Compost tea goes greener with fitment pouches
Vermicrop Organics realizes cost and time savings by switching from rigid plastic bottles to gorgeously printed pouches for its compost tea product, Vermi T Solution.
A specially blended compost tea for environmentally conscious gardeners is reaping the benefits of a switch to a greener, more cost-effective flexible packaging structure. According to John Perrino, co-founder and COO of Vermicrop Organics of Rockin, CA, the company switched to a spout-and-pouch combination, or fitment pouch, designed by Flair Flexible Packaging as a solution to a very expensive and labor-intensive distribution system.
"The garden shops that sell our VermiT Solution each have their own brewers so they can brew on-site. We used to have to send them our kits, which included the empty bottles in half- or whole-gallon sizes, for filling. We'd manually label each of the bottles in our warehouse. The time, the cost of warehousing empty bottles, and the shipping expense were unsustainable" Perrino says.
The new half-gallon triple-layer laminated pouch with a 22-mm recloseable/reusable pour-spout fitment now enables Vermicrop Organics to print the pouches with vibrant, eight-color graphics. The company is able to warehouse one shipment on less than two pallets—the equivalent of a full truckload of their old rigid bottles.
Perrino says he likes the beautiful packaging, but he likes the dramatic decrease in shipping costs for the kits even more. "We are now shipping flat, unfilled pouches instead of rigid bottles," he explains. "No one else in the organic gardening industry is doing this—selling their compost tea in a pouch. It speaks to the heart of our mission: to discover innovative ways to make meaningful change."
Vermicrop Organics distributes a full line of nature-inspired horticultural inoculants and growing media throughout the U.S., Canada, and portions of Europe.

Optional Features Include:
The Steelcase Crew Work Stool is also known by the following manufacturer item numbers: TS30803X, TS30813X, TS30823X, TS30833X.
Kane's ideals are realized through his design of the Steelcase Leap Chairs."I believe that less is more - I'd call myself a minimalist - or even a reductionist. I strive for simplification in both form and manufacturing processes. Achieving uniqueness through simplicity is not an easy task but is truly rewarding when it is realized."A few of the awards that Brian Kane's Leap Chair has won are listed below. In total, Kane has won over 80 design awards. He's been exhibited at the Whitney and Brooklyn Museums in New York and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. If you've been in an airport, bank, or hotel, then you've likely seen one of Kane's designs. If you're lucky, you've sat in his newly designed Steelcase Leap Chair.
A Background and Brief Bio of Brian Kane
Kane graduated form the University of Bridgeport Connecticut with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design. Afterward, he spent some time working in several design studios in New York City and a year in Milan, Italy. Upon his return, he joined Metropolitan Furniture Corporation in 1977. Kane became one of the four partners at Metro in less than three years after joining. In 1987, Steelcase acquired the company, but allowed Kane to remain Vice President, responsible for all aspects of Metro's design, products, and showrooms.
Kane also helped design the first collection of OFFI furniture through Turnstone, which is another Steelcase company. At Turnstone, Kane made quite a name for himself. A few of his products include the Martini Table, the extensive Sweeper seating line, Crew seating, Jenny lounge, Reply casegoods, and Jacket and Jersey task seating. His Pet lounge chair won a Silver Award for Stackable Seating at NeoCon in 2004 for being constructed of recycled soft drink plastic bottles.
"It's very easy to design something that's complicated. It's really difficult to design something that's simple, and offers uniqueness through its simplicity." With such bold statements and designs, it's easy to see why Steelcase took an interest in Kane and his companies.
Currently, Kane is a member of the Industrial Design Society Association. He lives in San Francisco and operates a product development firm, Kane Design Studio. His studio's goal is is to give their clients as complete a finished product as possible and guide them through their internal development process through models, prototypes, and engineered concepts.

