You get three sets of rubbers for the headphones, so you should be able to find a set the fits your ears comfortably. I found that the smallest set were perfect, and I was able to use the EP-630s for several hours without my ears aching. Headphones like this do take a bit of getting used to though, since you feel a kind of pressure at first, like you're under water, but if you can get past that you'll never look back.
Sound quality from these little babies is superb. Whereas the Stealths provided clear sound while cutting out most of the background noise, the EP-630s produce a far fuller sound envelope. The bass that was lacking from the Stealths is here in abundance, but there's no muffling of the higher frequencies as a result. Since using these headphones I've found that I have my iPod set to a far lower volume setting – the background noise is almost non existent, while the music feels like it's being injected straight into my brain.
Even when I'm using these headphones with my Sony PSP or Nintendo DS, the results are first rate. But coupled with my black iPod nano, it's a match made in heaven – I get great sound quality, matching black finish and everything's small enough to fit snugly in my trouser pocket.
As I mentioned earlier the EP-630s cost a fair bit more than the Stealths, but to be fair that's more a testament to how cheap the Stealths are, rather than the Creative EP-630s being expensive. At £19.99, the EP-630s are worth every penny and you're not likely to find a better set of in-ear headphones for this kind of money.
The Creative EP-630s are the best in-ear headphones that I've ever used. At just under £20, they're not the cheapest you can get, but if you're looking for a good upgrade to the bundled headphones that came with your MP3 player, check these out.
I recently picked up these after reading your review for under $13 USD, and they just sound brilliant.
The bass is exceptionally clear and punchy and doesnt drag along like some other more expensive sets.
The clarity on these babies is truly wonderous considering the dirt cheap price i payed for them.
I use a sony walkman NW-A1000 and the bundled ear-buds are pretty decent, well above the crappy apple earphones..but after using these, i've neatly tucked those away in a box, and i feel i can never buy earphones that aren't in-ear type again. I can't wait to try these with the black Sony NWZ-A829, which i plan to buy soon.
I got these headphones back in dec 2006 and since I have been using NOTHING ELSE!
The sound being injected into your brain, is just the right way to put it.
My EP 630 sadly passed away dec 2009, and I have been looking for something to replace them with since. But I think I'll have to buy a new pair of these beauties.
After 3 years of direct sound injection into my brain, I'm looking forward to 3 years more. I can recommend the EP 630 if it wasn't allready obvious!
These earphones came bundled with my laptop. The sound was so good that i started using them with all of my gadgets(mobile, ipod, etc). After ~2 years of usage, the left earphone would not work(thanks to my rough handling). I needed a new pair of earphones and I purchased another creative EP 630 without the slightest hesitation. It costed me 1000 Rupees(I would have even paid more considering the sound quality they offer). I highly recommend these earphones to anyone looking for a great sounding in-ear phones but not willing to shell out a lot of money.
Just bought these pair of earphones. The sound was good, bass was really deep, and it isolated noise very well. It's also comfy and lightweight, like it said on the packaging. It's design is pretty nice too. The price is also reasonable.
Hope this is durable, and can last me for quite some time. I previously bought a pair of earphones and the right side of the earphone became spoilt just a month after I bought it. It's probably due to my abuse of the pair of earphones, but I don't know. :/

A really Bad Poem.
I think that life is for experience, Keir
I don't want to stop you from living.
I just hope you remember
What you mean to me.
You're more important than (John Green) books or nebulas,
More beautiful than classic-rock gods and indie stars.
I would choose you over my computer any day,
Over my paint and music and guitars.
I would choose you over all the bananas,
Over Alex Turner and Joshua Third combined,
Over all the shows on the BBC,
Even over Sherlock season 3.

