I'm been on a lurking expedition in another hair care forum. Man, they've got some like hateful haters over there. Some of them make us 4as look like Pollyanna.
But oh girl with the "I wear a surgical mask to keep videos annonymous" had me like .
But then the whole paper bag over the head reply had me like
Oh, yeah I was raised in Cali so I say like like all the time. And???
Marah, Elle, now Jo. Good to see you ladies!
Do you believe in the common denominator thing when it comes to relationship/social problems? Personally, I don't think it's always true. I think it is a lazy analysis.
"Would of" really grates my nerves. I mean WHY? WHY? Is "would have" so hard to say?
It's not hard to say. But should've and would've are real contractions and 've sounds like of.
I'm not really defending dumbasses. They should burn in hell for failing to use correct grammar. But some people don't know cause they don't care to know. They're okay with sounding like an idiot. Just saying...
"Would of" really grates my nerves. I mean WHY? WHY? Is "would have" so hard to say?
Hello my NC lovelies! Hope you're all well!
Speaking of mispellings and grammar, do you guys tell businesses when their signs are wrong? We have all seen the "we except food stamps" signs. My pet peeve is a word I don't even use. I'm a "you guys" person but most people around me say "y'all". Only they misspell it ya'll. And it drives me crazy because it is a contraction of "you all" so why would there be an apostrophe in the middle of the word "all"? I'm outside this restaurant with their big THANKS YA'LL sign and I am really tempted to say something.

If we combine the total scores from Europeans and Four Continents:

This puts the Shibutani's in line to be on the first page at Worlds. We'll see whether the judges will give the Russian ice dancers more points, and the Shibutani's SD is their weaker event, which may not set them up well for their crisp FD. Virtue / Moir are poised to return at Worlds, but the Kerrs have withdrawn.
What do you think of their chances?

