its a simple fragrance done to perfection.
Out of the three Invasion Barbare is the superior fragrance as the sheer quality and complexity just shines through. All though are worthy.

I ran across this Yahoo article, didn't see the broadcast, but still. . . . . wtf is she thinking?
Per S.E. Cupp (a perported atheist): "I like religion being a check and knowing that my president goes home every night addressing someone above him and not thinking all the power resides right here… Atheists don't have that."
Does that statement make sense coming from a person who supposedly does not believe there is anyone "above him" to address? She's saying it's better/safer to have a leader who ascribes to myth. Do you agree?
Honestly, when I first spotted the headline of the article, I assumed her position was going to be that it's safer to have a religious leader due to the fact that we deal with so many other religious leaders, or something along those lines. . . but this?
p.s. Warm greetings to all my old pals on the forum : )

The emotional story of Passion Waiters was one of many among this year's Lenoir County Early College High School graduating class.
Thirty-eight students earned their high school diplomas Thursday, with 26 of them receiving associate's degrees because of the unique set-up of the school's five-year program.
Nearly half of the 2013 graduating class did so with academic distinction.
But the scholastic deeds of Waiters have a dual meaning for the first-generation high school graduate.
"I do all of this to help my mom one day," said Waiters of her high academic achievements, including a 3.68 grade point average. "That's my No. 1 goal. She didn't graduate from high school, and plus she was a single parent."
Waiters, 19, was raised in Kinston's housing projects and said her background influenced her behavior in school and the community. She is active in her church, volunteers with outreach programs and was ranked No. 6 in her class.
"I want to do something big and show people that even though you come from the projects, you don't have to be another stereotype," said Waiters with her charmingly stridentvoice. "I don't think it was as tough as me for other people because my family is very supportive."
She said she is one of the youngest among her cousins, which draws high demands from her relatives.
"They pressure me a lot, but it's good pressure," Waiters said. "Not a lot of people in my family went to college."
The new graduate will attend North Carolina A&T to study industrial engineering, as her favorite subjects are math and science. Coming from a military family, Waiters considered joining the U.S. Navy to work on nuclear missiles but was instead pushed to pursue a degree.
"(There are) not a lot of African-American women that do engineering," she said. "I know sometimes they feel inferior, so I'm going to take that challenge."
The entire LCECHS campus, housed at Lenoir Community College, made it to graduation with somewhat of its own bump in the road, which some 38 Early College graduates rolled over smoothly.
Former principal Jason Miller took a job at LCC's Greene County campus in April, and the district replaced him with Rochelle Middle Principal Nicholas Harvey II. Pam Heath, a former assistant principal of North Lenoir High School, served as the interim for the remainder of the year.
She said her short time with the 169 Early College students this year was a unique experience.
"It's really exciting," Health said about the graduates. "These 38 graduates are so dedicated, so devoted. It is like a family here, it's so small."
She added, "Passion is just one of the 38 that has a special story to tell; they all really have special stories to tell."
Heath said she watched Waiters search tirelessly for scholarships the past couple of months, and she joked the Ronald McDonald House Charities Scholarship winner was in the school counselor's office more than Karen Roddy, the actual counselor.
Roddy revisited Waiters' 2009 application to the school and said it expressed the same "focus and determination" Waiters had the day of graduation.
"Passion is very focused on her future," Roddy stated. "Having worked closely with Passion, I know she is a total optimist. She doesn't see run-down homes in her neighborhood, she sees a community of nice neighbors."
Roddy said because tight-knit schools solves problems in a unified group, each of the Early College graduates had a successful mindset going into graduation, including Waiters.
"I think this school is the absolute best," Waiters exclaimed Thursday just hours before crossing the stage. "No matter where you come from, what your background is or what your social status is, you can always be something great."

