In what was a back-and-forth sectional final featuring a pair of first-year coaches, the Northside girls' basketball team came up just short in its quest to advance to the East Regionals next week in Fayetteville.
The second-seeded Monarchs fell to No. 11 Graham 55-48 on Friday night in the NCHSAA 2-A sectional final.
Northside ended 24-5 after the loss to the Red Devils, who are better than what their seeding and their 19-10 overall record would indicate.
"What do you say to your team after a game like that?" Northside first-year coach Chad Novelli said. "You love them and you are proud of them. You acknowledge the girls that had great careers here. There is nothing really else to say."
Both teams traded runs throughout the game, but it was a final spurt by Graham that allowed the Red Devils to emerge victorious.
With 2:34 left to play, Graham's Brie Snipes made a 3-pointer from NBA range to tie the game at 46-46. One minute later, she gave her team the lead at 48-46 on a short jumper from the baseline.
"Brie is a good shooter and a good leader and when I looked in her eyes after that, I knew I was going to call her number again," Graham first-year coach Melinda Goodson said.
After Northside's Ashanti Curry tied the game with a pair of free throws, Goodson called Snipes' number one more time.
Snipes made an open 3-pointer from the corner with 1:22 left to give the Red Devils the lead for good at 51-48.
"I said Brie, 'I am coming right back to you' and I told her that the play we were going to run, she just needed to shoot," Goodson said.
Snipes had earlier injured her ankle before coming through in the clutch.
"When I got hurt earlier in the game, I told myself that I have to push through it," Snipes said. "My team pushed through when I was getting fixed up and when I got back in and coach called the play, I knew I had to hit it. When it went through I was like 'Yes.'"
Trailing late, a defensive miscommunication by Northside allowed Graham to burn 40 of the last 55 seconds left in the game. The Red Devils then made four free throws in the final 15 seconds to secure the win.
"I certainly know I would have done a few things differently. I'll take that one on the chin, not my team," Novelli said. "They have nothing to be ashamed of and they should be so proud of themselves. It was such an honor to work with them this year."
It did not look good for Northside early as Snipes buried two three-pointers to start the game, which allowed her team to take an 11-2 lead.
The Monarchs struggled to find a scoring option early as the team was 0 of 5 from beyond the three-point line until Curry got hot for Northside.
Curry finished with 21 points and 8 rebounds. She scored 9 points in the first quarter.
Curry, who reached the 1,000-point milestone in the game, would continue her dominance throughout the second quarter. She scored on a layup after a steal to cap an 8-0 run that gave the Monarchs their first lead at 18-17 with 6:28 left in the second quarter.
The two teams essentially traded baskets before Graham's Cherise Ashley hit a three-pointer with three seconds left in the second quarter to give the Red Devils a 28-27 lead going into halftime.
Trailing 41-39 heading into the fourth quarter, Northside's Erin Bowerman made the first of two free throws to pull the Monarchs to within one.
Curry then got a rebound and made a 3-pointer to give the Monarchs a 43-41 lead with 7:16 left in the game. Northside extended the lead to 46-41 with 6:16 left, but managed just two points for the remainder of the game.
Lizzie Perez ended with 12 points for the Monarchs.
Graham 17 11 13 14 — 55
Northside 12 15 12 9 — 48
Snipes 20, Wilson 18, Ashley 8, Cousin 6, Atkins 3. Totals— 19 9-12 55.
Curry 21, Perez 12, Moore 5, Bowerman 5, Collins 5. Totals— 17 7-12 48.
3-Point Goals— G 6 (Snipes 4, Ashley 2). N 7 (Perez 4, Curry 2). Rebounds— G 31 (Snipes, Atkins 8). N 33 (Curry 8). RECORDS— G: 19-10. N: 24-5.

Work started this week on construction of the new Havelock city hall building.
An official ground-breaking is scheduled for 1 p.m. Friday when city officials, architects, contractors and others will ceremonially turn over dirt for the project.
"I think it's something that the people of Havelock will be very proud of," said former mayor Jimmy Sanders, who worked with commissioners to get the project funded. "It's a great design and I'm glad that I had a part in it."
The 9,295 square-foot building is being paid for by a $1.7 million loan and a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development.
The building, designed by Oakley Collier Architects of Rocky Mount, incorporates room for most department heads in the city plus a commissioners meeting room that will double as a courtroom.
The general contractor, Marand Builders Inc., of Charlotte, won the bid to construct the building over 11 other bidders in August.
Havelock, along with USDA and the architects, issued a notice to proceed to the contractor to begin work last week.
Site work started as an old pumping station had to be removed in preparation for the new building.
The new structure will be built between the existing city hall and Cunningham Boulevard. The site encompasses the existing employee parking lot.
During construction, parking will be restricted to the current city hall parking lot.
Havelock employees will continue to work in the existing city hall until the new structure is complete. At that time, the employees will move into the new structure and the old one will be demolished.
Parts of the existing city hall are more than 70 years old.
"The people that haven't been in the building and worked in the building know that it appears to be in good shape from the outside but the building is not in good shape as it would appear," Sanders said.
City commissioners originally considered renovating the old building, but in the end, voted for the new construction.
"That would have been spending good money after bad," Sanders said of the proposed renovation. "It was just simply not worth the expense."
Sanders said U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield deserves a lot of credit for helping the city get the loan and grant from USDA to finance the project.
The new building is expected to be completed in nine months.