The party platform provides a clear view into the thinking of those who have selected the candidates for President. At its best and its worst, the party platform is the base on which the candidate runs.
Party platforms are the end result of hundreds of hours of discussion and negotiations among earnest and dedicated activists and their various interest groups within the party, including representatives of the candidate himself. How closely the candidate hews to the platform says something about both the candidate and the party that has nominated him.
The following is a summary review of planks from the Republican and Democratic Party platforms as they relate to the business of agriculture. It includes elements of taxes, transportation, energy policy, resource use and conservation and the environment.
The first specific plank in the agriculture section called for eliminating the estate tax as a way to reduce the uncertainty threatening the nation's farm families and for eliminating taxes on capital gains for lower and middle-income taxpayers.
The second plank addressed the importance of supporting risk management tools to offset volatility in weather and markets. It acknowledged the need for cuts to farm bills, including an end to Direct Payment programs as one way of seeking deficit reduction. It also called for continued support for the role of the USDA in agricultural research and food safety, urging Congress to ensure adequate resources for those purposes.
The third plank called for limits to judicial action on environmental management and supported producers and growers defending their water rights from the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers expansion of jurisdiction over waters, including non-navigable waters.
The fourth plank called for streamlining of international food aid efforts by the USDA and the U.S. Agency for International Development by combining them under a single agency.
The fifth plank under agriculture's section of the platform dealt with the food stamp program, which accounts for 80 percent of the entire USDA budget. It called for Congress to consider block granting that program to the states, along with domestic nutrition programs, as a way to fight fraud and abuse.
Other sections of the platform with direct impact on agriculture included taxes, transportation and the environment.
Corporate taxes would be reduced to "keep U.S. corporations competitive internationally." A permanent research and development tax credit would be put in place, the corporate minimum tax would be repealed and a "territorial system of corporate taxation" would be put in place allowing profits earned and taxed abroad to be repatriated (for job-creating investment) domestically without penalty.
This plank recognized the need for major investment in the nation's infrastructure—roads, bridges, airports, ports and water systems—and for reform to speed approval of infrastructure projects. At the same time, it recognized that "securing sufficient funding for the Highway Trust Fund remains a challenge given the debt and deficits and need to reduce spending."
Of special interest to agriculture was a call for the restoration of presidential Trade Promotion Authority, ensuring up or down votes in Congress on any new trade agreement. It also endorsed completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other multi-lateral agreements.
This plank called for tapping all cost-effective energy resources on-shore and off, traditional and alternative, and completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
These planks called for full transparency in development of data and modeling for environmental regulations, science-based cost and benefit analysis and restoring the authority of the states in environmental protection. They also call for review of public land holdings for possible privatization.
A separate plank called for reform and restrictions on the EPA and its involvement in court actions to expand EPA's regulatory activities, full transparency and notification of affected parties in advance of litigation, an end to "unwarranted revocation of existing permits" and prohibition on development of greenhouse gas regulations.
The Democratic attention to agriculture was much more condensed than that of the Republicans. As befits the incumbent party, much time and space was spent reviewing efforts of the past four years. Looking ahead, this section called for strengthening the rural water, sewer and broadband infrastructure as well as the ag safety net by renewing crop disaster relief, strengthening crop insurance and creating a permanent disaster relief program. It also endorsed a call for increased funding of research and development to improve agricultural productivity and global food security.
Other sections of the platform, which addressed issues of interest to farmers and rural America, included the following:
This platform plank called for extending tax cuts for the first $250,000 in income with expiration of Bush tax cuts for incomes above that amount, reforming the tax code to expire and close loopholes and deductions for the "largest corporations and highest earning taxpayers." The plank called for reform to the corporate tax code to lower tax rates for companies in the U.S., with added relief for those creating domestic jobs in manufacturing, research and development, while reducing incentives for corporations to shift jobs overseas.
The platform called for developing all possible domestic energy resources, including conventional and alternative sources. It supported the domestic invention, production and marketing of clean energy technologies, advanced vehicles, fuel economy standards and greater use of natural gas for transportation. It also called for infrastructure investment to speed the transition to cleaner fuels in transportation, expediting the approval process for oil and gas pipelines and new exploration and production. At the same time, the party called for preserving sensitive public lands from exploration and reducing tax subsidies to "Big Oil."
The platform called for long-term investments in infrastructure, including roads, bridges, rail, public transit, airports, ports and sewers and endorsed the current administration's efforts to reform and better leverage how dollars are spent.
The platform endorsed recently signed trade agreements and the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement under negotiation, while emphasizing the need for workers' rights and environmental protection as well as fighting unfair trade practices.
This plank affirmed the science of climate change and committed to significantly reducing the pollution that causes it. It endorsed fuel standards that limit greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, investments in clean energy and carbon pollution limits for fossil fuel fired power plants. The platform endorsed working with local communities to conserve publicly-owned lands; expanding funding for conserving and restoring forests, grasslands and wetlands; protection of National Parks; and restoring rivers, oceans, coasts and watersheds. It promised to preserve landscapes, ecosystems and open more lands and waters for hunting, fishing and recreation.

The arrival of a new sibling can, understandably, make your toddler feel threatened and jealous - after all, up until this point in his life, he's been the sole focus of your attention. And now he has to share you - and we all know how much toddlers like to share!
No matter what the age, there will always be a certain amount of conflict between children in families - it's completely normal (even if it does seem to be never-ending!) as it's one of the ways that they learn the skills that will enable them to get on with other people.
Your childrens' sex, age, temperament and personality will have an impact on the level of sibling rivalry you experience at home. Same-sex and similarly aged siblings are often each other's fiercest rivals, as are siblings who are naturally competitive.
Try to resist constantly jumping in to referee between siblings - unless it's getting physical - because over time, they'll develop different problem-solving strategies that will effectively sort most things out between them.

Soccer (ranked 10th nationally) and volleyball set to open 2013 seasons
You probably know Baylor football begins its push for the Big 12 championship in just 10 days. But Baylor's other two fall varsity sports — soccer and volleyball — get things started even sooner, and with equally lofty goals.
Coming off a Big 12 title and a Sweet 16 finish, Baylor soccer — led by co-head coaches Marci and Paul Jobson — enter 2013 with their eyes on another deep NCAA run. The Bears are ranked in the top 14 in three preseason polls — as high as 10th in one ranking — and matched their best-ever preseason Big 12 ranking, picked third in the league. Sophomore forward Bri Campos and senior defender Kat Ludlow were each named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team, the progam's first such honorees since 2003.
With two 20-win seasons in the last four years (after just one in the 15 previous years), head coach Jim Barnes has Baylor volleyball on the upswing, as well. The Bears return 12 letterwinners (but only two starters) from last year's squad, including one Preseason All-Big 12 selection in senior outside hitter Zoe Adom. Those returnees are joined by a second-straight top-25 signing class that features middle blocker Omotola Itiola, a top-30 prospect and the program's highest-ranked signee since 2000.
Soccer kicks off the 2013 season Friday at home against UTSA, while volleyball opens August 30 at Colorado State.
Sic 'em, Baylor soccer and volleyball!