Parity - Total number of pregnancies, including the current live birth Kotelchuck Index (Adequacy Of Prenatal Care) - This summary of the quantitative adequacy of prenatal care classifies prenatal care into four categories: Adequate Plus, Adequate, Intermediate, and Inadequate. The index uses birth certificate data on gestational age, number of prenatal visits, and month prenatal care began. The actual number of prenatal visits is compared to the recommended number of prenatal visits (accounting for gestational age), and the month prenatal care began is considered. The definitions of the four categories are: Adequate Plus: Prenatal care begun by the 4th month and 110% or more of recommended
visits received. For a discussion of the Kessner and Kotelchuck indexes, see "Kotelchuck, M. An Evaluation of the Kessner Adequacy of Prenatal Care Index and a Proposed Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index." Am J Public Health. 1994; 84:1414-1420. Mother's Medicaid Status -

Nice color laser for small offices

About Me Frequent User
Comments about HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 500 M551DN Printer:
After 3 Konica-Minolta Magicolor 4650dn printers, which I loved, I was forced to find another comparable color printer. My concerns were print quailty, reliability, and page cost. Many printers I reviewed would be strong in one category or another. After considerable hands-on testing and reading reviews, I settled on the HP LaserJet M551dn with dupexing. I have been pleasantly surprised with the ease of operation and functionality of this printer. It is very quiet when compared to my previous color lasers. Copy quality is good. I found out how to default the printer to greyscale using the black toner cartridge only. That gives me the option to print color only when I want to and saves color toner useage.
So far a great product

Great Print Quality, Poor Networking SW
By Lumbini
from Orange Park, FL
About Me High-end Shopper
I generally love HP printers. However, their sw is quirky. After spending several hours on the phone and reading the installation instructions over and over, I gave up on networking the printer and had to go USB cable. This defeats the purpose of buying a networkable printer! As usual, the best print quality, but problems with installing the sw for networking. I have owned over 30 HP printers and am trying to remain loyal!

Small office printer with great features
By Steve

This was a replacement for a HP 2550 printer. It has more features and a better cents/copy cost. The only feature I haven't mastered is the walk-up flash drive. Some flash drives are not recognized and files cannot be printed.
Great for Personalized Marketing
By Sprinkler Boy
from Fishers Indiana
I use this printer to print invoices and contracts with advertisements on the back to make the most of every contact I make with my customers. It prints at the rated speed in full color w/duplex printing (32 sides/min). Replaced an older HP3800dtn for the extra speed and because the 4 new toner cartridges I needed for the old printer cost 90% of a new printer w/cartridges. I'm sure toner is the money maker. This printer is well worth the money.

When we started Crazy Egg, my co-founder and I barely had enough cash to support the business. We didn't have a ton of paying customers, and the business was losing roughly $30,000 a month.
And although that doesn't seem like a lot of cash, when you are self-funded and living in your parent's house, it all adds up.
So how did we grow the business to over 100,000 customers? Well for starters we used to have a free plan, which helped a lot. And you probably see advertisements for Crazy Egg all over the web, but we've been over 100,000 customers for years. Before that point we didn't have a big marketing budget… all we had was $10,000.
So how did we do it? [click to continue...]

Welcome to CSinParallel
About CSinParallel
The shift to parallel computing---including multi-core computer architectures, cloud distributed computing, and general-purpose GPU programming---leads to fundamental changes in the design of software and systems. As a result, computer science (CS) students now need to learn parallel computing techniques that allow software to take advantage of the shift toward parallelism. To this end, CSinParallel (supported by a grant from NSF-CCLI) provides a resource for CS educators to find, share, and discuss modular teaching materials and computational platform supports.
CSinParallel modules provide conceptual principles of parallelism and (where appropriate) hands-on practice with parallel computing, in self-contained 1- to 3-day units that can be inserted in various CS courses in multiple curricular contexts. These modules offer an incremental approach to getting CS undergraduates the exposure to parallelism they will need as they begin their careers.
What We Provide
Here, one can find information and materials for integrating parallel computing in their computer science courses, including:- Modules: Teaching materials and exercises for educators to present concepts and applications of parallel computing to students. These modules are shared and discussed among a community of Computer Science educators. Browse through the module collection, or contribute one of your own.
- Parallel Platform Packages (PPPs): These provide the interface and library tools with which to implement modules. PPPs include libraries, which can be searched or contributed.
- Information about platform resources: Each PPP can be used with some physical or virtual parallel computing platform. We provide information about these possible platforms.
- Discussion Page: An avenue for discussing topics in teaching parallel computing.
Latest News
We have released the WebMapReduce (WMR) software package on sourceforge, which provides a web interface to Hadoop map-reduce computing that is simple enough for CS1 students to use yet powerful enough for data-intensive computing projects. See WebMapReduce PPP page for teaching modules that use WMR.
This material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos. DUE-0941962 and 0942190.