Integrated Life Sciences - B.S/M.D.
|College of Arts and Sciences
ILS Program Office
|The Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOUCOM) was established in 1973 by an act of the Ohio General Assembly. The college is a consortium of The University of Akron, Kent State University and Youngstown State University. NEOUCOM is fully accredited by the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association. The first class graduated in the spring of 1981.
The college was established to provide new opportunities in medical education. Its purpose is to prepare well-qualified physicians who are oriented to the practice of medicine at the community level, especially primary care and family medicine. The medical training required in the program is combined and integrated with university coursework in order to produce physicians who are well-grounded in the sciences, humanistic in their approach to patients and liberally educated.
This program requires that students be enrolled for 11 months in each of the six academic years. Phase I of the program is spent on one of the three university campuses. Phase I begins with a summer term and continues through two academic years and two additional summer terms. During this period, coursework is focused on studies in the behavioral and basic pre-medical sciences. It also includes orientation to clinical medicine and work in the humanities.
Phase II of the program involves intensive medical training and may be accompanied by summer coursework in the humanities. In the first year of Phase II, students study the basic medical sciences, including anatomy, physiology and microbiology, at the NEOUCOM Basic Medical Sciences Campus in Rootstown. Students may return to the university campus for the summer term following this year to complete any requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree.
In the remaining three years of Phase II (years four, five and six of the overall program), students develop competence in the clinical aspects of medicine through instruction provided principally at one or more of the community hospitals associated with the program.
|Eligibility for Admission:
Current high school students and those students who have completed high school, but have not yet earned college credit after graduating from high school, may be considered for the combined B.S. /M.D. program. Students who earn college credits while in high school are eligible.
Evaluation of Progress:
Progress through the undergraduate portion of the B.S>/M.D. program is measured by academic performance and development of personal maturity appropriate to assumption of professional responsibility. The Committee Academic and Professional Progress (CAPP) will assess these factors and the student's successful performance on the MCAT in order to recommend students for promotion and formal admission to Phase II of the program.
How to Apply:
The application for the combines B.S. /M.D. program is available online on the NEOUCOM website. Questions about the admissions process may be directed to the Integrated Life Sciences office at 330-672-3015.
During Phase I of the combined B.S. /M.D. portion, students pay tuition directly to the Kent State University. To learn more about tuition amounts, please contact the Kent State University Bursar's Office at 330-672-2626.
|Minimum 124 total credit hours required for graduation.
|Students in Phase I may extend the program by one year to participate in an Enrichment Experience. This Enrichment Experience may include: Senior thesis, Graduate study, Study Abroad, Ambulatory care experience, Missionary or other service work. To be eligible for an Enrichment Experience, the student must meet minimum academic criteria and receive approval from CAPP.

Biomedical Sciences - Cellular and Molecular Biology-M.S. and Ph.D.
|College of Arts and Sciences
|School of Biomedical Sciences
Phone: 330-672-2263
E-mail: email@example.com
Web: www.kent.edu/biomedical
|The Master of Science and the Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences–Cellular and Molecular Biology consist of two concentrations: Cellular Biology and Structure and Molecular Biology and Genetics. Cellular and Molecular Biology and Molecular and Genetics prepares creative research scientists for careers in teaching, research and biotechnology. Graduates possess an in-depth comprehension of experimental design at the cellular and molecular levels of biological organization as well as competency in current techniques in the discipline. Major research emphases include signal transduction, biochemistry and pathobiology, gene regulation, cell systems biology, cell and tissue ultrastructure, membrane structure and function, molecular aspects of neurobiology and endocrinology, genetics and metabolism of microorganisms, virology and immunology, and enzymology with an emphasis on protein dynamics and folding as well as cytochrome P-450 s.
Ph.D.: Due to the program' breadth, faculty are associated with two sub-programs: cellular biology and structure, and molecular biology and genetics.
|Official transcript(s), 3.0 GPA, GRE, goal statement and three letters of recommendation. The M.S. also requires a bachelor s degree with preparation adequate to perform graduate work in the desired field. This commonly includes two years of chemistry, one year of mathematics, one year of physics and courses in anthropology, biology and psychology as appropriate to the field. Admission with deficiencies may be accorded, but these must be made up during the first two years of graduate study.
Admission to the Ph.D. also requires either completion of the M.S. or direct matriculation to the doctoral program following completion of no less than 20 hours of graduate coursework (including the core) and will be accorded upon the recommendation of the student's guidance committee and the school director. Normally, a student is admitted to the master's program prior to doctoral work, but a student holding only a baccalaureate may be admitted directly into the doctoral program in exceptional cases.
|Ph.D.: As soon after completion of the candidacy examination as possible, the dissertation committee will be established consisting of the guidance committee and an outside discipline member — a graduate faculty member from another department at Kent State University or another program committee of the School of Biomedical Sciences. The student will submit to this committee his/her prospectus for the dissertation. The format of the prospectus will parallel that utilized for NIH grant proposals (without biographical, budget and facilities information). The dissertation committee may elect to examine the candidate on the proposal, may accept it as submitted, or may reject it with specific reasons and recommendations for reformulation.

Mother Talzin
Mother Talzin, the spiritual guide of Dathomir's Nightsisters during the Clone Wars, held enormous power on her homeworld and wielded the strange magicks of the Nightsisters. She sold the services of the Nightsisters to the galaxy's wealthy and powerful, but wasn't above backstabbing any clients who treated her clan with disrespect. She earned the ire of Count Dooku by aiding one of her sisters, Asajj Ventress, exact revenge against the Sith Lord.
- Female,
- Height: 2.23m ,
Related //
The Nightsisters are a coven of witches that lived on the mysterious world of Dathomir. The sisters ruled unchallenged, gifted with the power to wield dark magicks. The men of Dathomir, the Nightbrothers, lived apart from the witches, but were subservient to their whims. Despite their power, the Nightsisters avoided the conflict of the Republic and Sith, content to pursue their own matters. The Jedi gave them a wide berth, for they remain focused on matters on Dathomir. Count Dooku has had dealings with them in the past, and turned to them when he was in need of a new apprentice. Their betrayal of Dooku earned the Nightsisters a powerful enemy, and he ordered a massive attack by his droid forces in retribution.
Asajj Ventress
An assassin trained in the ways of the dark side by Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress yearned to be considered a true Sith, but such status wasn't allowed under the Sith's Rule of Two. Ventress fought with twin red-bladed lightsabers, and clashed with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker many times. But her destiny would not lie with the Sith…
Count Dooku
Count Dooku was a menacing Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars. Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious' dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army.
Savage Opress
Savage Opress was once a common Nightbrother whose fighting prowess impressed Asajj Ventress. Transformed into a monstrous warrior by Mother Talzin, Opress became Count Dooku's new assassin and secret Sith apprentice. His loyalty, however, remained to Talzin. The Nightsisters leader gave Savage a new quest: to find his brother, Darth Maul, who had somehow survived his apparent death and was living in exile in the Outer Rim.
Darth Maul
A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed.
Old Daka
The oldest and wisest of the Nightsisters clan, Old Daka's knowledge of the arcane magicks was unprecedented. When the Separatists launched a devastating attack on Dathomir, and the Nightsisters were outnumbered by General Grievous's droid forces, Mother Talzin retreated into the depths of the witches' lair and called upon Old Daka for help. Daka used an ancient incantation to summon the dead from the Nightsisters' graveyard, bolstering their number with zombie hordes.