Man, the Pats are one hell of a team. Wish we could say we won the Super Bowl back to back. Congrats on another championship season. And to the Eagles, you guys put up a good fight, but the Pats are just that damn good.
I would say the easiest game for the Pats in this years playoff run was the Colts
That Pat defense is just . How many times was Donovan sacked?3,4 times? The Colts need to get some D. I would love to have a Tedy Bruschi on the Colts. Well, congrats again to the Pats.

Taking a Break
Posted: Jan 6, 2009 9:01am ET
I'm sitting here back at my desk after being away for nearly two weeks. It was a glorious holiday season with lots of time spent among family and friends, eating great meals and drinking outstanding wine and, perhaps most importantly, just relaxing. Like all of you, this past fall was a tough season with the economy imploding, the non-stop banter and uncertainty about presidential politics, and in the case of magazine, more smoking to do than normal. We had our normal tasting for the Jan/Feb issue, but on top of that, three elimination rounds to choose our Cigar of the Year. Oh, and I almost forgot, two Big Smokes in November. As a result, I needed some time away from smoking.
That's right. Not smoke. Of course, like James Suckling pointed out yesterday, it's not the easiest time of the year in North America to have a cigar if you don't have an indoor smoking venue. But I wasn't worried about a place to smoke, I needed to let my palate clear out a little bit and take a break. It was a truly a case of too much of a good thing, and you all know the easy antidote to feeling that way, whether it's about playing too much golf, eating too much rich food or imbibing a bit too much of adult beverages--get away from it for awhile.
That brings us to yesterday. My first day back in the office and the decision of the day: What do I smoke? Trust me, I was more than ready. I'd been thinking about this moment since New Year's Eve when I was in a non-smoking household, and the outdoor temperature was 4 degrees with a minus-15 degree wind chill.
Now I had some choices. Cigars were already resting in my humidor for the March/April issue of Cigar Aficionado. I had finished up some cigars for that tasting before the holidays, so I was ahead of schedule, but new ones always appear. But I also knew it wouldn't be fair to the tasting process if I were to jump right back into fray with a blind-tasting cigar. No, I wanted to know what I was enjoying so I could relish every puff. There were some Connoisseur Corner cigars in my humidor, given to me by a good friend from Latin America, but again, I wanted to have some benchmark smokes under my belt before tacking a classic Cuban cigar. And somebody, (I haven't asked who yet), left me a small selection of Cuban lonsdales, some of my favorites, in my humidor over the holidays.
Gee, decisions decisions. I know it's a tough one and like always, I'm sure many of you would like to help me out, maybe doing a few test runs in my humidor before making any recommendations. Sorry, that's not to be. But I came up with a solution. I lit up our Cigar of the Year, a …. Ooops, Dave tells me I can't reveal it yet. But I smoked it anyway, to start my year off right by getting back into the swing of things with our No. 1 cigar.
P.S. It was delicious!