Many, if not most, have witnessed the solemnity with which a fallen first responder or military member has been laid to rest at the hands of a white-gloved honor guard.
Being part of an honor guard is what the name implies — an honor. And in order to perform the duty with utmost dignity, the honor guard's movements must be precise and uniforms in tip-top shape.
The latter was becoming a problem for the Burlington Fire Department Honor Guard, whose 15 members had to swap portions of their uniforms to ensure members performing services were perfectly dressed.
"I've been in Honor Guard 12 years now, and they were issued to us then," said Capt. Anthony Davis. "They're getting old and worn."
"Based on the different sizes of people, there wouldn't be enough," said Engineer Adam Dixon, who's been on the Honor Guard for a year. "Somebody may have to borrow somebody's jacket or someone's hat."
The Burlington Fire Department Retirees Association found out about the problem and stepped in to help pay for the uniforms, which cost about $700 to $750 for each full set.
This month, retired Battalion Chief Ed Carroll presented a check for $5,200 to Fire Chief Jay Smith to buy new Honor Guard uniforms on behalf of the Retirees Association, which raised the money in July by hosting a golf tournament.
"We've been to so many funerals of the guys who've retired," said Carroll, who chaired the tournament at Quaker Creek Golf Course. He and the other retirees learned about the worn uniforms at one of the association's monthly breakfast meetings, and decided to do something about it.
Retired Capt. Kenneth Dixon heads the Retirees Association and likes to keep the retired firefighters engaged with what's currently going on with the fire department. He customarily brings in speakers from the Burlington Fire Department to keep the retirees connected.
At one of those breakfast meetings, Engineer Chuck Loy, head of the Burlington Fire Department Honor Guard, spoke to the retirees about their rights to a free Honor Guard service when they pass away. He also mentioned the worn uniforms.
Kenneth Dixon said when budget time rolls around, city money allocated to the fire department is reserved for general operations, and not for programs like the Honor Guard.
"Now all money for that program has been cut," he said.
That's where the idea for a golf tournament began.
"We had an awesome response from the community," Kenneth Dixon said. "It was a tremendous outpouring."
THAT OUTPOURINGcame because the community recognized the dedication given by the 15 men in Burlington who mark an otherwise somber event with the dignity it deserves. Several of them have retired firefighters as fathers.
"There's four of us on the Honor Guard that are second-generation," Loy said.
That includes Davis and Adam Dixon, whose father is Kenneth Dixon.
"My dad was on the original Honor Guard when it was first formed," in the late 1980s, Davis said.
Adam Dixon said he, too, was inspired by his father, whose own father-in-law — Adam's grandfather — was a captain with Graham Fire Department and got him interested in fire services.
"I take a lot of honor and a lot of pride in my job — for one, being second generation here … (and) because of my grandfather starting the whole tradition in our family," Adam Dixon said.
A firefighter really has to want to be on the Honor Guard and to commit to it when chosen.
"There's pretty much a waiting line for people that want to get on," Davis said.
"I was on the waiting list for three-plus years," Adam Dixon added.
Interested firefighters inform Loy of their intent. He puts them on a list that fluctuates based on who decides to stick with it or drop out of the volunteer program.
Davis said the Honor Guard meets and practices movements or "cadences" each month, save for the summer months, so they're ready for the city's annual holiday parade, the Relay for Life event each year, and the funerals, which can't be predicted.
"A lot of times, over half these guys might be on duty," Loy said. So when a funeral arises, he rounds up as many of the off-duty Honor Guard members that he can to present the colors.
"They're all military-type movements that we do," Davis said.
AT EACHretired firefighter's funeral, Loy initiates the cadences with, "Honor Guard, prepare colors," at which point the American flag is removed from the casket. The Honor Guard folds the flag, then presents it to the fire chief to inspect before delivering it to the deceased's family members.
"There's a whole lot of responsibility on those guys," Adam Dixon said. "Everybody's watching you. Everybody's watching your movements."
And it's important for those movements to be executed well for the flag to be folded tightly, Loy said. "You want it to be the last time that flag's ever folded," so the family has but to frame it, he said.
Davis said that a sense of pride and "job well done" spurred him to sign up for the Honor Guard. It's another way he can serve as a firefighter.
And whether they're told or not, those who serve by presenting the colors and standing guard at a casket make a huge difference in the lives of retired or fallen firefighters, Kenneth Dixon said.
"They stand guard … during the entire visitation," he said. "Honor Guard is a big part of the families that have lost a retired or current firefighter."
The importance of the duty was impressed on Adam Dixon in April during a funeral for retired firefighter Mike Brown.
"I had one guy tell me … 'I want you guys standing beside my casket when I die,'" Adam Dixon said. "Pretty powerful, there."