Dathan Ritzenhein, Carrie Tollefsen, Chris Solinsky, Sara Hall (Bei), Bob Kennedy and Suzy Favor-Hamilton. All were Foot Locker cross country finalists. All are household names as professional runners. Clearly each of them are the type of athlete a coach dreams of landing as a recruit at the collegiate level.
Abdirizak Mohamud, Amber Trotter, Kenny Cormier, Katelyn Kaltenbach, Matthew Withrow, and Aislinn Ryan. Unless you are a serious disciple of running, you have probably heard little or nothing about these runners. But not only were they all Foot Locker finalists, each was also a national champion. By all accounts, each of them should have been just as sought after by coaches as any of the aforementioned names. However, aside from Withrow having a bit of success as a college freshman at the University of Wisconsin, none panned out at the next level.
Check out the archives of any serious running forum and you will find them filled with threads asking, "Whatever happened to (name of bust)?" Supposedly Mohamud, a two-time Foot Locker champ, hardly trained as prep. Yet, he was such an exceptional talent that people can hardly fathom that he did nothing as a runner in college. Cormier was known for 100-mile weeks in high school. Yet, he decided it better quit running at Arkansas after a couple of seasons in order to join the Marines and fight in Afghanistan.
Both of these stories are examples of what happens to supreme high school talent more often than not. And both are quite a contrast to the recent 10K American record of Solinsky or the Olympic success of Ritzenhein.
With a limited number of scholarships and intense pressure to perform, Division One coaches have little margin for error when it comes to recruiting if they wish to remain competitive. Which begs the question; how does a coach distinguish between a Ritzenhein and a Mohamud?
Are there warning signs that point to a potential bust? Or are coaches at the mercy of fate when it comes to recruits?
Perhaps no question evokes more emotion in coaches than the question of how many miles a week a prep athlete should run. Certainly there are very few advocates for the 20-mile week regiments of old football players turned cross country coaches. However, the line between 35 and 85 becomes much grayer.
Joe Newton's York high school squads from suburban Chicago have won 27 Illinois state cross country titles, routinely qualify for Nike XC Nationals and have produced multiple Foot Locker finalists. It is no secret that Newton's runners routinely log mega-miles. What is also not a secret is that many in the running community view his methods, along with the methods of many other high-mileage power programs, as essentially ending many running careers before they have a chance to start.
"A lot of coaches stay away from Joe Newton's kids and kids from similar programs," says Tom Heinonen, the former women's cross country coach at the University of Oregon. "Rightly or wrongly, many coaches of higher-mileage-programs get maligned along the way."
On the surface, power programs such as York, Arcadia (California), The Woodlands (Texas), Carmel (Indiana), Fayetteville Manlius (New York) and others, historically have seemed to produce an inordinate number of collegiate busts when compared to the caliber of runner they routinely produce at the high school level. Naturally, many arguments exist in defense of these types of programs: The kids never would have had the chance to run for a national-class program without that background; sure the kid wasn't a national champ like he was in high school, but top five on a national-qualifying team can't really be considered a bust; or better to strike gold when you have the chance and win a title than to leave something in the tank for what is only a potential victory later.
Whether these power programs do their kids a favor or a disservice by training as aggressively as they do can be debated until all parties are blue in the face. The sheer volume of runners that move on to the college ranks from these programs and the unquantifiable nature of what defines a bust make it impossible to determine whether or not there is any validity to the idea that higher-mileage programs damage the collegiate performance of their alum.
However, just because it cannot be statistically proven that certain types of high school programs have an adverse effect of the future performance of a runner, this does not mean that coaches at top programs don't let their gut instincts impact the type of recruit they find most desirable. While it certainly was not the only factor coaches considered when looking at an athlete, the coaches interviewed for this article certainly did have strong opinions about both high and low mileage backgrounds.

As your baby grows, you've probably started wondering when and how to start feeding your infant solid foods. Here are some general tips to consider:
Is there a safe age to start feeding solid foods to my infant?
Yes, most infants this is between four and six months of age.
Why is there a 'safe' age to start feeding solids?
There are a few reasons why this age is safest. The first reason is because prior to four months of age, an infant is not developmentally ready to safely eat from a spoon.
To be able to swallow solids safely, an infant needs good head control; to be able to sit well with support; and to have lost the "extrusion reflex" (the reflex which enables newborns to tightly latch and suck from a nipple, but makes them shove a spoon out of their mouth).
The second reason an infant should be fed solids between four and six months is something many families are not aware of: it is also a strategy to prevent common food allergies. This is one of the strongest reasons I passionately advocate for infants to be exposed to as many foods as possible during this crucial three-month window.
Starting solids and preventing food allergies:
In the past, healthcare providers have advised parents to avoid potential allergens such as peanuts, eggs, and milk. New evidence is now showing that this practice might have played a role in the increased incidence of childhood food allergies in the U.S
Why might this occur? The ...

