Bo can't believe the possibility that David is his son, Blair lashes out at John, Ray gives Marty advice, and Lola has a huge secret...
After Kyle informs everyone that David is Bo's son, David looks at Bo and says, "Maybe we should hug?" As David hugs Bo, Bo grabs him and screams, "This isn't funny, Vickers," to which David replies, "Buchanan, Dad." Wondering how this could be possible, Renee talks about the night of Bo's going away to Vietnam party, back in 1968, and how she brought Emma - who later hooked up with a drunken Bo! "You slept with my mother, and you don't even remember her name?" David screams, as Bo admits that he could very well be David's father! At the Buchanans persuasion, Kyle takes more DNA samples then David wonders how he would've turned out if he had known Bo. Though David begins to make a sentimental speech, he ultimately asks Bo to take care of a stack of parking tickets that he has, causing Bo to head out in disgust - but not before Clint says, "What you did in 1968 could end up saving our family."
Still at the Angels Square Hotel, Rex demands the truth! Though Roxy sees Blair and tries to stop her from going upstairs, Blair continues on - and Rex won't let Roxy off the hook. Roxy admits that she lied about David - only because he would be a better father than the one Rex has! Rex can't imagine anyone worse than David, but Roxy admits that Rex's father was a liar, one she hated! "That's why I…" Roxy says, and Rex pushes her to finish. "Your father is gone! He's dead… I killed him… Are you happy now?" Roxy claims she didn't have a choice, and that he threatened her, but she refuses to give Rex his name - for fear of losing everything she has and causing Rex more trouble. "I can see it," Rex says. "You're finally telling me the truth." Rex tries to get Roxy to open up, but she begs him to bury what he knows deep inside and never let it out! Rex realizes how desperate Roxy must have been and promises that he'll let the issue of his father go.
Later, at the diner, Rex joins Bo and asks, "Why couldn't you have been my father?" And Bo replies, "Why couldn't you have been my son?"
Back at The Angels Square Hotel, Roxy wipes away her tears, knowing she did the right thing - by making Rex believe his father was dead, when in fact he's walking around alive closer than he thinks!
With gloves on, John goes into Wes's room looking for clues to help Marty. Suddenly, Blair appears and wants to know what John's doing there! As talk escalates about Marty, John brings up Blair's night with Todd - and Blair insists that she never had sex with Todd. John believes her but asks for the same trust from Blair. Blair admits that she came there to apologize for the night of the Ball but then found him in Wes's room, realizing what a fool she is. "You told me that Marty wasn't going to come between us, and you chose me," Blair says, and John replies, "I meant it," but Blair accuses him of lying to himself! John admits to caring for Marty but claims Blair's jealousy is what is ruining their relationship. "I knew you tried to do right by me," Blair says. "But you could have admitted that your interest in Marty was more than that." Finally, John agrees to tell Blair the truth - and talks about when Marty was discovered alive - but Blair starts ranting again, and John says, "That's enough." "You're right," Blair replies, as she heads for the door " I need more than you can give me. I deserve more. You can go save Marty." John wipes a tear from his face, as Blair breaks down in tears outside of Wes's room.
Shortly after, Blair goes to the Buchanan mansion to find Dorian and breaks down in tears.
Markko finds Lola at the diner and finds out that Vanessa is in jail - and that Lola can't wait to see her father. However, when Lola wonders if her father even wants to see her, after putting him in jail, Markko puts a comforting hand to Lola's arm - and Lola seems to melt under his touch!
At the station, Antonio lays into Tea for using Cris to further her case! As Tea says that Cris had a choice, but fell for Vanessa, Cris interrupts, berates Tea then listens as Antonio explains that Vanessa has been coning guys for years. Though Tea continues apologizing to Antonio for what she did to his family, he excuses her and calls the jail to announce her soon arrival.
Downstairs in the jail, as Vanessa is brought in, Ray lashes out at her - wishing her all the best in prison. After Vanessa is taken away, Ray looks at Marty, who admits that they're in the same boat - both are being framed for murder. While talking about their cases, Marty admits that Wes made her realize that she was hiding her feelings for someone! As Marty expresses the frustration in not remembering, Ray gives her some advice - and asks Marty what she feels in her heart - then tells her to fight this herself!
Tea meets with Ray in the jail and informs him that he will not be extradited out of the country. As Tea and a guard are taking Ray upstairs for court, he stops to tell Marty that Tea is the best lawyer money can buy. However, Marty is familiar with Tea, but Ray reminds her to fight! Once Ray is gone, Marty asks the guard to do something for her.
When Vanessa is brought upstairs, Cris starts saying to Antonio, "I know I'm supposed to hate her, but…" Vanessa begins to apologize to Cris, but he informs her that he's filing for divorce. Vanessa agrees not to fight him on it. Just then, Ray is brought upstairs, and Vanessa says she'll always believe that he killed his wife - but Lola appears, demands she stop then tells her father how much she's missed him! Vanessa is taken away and extradited from the country!
While Antonio talks to Cris about the murderer of Ray's wife still being out there, Lola takes out a picture of her family and cries to herself, "I'm sorry, Poppy, that you had to pay for what I did to Mommy."
As John is leaving Wes's room, he gets a call from Marty, saying she knows she innocent, and asks for his help!