4/16/14 Miley Hospitalized
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
MILEY CYRUS was hospitalized yesterday in Kansas City due to a severe allergic reaction to some kind of medication. She had to cancel a gig at the city's Sprint Center because of it. I'm sure your first thought was that it was some kind of non-prescription "medication". But remember, Miley had to cancel a show due to the flu last week, and a source says she's been battling major throat and sinus issues.
ROSIE O'DONNELL is NOT a fan of LINDSAY LOHAN'S new reality show. She Tweeted, quote, "The Lindsay show is a tragedy . . . on every level. I hope one day she gets sober for real and watches these episodes, and sees what we all do."
Dina Lohan pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and speeding in court on Long Island, New York yesterday. The mother of LiLo will be sentenced on June 3rd and she is expected to be sentenced to 100 hours of community service. Sources also say that she is expected to have her license revoked and to be required to have an interlock device installed on her vehicle.
4/15/14 LiLo Drinking Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
ALEXA RAY JOEL . . . the daughter of BILLY JOEL and CHRISTIE BRINKLEY . . . collapsed onstage during a performance on Saturday at the Cafe Carlyle in New York City. She was rushed to the hospital, where she did not die. She was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope . . . which is a condition that blocks blood flow to the brain and causes fainting. No treatment is required for it.
Miley Cyrus is still having a hard time adjusting to life without her beloved dog Floyd. Miley's mom surprised her daughter with a new puppy to replace the Alaskan Klee Kai, who died earlier this month. But cute little Moonie wasn't enough to heal Miley's broken heart -- so she gave the pup away.
Last week, Selena Gomez fired her mother and step-father from managing her career. Now, her parents say they had no idea that they had been fired as her managers until TMZ broke the story last week. Selena's mom Mandy Teefey, along with Selena's step-dad, had managed her career since her days with Disney and says she was taken by surprise at the announcement. Selena has opted to go with a more seasoned and better-known manager to direct her career.
Lindsay Lohan was spotted drinking alcohol at Coachella over the weekend. Witnesses say LiLo looked completely out of it as she partied with sister Ali. One witness said she couldn't stand up straight as she was chain smoking cigarettes. It's been eight months since Lohan left rehab and she claims she is doing really good.
7/14/14 What People Earned List
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, April 14, 2014
KATE UPTON wishes she had smaller boobs . . . quote, "I love to wear spaghetti tops braless or go for the smallest bikini designs . . . If I could just take them off like they were clip-ons. Every single day, I'm like, 'Oh, man, it would be so much easier,' especially if people didn't constantly bring them up." But she adds, quote, "The grass is always greener, as they say."
There have been rumors that a JUSTIN BIEBER / SELENA GOMEZ sex tape may exist . . . and even if it does, PornHub.com doesn't want it, because they're sick of Justin's punk behavior. (???) The company says, quote, "We just don't approve of all of Bieber's gross behavior . . . [he's] being a real jerk."
"Parade" magazine has released its annual "What People Earn" rundown . . . and apparently, MILEY CYRUS' sleazy, over-the-top demonstration of how she's no longer a Disney kid is REALLY paying off. "Parade" revealed that she pulled down $76.5 MILLION for slutting it up last year. That's more than the $63 million JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE raked in throughout his two-album comeback. Here are some other highlights from the report:
Beyoncé made $57 million in 2013 . . . a year that, for her, culminated in the release of a surprise album.
Bruno Mars earned $38 million in the run-up to his halftime performance at the Super Bowl. Bruno wasn't paid for the Super Bowl . . . halftime performers never are.
Sandra Bullock made $63 million with the help of her two latest movies, "The Heat" and "Gravity". And Matthew McConaughey, who has been everywhere, earned $19 million.
Reviled "Bachelor" Juan Pablo Galavis made $150,000.
Daniel Radcliffe made $17 million, which includes his paycheck for the upcoming "Frankenstein" movie. Daniel is playing Igor. The movie has already been filmed, but it won't come out until October of NEXT year.
Steve Harvey raked in $30 million. That includes his talk show and his "Family Feud" hosting gig.
Tyler Perry earned $78 million . . . and believe it or not, "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James somehow made an estimated $51.7 million.
GISELE BUNDCHEN says the "Forbes" lists of the World's Highest-Paid Models got her in trouble with the IRS. She says, quote, "The people who write these things don't have my bank account details.

4/11/14 Stars We Love to Hate

CBS didn't waste any time in announcing DAVID LETTERMAN'S replacement. STEPHEN COLBERT will take over "The Late Show" sometime next year, although there's no specific timetable yet. CBS also confirmed that Stephen is dropping the super conservative character he plays on "The Colbert Report".
CRAIG FERGUSON is welcoming STEPHEN COLBERT to CBS, even though he probably wanted to be DAVID LETTERMAN'S successor. However, there's speculation that Craig had a clause in his contract that awarded him a payout of at least $5 MILLION if he wasn't given "The Late Show".
According to a new British survey, men want a woman with Megan Fox's face and Kim Kardashian's boobs. But women would rather have Cara Delevingne's face and Jennifer Aniston's boobs. –No shocker there!
"Life & Style" magazine put together a list of stars we LOVE TO HATE, and I think they mostly nailed it. They chose Katherine Heigl, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mel Gibson, Anne Hathaway, Gisele Bundchen, Alec Baldwin and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Selena Gomez has fired her parents, who've been managing her career since she scored it big on the Disney channel. TMZ says Selena gave her mother and her stepfather the axe last month, because "she believes she's now old enough -- and famous enough -- to have a seasoned professional manager with other A-list clients."
4/10/14 Amber Heard Pregnant?