That is so flippin retarded (sighs) but just wondering all the Windows Updates... would they be lost too but i restored the computer to the very beginning?
Yes, they would, unfortunately. A system recovery puts your PC back to the way it was the first time you turned it on. You don't realize how much you add to a computer until you contemplate having to do it all over again - even if it's only a matter of weeks, I guess. I just mentioned this as one possible option, if you cannot piece things back together in a simpler way.
But i can't even seem to Uninstall Norton Internet Security from Start>Programs or Add and Remove Programs.
When i click on it nothing happens and I also got rid of Norton PC Checkup too just then. Lucky for me i have AVG 9 that i'll install till i get this to work.
This link takes me to a page to get the Norton Removal Tool but when i click Download.
However then when i click the Download button, Chrome says this webpage cannot be displayed.
The download button link being: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/re
What do i do?

To test your ftp connection can you go to ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
<<Edit:Updated the URL>>
I might have to go to a friend's house as you said and download the Norton Removal Tool and Installer. I reckon i cafe would be the worst place to go as they aren't really that secure.
Yeah the ftp link is really bugging me Tywin because i can't access that microsoft link through Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
Say if i bought a Norton Internet Security 2011 and ran the setup through the CD they give me. Would that fix everything? As in remove the previous version and install the new one? I say that because when i tried the LiveUpdate tool it said that i didn't have Norton installed at all. :S
Ftp can be tricky sometimes. If you are behind a router or NAT modem, these can sometimes block ftp traffic. And if such a device also includes a firewall, you may have to lower the firewall settings in order to use ftp. The fact that you cannot connect to download from an ftp site is probably due to something benign such as this, and not due to anything you have to worry about.
Nah Tywin i still can't access the ftp microsoft site, it simply won't go to it. So Jive do you reckon theres a way to allow access to the ftp site?
And dw Tywin i will voice my concern for the ftp site. Right now i just installed AVG and will probably have to wait quite a while to download the Norton and AVG Removal Tool. Man this is gonna take forever.
Thanks for all you help guys!
Will get back to you when i successfully remove my current Norton program :)

Lil' Deathwing
Binds to account
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Flutters about and spins around.
Wing flutter (constant); vocalizations (on-click)
This pet is a free gift for purchasing the Cataclysm Collector's Edition. This edition will be sold in stores (in limited quantity) and it will also be found on auction websites the week of December 7, 2010. While this is a rare pet, it's not quite as rare as the original Collector's Edition pets.
Lil' Deathwing... powerful, adorable, my kind of pet
I love the fact that he uses abilities that he actually uses in the raid! Like elementium bolt, which is probably the most powerful spell I've came across in all my pets (so far). Not to mention, he's also very adorable!
This bro is one of the hardest hitting pets I have. At level 25, his power is 357. Elementium Bolt usually hits for about 900+ damage on a non-crit with no bonuses. Tail sweep hits like a truck. Darkness is useful situationally (hits hard with human damage and blindness), but Roll can buff your Elementium Bolt to make it even more lethal. I like to pair him up with the Ghostly Skull and your four round burst damage can wreck most teams, assuming no massive pet family disadvantages.
@Gamerman: Ever heard of Wrathion? lol
So what's the point of the "Roll" ability? I don't quite get it. It deals little damage and makes your foe stronger...
Very powerfull in Pet Battles!
*EDIT* He flys now! Thanks Blizz!
Thank goodness this miniature version of Deathwing is more subdued and calm than its larger counterpart. One cataclysm is enough for me, thank you very much. The last thing I need is a mini cataclysm tearing apart my pet shop. I'm fairly certain my insurance policy doesn't include pet-induced cataclysms.

When I made this I had no idea that it would become my favorite dish of all time. Sometimes things turn out like you hope and sometimes they can be a huge flop. This could have gone either way, but I had my hopes up.
The minute we sat down for dinner and everyone tasted it, I KNEW it was a huge hit. There wasn't a bite left. The ohh, ahhs, moans and groans said it all.
Now, it is a family favorite and one made on a very regular basis. It is easy and when you find the ingredients on sale makes for a very budget friendly meal. I found coupons for the Grill Mates that doubled and made it free, the London Broil was on clearance and I also found the gravy mix and ranch mix on sale. Total for this dish was approximately $6!
You will need a slow cooker, a London Broil, 1 package of McCormick Grill Mates Garlic Herb and Wine mix, a package of brown gravy mix, a package of Ranch dressing mix and 1 1/2 cups of water.
Stir all 3 packages of mixes into 1 and 1/2 cups of water.
Place the London Broil in a slow cooker and pour the gravy mix over the top.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours depending on how big your cut of meat is.
Remove from slow cooker and slice. It should just fall apart on you, and that is ok. When you plate it spoon some gravy over the top for the best results.
I can't ever have this without mashed potatoes because the gravy from the meat is sooo stinking good on the mashed potatoes that it isn't even funny. I also like to have a roll handy to sop up any gravy left on the plate after everything else has been eaten. The other side you see on the plate here is fried cabbage. Yummy to the whole meal!!