Sports Editor
CHAPMANVILLE – Marshall basketball coach Tom Herrion was upbeat about the Thundering Herd hoops team when addressing the Logan contingent at the Big Green scholarship luncheon on Wednesday at the Logan Country Club located in Chapmanville.
"We went a little sideways last year," Herrion said of his program. "We are going to correct that this year."
Marshall finished 13-19 last season and 9-7 in Conference USA.
Herrion and his staff have revamped the roster.
"We have had tremendous fan support and we want to give them a winning team," Herrion said. "We appreciate all that they do for us."
"The kids we are bringing in are talented, plus we have the three that had to sit out last season," the Herd coach said.
Marshall filled some of the holes by signing junior college transfers Shawn Smith, Cheikh Sane, Justin Edmonds and Jaylen Brantley, plus the Herd welcomes 2012-13 freshman academic non-qualifiers Ryan Taylor and Kareem Canty for 2013-14.
Players expected to return from last season are Elijah Pittman, Tamron Manning, DeVince Boykins, Yous Mbao and J.P. Kambola. Also, TyQuane Goard becomes eligible after sitting out as an Ohio University transfer.
Goard played at nearby George Washington High School in Charleston. He first attended Ohio University, but then transferred to Marshall.
Several other players have left the program.
"We're excited," Herrion said of the roster changes. "We have made a lot of personnel movements."
"I think this has re-energized our program," he added.
Herrion told a couple of jokes aimed at himself to start out his talk. He also mentioned his assistant coach Mark Cline, who played at Williamson High School. He said Cline always talks about the great rivalry between Logan and Williamson back in his scholastic days.
Herrion is in his fourth season as the head coach of the Thundering Herd.
Herrion's teams have a history of rebounding well, as they have ranked in the top 40 in rebounding in all three seasons including a ranking of eight in 2011-12. Marshall has ranked in the top 10 nationally in offensive rebounds per game in the past two seasons, third in 2011-12 and seventh in 2012-13.
In 2012, Herrion led Marshall to its first-ever Conference USA Championship game and first NIT appearance in 24 years. He is confident that the Herd will make great strides this upcoming season.

Love, love, love this wig and color.
By Brad

I have worn a wig for 10 yrs +, mostly Paula Young. The Coral, color 502B is perfect. My friends say the style and color are perfect for me. Hopefully Paula will make more short wigs in 502B.

About Me Budget Buyer
Love this wig, hope it stays around a long time. Purchased several to last a while. Size seems between average and petite, perfect for me. Very easy to wear without needing to fuss a lot. Wish you offered more blonde shades and also a blonde rooted version. Quality control and size seem to vary a bit. Overall very pretty and good value. Looks much nicer than my own hair EVER looked.
I now have 3 of this particular wig.
By Daisymae
from Madoc, Ont. Canada.
I use the product probably once a week. My hair is baby fine with a bald patch on top. A problem dating from menopause. The rest of the time I wear one of my large collection of funky hats. Recently dressed up for a charity dinner and auction. Rave reviews for the wig who no one even believed was a wig!

I just love this wig!
By Mim
from Schenectady, NY
I've always worn my hair in a short pixie style so, when my hair started thinning out and I realized I needed to get a wig, I was concerned I wouldn't be able to match the style. I didn't want something that screamed out "WIG". Coral fit the bill. Since I have a small face, I did have my stylist thin out the crown and trim a little bit of the length. I couldn't be happier with the result. It looks so natural; I've been told that it makes me look 10 years younger. The bangs hide the lines on my forehead and focus the attention on my eyes. I no longer avoid mirrors.

By Daisy

I love the style of the wig. Great quality. Unfortunately, the Average size just doesnt work for me. So many of the "short/pixie" style wigs are not available in Petite. Ended up my friend took the wig.

"I bought this glove for my 8 year old son. We play ball 365 days a year, so buying a good glove was a given. I played with a Gold Glove in high school, and would never buy anything different for my son. The only thing I had to do was relace where his hand slides into the glove to the tightest setting for his little hand. The glove broke in great with the pro-prefered break in kit. It breaks in with a nice round pocket. He has alot of confidence with it and makes incredible snags. I know from experience that it will last for a long time to come. WARNING......Don't hit it to second base. A gold glove stands there"

"The leather is impeccable. The feel exudes craftsmanship. This is one heck of a ball glove. The size is perfect for 3rd, SS and 2nd positions and makes scooping up hard grounders easy and fumble free due to it's shallow pocket. RawlingsGear customer service was excellent in helping me select this model and getting it to me in under a week's time."

After testing a free voice calling feature for its Messenger app in Canada recently, Facebook has quietly made the feature available in the U.S. as well–to iPhone users, anyway. Now, according to The Verge, iPhone users can make free calls using a WiFi connection, with no carrier data charges, or using their data plan.
It's hardly the first free voice calling app. Google Voice has offered this for a long time, and there's also Gmail Chat. Neither is limited to iPhone users or, of course, Facebook members. There's also Skype, which allows you to make free calls to other Skype users.
Given that most people with a cell phone have voice minutes by default, often so many that they don't end up using them up each month, this isn't something a lot of people are probably clamoring for. But for Facebook, it offers several benefits. In fact, it could provide nearly all of the benefits of the long-rumored Facebook phone–the notion of which was quashed by none other than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself last year:
* People will end up using Facebook more. In other words, it's one more way, along with yesterday's announcement of its Graph Search service, that Facebook is making itself not just entertaining, but useful. That's key to keeping the 1 billion-plus people from gradually wandering away from what is, for all its appeal, the biggest time-waster online.
* It's another mode of communications. And communications–that is, being social–is what Facebook is all about.
* It may be especially appealing to young people, who often have limited voice or data plans. And Facebook, whose membership now tends to be older than newer rival services, needs to keep young people engaged.
* It's a way for Facebook to make sure people turn to the company's apps on their mobile devices rather than to rivals'. Facebook has recently managed to ramp up its mobile ads, to as much as 20% of overall ad revenues. So this is less of a concern when it comes to making money directly through apps. But Facebook remains in catch-up mode in mobile–for pete's sake, its biggest project in years, Graph Search, has no mobile component at the outset. So it has to make sure it offers useful features, especially those native to smartphones and tablets, or it could gradually become less relevant to the rising number of people for whom the phone is their computer.
Nobody really needs an actual Facebook phone, because apps make every phone a Facebook phone. Free voice calling is just one way to make sure it remains that way.