SHIA LABEOUF did a good deed this week, when he left a restaurant to give a homeless guy in a wheelchair some lunch. A "source" says Shia shook his hand, said 'God bless you,' and came back to finish his food.
AMANDA BYNES seemed OUT OF HER MIND for a while, but apparently her insanity is a thing of the past . . . or so her people would have you believe. Her lawyer says Amanda hasn't commented about what's going on with her, because she wants to, quote, "keep her mental health diagnosis private." She adds, quote, "However, Amanda asked me to dispel certain rumors. For the record, she does not have schizophrenia, nor has she ever been diagnosed with it. Amanda currently is on zero medication. She has never had a history of abusing alcohol or hard drugs, and she's proud to say she's been marijuana-free for the past nine months."
LINDSAY LOHAN was on "Letterman" last night . . . and during her interview, she and Dave prank called OPRAH WINFREY. It wasn't much of a "prank call," but Dave did pretend to be Lindsay's secretary at first. It's unclear how much of it was planned, but Oprah DID seem surprised. When Dave asked Oprah how Lindsay was doing, she didn't have a ringing endorsement. She said, quote, "I think she's doing really OK . . .
Coldplay's Chris Martin thinks his estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow is spreading cheating rumors about him. A source told RadarOnline: "Chris now believes that Gwyneth is leaking rumors about his alleged trysts in an effort to smear his image and make him look less sympathetic. Gwyn is so angry that she's threatening to turn the divorce ugly, saying she's going to squeeze spousal support out of Chris, despite her multi-million dollar fortune." The couple is worth $280 million but the source says Gwyneth could take Chris for an extra $25 million!
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp recently confirmed their engagement, and according to the actress' ex-boyfriend.... she is expecting her first child. Her ex, actor Mark Wystrach, said, "She's pregnant already! I saw her three weeks ago. Amber and I dated years ago but we are still close." This would be the first child for 27-year-old Amber while 50-year-old Depp has a 14-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son with his former partner, Vanessa Paradis.

"Latinum" as short for "gold pressed latinum" is acceptible. As in the Fortieth Rule of Acquisition: "She can touch your lobes but never your latinum".
Latinum is encased in the gold. The gold is actually pretty worthless in the Star Trek Universe. It's just a container.

There's also the fact that pure latinum is a liquid, which makes it somewhat inconvenient to handle. Suspending it in gold makes it handier and easy to split into predefined amounts (slips, strips, bars and bricks).

Then again, I live in such a world today -- I'm on disability. My needs are taken care of without working, but I have the option of earning up to $200 a month without penalty for perks and spending money. Maybe Star Trek isn't so much fantasy after all, at least in Canada.

OXFORD, Ohio - Zac Dysert crossed the 12,000-yard plateau for career passing and Dawan Scott registered his fourth career 100-yard receiving game, but Miami fell, 31-24 to Ball State Friday afternoon in the 2012 season finale.
Dysert, one of 25 seniors who played in their final collegiate games, finished his career as the 20th-ranked passer in NCAA history with 12,013 yards. He also holds the school-record for most career passing yards and total yards, as he moved by Ben Roethlisberger earlier this season. Dysert trails only Central Michigan's Dan LeFevour on the MAC's all-time passing list.
The RedHawks (4-8, 3-5) attempted a late comeback, as freshman running back Jamire Westbrook scored on a Dysert 10-yard shovel pass with 8:14 to go. Kaleb Patterson's 23-yard field goal made it 31-24, but the Cardinals (9-3, 6-2 MAC) recovered a fumbled punt by Andy Cruse with 24 seconds left to seal the win.
Dysert finished the game completing 26-of-40 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns. He found a wide-open Dawan Scott down the middle on a 31-yard strike late in the second to go into the break down 21-14.
Scott, who had nine catches for 120 yards, also scored Miami's other first-half touchdown on a 3-yard run off the right tackle out of the wildcat formation with 2:16 left in the first. Scott's 100-yard day was his second of the season.
Ball State leaned on running back Jahwan Edwards, who finished with three touchdowns on 18 carries for 100 yards. The sophomore scored two first-half touchdowns on runs of five and two yards, and put the visitor's up 28-14 with a 17-yard score in the third.
The Cardinals, who were playing without injured starting quarterback Keith Wenning, turned to backup Kelly Page. The senior replacement threw for 137 yards on 11-of-21 passing before sustaining an injury with 9:48 to go in the third. BSU fished the game with freshman walk-on Kyle Kamman under center. He only attempted one pass, which fell incomplete.
Ball State's Steven Schott kicked a 27-yard field goal at the 1:56 mark in the third to go up three scores.