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea will soon start evaluating bids from U.S. and European firms in competition to win a $7.3 billion contract for 60 advanced fighter planes, the country's arms procurement agency said July 5.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said 15 experts would review the bids from July 9-14 before Air Force evaluators conduct flight tests.
Boeing (F-15 Silent Eagle), Lockheed Martin (F-35 Lightning II) and Eurofighter (Typhoon) have submitted renewed bids for a deal worth nearly 8.3 trillion won ($7.3 billion), it said.
The state agency had set an initial June 18 deadline for bids. The three firms tendered their offers, but the agency reopened bidding, cited errors in relevant documents.
South Korea aims to select the winner in November, but officials hinted that the selection could be delayed.
"With the bids having been submitted, we now have to go through testing and negotiations," Oh Tae-Sik, a senior DAPA official, told Yonhap news agency. "These won't be easy steps. Depending on how long they take, the final decision may be put off until into the next administration [in early 2013]."
DAPA said earlier that some technical requirements would be tested on simulators because core parts of all three jets are still under development.
South Korea has bought 60 of Boeing's earlier-version F-15s since 2002 under the first two stages of its fighter modernization program. It plans to purchase 60 fighter jets by 2021.

Yeah, see, in Cave Story, your health bar doesnt actually get shorter, but the bright red part does. See how in the second picture, the bar isn't completely bright red? That shows you at about half health.

Before this gets locked, I have to admit that I thought this was a spam topic about your issue with health-bars. Good to see your problem was fixed.
I think Cave Story is quite capable of giving you mental issues. Just look at some of our fine members on the forum.

I've lifted the following "Frequently Asked Questions" from their website for this discussion:
Why are toll roads being considered for North Carolina?
Roads and transportation systems are not free. The public pays for them one way or another, whether it is with gas taxes, new vehicle sales taxes, or tolls. Gasoline taxes, initially conceived as a kind of shadow toll that people would pay in proportion to their use of the roadway system, have become relatively large -- typically 35 to 40 cents per gallon -- and increases now frequently meet strong public resistance. In addition, the automobile industry is making continuous improvements in the fuel efficiency of vehicles, reducing the amount of revenue generated per vehicle-mile of travel. Alternative fuels, such as natural gas, ethanol, and electricity, are taxed at lower rates to encourage their use. A study by the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of Southern California determined that the California state gas tax would need to be increased 30 cents per gallon in order to raise the same amount of revenue for each vehicle-mile traveled now as was raised in 1960. Factors like these will continue to limit the potential of gas taxes as solutions to our funding problems. Increased levels of urban congestion and declining funding by federal and state governments prompted a wave of toll road projects during the 1980s, particularly in Florida, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, and California. Today there are more than 5,000 miles of toll roads and bridges across the nation. Toll roads offer an opportunity to supplement ongoing department of transportation programs and can accelerate the implementation of transportation infrastructure improvements years before a traditional pay-as- you-go approach allows. Toll roads also provide opportunity to apply innovative financing options that are currently allowed with federal aid revenues.
Motorists would continue to pay gas taxes, and also tolls on certain highways. Isn't that double taxation?
No. It is true that motorists who pay tolls also pay federal and state motor fuel taxes. But the double taxation argument was addressed by the United State Department of Transportation in its 1968 Highway Needs Report to Congress, which states: "The toll road user pays a toll and also pays taxes on fuel consumed while traveling on the toll road. But this is not truly double taxation, since the fuel taxes paid are applied to other highways. The situation is essentially the same as the support of low-volume roads by the taxes 'earned' on high-volume roads." The bottom line is that motorists are not paying twice to use a toll facility. Instead, in return for paying a toll, they are given new road capacity that enables them to reduce losses of time, productivity, and competitiveness.
Won't the presence of toll plazas create a safety hazard for motorists?
The accident rate on toll roads is on average around 1/3 less than on tax-based roads. According to 1998 USDOT statistics, the nation's freeways and expressways had 8.6 fatalities per billion miles traveled. Data for toll roads from the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association indicate a fatality rate of 6.2 per billion miles traveled. While traditional cash toll plazas create backups that present the greatest safety hazard for motorists, often resulting in increased incidences of rear-end collisions, electronic toll collection ultimately will make traditional cash plazas obsolete. Long lines and bottlenecks at tollbooths need no longer be synonymous with toll operations.
Who will decide what toll roads will be built, and when?
The state Legislature in fall 2002 established the North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA). The NCTA is authorized to plan, design, build, operate, and maintain up to 3 toll facilities, and prepare plans for up to 3 additional projects. For additional details on the statutory powers and duties of the NCTA, click here.
When will a decision be made on toll projects to be programmed?
The NCTA is currently in the process of developing a business plan, project selection criteria, and a work program. Actual selection and programming of projects will likely not occur before summer 2004.
When will the first toll road be open to traffic?
NCTA projects will be subject to the same planning and environmental documentation requirements as any other proposed highway project. The actual time required to complete this process, prepare the necessary designs, and acquire the needed right-of-way, will vary considerably from project to project, but under a best-case scenario, the earliest a toll facility might be open to traffic would be approximately 2010.
Will the Turnpike Authority impose tolls on any existing roads?
The Authority is statutorily prohibited from tolling existing highways.