Life Cube Inflatable Emergency Shelter Sets Up in Just 5 Minutes
Life Cube offers 144 sq ft of instant emergency space and requires no tools to set up. The shelter arrives in a crate made from post-consumer recycled plastic shipping pallets and can be rolled if necessary using these patented steel round frame inserts. Upon arrival to a safe location, the plastic pallets are removed and laid on the ground in a square with an entrance pad. We have to assume there are 4 panels stowed inside the 6 sided cube in order to make the full square base.
Then a CO2 canister included with the package inflates the canopy, which is manufactured by the Patten Company, who has made NAVY life-rafts for over 50 years. The inflatable canopy is made from polyester fabric that is tear-proof and fire-retardant and designed to withstand winds up to 50 mph. There are three doors, which allow multiple shelters to be lined-up and zipped together creating multiple rooms.

I hear you about the five minutes, but how long would it take an extremely right-brained blonde?

I suspect that the steel wheels attached could be reworked a bit. Even in the photo supplied they were coming apart at the seams. Under more duress they just wouldn't hold up. These wheels working are key to making this a viable option as the whole purpose of this project is to be mobile and convenient. I can't imagine them being of any use in a war/earthquake zone. Thick mud or or water would be the end of them. Something rust proof and long lasting is the ticket. Perhaps some thick rubber or even solid plastic rings that can be reused for some other function within the shelter after being used.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford's improbable political comeback is complete: the Republican trounced Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch in Tuesday's hotly contested First Congressional District special election.
The win means Sanford will return to the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives that he held from 1994 to 2002.
Sanford defeated Colbert Busch by close to 10 percentage points district-wide in a race that was called a toss-up in the days leading up to the election.
Sanford finished with an unofficial total of 77,466 votes district-wide (54.04 percent) compared to Colbert Busch's 64,818 (45.2 percent). Green Party candidate Eugene Platt had 690 votes, and 383 votes for write-in candidates were made.
Sanford's Berkeley County vote total was even more impressive.With 46 of 49 precincts reporting, Sanford has 15,094 votes (60 percent) to Colbert Busch's 9,493 (38 percent). Green Party candidate Eugene Platt has 146 votes (0.5 percent).
"The campaign at the end of the day was based on two very different ideas about what ought to come next in Washington, DC," Sanford said in his victory speech Tuesday night in Mt. Pleasant.
The victory, which garnered national media attention, means the start of a new political life for Sanford, whose final term as governor was marred by scandal.
Sanford opened his remarks with kind words for his Democratic opponent.
"I want to say thank you to Elizabeth," he said. "They ran a great campaign. I would give them compliments for a well run race."
Berkeley County voters were met with less than ideal weather conditions for much of Tuesday. "We've had a higher turnout than we did last time," Berkeley County Elections Commission Director Wanda Farley said Tuesday afternoon. "It's been steady all day and hasn't let up at all."

I've come to be sick to death of this kind of linear solo quest-grinding mob slaughter game but i like Allod's art style so much i'm enjoying it anyway.
The skill system is very good also allowing a lot of scope to customize your character. Adding more freedom here partially makes up for the linear quest path and is a lesson other game makers could learn from and copy imo.
ok i use the word review and i was wrong,still why make a impression if u just taste the game a few hours?...i know is just the first part but i challenge u to find a review/impression/look/opinion or whatever u feel like put in that space, that have more views on 2nd or 3rd part than 1st...still the open beta dont gonna be like a few weeks...it will be long...so imho this impression is not very usefull and feel a litte rushed ...and i will edit my post and change review for impression

Some people are interested in the initial feelings when coming into a game, people like reading experiences from others, everyone sees things in a slightly different way.
Just because you want to flame and dont think its useful, doesnt mean others think the same....
is not flame...belive me i want this game to be the wow killer(yeah thats impossible right now) i waited for the game to become open beta for weeks and before that i make a very decent research on the game...i even wait t 2 days so i will not be feel all lagged on the noob wave on the first days...and then i get the item shop news...if u wanna call me a flamer...or troll...be my guest...but i dont really want this game broke some players dreams as they find out the dark and greedy truth about the game...and the reality is this ga,me have some high expectations and i bet gpotato take that as advantage and rise the item shop prices at a dumb scale...have a more decent now but still the FoD penalthy is very stupid and some change the new patches have make the game a little more unbalanced...is a open beta..i cant expect perfection...but i really think gpotatop ruined the game "launch" as open beta on f2p are usually very long and sometimes feels like the launch of the game
i know this forums are full of hate and negative posts...and i feel bad as i become one of those...but...why all the greed???...who the hell gonna paid 40$ for a game monthly(cointing if u buy enough perfumes and the backpack only)...f2p never is really free biut shouldnt be more expensive as a p2p

As for first impression that was my first impression to, when i started Close Beta... Since then, I've been hanging on a very wobbly game...
1/3 of players have already quite and more and more do everyday... Bad rumors on the forum has well as on the zone chat makes ppl rethink if they really want to invest the time to lvl a toon. And if that's not enough there's a big number of ''speed hackers'' that infested the game...
So all in all this is a wait and see game it was supposed to be F2P game of the year. It now look's like uncertain game of the year... i guess we only have to wait and see if the dev's have balls or not.