Sam Harris has recently written on his blog about consciousness.
The first stab he gave was troubling for me. For one, he seems to be embracing some of the sillier notions about qualia (for a good satire of qualia and zombies, read this movie script:http://lesswrong.com/lw/pn/zombies_the_movie/) as Sam says in his first essay:
"To say that a creature is conscious, therefore, is not to say anything about its behavior; no screams need be heard, or wincing seen, for a person to be in pain. Behavior and verbal report are fully separable from the fact of consciousness: We can find examples of both without consciousness (a primitive robot) and consciousness without either (a person suffering "locked-in syndrome").?"
Now this as on its own isn't necessarily silly, though I think behaviour plays a huge role on our conscious experience (Smiling can make you happy). But then in his third footnote, he says this:
"And, again, I should say that philosophers like Daniel Dennett and Paul Churchland just don't buy this. But I do not understand why. My not seeing how consciousness can possibly be an illusion entails my not understanding how they (or anyone else) can think that it might be one."
I might be confused myself as well, but Dennett in Consciousness Explained did not say that consciousness would be an illusion, but a bag of tricks—that is, not so superduper-mind-blowing as we feel and think it to be. And then the whole business of "what it is like to be something" seems like a red herring, an intuitive feeling that has nothing to do with the scientific inquiry we would like to start.
Defeatism is on many of Sam's lines, saying all the time that this or that is impossible, pointing out his own failure to imagine something as evidence of there being something to it. Where have I heard this argument before? Creationists come to mind:
"—an analysis of purely physical processes will never yield a picture of consciousness. However, this is not to say that some other thesis about consciousness must be true. Consciousness may very well be the lawful product of unconscious information processing. But I don't know what that sentence means—and I don't think anyone else does either."
"This situation has been characterized as an "explanatory gap"? and the "hard problem of consciousness,"? and it is surely both. I am sympathetic with those who, like the philosopher Colin McGinn and the psychologist Steven Pinker, have judged the impasse to be total: Perhaps the emergence of consciousness is simply incomprehensible in human terms.? Every chain of explanation must end somewhere—generally with a brute fact that neglects to explain itself. Consciousness might represent a terminus of this sort. Defying analysis, the mystery of inner life may one day cease to trouble us."
"—it is difficult to imagine what experimental findings could render the emergence of consciousness comprehensible."
"How is it that unconscious events can give rise to consciousness? Not only do we have no idea, but it seems impossible to imagine what sort of idea could fit in the space provided."
And then the point about no gradual smooth change? Sam sounds again like a creationist:
"The problem, however, is that the distance between unconsciousness and consciousness must be traversed in a single stride, if traversed at all. Just as the appearance of something out of nothing cannot be explained by our saying that the first something was "very small," the birth of consciousness is rendered no less mysterious by saying that the simplest minds have only a glimmer of it. "
When Sam got to vitalism I thought he was onto something: The analogy is great! Now, in terms of software, programs, the organization of the brain, are we on our way to get rid of the life juice of mental life. But then Sam went on oblivious to this possibility:
"The analogy is a bad one: Life is defined according to external criteria; Consciousness is not (and, I think, cannot be)."
Then came the mystic out and showed his holistic robes to daylight:
"We have reasons to believe that reductions of this sort are neither possible nor conceptually coherent."
"And yet, whatever insights arise from correlating mental and physical events, it seems unlikely that one side of the world will be fully reduced to the other. "
So after all the success of reductionism, now, it's bound to fail? Want to bet?
Then the cheap tactic of making this into an either-or issue: either by introspection or not at all… And introspection has provided to be a great tool for discoveries, just ask your own intuition about your awareness (an invisible gorilla should come into mind about now).
"Many truths about ourselves will be discovered in consciousness directly, or not discovered at all. "
So in short, Sam is saying (unless if I'm being deluded into reading into his words something else than he meant) that consciousness is mysterious, science is flawed, and it just seems impossible to ever make progress on this issue. So don't even try.
When Sam wrote about the mysteriousness of consciousness in his previous books, I was okay with that, because they were not about consciousness, so he could play that card and context. But being one of the leading proponents of proper scientific thinking in all areas of our life, he's not really leading a great example with this newest piece. By only proclaiming the mystic and awe, and not really chopping into it, he's sounding like the people who out of laziness just say "Whau! Mindboggling! I can't imagine how this magic could be a bag of tricks, therefore it can't! Because my imagination is the gold standard for all reality." Ergo Defeatism.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Aided by a hat trick from Kenny Hogg (Irvine, SCOTLAND, the nation's current leading scorer, visiting Palm Beach Atlantic scored a 4-1 victory over Pfeiffer University in non-conference men's soccer action on a wet Sunday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. The Sailfish stay unbeaten at 6-0 on the year with the win while the Falcons drop to 0-6.
Hogg started the day with his 12th of season 3:51 into Sunday's matinee after a touch pass delivered by teammate Evan Singlar (Currituck, NC) from the end line. In the 34th minute, AJ Black (Plant City, FL) sent a corner kick to the foot of Hogg who found the back of the net for his 13th of the year and a 2-0 Sailfish lead.
Just past the hour in the 61st minute, the Falcons' Kyle Toler (Charlotte, NC) dribbled through several defenders before clanking his shot off the left post and in for his first of the season and a 2-1 deficit. Eight minutes later, Hogg would complete his three-goal afternoon converting a Sailfish penalty kick before Kevin Ireland (Kilmarnock, SCOTLAND) added insurance in the 85th minute after a cross from James Kaim (Niceville, FL).
The Sailfish outshot the Falcons 20-7 in the match and took all seven corners. Jonathan Strunk (Evanston, IL) turned away three shots in net for Palm Beach Atlantic while Zach Liles (Cumming, GA) stopped seven for Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Tuesday, weather permitting, hosting Mount Olive in Conference Carolinas action at 4:00 p.m. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Robert L. "Bob" McHaney Jr.
Robert L. "Bob" McHaney Jr. passed away June 17, 2012 at Regent care Center in Waco, Texas from cancer.
Funeral services are 11 a.m. Friday, June 22, 2012, at First Baptist Church with the Rev. Dale Funderburg officiating. The body will lie in state from 10 a.m. to service time at the church.
He was born in Arkansas to Robert L. and Martha P. McHaney and moved to West Point, at an early age with his parents. He graduated from West Point High School in 1958 where he participated in football and track and was selected to attend Boys State. He attended Mississippi State University where he received his B.A. degree and simultaneously was commissioned as a Second Lt. in the U.S. Air Force. He received an educational delay in reporting to active duty pending his graduation from the University of Mississippi School of Law. During his years in West Point he accepted Christ at the First Baptist Church.
After release from active duty, he joined the Air Force Reserves. His combined service, both active and reserves, totaled 30 years and he retired a colonel. He served the entire time as a Judge Advocate Attorney. He was a member of the unit in Georgia which was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation. Bob was also individually awarded a Meritous Service Medal with an oak leaf cluster.
Bob had a varied career in law. In addition to his judge Advocate role in the Air Force, he handled civil and criminal cases in Tenn., Ga., Miss., and Texas, and at one time was admitted to practice simultaneously in all four states. Prior to beginning his own law practice in Atlanta, Ga., he was the first law clerk for a U.S. District judge in Atlanta with whom he remained close friends for many years. During his employment for the Air Force in the 80's and early 90's, he specialized in medical practice defense for the Air Force, traveling coast to coast and to Europe on assignments often taking his family on extended trips throughout the country and Europe. In later years he centered on handling cases for large insurance companies.
Bob was especially proud of the fact that the judge Advocate General of the Air Force, was impressed with his work as the Senior Reservist and invited Bob to become a member of the TJAG's staff at the Pentagon where Bob served in his reserve Capacity from 1982 to 1989.
Bob and Carol Ann married in 1980 and lived in Miss. until 1992, when they relocated to Waco, Texas. Their daughter, Chelle McHaney, resides and works in Houston. His step-son, William D. Pate, has been a source of pride as the head tennis coach at the University of Alabama, and is currently the head tennis coach at Princeton University. Bob has been particularly thankful for Billy and Chelle's devotion to their family. He is also survived by a brother, Larry McHaney; sisters: Barbara Wright and Martha Burford; several nieces and one nephew.
Bob especially wanted to thank his client, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Co. for its loyalty to Bob during his last illness. The family would like to thank Hillcrest Baptist Hospital, Regent Care Center, and Bluebonnet Hospice for their care and devotion during his illness. They would like to thank many friends, family, the Presbyterian Church of Waco, and his future son-in-law, Daniel Kennedy, for their help and support during this trying time. He would like to thank his loving nieces: Haley McHaney and Mary E. Stonebridge and cousins and Aunt from East Ark. for their support this past year.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the scholarship Fund of First Presbyterian Church, Waco, Texas; Youth Fund at First Baptist Church, West Point, where Bob was raised and attended church; the national Lung Cancer Partnership; or the scholarship Fund at the University of Mississippi Law School for students needing financial aid.
Friends may leave an on line condolence at robinsonfh.net.
Robinson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Comments about Defeet Aireator High Top Wooleator Sock:
These are my go-to sock. There is literally no reason not to use them every day... I wear these day-in, day out, from bike to work and back. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Great for racing or commuting or just wearing. Near-perfect socks, can't complain. Wish they were a little stretchier, but then they wouldn't have as much wool in them. Only downside is that they'll get a little fuzzy over time, but that's to be expected of any wool product.
Worth every penny. AND made in the USA!