Optimise Your IT Management With ITIL V3
A significant number of organizations are either working on or have completed the exercise of virtualizing their data networks. ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a set of tasks, processes and techniques that are usually implemented for managing the Information Technology services of an enterprise. ITIL is one of the most preferred techniques of ITSM or Information Technology Services Management. It focuses on aligning the I.T. services with the business for which it has been designed. Nowadays, every business that's is a part of any sector requires that the data networks and resources belonging to it are used optimally so that they can provide the best quality of services with lesser costs. For this reason, ITIL is the frontrunner for managing I.T services that have become one of the highest priorities of an enterprise.
ITIL has made available various courses and modules for all I.T. services professionals. The ITIL training is accessible to individuals from all over the globe and there is a large network of dedicated training centers to facilitate this training. Once the chosen ITIL training is complete, an ITIL certification is awarded. There are different levels of certification and ITIL V3 provides the certification path that one should follow. The most preliminary course and the first step is ITIL Foundation. In this course, the participant is taught not only the basic concepts and framework but also the practical applications of ITIL. It is important for one to pass the assessment in the ITIL Foundation course in order to move ahead to the higher levels of training. The foundation course is followed by the training and certification for ITIL practitioner and after that, ITIL Master.
Each training module is in- depth and is linked to the topics that fall under a specific level. The content of the course is designed in such a way that the participant on being awarded a certification has comprehensive knowledge of their chosen ITIL domain and is well equipped to manage their selected area of specialization in any enterprise, in any part of the world. The domains covered in ITIL training include Continual Service Improvement, Service Design, Planning- Protection- Optimization, Operational support and Service strategy and so on. The certification of ITIL Master is the highest level of certification that a professional can acquire. One can understand and apply ITIL for more efficient management of the I.T services.
ITIL is not specific to any one particular business. The processes, tasks and techniques of ITIL can be applied universally to any organization who is keen on administrating its I.T. services through ITIL. ITIL allows an organization to continue maintaining its core values that are relevant to each of its businesses. This is especially important for those organizations operating globally in many countries and different continents. Since ITIL is universally applied and one of the most well- known ITSM management tools, taking up the ITIL V3 path and acquiring an ITIL certification will be advantageous to those who are looking to enter into I.T. services management.