When it comes to interest rates on credit cards, lower is always better. The higher your interest rate, the more money you're at risk of owing if your balance grows out of control.
Unfortunately, credit cards with low interest rates aren't very popular with banks. But that doesn't mean a low interest rate credit card is impossible to find. Quite the opposite.
There are many low interest credit cards out there. These can range from balance transfer cards that offer 0% APR for a period of time up to cards with 10% purchase rates. The card you decide on ultimately will depend on what you need the most for your finances right now.
We've scoured the web to find out which are the best low interest rate credit cards out there:
Best Low-Interest Credit Card For Paying Off Debt
Chase Slate® Credit Card
If you're looking to consolidate your debt, the Chase Slate® credit card is a great option. With this card, you can get 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers for 18 months. And if you make your balance transfer within the first 60 days, you get it for no fee.
With 18 months at no interest, you have a year and a half to put payments down on your debt that go straight to the balance. That's an excellent way to chip away at large credit card debt.
How Interest Charges Keep You in Debt
With credit cards, interest is the culprit that holds you in debt. If you didn't have those ever-mounting charges, you'd be able to pay down the balance faster. Credit cards that offer temporary 0% APR introductory periods can be used for balance transfers. That means you can move your debt from one credit card to another to pay it off faster. These introductory periods usually range anywhere from 6-24 months.
Unlike purchases, balance transfers can accrue interest immediately. That's in addition to a fee of up to 3% of the transferred amount. Some cards waive this fee during an introductory period, while a rare few such as Chase Slate® waive balance transfer fees altogether.
Credit Scores Needed for a Balance Transfer Credit Card
The ideal card for debt payoff would have a 0% APR introductory period and no balance transfer fee. This type of balance transfer credit card tends to require relatively good credit. A good credit score, as determined by FICO ranges from 700 to 749 out of 850.
Good credit does not mean an absence of debt. If you have not defaulted on any loans, you can still score well. Even carrying large amounts of debt load won't hurt your chances of approval. Keep your credit usage to less than 30% of your total credit card limit to keep your credit score high.
Balance transfers can be initiated as soon as you qualify for the new credit card. The actual transfer takes 7 to 10 business days to complete. To ensure maximum effectiveness of a balance transfer, you should avoid making new purchases or cash advances on the credit card. Those will not only come at a different interest rate than the transfer, but they can also cause you to grow the balance you're trying to shrink.
Balance transfers can be used to consolidate other kinds of debt (e.g., student loans, personal loans, etc.) in addition to credit card balances. Card issuers may occasionally send balance transfer checks that can be used to pay off other debt with your card. (These will still be subject to the 3% fee, which could negate the benefits of a balance transfer). Theoretically, you can continue to roll over your debt to new credit cards with balance transfers again and again. Some people do this to extend the period they have to repay the debt at a lower interest rate.
If you're thinking of a balance transfer, keep one thing in mind. Some cards will charge the new rate retroactively on your remaining balance when the introductory rate expires. This could cost you big on the progress you made paying off the balance up until that point. Therefore, if you know you'll need another balance transfer, take care of it before that introductory rate officially expires.
Lowest Interest Rate Credit Card For Excellent Credit Scores
Simmons Bank Visa® Platinum for the lowest APR
There is one credit card at least that offers no balance transfer fees and has a low purchase interest rate. Plus, there's no annual fee. That's the Simmons Bank Visa® Platinum card.
But you should note, Simmons Bank only accepts applicants with excellent credit. (For example, a score of 750 or higher.) For some, it may take a few years of working on their credit to qualify for this card.
Rules that Affect Credit Card APRs
Although there are no federal laws limiting credit card interest rates, state laws might cap these rates. Generally, you won't find a credit card with an interest rate higher than 29.99%. That also happens to be the rate commonly used as the penalty APR. The penalty APR is the new (higher) rate you would get if you miss a payment or exceed your credit limit.
Under federal law, credit card companies must show the card's APR on its terms and conditions. Card applicants with high credit scores tend to qualify for the lower end of the APR range.
Low APR credit cards may charge less interest, but they don't usually offer rewards. Great rewards credit cards will have programs that offer cash back, points, and miles, but their APRs will be a little higher. If rewards are mainly what you're looking for, this is something to consider.
Best Card for Bad Credit Scores
First Progress Platinum Prestige MasterCard®
If you don't have outstanding credit and want a low interest credit card, there is a great option for you. That's The First Progress Platinum Prestige MasterCard® Secured Card.
This is a secured card and therefore doesn't require outstanding credit. And it offers a respectable APR of 11.99%, lower than most other secured credit cards. It does, however, come with an annual fee of $44. This is not uncommon for a secured credit card.
Secured Credit Cards with Low Interest Rates for Bad Credit
The alternative for people with bad credit is a secured credit card. The type of credit card represented by First Progress Platinum Prestige MasterCard® can be used for purchases in the same way as any other regular credit card. The only difference is this card (and all secured cards) requires a security deposit as collateral. Normally, the amount of the security deposit is the amount of the card's credit limit. Your credit limit, in addition to all activity with the secured credit card, is reported to the credit bureaus. If you practice positive credit behavior, this will help you build or repair your credit.
Qualifications for secured credit cards are less reliant on your credit score. Indeed, your credit report may not even be pulled in your evaluation for these cards. After 6-12 months of having any credit card, you could call your bank to negotiate a lower APR. As long as you've shown responsible usage of the card along with on-time payments, this could work. Card issuers are more likely to decrease your interest rate if your credit score has improved since you got the card.
How Credit Card Interest is Calculated
Even the lowest APRs on credit cards may appear high compared to the interest rates on other types of loans. The reason is because credit cards are not tied to any form of collateral. (Unlike the homes and vehicles that are financed by mortgages and car loans that can be taken by the bank in case of default).
The APR for your credit card can vary depending on your credit score. The higher your credit score, the lower your interest rates.
It should also be noted the credit card interest rate that you end up with is calculated by the card company's formula. Most commonly, card companies start with The Wall Street Journal's Prime Rate. Then, depending on your creditworthiness, card issuers adds a certain percentage to that rate. The riskier you are as a borrower, the larger the amount that is added to the Prime Rate.
Using Your Credit Card to Improve Your Credit Score
Bad credit, excellent credit, no credit or digging out of debt. Opening one of the above credit cards can be a perfect opportunity to building your credit. Keep some of these tips in mind:
1. Use Credit Cards like Debit Cards
Naturally, debit cards and credit cards differ in one basic way. With the former, you're spending money you already have in your checking account. For the latter, the money you spend is not yours; it's borrowed and must be repaid. The difference between how the two card types work is what causes credit card debt to get out of control. Sometimes, people forget how much they've charged to their credit card.
One solution is to treat your credit card as you would a debit card. Before swiping your credit card, ask yourself one question. "Would I be able to afford this purchase on my debit card without going overdraft?" Make a habit of this, and it keeps your credit card balance low, and easier to pay off. It also maintains a low credit-to-debt ratio. Each of these things reflects positively on your credit report.
2. Make Smaller "Micropayments" Each Month
There doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing approach to paying off your credit card bill. Paying it off in full each due date is recommended. Making partial, late, or zero payments isn't ideal. One way to make your balance work to the benefit of your credit is to make smaller payments throughout the month. These payments (also called micropayments), can lower your debt utilization ratio. At the same time, they keep a healthy amount of active credit on your card.
This will also show up on your report as evidence that you're using your credit card responsibly. Time your payments so that you've paid off your full balance by the end of the billing cycle.
3. Ask for More Credit
Asking for a higher credit line does not necessarily result in more debt. While you'll always want to keep your debt utilization on the lower end, increasing your credit limit can help boost your credit score. That's because it shows your credit card provider that you can manage a higher balance. Plus, those low-interest rates stay where they are.
However, if you request an increase, the application process includes a hard check to your credit. This can ding your score - not a good idea if your credit is low. If you're confident that it's in good shape, go for the higher credit limit. The good thing about it is that it not only can boost your credit, you're not obligated to utilize all of it.
4. Be Predictable
Don't go overboard with too many changes to your credit profile. Opening too many accounts or asking for too much credit may make you look like a risky borrower to your lender.
Keep things predictable. While you shouldn't open too many new accounts, don't close any old ones. Also, don't use one credit card only and neglect the others. Instead, find an even balance between all your accounts. Despite the attractive interest rates and bonuses built into the cards above, it's unwise to sign up, get your perks, and close out your card. That can make a bad impression on your card provider, but also your credit.

I've come to realize over a period of time that there are different levels and kinds of funniness. What one person will double-over laughing at might not even bring a smile in another person or worse make them mad. Here are a few examples that you might have experienced before.
Years ago my sister, Mary, who's from Louisville, met one of my friends from the factory that I worked at in Danville.
They'd been talking for a while when suddenly the friend realized that Mary was my sister.