Note: Most user interface tasks can be performed in Edge Classic or the New Edge experience. For an overview, getting started topics, and release notes specific to the New Edge experience, see the docs.
Turn on/off features in production
Mobile Analytics is now App Monitoring and content about Mobile Analytics is deprecated. For documentation related to these features, please see App Monitoring content, such as Configuring app-specific features.
For information on migrating to App Monitoring, see Migrating from Mobile Analytics to App Monitoring.
You just added a new photo feature to your mobile application. When a user clicks a "Photo" button in the user interface, your app takes a photo. You tested the feature, but you're not sure if users will like it. Furthermore, there's always the possibility that the new feature might not work properly despite the testing you performed.
You can use Mobile Analytics to turn on the new feature, making it available in your app to users. But you can also make it easy to turn off the new feature if there are any problems. You can turn on or off the new feature by specifying an application-specific configuration for your app and then integrating the configuration into your code.
Step 1: Specify app-specific settings
Open the Default Configs page. This will apply the configuration to all devices running your app. Then in the Application Specific Configs section of the page, specify a category, key, and value for the new feature, for example:
The category groups together configured features. What you include in each category is also up to you. In this example, FEATURES is a category that includes new features such as the photo feature.
The Key identifies a particular feature. In this case, enableCamera identifies the photo feature.
The Value controls the handling of the feature. In this example, the value 'true' for enableCamera means that the photo feature will be turned on in the app.
Step 2: Get the configuration
Add code to your app that enables Mobile Analytics to get the configuration for the new feature. For example, here's the code you would need to write for the Android version of your app to enable Mobile Analytics to get the configuration for the enableCamera photo feature. The code also displays or hides the photo button based on the value of enableCamera:
protected void newFunctionality() { String enableCamera = MAConfig.getValue("FEATURES", "enableCamera"); LinearLayout cameraButton = (LineraLayout) findViewById(R.id.dashboard_photo_btn) //Toggles button if (enableCamera != null && enableCamera.equals("false")) ((LinearLayout)cameraButton.getParent()).removeView(cameraButton); }
For iOS, you will need to use the iOS application-specific configuration APIs. See the section "Optional: Enable application-specific configuration" in Add monitoring to your iOS application for details.
Step 3: Turn off the feature if needed
When the user runs your app, the camera feature will be initially turned on because the value of the feature is set to true in the application-specific configuration. If you need to turn off the feature, simply change its value to false in the Application Specific Configs.
The next time a user runs your app, the camera feature will not be available and the camera button will not display.
Turn on/off features in a Beta Test or A/B Test
You can also turn a feature on or off for a smaller set of users. You can do this using a Beta Test configuration or A/B test configuration, and integrating the configuration into your code. For details, see Configure your app .

Could careless about sim games, I like to beat people straight up, guess people just think different.
True dat
Wait, Hale lost because he got Sim beat? That's ****ing stupid.
Simming in the playoffs, how absurd.
It's not as much building the Team, it's knowing what is the best way to configure your Coaching Profile for how you will run your Team.
Tweaking it to run the best way to fit your roster isn't the easiest thing to do. It took me several games in the regular season to tweak it so that I win a few of the games.
I agree with what Derek2k3 was saying.....I don't like that the games are being SIMMED when it comes to PvP matchups. I get that it maybe hard to meet up and play....but if there are repeated requests to play from one Player and the other Player doesn't ( at least ) respond saying that he's busy...then I'm thinking that those games should be forfeited. If the Player does respond and simply need more time...then I can PAUSE the league to allow more time to schedule games.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
FYI......once the Playoff Ends.....there will be 1 or 2 full days ( in Real time ) between the Playoffs and the start of the Offseason.
I don't recall when it starts and what the sequence is....but note that the timeframe for the Draft and ( more importantly ) the Offseason Free Agent signing...is done at the same time. The Draft occurs ( we draft like normal for the made up College Players ) and then right after...the Free Agency starts. This means that we should expect to do this in the next week or so.
Please note that if there are Players that you don't want to pick up Players' Team Options or sign Players that you don't want to sign at outrageous contracts....then you should plan on taking care of your Offseason tasks.
I think I can PAUSE the League AFTER the Playoff ends.....but this is something that we will need to plan around as to when it happens.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I chise like everyday and sim a ton, your right my team wouldn't of even made playoffs if I hadnt played like 20games.. if I had known that playoffs were to get simmed I might of drafted differently.. but its all good I think your just glad that u might actually have a chance to win it all now haha
And u can't edit players tendencies which is the biggest thing u need in a chise
I've already had 4 games simmed on me just because my work schedule/family obligations completely prevented me from playing, even though I've been in contact with my opponents. I was good enough to recover in the the first round but its not happening in the ECF. I hate that we're going at such a fast pace. I think every PvP playoff game should be played. I don't know how you can think this season has gone by slow, Dgreen.