The impression and preview is pretty much spot on:
The initial race select screen caught me off guard at first. It's barely worth mentioning, but the artwork here is akin to something from a loading screen, and it took me a few minutes to realize each of the drawings of the game's different races were selectable. This is neither here nor there, but really serves as just a warning if you're a little brain-dead like me.
I had the same issue. I sat there waiting for the loading screen to pass and after a long while couldn't understand what was happening. If it wasn't for me moving my mouse around to see if hte game froze I would never have "accidentally" moved it over the drawing only to see various parts of the picture light up.
And to me the art style was what sucked me in. Even though it can be a little cutsey. The game runs exceptionally smooth.
I have to admit that the issues with the cash shop put me off though. If I'm in a contested area, die and have to use these perfume things a lot that could get expensive. I realize you can get them in game but I was a bit leary of spending a lot of time on a character only to realize that going forth might require a dip into my wallet more times than I was willing to do. Hopefully they will get that sorted in a way that players feel comfortable with.
I'm playing this now as well. My first impressions is this is one VERY expensive free-to-play MMORPG, it shows in the quality and depth. I've seen a few bugs (empty dialogs, z-buffer fighting, etc) but overall it runs and plays quite well. We even did a raid with a bunch of level 5's. It was SOOOO cute!
On the other side, this game rides on rails. For some people, this is going to feel very restricting. From what I can see there are only 2 start towns (1 per faction), and gameplay is so linear that unless you complete the required quests you cannot even move to the next zone(?). Please don't flame me for saying so, but WoW is far more freedom oriented by allowing you to choose from multiple starting areas and quest zones (like Barrens vs Silverpine Forest).
When I was on it was jammed, and the servers held up nicely. You could see some rubber-banding and abrupt location corrections, but nothing game breaking.
I did get a kick out of the gold-spammers having already started. The ignore system needs improvement.
If nothing else, this gives ROM some competition.

"If you can''t laugh at yourself there''s always someone around to show you how it''s done!"
The fact Allods is such a high-production values game & is quite polished, well presented & performance is very decent are all parts of why the fanbase has become so passionate, it IS a quality game which is the exception rather than the rule in the F2P genre, & is a big part of why there was such an uproar at the item shop prices, players love the game & saw the item shop as what it was, a huge dis-incentive to game adoption.
Hopefully GPotato/GalaNet can pile on enough pressure to Mail.RU (the real power behind the scenes) to get them to see reason.
I have serious doubts though.

As for the article I agree with him 100% its exactly how I feel about the game.
I seem to have a problem with the game though, The preformance I get on my gaming PC is abysmal I dont get over 20 fps. Even lowering all the video options to the lowest possible settings nets me no improvement. I have a core i7 2.9ghz, gtx 285, 6 gigs ddr3 ram, vista 64bit, on the other hand my crappy laptop runs the game much better. I was informed that ddr3 ram may have bad memory leak, I havnt had time to research that yet. If I quit this game it will be because of the preformance issue.

The game itself is a great game. It looks good. The gameplay is fun. The instances aren't zerg fests like WoW. You actually have to do some CC if you want to get through it. I was impressed with the majority of the classes. All and all it really can be something special, but the two companies involved with the game (NA and Gpotato) are going to ruin the game. The cash shop debacle is well known and they are going to tone prices. That is all well and good, but now we have the developers of the game (NA) bringing us patches soon that will force us to deal with Fear of Death and the fact we MUST BUY perfume from the cash shop just to end game raid. This is a gamebreaker for many of us. NO game should force you to buy things from their CS just to compete in the game. They have lied to their customers. They said before that no one would have to use the cash shop to stay on even par with those that do. They said we would not be required to buy things from the cash shop to end game raid or pvp, but they are reneging on that and are making it so.
I truly cannot fathom why they cannot wake up and see what they have in front of their faces. They have a game that can truly compete with P2P MMO's. If they used their cash shop wisely instead of forcing people to use it to just play their game at higher levels then this game would be probably the best F2P MMO to date. Instead, they seem to not be able to get past their desire to make as much money off people as possible or they have a contract with NA that is so hardcore that they cannot make changes unless NA agrees and NA doesn't want to change things. The new patches coming from Russia will ruin things when implemented. Huge nerfs to almost every class, Fear of Death that can last up to 2 hrs. Perfumes are required to raid and pvp and only last for 30 minutes at a time. I just don't get the companies behind the game. It's either arrogance or stupidity. Maybe both.

kill them all
as someone who has been playing this game for a few weeks now and still keep getting chars to 10 and go ok what else do i want to play since i enjoy all the classes so far , yes i know wow 10 right but since im a flexabel player able to do any class better then most i just cant pick one yet since i like i said i enjoy all the classes . yes the quests are your basic go here get this and yes the FoD i hear sucks badly (wouldnt know havent gone pvp yet). as for the strain of the cash shop its insane right now way over board on the pricing 20 buck for 6 more slots for your bag...
but with that said all items that are on the CS are in game able to be quested for just dont expect it to be done in a few hours or a day maybe two or more depending on what it is , like for instance the bag that has 6 more slots ive notice ppl complaining about killing at least 600 mites and getting only 1 of the 3 mite shells while other seem to get them faster , not sure what the % rate would be on it just seams to be very very high.
as for a wow clone ive been around long enough in the mmo community to see wow had cloned other games and threw on a easy color by numbers paint job ( yes i know it was to keep system req down) other games had skill trees other games had two sides , so wowfanboys im sorry to say wow is a clone of many games just all threw in the same pot oh and if you want to know if i played yes i did for 5 years till my last friend stopped and so did i didnt even do any raids anymore just gave a helpin hand to others since wow made raiding something that kills friendships . so when i do hit end game here i hope the daily quest id have to do to be able to get in raid instances are worth it and dont blow up guilds and friends left and right
there is one major thing that i don't like about the game - and that is the length of combat. it takes "ages" to kill the most simplistic beast, at least at lower levels. never managed any char past lv8 or so, i just got too bored. Guess I am a victim of more fast paced combat.
oh, and as all freebees, the female characters tend to have less clothing resulting in more armor value.... interesting even, that if you choose to not display armor, some female races have stay-ups .... not that I mind being a guy, but really, what's the point.
another interesting small fact: anyone notice how both new gpotato titles start with an A, hence ending up on top of many game-listings.... clever. Not just them I guess. Aion, Aika, Allods, Alganon.
One of my biggest quirks is also one of the game's greatest qualities. What I'm talking about is the "Talent" system, which has you choose skills using talent points, rather than learning skills via a trainer. These skill choices are permanent, and while they offer a greater degree of control over your character, you don't get access to many of the skills needed to make leveling easier. This makes sense for pure DPS classes such as the trickster, which would be stupid OP with both melee and ranged skills, but as a healer, you can only go straight support with virtually no offense, or pure offense, with virtually no support, making leveling as the latter much more interesting than the former. Simply level as pure DPS and use the item shop to respec stats and talents.
People such as myself who would prefer to level as pure heals will find leveling slow and tedious and will be stuck in groups for leveling. Not necessarily a bad thing, but there are often times I don't want to group.