Adding controversial amendments to important bills is one tactic used by supporters of a bill to make other lawmakers confront and vote on difficult issues. Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvania used this technique in a classic example of parliamentary acrobatics. In 1846, Wilmot successfully added to an appropriations bill (one that authorizes necessary government expenditures) an amendment prohibiting slavery in all territory taken during the Mexican War. The Senate, where the South was stronger, let the bill die. The antislavery House majority continued adding Wilmot's proviso to other important bills, constantly forcing legislators to face the volatile question of expanding slavery.

Monroe team to enjoy 7th heaven in Cleveland
Monroe 7-on-7 team represents Seahawks and heads to Ohio for national tourney this weekend

Sean Ryan / The Herald
Andrew Zimmerman, junior quarterback at Monroe high school, takes the snap during 7-on-7 practice Monday afternoon in preparation for the national 7-on-7 tournament hosted by the NFL.
Every summer, the NFL partners with the National Guard to put on a national 7-on-7 tournament for high school players. Teams advance through qualifying tourneys and eventually earn the right to represent individual NFL teams at the national event.
Monroe won a local qualifier in late May at Snohomish's Glacier Peak High School and later a regional tournament at the Seattle Seahawks practice facility in Renton. Just like that, they were headed to Cleveland.
The team, coached by Bearcats assistants Jake Herigstad and Edd Pratt, travels on Wednesday for weekend games against some of the top high school football players in the country.
"This is a really big deal," said junior quarterback and defensive back Andrew Zimmerman. "To be able to go (to Cleveland) and compete against kids from other states, that's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
"This is bigger than anything we've ever been involved in because we're going to a national tournament," agreed senior Gabe Moore, an offensive slotback and defensive linebacker.
Even the coaches are thrilled. "It's something I won't forget and I'm just coaching in it," Herigstad said. "I'm not even playing."
The game of 7-on-7 is essentially touch football without pads or helmets, and there are no running plays or kicking plays, only passes. If you think of being a kid playing football in the street or someone's backyard, you kind of get the idea.
"This is so much fun," Moore said. "As a receiver, you know on every single play you've got a chance to get the ball."
For Zimmerman, 7-on-7 is a blast because "I'm a quarterback and I like to throw the ball." Because the defensive team is not allowed to rush the passer, "I get to stand back there without huge guys running at me and just throw the ball around."
In May, the Monroe players and coaches attended a camp at Glacier Peak. The camp was for all positions, but on the last day there was a 7-on-7 tournament, which the Bearcats won. From there they advanced to the June regional tournament at the Seahawks training facility, where they competed against teams from Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Monroe beat Foss High School of Tacoma in the championship game for the right to represent the Seahawks in Cleveland.
"We're one of 32 teams in the nation going to this tournament," Herigstad said. "And there's seven other teams that were at our regional tournament that wish they were in our spot."
All expenses for travel, lodging and meals are covered. Football apparel, including cleats, is also provided, with the Monroe players wearing authentic Seahawks jerseys. The tournament opens at the Browns training facility, but the championship game will be at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.
Though the team representing the Miami Dolphins is the four-time defending champion, "I wouldn't trade our 12 guys for any 12 guys in the country," Herigstad said. "I've worked with these guys for three years and I'll go to battle with them against anybody.
"Our goal," he added, "is to go there and have fun and hopefully win it."
It will not be easy. Many of the rival teams will be regional all-star squads, "so 90 percent of the kids will be (future NCAA) Division I or Division II football players," Pratt said. "So it's going to be a tough challenge."
An obvious question is whether this tournament can be a springboard for Monroe in the coming football season. In other words, can the Bearcats use a strong showing in Cleveland to boost their chances in a Western Conference season that begins in about seven weeks?
"We keep telling the kids, there's not a direct carryover into what's going to happen in the season," Pratt said. Compared to fall football, 7-on-7 "is just not the same," he explained. "But it shows what you can do when you put your mind to something as far as accomplishing something as a team.
"So from an attitude standpoint, yes. And then having the confidence that, hey, we're pretty good at (a passing offense), that also helps the kids."
Regardless of how the Cleveland tournament unfolds, the Monroe players and coaches expect to have a great time this weekend while accumulating some great memories.
"It's the experience of a lifetime," said senior wide receiver and cornerback Robbie Schad. "This will be something we're never going to forget. Because regardless of how we do in the season, we'll have done something big."
"The kids will never forget this experience," Pratt said. "And we won't either."
How to play 7-on-7 football
Here are some of the rules for 7-on-7 football, which members of the Monroe High School football team will play at this week's tournament in Cleveland:
The ball starts at the 40-yard line. Teams have four downs to reach the 20 for a first down, then four downs to reach the end zone for a touchdown.
Touchdowns are worth seven points. A defensive interception is worth three points, plus the ball.
No running plays, kicking plays, laterals, double passes or flare passes behind the line of scrimmage. The quarterback has four seconds to pass the ball, or he is considered sacked.
Five offensive players are eligible receivers. They are down when touched.
Games are two 10-minute halves.