I just feel like we have been paused like 30 times. I have been in a few other associations and maybe I just have high standards from being in a league with Other guys but if you lose a sim game in my other league it's from a lack of prep. Remember due to Post traumatic stress disorder I don't sleep much anymore and my usual work week is sick call three days a week (besides deployments)
And I don't think pausing the league is at all annoying, really. I wish I had known you were willing to do that, Cable. I flat out couldn't make it before the first sim, and the second..me and DGreen took turns falling asleep at our scheduled meet up times and ended up with a simmed game. Both losses, and it's a shame because all of our games (which have ended in disconnects each time but once) have been pretty much dead even.
I don't have a problem with it it occasionally but it feels like this first season has taken months. Which means those who chose to build thru the draft are at a gigantic disadvantage, their players won't progress to the level needed to be worth the risk. Free agency is going to be interesting. Alot of overpaying is going to happen.
And I just lost the series with three simmed losses. Screw this. Absolutely ridiculous we were simming playoff games.
Sorry Ghostface Millah, I wasn't aware that all the games were SIMMED....I wasn't able to login to the League on the PS3 and when I did....there was no way for me to tell if the games are SIMMED through the GUI. I was under the assumption that you guys were working out some schedule to play the game. If I had known earlier, I would have PAUSED the league to allow for you to work out some scheduled time to play.
When it comes to ANY PvP game ( Playoff games ), my preference is to PAUSE the league to allow all of you to schedule time to play ( cuz I know that it's hard to find time to play given work and conflicting schedules ); because the main reason why I play in the League is to simply play against a real person. To address the length of time....I can force wins for any of the PvCPU Playoff games for each round until there is a PvP Matchup so that we can avoid the playoffs taking too long.
I'm sorry that things took this long and that it turned out this way....clearly there were a lot of "bumps in the road" when it comes to the Playoffs.....but now that we know how this works and I have an idea about what I ( as an Admin can and cannot do )...we will know what to do next time in the Playoffs.
But I understand that this could be frustrating for various reasons....either cuz of the length of time it takes to play and due to the SIMMED games....but it's up to all of you if you want to continue playing or not.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
You won once. The other three were simmed. You can't count those disconnects as wins. Most of them were in the first half when they occurred and they were all very close games. Yeah, I led by 5 in the 3rd or 4th I believe, but I'm not counting that as a win. We have been in touch throughout, so it's ridiculous we had three sims in our series. You basically got a hassle-free trip to the finals because when I was available to play, the game always disconnected, and when I wasn't available-it simmed.
Cable, I'll keep playing. Hopefully, we will have an operating procedure settled for season 2, and we won't have these complaints.

Hey I am just saying.
ok....so are the finals set?
If so, I am inclined to declare DGreenwell3 the Champ UNLESS Vandy is still playing.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
He wasn't playing with MrHale in the 2nd round.
Has the WCF finished yet?

The grinder can be operated with manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic operation modes. It also is equipped with FANUC Power motion with online storage for dressing and grinding programs, USB connectivity, improved reaction times and a color touchscreen.