This passion is also reflected in the role he played in the pre-production of "Golden Door", a film by Emanuele Crialese that won a Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2006.
Charles Rosier studied at Paris' Fénelon Sainte-Marie Lycée (secondary school) and, in 1991, took a scientific baccalaureat (A-level equivalent). After completing the two years of preparatory classes necessary to access the French "Grands Ecoles", he took a degree at ESCP Europe. He speaks French, Spanish and English, and he is learning Portuguese.
Charles Rosier's first step on the career ladder was a position at Lehman Brothers in 1996. He then went to work for UBS Warburg as Manager for the Debt Capital Markets Division in 1997. He was responsible for the French-speaking markets of France, Belgium and Quebec. Offered a job by Goldman Sachs in 1999, he finally joined the bank in 2009 as Managing Director of the Financing Group. He was in charge of capital markets and derivatives. Charles Rosier became a partner at the Brazilian bank BTG Pactual, in 2010, following a merger between the BTG group and Pactual. He was hired to help the Brazilian bank emulate their home success on an international level by developing international relations with Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

These people were strange looking, they have no clothing or hair, but I guess they dont need clothing if they dont have genitals to hide, we traveled through the forest to get to thier village, on the way they told me the names of the fruit I ate, and they showed me some of the wildlife. It was two hours of walking until they told me we were going to take a break, we were at a river with a steady stream of water flowing. I sat for was probly only five minutes before we continued walking deeper into the forrest, after about an hour and a half i saw the end of the forrest coming up when we reached the end I saw tall green hills with white and pink flowers on them, i leaned down to pick one of the flowers, and a hand grabbed my arm "these flowers are never to be touched." I nodded in agreement, but stared at them intently "okay everybody we will have to go around the flowers." the leader of the group simply said. Everybody agreed and we walked around the pink and white flowers, i couldn't help but think that these flowers are special, maybe they are very rare and they are trying to repopluate them so they cant go extinct. The whole time we were walking they made very friendly conversation , and always offered water or fruit so I wouldnt go hungry.right on the other side of the flowers was a city, and as we got closer I could see what kind of people I was dealing with.