So you want to be able to play the game in it's entirity without paying the publisher/producer a single dime? I agree some criticism is needed here, but the target of that criticism is in real question.

We are star-stuff, the Universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out.
I guess the point of contention here is that
- it's supposedly a free-to-play, where you have the option of never paying
- Gpotato's officials assured you would be able to play without the CS.
Yes, yes, all f2p are designed to strongly encouraged you to buy. But they don't force, as in, there are other, slower ways to get the most-needed items than the cash shops.
It's the old trade-off of investment in time vs investment in money. Yes, even the strongest CS-"opponent" that gets all his "rez potions" (or any equivalent in your f2p of choice), will sometimes crack and buy them because it's faster. But he isn't forced to pay to play; that would be the definition of a p2p/suscription game.
Bottom line is, if you advertise your game as a f2p, yes, players should be able to play the full game forever without giving you a dime. Otherwise that's bad publicity and bad marketing.

im using the word "clone" just like trolls do as unrelated to the topic as can be, ppl throw the word clone around like its water and every thing is on fire , and for you to quote all i said im sorry if i up set you by callin out the wowfanboys but 9 times out of 10 it just some random wow player off to play something that looks like wow or has something in common with wow a wow clone even tho the word clone means and exact copy of a original so for anything to be a wow clone it would have to be a EXACT match to wow , most ppl would have taken what i said as my personal opinion with sarcasm in it

PIKEVILLE — An escaped inmate was returned to custody Thursday, after two months on the lam, when a caller reported two men lurking around a Pike County school.
Kentucky State Police received a call reporting two suspicious men had been seen at Jones Creek Elementary and had crossed the road, heading to the Pike County Landfill.
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement officer Sgt. Keith Justice responded to the scene, along with fellow CVE Officer Marty Combs. Upon arrival, they spotted the two men, who immediately ran away from the officers.
Combs found and arrested Jason Benton, 34, of Varney. Some time later, officers found and arrested Jeremiah D. Young, 24, of Phelps, who was wanted by police after escaping jail by walking away from a Pike County work crew Feb. 14. Both men were charged with second-degree trespassing and were lodged in the Pike County Detention Center.
Young was also charged with fleeing or evading police, being a persistent felony offender, menacing, disorderly conduct and second-degree escape.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
Since the formation of the State of Israel, tree planters have been busy creating forests in the holy land, which was a barren wasteland for centuries.
When spring arrives in the Negev desert, a natural wonder takes place, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

Honored to be a Torch Award finalistWritten by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Perseverance is a word that we are very familiar with. We are approaching our 15-year anniversary of joining forces and eventually becoming The Retirement Guys. As small-business owners, we've experienced lots of ups and downs. Both Mark and I vowed to each other that we would persevere to make our company work. We created our mission statement to help keep us focused on educating others while giving back to our community.
A few years ago, we decided to make a conscious effort to start an active community giveback campaign. Since then, we have really started seeing a difference for ourselves, our staff and our family of clients. Adding this program has shed a new light on our organization, which we hope never goes out.
On Nov. 6, we were one of three finalists for a prestigious Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Northwestern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan Torch Award, which recognizes businesses that make substantial contributions in marketplace ethics. We were truly honored to be among these outstanding companies that were nominated and awarded the 2013 BBB Torch Awards. We were especially honored to be there when Toledo Free Press was awarded the 2013 Media Award.
We know we must give thanks to our dedicated staff — David Macino, Barb Everly, Courtney Molnar, Tami Bombick, Andrew Nutter, Janet White and Dana Nehren — who serve our family of clients and freely participate in our community giveback campaign. Mark and I are so proud of all our employees for upholding such high ethical standards.
The BBB goes to great lengths to honor businesses that demonstrate the highest standard of business ethics and conduct. This year, the BBB celebrated its 12th anniversary of recognizing companies small, medium and large. The award also recognizes nonprofit organizations. The BBB had more than 100 applicants apply for its coveted Torch Awards.
Our entire staff attended the Torch Awards luncheon and we were humbled to look around at all of the wonderful business owners and employees who strive every day to maintain high ethical standards. We were honored to be chosen as a finalist for this prestigious award.
We look forward to continuing our quest to give back to the community in any way possible. We encourage you to learn more about the BBB, its Torch Awards and its ethics programs by visiting the BBB website at toledo.bbb.org.