RALEIGH — State prosecutors used their closing argument in the murder trial of Grant Hayes to paint him — as ex-girlfriend Laura Ackerson called him — as a sociopath who wanted to erase Ackerson's existence when he's alleged to have killed her on July 13, 2011.
Assistant District Attorney Boz Zellinger graphically described the grisly method used to dispose of Ackerson's body and Hayes' view of Ackerson before and after her death.
"To be sliced apart, and then acid poured on you, and then left to rot in a Texas creek. It's hard to get past the depravity of the situation," Zellinger said. "And the reason everything that happened after the murder was so important is because it tells you why who committed this crime."
He continued, "Someone who takes someone's severed head and puts it in a hog pen and pours acid on it. Would that be the person who committed this murder, or would it be someone else in this apartment?"
Zellinger said one of the songs Hayes wrote before Ackerson's death, "Broomstick Rider," is evidence of premeditation to murder her.
"The wretchedness in this case could only have been performed by one person," Zellinger said. "A person who wrote a song about killing the mother of his children."
Part of the song's lyrics go, "You must have told your attorney I got intentions on killing you. What? … Might stop me, but my bullets will get you soon. I've got my goons from way back. They still owe me money, told them you stayed at my mom's crib. Now ain't that funny?"
Ackerson stayed with Hayes' mother in Kinston after their relationship ended.
Zellinger also showed the jury the power saw Hayes used to dismember Ackerson's body, and said he operated in a deliberate manner, to the point of going to a Walmart after 2 a.m. to find longer blades.
Zellinger said jurors can find Grant Hayes guilty if they believe he murdered Ackerson without assistance, or if the Hayes couple worked in concert in the crime.
Hayes attorney Jeff Cutler told the jury the decision to transport Ackerson's body to Texas and dispose of her remains in a creek near his wife Amanda's sister's house showed Amanda Hayes was calling the shots.
"It doesn't make sense for Grant Hayes — if he had killed Laura Ackerson, would it make sense that he would decide, 'You know what we're going to do? We're going to see relatives I never met before,' " Cutler said. "That makes no sense."
He added, "That's something Amanda would say."
Cutler described several aspects of the crime that would be part of "a really bad plan" had Grant Hayes asked Ackerson to his apartment with the intention of killing her.
Cutler also brought up that Amanda Hayes' sister, Karen Berry, told the court that when questioned, Amanda told her that she had hurt Ackerson.
Friday morning, Berry finished her testimony in the case that while Amanda Hayes told her that, she did it in the presence of Grant Hayes. Later, when the two were alone, Berry said Amanda Hayes nodded her head, indicating she was covering up for Grant Hayes.
While not saying Berry sought not to implicate her sister, Cutler mentioned how Berry told police she didn't want to have to testify against Amanda Hayes.
The defense's last witness before closing arguments was Raleigh Police Department Detective Jerry Faulk, who read aloud from multiple emails in which Grant Hayes and Ackerson were friendly about custody arrangements for their two children, and the number of times Ackerson would pick up the children at Grant Hayes' apartment, along with mid-week visits.
Some of Ackerson's friends testified that picking up the children at Grant Hayes' residence and going to Raleigh in the middle of the week were unusual for Ackerson.
As the case goes to the jury, Judge Donald Stephens instructed jurors they can return with a verdict of guilty of first-degree murder, guilty of second-degree murder or not guilty.
Second-degree murder comes with a sentence of 12 years in prison to life without parole, while a first-degree murder conviction would result in life in prison without parole, only. The state declined to seek a death sentence.
Jurors begin deliberations at 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Wake County Justice Center.

You are not bothering me and you have the same questions that a lot of people ask. Many go to church but never investigated the "why" of their faith. So it is good to search. Remember that the bible says "seek and you shall find," "knock and the door will be opened."
It also says anyone who trusts in Jesus will not be disappointed. You may ask, how is that possible, what about the Christians fed to the lions (worst case scenario). I suspect they were given an outpouring of grace to go through the experience, something that cannot be explained, only felt.
I'll try to get you your answers tonight or tomorrow. Just am busy-busy. But happen you dropped in.