Read an Excerpt
By CYNTHIA EDEN
BRAVA BOOKSCopyright © 2009 Cindy Roussos
All right reserved.
Chapter OneHaving a breakdown in the middle of a live broadcast was really not a very good thing for a reporter's career.
Holly Storm's fingers tightened their already white-knuckled grip around the microphone. Her breath came too hard and way too fast as she fought to hold on to her control.
"Holly ..." The reed-thin voice of her producer.
Shit. Her career was about to hit the toilet. She dragged her gaze away from the body-away from the body that she knew didn't belong to a human-and glanced back toward the round lens of the camera. "Uh ... I'm ... H-Holly Storm, reporting to you live from the scene of-" A freaking slaughter. "A brutal ... murder." Yeah, brutal was a good word choice considering the way the poor guy had been sliced to ribbons.
Get a grip, girl. She couldn't afford a meltdown right now.
After a hard swallow, she finally managed to suck in a full breath. Holly cleared her throat, then spoke in that calm, cool voice she'd perfected back in her college communication classes so long ago. "Police aren't talking ..." At least not to her. But then, the two detectives on the scene-Colin Gyth and Todd Brooks-weren't exactly on her "friends" list. "But this reporter can't help but wonder just what sort of monster is looseon our Atlanta streets." There was a growl to her right. Her gaze darted over, just for a moment, and she met the bright stare of Detective Gyth.
Screw him. Her chin lifted. "Reporting live from a downtown scene of death, this is Holly Storm, signing off."
The camera lens watched her for a silent moment. Then ...
"Christ, Holly, you think that was a little dramatic?" Ben Blake muttered, lowering the camera from his shoulder. His Braves hat, the one the guy always wore, rain or shine, night or day, rested high on his head. A line of stubble lined his jaw.
"Dramatic's good," she told him, aware that while her voice was cool, her heart thundered hard enough to shake her chest. "Drama gets folks to forget about their crappy days and pay attention to the news."
"Are you okay?" The quieter, and no longer panicked, voice of her producer asked. "Not everyone is cut out for these kinds of stories."
Her shoulders, already straight, stiffened even more. No way was she about to be yanked off this story. Her last encounter with the Other-the supernaturals who walked the streets acting like humans and hiding behind magic-had left her with singed hair, a body full of bruises, and the acid of fear on her tongue.
But she wasn't the running-and-hiding type. Okay, fact one: Monsters existed. Fact two: Those monsters scared the hell out of her. Fact three: If she wanted to work in this town, and she did, then Holly was gonna have to learn how to live with the darker beings that stalked the streets.
"I'm fine, Mac." McArthur Phillips was a news veteran. Once an anchor for News Flash Five, the sixty-three-year-old had turned his attention to bossing folks around in his producer gig. Not that Mac looked sixty-three. The guy worked out four times a week to keep his body in top "anchor" form and his black hair was only now starting to gray.
From what Holly could tell, Mac was one of those guys who generally spoke softly, but could rip the flesh off anyone who got in his way with just a few careful words. Probably a leftover trait from his army days. She knew the guy had served back in Vietnam. She'd heard more than a few of his stories before.
"Don't lie to me." Still soft, but with a hard rasp beneath the words. "You looked pale as death for a minute there. A reporter fainting on camera-"
"Would be a major ratings score," Ben cut in, tugging his hat down a bit as a smile curved his thin lips.
Holly glared at him. "Right, because I want to be known as the Fainting Flash Five girl." Asshole. She liked Ben, really did, but sometimes he could piss her off.
Holly's nose wrinkled. Oh, dammit, she could smell the blood.
"Well, if you're not goin' to faint, then get your ass over to those cops and find out just what the hell is goin' on," Mac growled.
Her back teeth locked. The cops had already said there would be no interviews. At least, no "official" ones. A girl had to try. Holly shoved her microphone toward Ben. "Be back in ten." And hopefully, she'd be back with a story.
Holly turned on her heel. Zeroed her sights on the detectives. They were talking to a uniformed cop. Faces intent. She slipped under the yellow police tape, then crept toward them, hoping to overhear-
"Ms. Storm, just what the hell do you think you're doin'?" Colin Gyth demanded, blue eyes glittering down at her. His arms were crossed over his rather impressively muscled chest. "This is a crime scene." He grabbed her arm and hauled her back toward the tape, ignoring her outraged yelp. "If we wanted reporters screwing up the evidence, there wouldn't be a damn barrier set up."
A flimsy barrier. He pushed her under the tape, shook his head, and frowned down at her. "Hell, woman, didn't you learn your lesson the last time?"
Learn her lesson? What was she, a two-year-old? "What I learned," she pitched her voice low, knowing others couldn't overhear this, "is that this town has a lot of deadly secrets." She pointed toward the body. "Looks like you've got someone hunting demons."
His eyes widened. "What?"
Uh, oh. The detective hadn't known-
He was under the tape and beside her in less than two seconds. For a big guy, he could sure move fast. "What did you just say?"
Holly licked her lips. The detective was intimidating as hell with those dark features and the glinting edge of teeth that looked a bit too sharp and-
"She said the victim wasn't human." The cold, slightly mocking voice had every nerve in Holly's body tensing. No, shit, not-
She and Colin turned together and met the coal-black stare of Niol Lapen. It was just after dusk, and the dark shadows gathered around him, wrapping over the tall, muscled length of his body.
He strolled toward them, power evident in his every rippling move. His face, a face that Holly figured most women would find attractive-not her, of course, but most women-showed no hint of emotion. But then, she'd rarely known Niol to bother much with emotions.
Midnight-black hair swept back from his high forehead. The guy really had perfect features, aesthetically speaking anyway. High cheeks, square jaw, long, straight nose, and lips that were-
Not for me. Holly jerked her gaze back up to his black eyes and away from the lips that she was not the least bit interested in. She needed to focus on his eyes-because it was the eyes that told the true nature of the man. Or, in Niol's case, the true nature of the demon.
Because Niol Lapen was a demon. Probably the strongest and most dangerous demon she'd ever met, and she wasn't going to forget that fact.
Or the fact that she was pretty sure he'd killed a man the last time they'd met.
His gaze swept past her. Holly followed his stare and saw that the body had been covered with a sheet. About time.
"How did you get here so fast, Ms. Storm?" Niol's voice, harder now, dark and demanding.
Her eyebrows shot up. Just what was the demon implying? "I was covering a story two blocks over. I followed the sirens." Okay, probably not her classiest moment, but she'd landed an exclusive.
And stumbled onto a scene that would give her nightmares for a week.
Not now. She couldn't let this get personal now.
But dammit, why him? He'd been a good guy, harmless. He hadn't deserved terror and death in a dirty alley, behind a strip club for God's sake.
"Fuck that." Colin stepped toward Niol. "You knew the victim?"
"Um." Neither agreement not denial.
Colin's hands clenched. "Don't play with me, Niol. If you'd seen the way the poor bastard was slashed-"
"I did."
Colin stiffened. "You didn't-"
Niol laughed, a rough, dry sound, and his gaze returned to Holly. "I didn't kill him. One of her kind did." What? Her kind? What was he-