|Electronic Drums All about Electronic Drums
|Thread Tools
Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
I'm a 29-year-old newbie drummer. I'm in love with the drums, believe it's obvious I have a talent for them, and intend to fulfill every ounce of my rhythmic potential despite my late start. When I'm not working, working out, eating or sleeping, it's a good bet that I'm practicing. I'm taking lessons and improving quickly.
So far, all I have in the way of equipment is a practice pad and three pairs of sticks. When I'm practicing beats that require more, I do what I'd imagine just about every drummer has done at some point and tap on whatever objects happen to be around me, assigning the role of ride cymbal to the arm of the couch, using my practice pad as the snare, etc. The coordination seems to transfer well to my teacher's acoustic set (which I only get to play on for 15 minutes or so once a week), though it naturally takes some doing to get used to the difference in volume.
It's way past time for me to get a set. I'm torn between electronic and acoustic. If I go with electronic, I'll be able to set the kit up in my duplex and play whenever I want without worrying about bothering the neighbors; however, my real goal is to be good at playing acoustic, and there seems to be a fair amount of controversy over whether the skills you pick up playing an electronic set--particularly one that is less than top-of-the-line--can be expected to fully transfer to an acoustic set. My favorite drummers are jazz drummers, and I want to learn the full range of jazz techniques. When you play with ultra-soft strokes, say with brushes, can most electronic sets even be expected to sense them? How good are electronic sets at picking up tiny variations in volume?
If I go acoustic, I'll need to rent a storage shed and set my drums up inside it. That'll limit my practice time severely, plus I'll need to spend time driving over there. There's also the fact that I'll be paying a monthly fee just for the right to practice.
I don't expect anyone to have any easy answers based on the info I've provided. Just throwing it out there to brainstorm a little. Thanks.
Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
The thing the e-kits dont really give you (in my experience) is tonal changes. Anywhere you hit, its "correct". On acoustic, not the case...gotta hit the right spot to get the right sound. E-kits handle dynamics pretty well though.
Excuse my post look. 90% chance I'm typing on a phone. My focus is the message not grammar.
Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
Electronic drums do a good job at being louder when you hit hard, and quieter if you hit it softer. But it obviously isn't going to be as accurate as acoustic. You can hit it pretty soft and still hear a sound, but there does come a point where it will not trigger if you hit it soft enough. In my opinion, that's softer than you'd ever hit the drums while actually playing though. I'm not sure about all the models, but some of the new roland drum sets are playable with brushes, although you do have to get a certain kind of brush. As you said, the more you're willing to pay for an e set, the better features you'll get.
If I were you I'd go play on one and see if you like it or not. Playing electronic drums can give you a couble bad habits, but if you have15 minutes to play on an acoustic set every week, I think that's enough to remind you what that feels like so your skills will easily transfer over between electronic and acoustic.
You can also convert an acoustic set to electronic. I've seen people selling them on eBay every once in a while.

Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
The e drums will give you 1000% more practice time. They did for me.
The timing skills certainly skills transfer easily to A's but you will have to learn the subtleties of the acoustics on acoustics.
Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
"I intend to fulfill every ounce of my rhythmic potential despite my late start"
LOL I recognise that! I went through this, bought an e-kit (Roland TD4KX) 2 years ago and a real kit (Yamaha Stage Custom) a few weeks ago. I think if you really feel that drumming is your mission in life, you will go acoustic anyway sooner or later. It's sexier, it's louder, it's more subtle, it's more in every way. An e-kit with an amp just isn't an acoustic kit. I don't want to insult the TD20s and TD30s among us or have the pretention I even know what they are like (I do know, price-wise), but what happened was I had a lot of fun on my e-kit and thought I was drumming until a friend let me play on his 15 years old Export and I discovered your left foot actually feels what the hi hat is doing, and unlike on the e-kit pedal, opening and closing at the right time is quite a handful! It's almost like playing golf on the wii versus playing golf for real. In other respects an a-kit is easier: the snare and toms are way bigger than the vdrums. I got this red haze in front of my eyes and I just had to get an a-kit... Since I bought my real kit, the Roland is just standing there picking up dust.
If, deep in your heart, you really want an acoustic kit, you will end up buying one anyway. Now you can either buy it rightaway and rent a shed, or buy an e-kit first and an a-kit some time later (and still rent a shed). Financially it's probably similar. Note however that like any digital equipment an e-kit loses its value pretty fast as opposed to an a-kit.
Buying an e-kit first will give you much more practice time. OK. An e-kit will NOT :
- teach you how to play the hi-hat properly (my TD4 won't, at least)
- teach you how to tune!!! (took me 3 weeks to complete only a first attempt to get a decent sound!)
- (more experienced drummers can probably add several other things here)
- make no noise at all! you definitely hear the kickdrum in every other room in the house.
I used to play the ekit in a small room in the basement that was not soundproofed at all. The wife told me she could hear the kick drum in the living room late in the evening.
I have now sound proofed the room as much as possible: double walls, double ceiling, double doors, I have painstakingly insulated the double doors so much it's hard to close them because of the air between them. I think I spent about as much on the soundproofing as on the e-kit. I played the a-kit this afternoon (not late evening OK), I think I was pretty loud but my wife said she had not noticed me. Food for thought, I hope.

Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
E-drums are expensive. You can probably get an awesome acoustic kit for the price of a mediocre e-kit. That said, I think the primary purpose of an e-kit is to allow you to play at home with minimum fuss, especially if you live in an apartment or have picky neighbours. If you can't play the a-kit at home, it's a situation where you might as well just rent a jampad once in a while to practice on an acoustic, since you have to travel anyway. My 2 cents.

Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
First .... what's your budget?
All the claims of e-kits having sensitivity and real feel come with a hefty price. I'd look for a cheap Roland/Yamaha second hand. If jazz is your love, you're gonna need/want the feel of an acoustic kit. But, you have to walk before you can run. A cheap e-kit will give you practice time over a much wider part of your day. Once you get the arms and legs working ..... get an acoustic snare. And if possible, a hi-hat and ride cymbal. Incorporate those into your e-kit, you'll get dynamics out of your practice (and hopefully, the neighbors will be cool). When you're ready to step into a full acoustic kit, your snare, hi-hat and ride move into it.

Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
My practice space is far from soundproof, fortunately with these it doesn't have to be.
To the OP- for once I'll have to side with the acoustics for your particular situation. Jazz is known for it's subtlety and nuance- two areas e-drums are sorely lacking in.
In any case, I would have thought that the volume you'll produce on an A-kit playing jazz (especially with brushes) wouldn't be that significant anyway (or maybe I'm making false assumptions here)?
Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
Nice little tool! Do you have one?
Other things that an e-kit does not teach you: (at least a 1150 Euro TD4 won't)
- Cross sticking: you just switch on "cross stick" mode, set the volume, then all you have to do is hit the rim softly (hitting it harder produces a rim shot).
- Rim shots: most e-kits like my TD4 can simulate rim shots but all you have to do is hit the rim only without hitting the head, which is obviously not as per reality.
And, really, the feel of a mesh head is just not the same as a real head.
Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
Totally agree with you on the other points you made about the short-comings of e-drums (fortunately I don't really utilise cross-sticking or rim shots in my playing- even my Roland PD-120 is crap at executing them).
As for mesh heads- definitely not the same feel as mylar but I'll take them over rubber or silicone any day!
Re: Another 'electronic vs. acoustic' thread
At least this is my experience too. If your goal is to develop your ability, then get an e-kit and practice at home. It is surprising how well they will help you with most aspects of drum kit practice (especially coordination, which is a really big area of learning when you start, and which you have already noticed is transferable). I practise so much more since I got mine 4 years ago. Whenever I have any free time, I just sit down and play!
That said, you will still need to learn the 'physical'/acoustic aspects of a real kit at some point (especially for jazz); but I think you will know when that is. As you play each week on your teacher's acoustic kit you will begin to notice the differences. Then at some point you will reach a level where you will realise that you're limited by the dynamic range of the e-kit. That's the time to invest in an acoustic kit.
There's my 2 cents. (Easy for me to say, I had acoustic kits for years, angry neighbours and limited practice time at home until the modern range of e-kits became available! I still play acoustic, but that my a-kit is in a rehearsal room 15 miles away).
Good luck.

Yadkin County has released its Annual Report to the People sharing details such as taxing information, agriculture and education.
The breakdown of the taxpayers dollars showed that 20 percent of taxes go to education, 11 percent goes to general government, 12 percent goes to debt services, one percent goes to cultural recreation, 33 percent goes to human services, 2 percent goes to economic and physical development and 21 percent went to public safety.
The top five taxpayers were Unifi, Inc., Chipita America, Duke Energy, Phillips Van Huesen and Lydall. There are two new additions to the top 10 taxpayer list: Parkdale America LLC and Nonni's Food Company. TWE Advance NewHouse and Yadkin Valley Telecom have dropped off the Top 10 list from last year.
The county reported that their taxes amounted to about $19 million in revenue for the county.
The report also announces the availability of free smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors from county fire departments. The detectors are made available through a grant from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
A limited number of detectors is provided per family and Yadkin County fire department staff will perform the installation of the device for residents.
The county increased from 9,500 to 9,800 in beef cattle, making it the eighth in the state. Dairy farming maintained a number three ranking in the state for dairy cattle and maintained 10,000 heads of hogs from 2011 to 2012.
Corn dropped from 14,000 acres in 2011 to 12,400 acres in 2012 and maintained the ranking of second in the state in grapes.
The county produced 18,300 acres of hay in 2012 versus 19,700 in 2011 bringing the county to the seventh hay producer in the state. Soybeans dropped from 26,000 acres in 2011 to 17,500 acres in 2012.
The annual report shows that the county provides approximately $7 million a year to local education capital and operations.
The Yadkin County School System serves approximately 6,000 students in grades pre-K through grade 12 in 14 schools. The county supports eight elementary schools, two middle schools, two traditional high schools, one alternative school and the early college.
According to the report, taxpayer dollars were used to produce and mail the report to Yadkin County citizens. The total approximate dollars spent on the report was about $2,075. The report shows that this is approximately 6 cents per individual citizen. There were 18,250 booklets printed, and 18,000 of those were mailed to residents' homes.
The total cost of the project was $15,632.50, but according to the report, $13,556.85 was paid for through the Get Alarmed Grant, an initiative to reduce residential fire injury and death in North Carolina.