IRB Procedures
Human Subjects Protection
Supplements System Policy 15.99
Texas A&M University-Texarkana recognizes the need for investigation in which human beings may serve as research subjects. The University acknowledges and accepts its responsibilities for ensuring that the privacy, safety, health, and welfare of such subjects are adequately protected. All research which involves any form of participation of human subjects qualifies as human subject research. This includes certain survey research, research by students, faculty and staff and both internally and externally funded research.
Following Federal guidelines (CFR US Part 46), a five or more member Institutional Review Board (IRB) will be appointed by the Vice President of Academic Affairs, to staggered three-year terms. The Board will review research proposals in regard to the protection of human subjects in research. Additionally, the Chair and/or others the Chair deems appropriate will be responsible for training faculty, students, staff and new appointees to the IRB regarding the procedures and requirements for the protection of human subjects in research.
The IRB will function according to applicable federal rules and regulations and follow the procedures described in the University IRB Procedures.The IRB will meet a minimum of once a semester, with additional meeting called as needed.
Each program that conducts research using human subjects shall as a committee review research proposals and then forward them to the college Dean. The Dean will either approve the proposal as ready for review by the IRB or require that the proposal be modified and resubmitted to the program by the principal investigator. All proposals submitted to the program must include the IRB submission form and the complete protocol, including the consent form.
Each program may designate one or more faculty members to review proposals for review of the Dean.
All documentation associated with IRB reviews will be maintained by the Chair of the IRB.
The IRB shall review and have the authority to approve, tentatively approve pending receipt of additional information, or disapprove the proposed research. All researchers must complete training for ethical conduct of research with human participants. The training is online at IRB Required Researcher Computer-Based TrainingThe completion certificate must be turned in to the IRB chair before the application can be reviewed.
Continuing review of research must be conducted at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk, but not less than once per year. The IRB cannot approve a research project for more than 12 months. All reviews for continuation will be conducted by expedited review, if no changes have been made to the research protocol and no adverse or unexpected reactions or side effects have occurred or are expected. If the investigator, during the course of conducting the research, revises the research protocol (e.g., makes changes to the informed consent form, survey instruments used or number and nature of subjects), the principal investigator must notify the IRB Chair immediately. The Chair will perform an expedited review and determine the need for any additional review, and notify the IRB members.
In general, a human subjects research proposal should provide that: risks are minimized through procedures consistent with sound research design (reasonable risks beyond those incurred in daily life may be out-weighed by benefits to the subjects), selection of subjects is equitable and the setting appropriate, informed consent is adequate, consent is documented, continued monitoring takes place to ensure the safety of the subjects and privacy and confidentiality are maintained.
Participation of a human subject in any study must be voluntary and the information provided to gain subject consent must be adequate and appropriate. The IRB may choose to waive the requirement for informed consent in some cases; however, such action must be based on clearly defensible grounds.

Influenza is making a comeback after a relatively mild season last year.
Pam Brown, public information officer for the Onslow County Health Department, said that North Carolina as a whole is reporting widespread flu activity.
"In fact, a report from the State said that this is the largest flu outbreak in the past decade," Brown said.
Onslow County is not immune.
Amy Sousa, media relations coordinator for Onslow Memorial Hospital, said that last year was a mild flu season everywhere, but this year there is a spike.
"We are definitely seeing an increase in flu in the emergency department visits," she stated in an email.
In December 2011, there were 210 total tests administered at Onslow Memorial, and only one person tested positive for the flu. Last month, the hospital administered 489 tests and 60 tested positive for the flu.
Sousa stated that the hospital is discouraging anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms from visiting patients.
She said that there are some hospitals in the surrounding area that have restricted visitation, but Onslow Memorial has not.
Brown said residents can still benefit from getting a flu shot and can check with their primary care provider or pharmacies around the area to get one.
"It's not too late to get your flu shot," Brown said. "It is one of the best things people can do."
Brown said there are still regular dose, state-provided flu shots available at no cost to residents at the health department.
"As long as our supply of the state vaccine holds out, we will continue to give it out," she said.
The Onslow County Health Department has walk-in clinic hours Monday through Wednesday and on Fridays from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. On Thursday, walk-in hours for flu shots are 12:30 to 6 p.m.
Brown said it is important to get a flu shot because it provides one of the best defenses from getting the full blown flu.
"There is a bit of a misconception that the vaccine will make you sick," she said. "It is true that you may still get the flu because there are various strains floating around. But, many times, when people have had a flu shot, they will not get the flu or they will get a milder version."
She also said that getting a flu shot is important because it protects those who are unable to get a flu shot because of age, religious beliefs or allergy.
"If more people have this protection, it provides a cocoon around those who cannot have (the flu shot)," she said. "For example, if you have a newborn, and everyone in the family is getting the flu shot, you are protecting the newborn as well."
Along with getting a flu shot, there are several precautions residents can take to keep the flu from infecting their home.
"There are some powerful things people can do," Brown said. "They're so simple that I don't think people realize how powerful they are."
She said residents should wash their hands and wash them often, taking a little extra time to do a deep cleaning.
People should also wipe down surfaces with cleaning solution and change bedding often if someone has been sick in the house.
"People don't realize that things they use most often and seem clean are very unsanitary," she said. "Don't forget to sanitize your keyboard and sanitize your cellphone. People think, 'I'm the only one touching it, so it's fine,' but, for example, if you're touching a door handle and then touching your phone, you don't know what you transported from the door handle to your phone."
Brown said to remember to regularly sanitize children's toys, try to not touch your face a lot to keep germs from getting into your mouth, eyes and nose and keep space between items like family toothbrushes.
"If the family's toothbrushes are in the same container, and the toothbrush of someone who is sick touches another, it can pass those germs on to the other brush," she said.
And, in a season of hugs and handshakes, Brown said it may be best to refrain.
"Keeping six feet or more distance can help out when people have been sick," she said. "You can wave to people instead of shaking their hand."
Brown said that if residents are sick, they should stay home until their fever has been gone for 24 hours without medicinal aid. The same goes for children.
"It really protects everyone around you if you just say you're going to need a couple of days off," she said. "You're not just protecting yourself — you're protecting others."
For more information about the flu vaccine, contact the Onslow County Health Department at 910-938-5851.

Ewing's Sarcoma
(Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors [PNET]; Ewing's Family of Tumors)
Pronounced: YOO-ingz sar-KOH-muh
by Diana Kohnle and Patricia Griffin Kellicker, BSN
Ewing's sarcoma is a cancerous bone tumor that may occur in any bone in the body. When it occurs in soft tissue, it is called extraosseous sarcoma. The most commonly affected areas include the pelvis, thigh, lower leg, upper arm, and chest wall.
Causes TOP
The causes of Ewing's sarcoma are not fully understood. Chromosomal rearrangement that alters the genes may be a factor.
Risk Factors TOP
Because the causes of the cancer are unknown, risk factors are also not fully understood. The following factors may increase your chance of developing Ewing's sarcoma:
Symptoms TOP
Symptoms include:
Diagnosis TOP
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will be treated by a team of doctors which may include an oncologist who specializes in cancer, an orthopaedic surgeon who operates on bones, and a radiation oncologist who works with radiation to kill cancer cells.
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Your bodily fluids and tissues may need to be tested. This can be done with:
Treatment TOP
Treatment involves a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Typically, patients are first treated with chemotherapy for 8-12 weeks, followed by a CT or MRI scan to evaluate the tumor. Depending on the tumor size and location, either surgery or radiation follows. Chemotherapy then resumes for several months after surgery or radiation.
Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill tumor cells. The medications used to treat this tumor include vincristine (Oncovin) , dactinomycin (Actinomycin D), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), doxorubicin (Adriamycin), ifosfamide (Ifex), and etoposide (VePesid). Your doctor will prescribe a combination of these drugs to be given over a set time. This usually means every 2-4 weeks for several months.
Surgery may be used to remove the tumor, as well as rebuild the affected bone. Depending on the location of the tumor, a bone graft or prosthesis may be needed. There are special types of prostheses that expand as the bone grows. Sometimes, several surgeries are needed to make sure the limb functions properly.
Radiation Therapy TOP
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It may be used with surgery or instead of surgery. It is usually given over several weeks and is followed by chemotherapy.
Future Therapy TOP
A combination of high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant is being evaluated at certain cancer centers. This combination therapy is typically used in cases where the tumor is very resistant.
Prevention TOP
Ewing's sarcoma occurs for unknown reasons. There are currently no preventive measures to reduce the risk of developing the cancer.