"Come with me. Now." Colin pointed at her. "And as for you, Ms. Storm, stay away from my crime scene."
Niol's gaze raked over her, for just the briefest moment, darting from her head to her strappy black shoes, and Holly shivered. Dangerous.
But, dammit, sexy.
Focus. "You can't just shut out the press, you know, detective. The public has a right to know-"
Niol shook his head. "Still playing that song, Holly?" Holly, not Ms. Storm any longer. And his voice was different too. Husky. Rough. The voice a man would use in bed. Goose bumps rose on her uncovered arms.
"I don't know-"
"You knew he was a demon." His lips twisted and those soulless black eyes bored into her. "He was one of your sources, wasn't he?"
No way was she going to answer that question, even if the dark demon before her was right. Carl Bronx had been one of her sources. She'd talked with him more than a dozen times. He'd been young, a little over twenty-one, with a ready smile and a dimple in his chin.
No. She would not think about him. Thinking about him and realizing that sweet Carl was the guy who'd gotten sliced to bits, well, that had almost caused her on-camera breakdown.
Niol stepped toward her and brushed the back of his hand over her chilled arm. "You're not as hard as you pretend to be," he whispered. "Pity." His breath stirred the hair near her cheek.
Holly blinked back the tears that stupidly filled her eyes because even though the sheet was over him, in her mind, she could still see Carl's bloody body.
Niol shook his head. "You're out of your league. Go home, Holly. Back to your safe world." He stepped back. "Leave the demons and the death to me."
The guy couldn't have given her a more clear dismissal.
Holly watched Niol turn and stride with Colin toward a patrol car.
Oh, yeah, that had been a rather nice "Fuck off."
Unfortunately for the demon, she wasn't the fucking-off type.
"Didn't get the story, huh?" Ben asked, coming to stand at her side.
Holly didn't take her gaze off the strong lines of Niol's body. He leaned against the blue-and-white patrol car, his arms loose at his sides. "Not yet."
"The cops will release a statement later, no big deal-"
"It is." Carl had been important. One of the good guys-uh, demons. He hadn't deserved an ending like this. Hell, no one deserved a death like this.
Carl had trusted her with his secrets.
She wasn't going to slink away from his case. Sure, she knew the routine-don't let the stories get personal. Every reporter's mantra.
But it was too late. This kill, it was personal.
She wasn't about to back off.
Niol and Colin were talking, lips moving fast, but the words were far too soft for her to hear. After a moment, Niol inclined his head and marched away from the detective. Colin looked furious, his face tight and his body stiff.
Holly knew she wasn't going to be getting any help from the cop.
Niol headed toward the waiting shadows.
But the demon ...
He was a whole other story.
Her breath hitched as a spike of excitement had her blood heating.
"Holly ..." Ben's voice was high-pitched-a sure sign the man was getting worried. "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking I'm getting this story." She tossed him a hard smile, one that she knew showed a lot of teeth. "One way or another." Even if she had to walk into the devil's den.
Actually, that idea didn't sound bad at all.
Time to go into the darkness and see what secrets she could find.
After all, she was a reporter-a reporter who always got her story.
The pretty redhead walked into his hell as if she owned the place.
Chin up, slim shoulders back, one hand cocked on her hip. Oh, yeah, serious attitude.
But, as he watched her, Niol Lapen couldn't help but wonder ... when he got closer to the lady, would he see fear lurking in her too-green eyes?
Because he knew that she'd been afraid of him before. The last time she'd crossed the threshold into the bar that some thought of as Paradise and others knew as hell, there had been fear in Holly Storm's gaze.
Not that she'd let the fear stop her.
And he'd always rather enjoyed fear in his prey.
Niol had decided months ago that the reporter would make wonderful prey.
He propped his elbows on the bar and kept his gaze on the woman who was slowly strolling across Paradise Found. She'd changed her clothes. The dressy top and the dark pants were gone. Now she wore a short dress, black, one that emphasized the pale silk of her skin, one that flashed the tempting swell of her perfect breasts and kissed the tops of her thighs.
Um. He'd like to do that. Like to kiss and lick those long legs. He could all too easily imagine the feel of that smooth skin against his lips and tongue.
His eyes narrowed. The lady knew how to dress. A point in her favor.
She also knew how to find trouble. Another point for Holly.
"Hell." The disgust came from the bartender behind him. It was the kind of disgust Niol normally felt for reporters, but not for Holly. "What's she doing here?" Marc demanded.
Niol never took his gaze off Holly. Her right hand clutched a small black bag-bet she's got some kind of recorder in there-and her high heels clicked across the floor. He could hear every move she made. The bar, his second home, was packed-a good thing. Yet his senses-damn strong senses seeing as how he was a level-ten demon-were wholly focused on her.
If he tried, he bet he'd even be able to smell her. That light, rich scent of lavender from her lotion.
"Want me to kick her ass out, boss?" Marc asked, and the soft clink of a glass sounded.
A smile curved Niol's lips. "That's not exactly what I want to happen to the lady's ass." No, he had other plans for Holly ... and her gorgeous ass.
It had been too long since he'd taken a lover. At least a month. But he'd been dealing with killers and death. A guy could get distracted.
And now there was this other bastard on the streets.
If another demon died ...
He lifted his drink. Drained the shot glass in one quick gulp. The hot burn of the liquid slid down his throat. "Don't worry about the reporter, Marc." Though he was a pretty recent hire at the bar, Marc still knew the score. He also knew that cops and reporters normally weren't too welcome in Paradise. "I'll take care of her." Very good care of her.
Holly Storm. She was the newest reporter at News Flash Five. Smart. Resourceful. A real looker, too. Plump lips. Small nose. High, glass-sharp cheekbones.
Oh, yeah, the reporter was sexy.
She was also trouble because she knew far, far too much about his private world of demons and darkness.
Most humans didn't know that the monsters they feared in their dreams-the vampires, werewolves, everything that made the night go bump-were all real. Humans were too worried about their nine-to-five jobs, too busy worrying about getting robbed by the guy in line next to them at the grocery store or getting carjacked at the red light on the wrong side of town. They never stopped and actually looked at the world around them.
Because if the humans would just jerk off their damn blinders, they'd see they had a whole hell of a lot more to fear on this Earth than they imagined, and that some nightmares could be very, very real.
Holly had first lost her blinders months ago. For a time, she'd even planned to air her discovery on her precious news station.
Of course, her plans had changed when he'd brought the fires of hell to her feet. Rather literally.
At that moment, her gaze locked on his. Her eyes widened, just a bit. The taking-my-time walk became faster as she tried to hurry to him and-
And a vampire stepped in her path.
Niol's fingers drummed on the bar. The undead asshole had just blocked his view. He'd give him five seconds to move, then-
Holly stepped around the vamp, her jaw locked. Her full lips-painted red, Niol's favorite color-pressed into a line. Ah, so the reporter wasn't in the mood for-
The vamp touched her. Grabbed her arm. Then jerked her up against his chest.