Oscars 2013: Columbus-based data science firm predicts the Academy AwardsWritten by James A. Molnar | The Gold Knight | firstname.lastname@example.com
A Columbus-based data science firm is getting into the Oscar predicting game.
Using data and algorithms, a team at Farsite is putting its skills to the test for the biggest awards show of the year.
The team launched FarsiteForecast.com on Jan. 10, the day nominations were announced for the 85th Academy Awards. The site includes predicted winners in the top categories, along with the odds of each winning.
Leading the effort is Conor Gaughan, chief strategy officer at Farsite.
Writing multiple posts each week, Gaughan uses to compare topics like box office gross with Oscar success and ties between political themes with Best Picture nominees.
"It's a fun, different way to use all of the amazing data that's out there as it applies to the entertainment world," Gaughan said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star.
"When we looked at the landscape for 2013 and what was coming up … the Oscars is such a pivotal pop culture event," he said. "We thought what better way to talk about the media and entertainment industry and pop culture trend … and apply this really important, burgeoning technology around data science to help people learn about data science in a way that's fun and interesting."
The races
In the lead for Best Picture is Ben Affleck's film "Argo," according to Farsite's data as of press time (see charts to the right for full predictions).
Gaughan said another Oscar race is also interesting.
"The Best Supporting Actor race is turning out to be one of the closest," he said. "Although, I think when we look back after the Oscars, folks are really going to find the Best Picture race to be one of the most interesting we've had in the last 10 or so years."
"Lincoln" was originally seen as the Oscar front-runner, especially after Affleck was not nominated for Best Director.
However, Gaughan points to recent entertainment guilds that have honored Affleck and "Argo," showing a swell of support for the director and his film.
"Best Picture has been the most active race, particularly following the last two weeks," Gaughan said, referring to recent wins for "Argo" at the Producers Guild Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Directors Guild Awards.
"From early in November through a week and a half ago even two weeks ago, 'Lincoln' has stayed pretty consistent — not just as a leader, but pretty consistent from a probability perspective — in the race leadership role," Gaughan said. "It wasn't really until, frankly, the Producers Guild Awards that 'Argo' had a spike."
The forecast for an "Argo" win is 42.1 percent, with "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Amour" rounding out the top three ("Lincoln" has 9 percent).
Other races Farsite is predicting include the directing and acting categories. Steven Spielberg is leading the directing race with 81.8 percent. Daniel Day-Lewis (Best Actor), Jennifer Lawrence (Best Actress) and Anne Hathaway (Best Supporting Actress) look poised to win their respective categories by large margins. In the Best Supporting Actor category, Christoph Waltz has a 1.4 percent lead over Tommy Lee Jones.
Founded in 2007, Farsite works in a number of industries and uses data to help companies improve their bottom lines, said CEO Michael Gold.
"First and foremost, we're a data science firm so our company takes big data and builds a predictive and advanced analytic model to empower companies to make decisions to improve revenue [and] decrease cost," said Gold, 32, who has been with the company since its founding.
Gold said predicting the Oscars was Gaughan's idea; it was a way to demonstrate Farsite's value to the entertainment industry.
"When I came on board to Farsite and joined Michael's team, one of the things I wanted to do was help bridge these two worlds," said Gaughan, 32, whose background is in the media and entertainment business. "This seemed like the perfect project to do it."
Many have asked what the "secret sauce" is to Farsite's predictions.
"We have 80 years of movie data and 40 years of Oscars-specific data," Gold said. "A part of that is who has won in the past, total nominations." Real-time feedback and buzz is also used, he said.
"Sometimes, momentums shift throughout an awards season," Gold said. "I think we're definitely seeing that this year between 'Argo' and 'Lincoln.'"
Once the Oscars are over, Gaughan said Farsite may try to tackle other projects such as March Madness.
Gold said forecasting the box office take for movies would also be coming up on the site.
The trend
Farsite is not the only company doing data-driven predicting.
Most recently, New York Times blogger and statistician Nate Silver correctly predicted the results of the 2012 presidential election, after a year full of statistics, polling and number crunching.
Now the team at Farsite is looking to see how it fares come Oscar Sunday.
However, an Oscars expert cautions about the use of stats to predict the race.
"They only take you so far," said Sasha Stone, founder of AwardsDaily.com; Stone has covered the Oscars race season-by-season for more than decade.
"Every weird year carries its own precedent," she said in an email. "Like you can't say, 'No way will "Argo" win because it will have to make history three different ways to do so.' But if it does make history it becomes its own stat.
"History around the awards race has evolved so dramatically that you really can't compare this year with even 10 years ago," she said. "Human emotion is always unpredictable at the end of the day."
On Feb. 24, Oscar fans and Farsite will learn how predictable the Oscars can be.

GVW Fire Chief Phil Napier won the Republican primary, and likely the Aiken County Council District 6 seat, after securing more than 51 percent of the vote Tuesday.
Napier won over Republican challengers Lynette Barton and John McMichael by securing the required 50 percent-plus-one-vote total for an outright win.
McMichael had a strong showing in the City of Aiken, but Napier overwhelming took the smaller communities, including Graniteville, Warrenville, Vacluse and Breezy Hill.
Barton registered fewer than seven percent of the vote.
"I got out and I worked, I worked hard," Napier said. "I had a lot of people working for me, and I'd like to thank God for backing me."
Small-business owner and fireman Napier has a long history of public service, including a previous stint on Aiken County Council.
"I want to be a mouthpiece for the taxpayers of Aiken County," he said, speaking moments after the final votes were counted.
Napier and Barton both seemed thrilled with the result, sharing several hugs and much laughter as the precincts reported at the Aiken County Registration and Elections office.
"I'm so happy that Michael didn't win" said an excited Barton.
"Are you as happy as I am?" Napier then asked Barton before hugging her.
McMichael may have been beaten, but he was still considering another shot at the District 6 chair, Tuesday evening.
The insurance salesman said he was going to talk with supporters and family about the possibility of a campaign as an independent.
He did, however, express congratulations to Napier for the win and commented on the exceptional name recognition the primary winner had in Aiken County.

Had Google wanted Siri as a selling point, they would have made overtures to buy Siri themselves. As we know now, however, Google had been working on technology to back Google Now well before Siri's public release, at least since the days of their 411 service.
So V-Siri would not have been a selling point for Google, but for Verizon. It would have become some secondary partial solution like S-Voice, except that Verizon would have been more aggressive favoring V-Siri over Google Now on Verizon handsets, creating a big cluster@#$.
If anything, Apple did Google a favor buy taking this possibility away from Verzion.