1. Gengis Khan, but has happened with hundreds and hundreds of others.
2. None
Thread: You had me at first spray
This thread is two fold. What fragrance have you tried that just blew your mind right after the first spray and just had to buy it. On the other hand. What fragrance have you tried that you loved at first spray but then as it settled on your skin you could not stand it? Looking forward to your insights.
1. Gengis Khan, but has happened with hundreds and hundreds of others.
2. None
you can also look at this thread:
1. Portrait of a Lady. Love at first smell, more so than with any other fragrance.
2. I don't think I've had that experience.
Current Top Five:
1. Bois des Iles--Chanel
2. George Sand--Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
3. L'Ame Soeur--Divine
4. Violet Blonde--Tom Ford
5. Santal Blush--Tom Ford
1. MDCI Ambre Topkapi - at 250 dollars I did not buy it!
2. Cerruti 1881
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
1. Millesime Imperial
2. Bois de Cedrat
1. Vince Camuto, hinoki, Kyoto, TDH
2. Many; roadster, etc.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
1) Yendi by Capucci, the perfume. I smelled it when I was about 20ish at the perfume counter in harrods. It was fearfully expensive and there was no way I could afford it then. I have a murky memory it was over £100 an ounce all that time ago at the end of the 1980's. Utterly unobtainable for me. I never forgot it and eventually came upon a tiny bottle on Spanish ebay about 25+ years later. I still love that perfume above most others. The real perfume is vastly superior to any edt or colognes of it.
2) Miller Harris Noix de Tubereuse. I rashly bought a huge 100ml bottle after smelling a sample just once. I wore it out with a little black dress for a Christmas party and felt like I smelled of a rotting jar of flowers all night long, whereas I would have felt beautiful and sexy in something like Coco Chanel. It isn't the perfumes fault. Tuberose and my skin just don't get on.
1) Jubilation XXV, TdH, Millesime Imperial, Straight to Heaven, Rose 31, Mona di Orio's Oud .. these come to mind right now
2) Parfumerie Generale Praline de Santal. It smells amazing at first, like roasted hazelnuts, quite beautiful. But within about 15 minutes it changes to something that is not necessarily bad smelling, but unbelievably generic and uninspired. I wish the roasted nut smell carried through.
Once that was Azzaro pour homme and Tabac edc............still like them!
later: eg.
- Revillon R
- Dolce Gabbana ph (vintage)

- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Acqua di Parma: Colonia Intensa /Leather/Oud
- Knize Ten
- Annick Goutal: Ambre Fetiche
- YSL: Kouros (Fraicheur)
Creed Jardin d' Amalfi & Millesime Imperial have great opening notes and I fell for them straight away, instant love.
Vintage D&G pour homme I really liked at first spray but it was just overpowering and never changing from start too twelve hours later. Ended up hating it.
Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca-Exactly the mint I was looking for.
Diptyque Tam Dao-Absolutely loved until it turned powdery...I can't stand powder.
D&G The One
None for the second question
Here's my answer to number one:
- Egoiste by YSL
- A*Men original, A*Men Pure Havane by TM
- Givenchy Play Intense by Givenchy
- Michael Kors for Men by Michael Kors
Love at first sniff!!!
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
I hear you Brother. One sniff of DHI and it was an immediate love affair.
1. A Quiet Morning by Miller et Bertaux, Blue Carnation by Roger & Gallet, Eau Duelle by Diptyque -- instant, hopeless love
2. Whips and Roses by Kerosene, Batucada by L'Artisan Parfumeur, original Chloe
1. DHI, Back to Black, and GIT.
2. Eternity. Loved the opening, but then it was just an all-day lasting soap. However...I'll add this: The last couple of times I've worn it, I didn't get as much of the soap and have actually begun to like this one again. Also Noir de Noir. Once it dries down, it's nothing but a rose scent on me. I enjoy it when rose is mixed in, but I don't enjoy smelling LIKE a rose.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie

2. le Male
Chanel Égoïste !!!!!!!
l'Occitane Eau des Baux
Hermès Ambre Narguilé (haven't bought it yet though, it is pricey )

2. L'Homme Gingerbread or whatever its called. I can't say I loved it at first, but I sure hated it once it got on my skin. Rancid.
Question 1:
Portrait of a Lady
Question 2:
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)