The Cannibal's Connundrum
A new paper on jurisprudence and morals is, how shall we say, food for thought.
The paper is titled "Eat What You Kill: Or, a Strange and Gothic Tale of Cannibalism by Consent" and is forthcoming in the North Carolina Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation.
Charles J. Reid, Jr, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minneapolis, grapples with the decade-old cannibalism case of two German computer scientists, Armin Meiwes and Bernd Brandes.
Meiwes was convicted in 2004 of manslaughter for slaughtering and consuming Brandes, who volunteered to be eaten after responding to an online ad posted by the cannibal.
The crime "threatens our jurisprudential self-understanding," writes Mr. Reid:

[ Q ] How does Z-Health compare to current methods such as dynamic flexibility training and PNF?
EC: In most instances I try not to make comparisons between Z and other programs, because invariably someone will take it as a challenge. That having been said, let me briefly explain the differences here and why they exist.
Dynamic flexibility training (DFT) is a great concept. To really perform well and prevent injury, the body has to be trained in motion, and eventually at sport-specific speed. DFT is an excellent tool in this arena. Z differs from DFT in two important ways.
First, Z is a total system that is designed to not only enhance functional mobility and resultant flexibility, but also to reintegrate posture and breathing with movement. Also, Z is a very deep system that moves from basic rehabilitation through our version of advanced weight training, plyometrics, visual pattern training and a wide variety of other subjects.
In essence, DFT is a tool and Z is a system. Secondly, from a purely anatomic perspective, DFT is a muscle/tendon/fascia oriented process, while Z focuses on the joints and proprioceptive enhancement. We use DFT in Z-Health, but only after joint mobility and precise body-control have been established.
As far as PNF goes, while in chiropractic college I studied PNF extensively via Koss' original textbook, and had some hands-on training with a PNF therapist. Additionally, PNF concepts have been a part of many courses I have taken. Because I am not a licensed PNF practitioner, my comparison ability only goes so far, however. On the surface, I believe that Z and PNF share many similarities.
I also believe, on the whole, PNF is a more limited approach to certain components of movement efficiency and integration than is Z. This likely comes from that fact that PNF is more grounded in traditional orthopedic concerns. All that having been said, if I were choosing a new discipline to delve into, PNF would be high on the list.
I think its concepts have tremendous value, and in the hands of a creative person would likely lead to conclusions in many areas similar to Z-Health.
[ Q ] Dr. Cobb, because we are so fixated on numbers, how does something as simple as breathing help in our movement? I know some systems complicate little details far too much, don't we naturally breathe correctly?
EC: Let me answer by stating unequivocally that breathing is one of the key cornerstones of movement efficiency. If you don't believe me, try a simple experiment. Imagine that you are about to hit a baseball. Get in your stance and prepare to swing. Now, take a deep breath in and hold it. Try to swing - just make sure you don't break or tear anything in the process!
How did that feel? Pretty bad right? Now try it again, only this time blow ALL of your air out and hold it out before you swing. How did that feel? If you are like most people, it probably still felt pretty bad, but a bit better than before. Try it one last time, only now, exhale and relax through the swing. Notice the difference?
If you did this correctly, you'll never have to wonder again if breathing is integral to good movement skills! In Z, we pay attention to the details, and breathing is one of the big ones. Breathing can have a huge impact on your lifting and training if you understand how it works and how to really integrate breathing with motion and posture.
As for your second question, I absolutely agree. It's entirely possible to get lost in complicated little details. We work very hard to not let this happen in Z. Breathing, however, is not what I consider a little detail! As it relates to the oxygen/carbon dioxide balance in your body, breathing either adds fuel to your engine or it siphons it off.
And, believe it or not, MANY people do not breathe correctly due to poor coordination habits, bad posture and improper training. When you learn to really work with your respiration, not only will your movement efficiency skyrocket, but your energy reserves and overall work capacity will dramatically increase.
[ Q ] You work with a wide array of people, ranging from those that have had extreme surgeries to elite athletes. What do you think some of the most common mistakes people make in training?
EC: This is one of my pet topics so let me just throw out my personal favorites.
- Too fast.
- Too much.
- Too soon.
- Too scattered.
#1. Too Fast
If I start with #1, I usually sum it up this way… "Speed is the athletic ego's greatest friend." None of us like to be wrong, none of us like to make mistakes and none of us like to fail. Additionally, we are such a results and numbers-oriented culture, we often sacrifice our bodies and health for a number that means nothing to anyone other than us.
To "achieve" higher numbers, people generally go way too fast in training. I like to tell our trainer's to only perform exercises at a tempo in which they can pay conscious attention to the details. In movements that are too explosive to follow this advice, like the dumbbell snatch, I have athletes choose one aspect of the lift to work on at a time.
In training, like in life, success is most often in the small details. You have to practice slowly enough to notice what you are doing wrong and fix it.
#2. Too Much
#2 is closely related to #1. Most people train with too much intensity at first - higher weights, more reps, more mileage, etc. As a result, when it comes to technique, we like to think that "close enough" is "good enough".
Nothing could be further from the truth! Remember the SAID principle. If you train to do something slightly wrong, you'll only get better at doing it slightly wrong! This will hinder your efficiency and set you up for injury in the long run. Work on the perfect rep - every time.
#3. Too Soon
#3 - Poor rest habits are the bane of many athletes. Unfortunately rest cannot be solely determined by your schedule weeks in advance. You have to take into account your diet, stress level, immune system function and a host of other factors that change day-to-day. I believe that anyone who trains needs to find a personal system that allows them to notice very early on when they are slipping into overtraining.
There are lots of ways to do this, but priority #1 is to learn how your body speaks to you personally. For me, one of the greatest indicators of overtraining is an inability to hold form - perfect form.
#4. Too Scattered
#4 - We humans are a complicated organism. I believe that we are an integrated mind, body and spirit system, and when we separate these components, we're less than whole. Modern training has taken a turn for the worse, in my opinion, by trying to decrease the "boredom" that people feel in training. We distract ourselves in every possible way.
Z, on the other hand, is ultimately about integration: getting the brain/body system into the zone. This is hard to make happen unless you bring your full concentration to the task at hand. So when you lift - lift. Be there and experience it. When you train in a Z neck movement - make it your whole world for the 30 seconds you're working. This may sound a little Zen to some, but it's not. It's backed up by education, science and experience.
[ Q ] So really Z-Health's success is up to the individual right? If that is the case, how do you recommend most people integrate Z-Health with their current training?
EC: Yes, I believe that when it comes to health and fitness it is always up to the individual. Your friends and training partners can inspire and motivate you, but ultimately it has to come from inside you. One of my favorite quotes is, "There are two kinds of pain: the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of discipline weighs ounces, the pain of regret weighs tons." I couldn't agree more.
|"There are two kinds of pain: the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of discipline weighs ounces, the pain of regret weighs tons."
Integrating Z-Health into your current training is actually a simple process, but it begins with training. Z, especially in our R-Phase Training (Rehabilitation, Restoration, & Re-Education) seems simple, but that doesn't make it easy. Reviewing our manuals and DVD is a great place to start. After you've had some time practicing the basics, getting to a workshop or private training session with a Z Certified trainer is invaluable.
Additionally, I like to tell people to start small. Pick one or two movements for problem areas and work to master them. Then add a few more. Next, start learning to integrate our postural concepts into your regular training. If you approach it this way, Z will integrate seamlessly into your current program and give you the foundation for dramatic improvements very quickly.
[ Q ] Z-health can actually make a person stronger, faster, or more agile?
EC: I have two answers to this: yes and no!
We like to say that the only thing we haven't been able to systematize and build into Z is the discipline to train! Each person has to supply that individually. Can Z make you stronger, faster and more agile? Not unless you're willing to work at it.
On the other hand, can Z make you stronger, faster and more agile if you've got what it takes to train properly? Yes. Absolutely.
[ Q ] How fast are some of the results you have seen?
EC: Unbelievably fast. Literally. I am still astounded at how effective and fast Z can be. With the total focus of the system being movement efficiency, changes in performance often occur in one training session - often within seconds or minutes.
- 3 inches added to a vertical jump in 3 minutes - from 28" to 31".
- 19 seconds per mile decrease off a NCAA Division 1 champion runner's 10k time in 2 weeks.
- 20 pound increase in the barbell snatch in 20 minutes with a professional strength coach.
- 15 pound increase to a new PR in the shoulder press in 3 minutes with a professional strength trainer.
Here are a few of my favorite examples:
We have loads of testimonials on our website that people can take a look at and a growing collection of them that we haven't had time to add. In addition to the above stories, we have innumerable favorites in relation to injury recovery and pain-relief as well.
While Z is not a panacea for all of your training ills, the system is a missing link for many people. When you supply that missing piece and give the body the right feedback and training, your results may surprise you.
[ Q ] Dr. Cobb, thank you so much giving us great insight to Z-health. If people want to know more what can they do?
EC: Not a problem, we are currently developing videos and manuals that contain many of our drills and progressions. In the meantime we have
www.zhealth.net that offers a great forum and notice of seminars we are performing around the country.

I was shocked by your uncritical interview with Lynndie England ("What Happens In War Happens", January 3). She was portrayed as a victim, rather than as someone who participated in the despicable bullying for which she was found guilty.
Margaret George

It is hard to comprehend your motives in insulting both our sense of decency and intelligence when you decided to run this abject interview with a woman who participated in such gross acts against Iraqi civilians. Much like western leaders, Lynndie England showed no remorse for her actions, but unlike them she was tried for her involvement in these criminal acts. All such people blame the victims of their crimes.

Although your description of a psychiatric ward was disturbingly accurate (Journeys To The Edge Of Madness, January 3), it was still representative of media coverage that presents patients as only the broken and lost. Perpetuating such images distorts and sensationalises the reality, thereby allowing the NHS and government to continue to ignore and marginalise the needs of mental health sufferers.

I leafed through your 2008 review (December 27), looking for the page marked "Science", but it was missing. This would have been a page about achievements: breakthrough research in stem cells, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, the US volte-face on climate change, easy money transfer by cellphone, and possibly HDTV; and about wars - Microsoft v Apple, Freeview/Freesat v Murdoch, iPhone v Google phone; and about glorious techno cock-ups - MMR, NHS IT systems, ID cards, the Large Hadron Collider, Windows Vista, and the weekly embarrassing loss of sensitive data. And lots more. Shame on you.