text: Youth helping lead softball regional finalists By Tommy R. Atkinson May 12, 2013 Story Share Chip Ellis Hurricane's Cassi Sargent smacks a single in last week's regional semifinal win over Cabell Midland. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Perhaps they're too young to know better.Hurricane and St. Albans in Class AAA and Sissonville in AA each broke through with regional semifinal victories last week and find themselves one win away from the state tournament. Elsewhere Buffalo, the two-time defending state champion in Class A, kept chugging right along.No. 3 Hurricane hosts No. 8 St. Albans in the AAA Region 4 final Thursday, while unranked Sissonville visits defending state champion and No. 3 Wayne in AA Region 4 and No. 1 Buffalo hosts No. 8 Doddridge County in Class A Region 4. There is a break between the semis and finals because of statewide testing that begins today. (See Page 2B for regional finals pairings.)The Redskins (29-6) are in rarified air, winning their first regional semifinal in school history behind a starting lineup that features four sophomores and two freshmen. Hurricane also set a school record for wins for the second straight year.Some of that inexperience has surfaced as the Redskins have committed 18 errors in their last four games, but each time they have used their bats to make up for the gaffes, pounding out 43 hits, including five home runs, and scoring 33 runs.Hurricane fell behind No. 2 Cabell Midland, which had beaten the Redskins the last two meetings, 3-0 in the first inning before battling back and then hanging on for the 6-5 win. Sophomore Emily Davis, the No. 7 hitter, belted a two-out, two-run single to give Hurricane the lead for good, 4-3, in the third and freshman Maddie Hebb followed with a two-run double for a 6-3 advantage as the last three batters in the lineup finished 4 for 9 with five RBIs. "We know we have to play strong,'' said Davis. "We know that offense will always come through. We hit strong from one to nine. We were the underdogs all year and it feels really good to advance.''"We know we need to pick ourselves up offensively if we make errors,'' added Redskins sophomore Courtney Rogers, who leads the Kanawha Valley with 11 home runs. "We just try to keep our heads together and stay focused on the game. We have confidence in every single person.''Hurricane has handled SA with ease during the regular season, winning 9-0 and 13-0."St. Albans has a team that can come here and win,'' said Redskins fifth-year coach Josh Caldwell. "We can't come out and say we've beaten them twice." SA (28-4) starts two freshmen and one sophomore who have grown into their roles to complement the senior duo of pitcher Ali Haynes and catcher Mariah Caudill.Haynes fired a five-hit shutout and belted a three-run homer in a 6-0 win at Point Pleasant in the region semis that extended the Redskins' winning streak to nine games. Haynes has two round-trippers with nine RBIs in the last four games, while Caudill is 8 for 11 with two doubles, a homer and six RBIs.The Red Dragons had failed to advance past the semis since winning it all in 2010."I'm just thrilled with this team with only two seniors,'' said SA coach Greg Garber, who won his 500th game this season. "They've exceeded my expectations. We weren't doing the little things that it takes to win games. It seems this team is willing to do whatever they need to do to win.''The Indians (17-12) are even younger, starting six freshmen. Sissonville pounded No. 2 Herbert Hoover 7-3 last week, beating the Huskies for the first time in three attempts this season. Hoover was No. 1 most of the season until the final week of the poll. Sissonville also overcame adversity to advance this far for the first time since 2002 as coach Nikki Gross was suspended by her principal for playing a game the day before the regional semis after the players had testing."It seems like it's the freshmen that's pulling the team together,'' said Gross. "They're very confident. When we first started the season, I could see big things happening for us, then we started having some ups and downs. It seems like that has just pushed them to play harder each game. They were upset I wasn't at the game and it seemed like it made them mad, so they played harder.''Sissonville has dropped both of its matchups with Wayne by scores of 9-0 and 5-1. Buffalo rolled to a 13-4 win at Wahama in the regional semis behind freshman catcher Amanda Christy, who went 3 for 3 with five RBIs. The Bison (30-4) have won 17 in a row and yielded their first runs of the postseason against the White Falcons. Buffalo hasn't faced Doddridge this year.Reach Tommy R.

Thank you PG!! And have you noticed how many nice passes Lance has made tonight that directly led to a good shot?
25 pts in one half is no joke, but this is like his Dallas game last year. Not really a repeatable performance, because he's not driving or taking free throws. It's all 3 pointers
Hibbert 1 block away from a triple double.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Wow, what a shot by Aminu
Oh well, we have the last possession. Win it, guys.

"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetimes worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."
What did we do to the basketball Gods to deserve this?
Lance shouldn't beat himself up, that's a crazy shot and he almost had it.
Once again, Vogel gives the ball to West in a last second situation. . . . .
That was close. But it's ok.
Win it in overtime. You can ice it there. The Hornets are gassed.
Let's go, guys.