1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Michael by Michael Kors
1. Thierry Mugler - A*men
2. Dior - Fahrenheit Absolute (apparently this was brought out to prepare the world for Leather Oud...I love the oud, can't stand the absolute lol!)
1. LIDGE and Tom Ford Oud Wood
2. None that I can think of.
1. habit rouge beau cavalier, SDV, bel ami (vintage), K10, gomma, avignon, lidge, and dhi.
2. none; however, to the flipside of what you ask I recently applied some Molyneux - Lord from a old mini I'd forgotten about. Absolutely vile stuff if you sniff it up close. After time, however, it settles to an interesting and pleasant old-school masculine with some bite. Normally, I won't labor through an unappealing opening but this one just might be the exception to that rule.
Simplex Sigillum Veri
To name a few from the ones that had me at the first sniff:
MFK Lumiere Noire
Straight to Heaven
Rose 31
I don't remember having a fragrance that I changed my mind completely about after liking it at first spray.
1. Diorissimo
2. Andy Warhol Silver Factory
1. dior homme
2. Body Kouros
For question one I have two that come to mind.
Midnight in Paris edt I remember receiving the sample from TPC and was blown away by it. I immediately went onto fragrancenet and ordered a bottle EdP version though!!! My favorite fragrance!!!
Dior Homme (vintage) I was in Sephora smelling and I gave this stuff a whiff, and it was amazing. The lady in Sephora asked me, what did you just spray and I told her...she said omg that stuff is sooo sexy!!! I quickly grabbed the bottle up and never looked back!!!
Guerlain Vetiver and Td'H were two that I instantly loved and bought a bottle of on the spot. Heavy vetiver and pepper are my favorite.
Dior Homme Intense...first sniff and I knew this stuff had me in a trance, never imagined cologne could smell so unique and alluring.
Pure Malt opening when I smelled it back in the day blew me away and I made an impulse, crazy purchase from ebay and overpaid like crazy...now I regret purchasing since only the opening amazes me and the drydown sort of pisses me off
See my top 10 list below
My Top 10
1. Amouage Homage Attar
2. Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan
4. Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan
5. Chanel Egoiste
6. 24 Gold by Scentstory
7. Amouage Epic Man
8. Amouage Jubilation XXV
9. Bond No. 9 New York Oud
10. Serge Lutens - Chergui
"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
The ones that made me go "WOW" were CdG Calamus and Habit Rouge EdP, made even better by the fact that neither of them cost an arm and a leg. Immediate purchases.
Nothing to report on question 2.
Life's a bitch. If it were a slut it'd be easy.
First: several, but mainly vintage formulations of scents I ended up eventually owning, like e.g. Eau Sauvage, Guerlain Vetiver, Armani Eau pour Homme, Chanel Antaeus etc., in the case of all these four and of several others, it was love at first testing and hardly any doubts and any second thoughts that I will thoroughly, passionately, consistently, permanently enjoy them, in fact, it got better with any testing, any application on my skin and any subsequent purchase of backup bottles
Secondly: non really, yet some smelled spectacular on paper, still good or acceptable on my skin, yet nowhere near the mirage of the tester strip seemed to suggest (this is the case of most mainstream designer releases of the 90s, as well as of 2000-2012, with notable exceptions confirming the rule).
Knowing by Estee Lauder. I bought it right there and then at the perfume counter in Dillards. Had a similar love at first sniff with Chinatown by Bond No 9, but that wasn't at a perfume counter. It was a perfume party and I just went and bought some samples on ebay.
Wings and White Shoulders, stink-a-roo on me.
1. Spiritueuse Double Vanille
2. Egoiste
Profumo by Acqua di Parma (i need to get this one)

Schedule of classes --
Using the Wait List
NOVA offers you the option of putting yourself on a wait list if a class section is full. You can use the wait list whether you register through NOVAConnect online or by telephone.
Here's how it works:
Under "Add Classes" click the checkbox "Wait list if class is full." The classes marked with
a green circle ( ● ) are open,
a blue square ( ■ ) are closed, and
a yellow triangle (▲) have a wait list.
Not all classes offer the wait list option. If the class offers the option, then once you have selected your courses your position on the wait list will be displayed. On your schedule,
a yellow triangle ( ▲ ) means you are on the wait list;
a green check mark ( ✓) means you are enrolled.
If you are registering by phone and a class is full, you will automatically be added to the wait list if available.
The following will prevent your being moved from the wait list to a class :
- Scheduling another class that conflicts with that time frame or enrolling in another section of the class for which you are waiting.
- Having more than 18 credits including the wait list class.
- Not meeting all prerequisites or being otherwise not eligible to take the class ( holds, repeats).
Once you are on a wait list:
- You must check your schedule every morning to see if the class has been automatically added to your schedule.
- After you are enrolled, you must pay for the class by 5 p.m. on the next business day.
- If you change your mind, click the trashcan under Delete to remove the class.
- Keep in mind that you will be enrolled from the wait list in the order you were added but only if you are eligible.
- After the session begins, you will no longer be enrolled from the wait list.
- If you are automatically enrolled from the wait list but change your mind, you must drop the course before the deadline to avoid owing the tuition for the course.
Questions? Look for the Student Wait List handout on campus or view the tutorial online at: www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/student/waitlist.htm
|If you use the wait list, you are responsible for checking your schedule every morning to see if you have been enrolled in the class.

Comments about fi'zi:k Fizik Arione Saddle:
Previous saddle was a well known Italian cutout saddle. When I got the arione I thought how could this be comfortable. Initially it wasn't but I kept riding it and very quickly it became so comfortable I didn't even know it was there. The big test was then a 250km journey and it was brilliant. The previous well ridden other saddle was never that good on such long rides. The other thing I noticed was how much I found myself moving all over the saddle allowing different riding positions which was great on long rides. Saddles are a personal thing and everyone is different but I have to say these are very good saddles.

It seems we are under pressure these days to have a lot of titles.
Online social media encourages us to sum up who are and what we do, often in a limited number of keystrokes. And it's gauche to just be one thing.
I've learned by living in the South that what you do isn't necessarily who you are. It may seem natural, upon meeting someone new, to keep the conversation going by asking the other person what they do.
This is appropriate at a networking event, but at a barbecue or other laid-back encounter it doesn't quite fit. So I ask people where they are from. Southerners, after all, are in tune with home, with a sense of place.
Plus, these days too many of us are unemployed. It might make someone feel awkward if they are looking for work and this complete stranger is asking him what he does for a living.
Online, though, you're supposed to cut to the chase. Here's a great example from an e-mail I received last week. I won't name this woman, lest she think I am poking fun.
Such and such is a "writer, public speaker, motivator, health activist, herbalist, single mother, and successful entrepreneur."
That's a lot of stuff. And that doesn't even tell me where she is from. Or who her momma is.
It makes sense, though. The way we work is changing. Doing 40 years with one company doing one job seems like a distant memory.
More and more, we're going to have to have multiple jobs to survive. We're going to have to create our own jobs to match our skills. We're going to have to figure out how to make money with the skills we have, independent of an employer.
I guess it's in my nature to make a joke out of the online identity thing, preferring to list "turn-ons" rather than 14 different quasi-occupations. But if I ever change my mind, maybe I should start sorting out my list.
Editor — Edit? Do I ever. Here and at home.
Writer — Write? Do I ever. I love it almost as much as I hate it.
Photographer — My first newspaper job involved four days as a reporter and one as a photographer. Today, I still take photos that we use at the Times-News. I also take photos at home when instructed by my head of household.
Educator — Well, I do teach my kids.
Volunteer — Hey, I do that, too.
Advocate — I have certain causes I believe in, and if any of you ever get stuck in an enclosed space with me you are liable to have to listen to me talk about them.
Public speaker — I do speak in public sometimes. I'm better at it than I used to be.
Planner — It takes a lot of prep work to live this life of mine.
Artist — Pretty open-ended, if you ask me. Something specific is more helpful — musician, poet, sculptor, painter.
Entrepreneur — Read these online profiles and you see this one used probably more than any other. We've got a lot of entrepreneurs these days. I suppose some have actually started businesses, others may have done something as simple as make a donation to a Kickstarter fund.
Parent — Am I ever. All hours of the day.
Son, brother, friend — Assuming these people will still claim me, yes.
Thought leader — Sometimes these things get into goofy territory.
Idea merchant — See above.
Stake holder — Can be about anyone with a pulse, near as I can tell.