Your review of 2008 was textually and visually excellent, but its coverage was sadly lacking in that there was no mention of the thousands of lives lost as a result of cyclone Nargis and the inhumanity of the Burmese junta in dealing with its effects.

Does Matthew Norman's effusiveness and high score rely on the fact that he and his companion were merely pissed (Restaurant Review, January 3)? A six-hour lunch with only five courses between two and four smashed glasses? Good going. I'd love to know how much the lunch was including booze.

A candidate to make the men's marathon team for August's London World Championships, Yuki Kawauchi (29, Saitama Pref. Gov't) has turned down an offer from the JAAF to join its three-week marathon training camp in New Zealand in the second half of March.
In 2015 Kawauchi quit the JAAF's National Team project, saying, "There's more value in not part of it than in being in it." According to an involved person, Kawauchi had considered joining the training camp for a short time, but as a full-time employee at a school in Kuki, Saitama he is extremely busy at the end of the fiscal year and the start of the new academic semester and, considering the time involved in travelling overseas, opted not to take part.
With an overall theme of development to this year's New Zealand marathon training camp, the JAAF has invited former Hakone Ekiden uphill star Daichi Kamino (Team Konica Minolta), 2017 Hakone Ekiden Second Stage winner Kengo Suzuki (Kanagawa Univ.), 2017 Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon 3rd-placer Ryo Kiname (Team MHPS), and three other high-potential young candidates for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic team.

There are no upcoming events scheduled for now. Static Noise is open for bookings via El Capitán Productions.
"The One Decade" is the genuine grippingly confluence of emotions and organic ripping metal, this EP signifies the latest chapter that started in 2006. Static Noise brings out a fearlessness sound which shows the bands aggressive structural complexity and it's catchy melodic hooks in a way that they are able to distance themselves from the pack.
Front man Jeremy Kock is fueled by swarming emotions of frustration, bitterness and pain, which all flows perfectly with the stomping energized riffs of axe grinders Robin and Joris and the surgically precise, ferocious drive of Jason and Tiemen. Songs as "The Thread of Chaos" leaves listeners bludgeoned by it's honest raw anger and foulness, while the exploration of melody explodes in soaring choruses.
Static Noise music relates itself to atmospheric, passionate highly energetic live shows. They've demolished stages with their punishing performance and they are charging forward...ready to storm the stages and do it all over again.
Static Noise consists of:
Jeremy - Vocals
Joris - Guitar

Or legacy building or paying homage to a dictatorial regime in a communist country, etc.
Barack Obama found about one-minute in Cuba yesterday to address the terror attack in Brussels that was carried out by Islamic extremists. Not that the President said the words Islamic extremists because of course he didn't.
But the empty rhetoric that he did spew has become so predictable that I had done a fairly good job doing just that yesterday morning, well before he spoke ('ISIS + Unvetted 'Refugees' = Brussels Airport And Metro Bombing').
At the time, however, I had attributed my predicted words to Obama mouthpiece Josh Earnest because to be honest I wasn't sure that Barack Obama himself would find the time to speak with such a busy schedule in Cuba.
In any event I present my prediction followed by a video of the President offering his words. It will not take more than about 1 minute, 20 seconds for you to watch it!
Prediction Of The Obama Administrations Statement About Brussels!
When it ultimately does comes, the response from White House spokesman Josh Earnest will be the same as it is for every international crisis or act of terrorism (with no mention of Islamic extremism):
- Our thoughts go out to the victims and their families,
- The President has been briefed,
- We condemn these attacks in the strongest terms,
- The US stands with our European allies and will offer whatever assistance needed to bring the perpetrators of these heinous attacks to justice,
And, as it is during every domestic and international crisis, this is just blather and empty rhetoric from an empty suit (Barack Obama) who plans on doing nothing more to 'help' than continuing the process of bringing 'Syrian refugees' to the United States!

A Wauwatosa woman was convicted of misdemeanor child neglect after her young children exited the house while she slept Friday afternoon.
According to Wauwatosa police:
A woman walking her dog saw a 3-year-old girl walking on the sidewalk in the 6300 block of West Lloyd Street wearing only a diaper and T-shirt at 3:30 p.m. She assumed a caregiver was close by so she continued on her way. But when she passed by again 20 minutes later, the child was still outside in the 55-degree, windy weather. The little girl walked into the street trying to cross to see the dog.
Officers approached the child, who said her mom was sleeping. She led them into her house, and the officers found Bethany Lohman, 29, asleep on the couch.
They woke her up and explained the girl had been outside for some time. She then panicked, saying her 1-year-old son also was missing. They found him on the upstairs front porch where the railing was falling apart and dangerous items like lighter fluid and charcoal were kept.
Lohman said she worked late nights as a stripper and was tired. The house was her cousin's and she was staying there until she could find her own place. She went on to say that she had been moving frequently for the past couple of years and had been investigated by child welfare professionals in Winnebago and Brown counties but the cases had been closed.
Wauwatosa police called the Milwaukee County Bureau of Child Welfare, which gave temporary custody to Lohman's cousin. She has been sentenced to go to jail in May.