WEST Swindon teenager Lucy Smith has reached two inter-area finals in the women's national indoor bowls championships.
The 18-year-old Westlecot indoor player is through to the section 9/10 inter-area final in the ladies' singles, and together with sister Katy, 17, has also qualified for the inter-area pairs final.
An England under 25 triallist, Lucy produced a brilliant comeback to win the Area 10 singles title. She trailed Gloucester's Gill Fry 20-13, but hit back brilliantly to grab a superb 21-20 win.
Lucy moves forward to the inter-area final and meets Area 9 champion, Amy Stanton, the 2012 world indoor under 25 champion, at MidGlos on Monday.
Lucy and Katy won the Area 10 pairs title when they were given a walkover as their opponents from MidGlos withdrew due to illness.
The sisters move will face Area 9 champions Viv Hall and Joan Parfitt (Welford-on-Avon) in the inter-area final, just one step from the last 16 at Melton & District in April.
Meanwhile, Westlecot ladies still have an interest in one other women's national competition, the over 60s' pairs.
Ellen Bolland and Janet Willis beat a duo from Cotswold (Stroud) led by Pat Thorley 18-11 and then defeated the MidGlos's Ann Leach and Pauline Gunn 18-5 in the Area 10 final.
Bolland and Willis advance to the inter-area final and will face Area 9 champions Di Green and Janet Scott (Birmingham) at Banbury on February 8, one stage away from the last 16 in March.
In the men's national championships and competitions, Westlecot bowlers are still running in the triples and over 60s' pairs.
Kevin Embling, Ian Jefferies and Neil Smith have reached the inter-area final in the national triples.
In the early rounds they recorded victories over Dave Howes (Cotswold) 22-10, clubmate Dave Snell 23-15 and Robert Turley (Carterton) 18-10.
Then in the Area 10 triples final, the trio outbowled Malvern Hills' Mark Atkins, Luke Harwood and Ryan Atkins to record a 17-7 victory.
Embling, Jefferies and Smith move forward to the inter-area final where they will meet either a trio from Desborough (Maidenhead) or Foxhill (Aylesbury).
Embling and Dave Snell are still running in the over 60s' pairs. They defeated Fairford's Martin Hope and his partner 27-15 in the semi-finals at Westlecot and are scheduled to play Roger Preece and Jack Dempsey (MidGlos) in the Area 30 pairs final tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Neil Smith came close to recording his first victory of the 2013/14 season on the planetbowls.com open singles circuit last Sunday in the Wey Vale Open (Guildford).
He lost 2-0 to Matt Hyde (Desborough, Maidenhead) but collected a £400 consolation prize and considerably boosted his planetbowls ranking.
To reach the final Smith overcame Nigel Lee (Essex County), Joe Abercrombie (Folkstone), Arthur McCaughan (Folkstone) and England international Perry Martin (Swale).
In the semi-finals Smith beat Scott Edwards (Adur, W Sussex) 1.5-0.5 before losing to Hyde.
"I was very disappointed to lose in the final," said Smith. "I played really well all weekend, coming through one or two tight matches."
- WILTSHIRE ladies gained revenge for last season's one-shot defeat by taking honours in the annual showdown against the county men's representative side.
The ladies ran out 148-99 victors at North Wilts last Sunday courtesy of a well-timed late surge.
The match was tight early on as the women only led 28-27 across the board at five ends, but they moved 71-58 clear at 10 and were 91-83 up at 15.
They powered away in the final six ends across the board, scoring 57 shots and only conceding 16 to claim an emphatic victory.
The ladies took the honours on five of the six rinks with Janet Hardie's team just edging out Fizz Mace's four.
Evelyn Tape won the battle of the county presidents against Keith Baker (Westlecot), enjoying an 11-shot success as a member of Joan Coleman's foursome against Maurice Byron's four.
Janet Bowker-Praed led her rink to a six-shot win while Brenda Bowen's four produced a late rally to beat the rink skipped by county men's secretary Dave Williams, 21-19.
Wiltshire men's lone success was recorded by the quartet of Ron Salsbury, Dave Newan, Fred Tape and skip Dave Edmonds, who beat Jean Collier's rink by three shots.
However, Wiltshire Ladies suffered a 126-105 defeat at the hands of Somerset in their previous women's friendly match.
The men fared little better as they were sunk 131-116 in a previous friendly at home at North Wilts.
Meanwhile, Westlecot men increased their chances of reaching the Wessex League play-offs with two wins in the last fortnight.
They beat fellow play-off hopefuls West Berks (Newbury) 90-81 and followed that up with a 101-55 success over Banbury Cross.
In both cases Westlecot were indebted to the two home rinks who both won to ensure an overall victory and in each match the Old Town Club collected 12 points out of 16.
Meanwhile, Westlecot ladies are out of the Yetton Plate after losing 85-73 to Avon Valley in a last-32 tie.
The Swindon club, who trailed across the board throughout the contest, drew on two of the four rinks but lost on the others by two and 10 shots respectively.