Owner info
About the owner: Scott and Martha are retired and living the dream! We spend our summers here on the same beach as our rentals. We love serving the needs of our guest. Our goal is to make your vacation the very best ever. We spend our winters in the Caribbean on the Island of St Thomas. There, we spend our time hosting to our friends and family who come to visit. There is always plenty of room and plenty to eat at our house! Our St Thomas house is VRBO listing # 857551 if you are interested.
Why the Owner Chose Wolcott, NY, USA:
Scott grew up out here on Crescent Beach. Since 1960, Scott used to camp out here on the beach when there were no cottages at all. In 1989 Scott started developing the beach to share his paradise with others. There is no other place like this in NY. The sunsets are considered to be in the top ten in the world! There is no road access to the beach which is one of the best features! It's just a 5 minute boat ride from our marina. It is very private and beautiful! You will love it here!
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Sit on the deck which is directly off your bedrooms and watch your children swim, kayak, paddle boat, canoe or just play on the beach which is ten feet from the deck. Enjoy a camp fire on the bay in your private fire pit. The kids will love our water slide that sets on the upper deck of our boat house next door. There is a ten foot drop into the deep waters of Sodus Bay!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was arrested twice. First time in 1986 that resulted in 2 felonies. The other 3 are from 2001.
The requirements for getting your records sealed or expunged vary from state to state. Since your felonies were in Illinois, you would have to work through the process with that state. If you need legal assistance, I recommend you contact an attorney licensed to practice in that state.
I have included a site for you to review from that state which you may find helpful. Links appear to be included to find attorneys who may assist you.
DISCLAIMER This answer is not legal advice nor does it create an attorney-client relationship between any user/reader and The Law Offices of Jimmy Allen Davis, P.L.. We encourage and welcome you to contact us about your legal problems and visit our website at www.lawofficesofjimmyallendavis.com or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com a similar question
Sorry, I copied the link below what I was looking for. http://www.state.il.us/defender/exp.html That's where you should go.
Illinois does not permit convictions to be expunged. A few types of Class 4 felonies can be sealed. You can get some good general background information on the website of the Illinois State Appellate Defender. Look under "exppungement."Ask a similar question
On the website it states that ONLY class 4 felonies, such as drug and prostitution convictions can be expunged. It also says any felony can be expunged with a Govenor's pardon. I downloaded the application from the prisoner review board website, but am unsure if I send it directly to govenor Quinn's office or prisoner review board.
Now you are talking about something entirely different, which is the pardoning power of the Governor. A petition to expunge or seal criminal records is filed with the circuit court in the county of conviction, not with the Prisoner Review Board. No conviction is every expungeable. A few Class 4 felonies can be sealed but most cannot be. The Governor has the power to pardon any offense and to order expungement even where the law does not otherwise permit it. An application for a pardon is addressed to the Governor through the Prisoner Review Board. The pardon process is long, difficult and expensive, and pardons are seldom granted. If you want to prepare you own application and give it a try, you would submit it to the Prisoner Review Board, not directly to the Governor.
Type - should be "no conviction is ever expungeable", not "every." Also, I said that the pardon process is, among other things, expensive. It is expensive if you have a lawyer handle it, but you can give it a go yourself at minimal cost. I usually advise clients not to bother applying for a pardon unless about twenty years of blameless life have passed since conviction. The Governor does not just hand them out for the asking.
I wish we could answer your question but you need to contact a lawyer in Illinois. Mr. Sachs is from evanston so you may want to consult with him to see if there is any other options if you can not seal your record. Good luck!
Please be advised that answering your questions does not establish an attorney-client relationship with myself or my firm. We would be more than happy to set up a free consultation if you call us at 407-588-6714 and specifically mention AVVO or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and put AVVO in the subject line.Ask a similar question

Mazany: MonsterMature
Zuri screamed but I managed to bend the noise so that the figure in front of me didn't hear. I saw Zuri stand and run away, it kind of hurt that she didn't even look at me, I focused on the figure in front of me and said,
"Well not that this wasn't fun and all that, but I've got to go. Places to go people to see" or chase I thought to myself. With that I walked away calmly, trying not to falter.
The figure cursed behind me and moved in the opposite direction, once I was sure they weren't following I ran after Zuri, praying that she was ok.
I caught up with her a while later and she was sitting on the ground sobbing, I walked slowly forward. Nervous about talking her since I had just left her.
"Zuri?" She snapped her head up and I saw tears streaming down her face,
"Stay away from me!" She cried, it hurt when she said this, I moved closer.
"Zuri, what's wrong?" I asked, worried that I had made her like this, idiot.
"I'm a monster... I'm different" She sobbed, that did it and I ran to her, I took her shoulders and said,
"You're not a monster! You're still you!!" Zuri looked at me shocked,
"You're still you Zuri, you're still the only person who accepted me. You become a monster, in my mind, when you turn into those other creatures who tease me. That's a monster." I said more gently.
She looked at me and I smiled gently at her, she broke down crying harder. I held her until her sobs subsided and she whispered,
"Don't ever leave me Mazany" I didn't know what to say so I just held her tighter. I should never had tried to leave and so I never would leave her again, I realized that she needed me just as much as I needed her. I would become stronger so that Zuri wouldn't have to fight.

South Brunswick 57 North Brunswick 50
Coming off a one-point setback to the Scorpions in their season opener, South Brunswick avenged the loss to earn a split in this year's home-at-home non-conference series as the Cougars outlasted North Brunswick 57-50 on Friday night.
After the game was decided by one point on Dec 1, the seesaw battle included 11 ties, 19 lead changes and never more than a two possession lead for either side until South Brunswick went 10 of 12 from the free throw line in the final 90 seconds of overtime.
"We're learning how to win," said South Brunswick Coach Scott Wainwright, who picked up his first victory over the cross-county rival in five seasons. "We have good young players, one senior who works his tail off and understanding what it takes to get things done down the stretch."
Despite a 30-14 advantage on the glass, the Scorpions committed seven turnovers over a four-minute span during the extra period. Kareem Randolph grabbed two steals in the push and knocked down a pair of foul shots with 1:07 to play, putting South Brunswick in front 49-48. Randolph scored a team-high 18 points to lead three players in double digits. Andrew Mosely chipped in with 13 points and Brandon Gonzales added 11.
"Our guys have put in a ton of work this offseason and the conditioning definitely played a part in overtime," Wainwright added. "I'm glad we won't have to match up against Mitch [Layton] anymore. He's killed us down low and he's a good kid, but glad we won't have to see him again."
Layton controlled the paint for North Brunswick and recorded a double-double with 22 points and 15 boards, including back-to-back put backs to give the Scorpions a 48-46 edge with under two minutes to play in the extra frame.
South Brunswick hit just one field goal during the opening eight minutes of action and used eight foul shots to get within two heading into the second quarter. A three-ball by Xavier Williams put the Cougars ahead 24-22 with under 60 seconds remaining in the first half, but Layton answered inside to square things 24-all at the break.
Jaheed Cason knocked down a long range shot for the Scorpions' largest lead of the night at 29-25 early in the third period as both teams traded baskets over the next couple of possessions. North Brunswick carried a one-point lead into the final eight minutes of regulation, but Mosely scored in transition and Randolph sank his second trey of the game to put South Brunswick back in front. A drive to the lane by Jathan Deberry made it 44-43 in favor of the Scorpions before Gonzales hit 1 of 2 from the charity stripe with 51 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The Cougars moved to 3-1 overall, while North Brunswick fell to 2-5 on the young season. Both teams return to the hardwood early next week.
N. Brunswick 12-12-11-9-6=50

Hoggard 56 Jacksonville 46
A.J. Frye led the way with 20 points as Hoggard improved to 4-1 overall following a 56-46 victory against Jacksonville at James Hebbe Gymnasium on Friday night.
Laney 52 Pender 51
Laney edged Pender 52-51 on Friday night to improve to 5-2 overall. Chris Bennett had 25 points and 11 rebounds. Tyler French also recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 boards.
Trask 63 Topsail 40