Thread: Secrets about Disneyland

Secrets about Disneyland
Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland is one of the scariest places in the park, but not for the reasons you'd expect. In his 1994 book "Mouse Tales," former Disney employee David Koenig tells the story of a tourist group that requested a little extra time on the ride so they could hold a quick memorial for a 7-year-old boy.
Disney gave the family permission, but it turns out, the memorial was only half their plan. When the mourners were spotted sprinkling a powdery substance off their "doom buggies," the Haunted Mansion was quickly shut down until all the remains could be cleaned up.
Amazingly, this wasn't an isolated incident. Stealthy ash scatterings have occurred all over Disneyland. Not everyone tries to skirt the rules, though. Every year, several families ask for permission. According to one Disney spokesperson, the answer is always no.
The cats own the night
Each night at Disneyland, after the sunburned families and exhausted cast members have made their way home, the park fills up again -- this time, with hundreds of feral cats. Park officials love the felines because they help control the mouse population. (After all, a park full of cartoon mice is more enticing than a park full of real ones.)
But these cats aren't a new addition to the Disney family. They first showed up at Disneyland shortly after it opened in 1955, and rather than spend time chasing them away, park officials decided to put the cats to work.
Today, there are plenty of benefits to being a Disney-employed mouser. When they're not prowling the grounds, these corporate fat cats spend their days lounging at one of the park's five permanent feeding stations. Of course, Disney also goes to great lengths to manage its feline population. Wranglers at the park work to spay and neuter adult cats, and any time kittens are found, they're put up for adoption.
You can shoot hoops inside a mountain
Disneyland's Matterhorn is best known for its bobsled-like roller coaster that twists down the giant peak. But few people outside the park know that deep inside the 147-ft. mountain lurks a basketball court. How did Disneyland become a place where your hoop dreams could come true?
After construction of the Matterhorn was completed in 1959, the roller coaster occupied the bottom two-thirds of the mountain, while the top third remained empty. What to do with the extra space?
Disney employees voted to put in a basketball court. Because a regulation court wouldn't fit inside the mountaintop (sometimes magic can't trump physics), only one goal was installed.
As for the story about the court being installed to skirt building ordinances, that's just an urban legend.
Disney World is its own city
Four years after opening Disneyland's doors in 1955, Walt Disney became convinced that it was time to expand his franchise. After scouting several locations, he decided on a plot of land in Orlando, Florida. But there was a major obstacle standing in his way.
The land spilled over into two counties, meaning the task of constructing Disney World would require navigating the bureaucracies of two local governments. To skirt the issue, Disney petitioned the Florida State legislature to let the company govern its own land, essentially making Disney World a separate city.
The request wasn't as novel as it may seem, however. Governments often create special districts for private companies because the arrangement is mutually beneficial.
The company wins by receiving more power over things such as building codes and tax-free bonds, while the local government saves money on providing infrastructure. In the end, the state gets an economy-boosting business that it paid little to help build.
So, that's what Florida did. On May 12, 1967, the Reedy Creek Improvement District was born. Governed by a board of supervisors, the agency has powers typically reserved for city and county governments.
It has the authority to open schools, create its own criminal justice system, and open a nuclear power plant -- although it hasn't chosen to do any of those things yet. The company also holds all of the seats on the board, and it can always count on its residents' support. After all, they're all Disney employees.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Ashes?! Wow, that's a new one. I mean, I get it, just never thought about it.

The Lakewood Leopard girls and the Wallace-Rose Hill Lady Bulldogs squared off in the second round of the conference championships Wednesday night. The Leopards handled the Bulldog girls without problems, taking a 62-33 win and moving into Friday night's championship game.
In the nightcap, the Hobbton Wildcat boys tangled with the varsity Bulldogs and lost a close one 63-60.
Lakewood led the whole game, however, the first and second quarters were close. The Leopards had a 12-8 lead after one and a 22-17 lead at the half.
In the second half, the Leopards speed took its toll on the Duplin team They were getting turnover sand steals, which with their fast breaks, led to points, allowing them to open up the score in the third period. After that frame, Lakewood had a 20-point lead, at 44-24.
In the final quarter, the Lady Leps led by 32 at one point before the younger girls got some playing time. Wallace came back a couple of times but the Leopards kept their game and held on to the wide margin.
Lakewood coach Loftin Kerr said, "I didn't like how we came out. I think we came out flat and we can't do that Friday night. We've got to be ready. But, once they settled down, they tried to play angry. You can't play basketball angry. I told them to settle down and relax and don't play like the team you're playing. You've got to play with control. Once they did that, they got into the game. However, I wasn't pleased with it – not pleased at all."
Tiesha Rich led the Lakewood scoring effort with 16 points. Tasha Rich had 11 and Bianca Moore had 8.
In the boys game, the Wildcats held the lead for the first half. They were up 4 after the first quarter and 5 at the break. However, Wallace came out after the half and took control, outscoring Hobbton 26-18 in the third quarter. In the final quarter the lead changed on each end of the court as there was a 1-point difference in the score.
Wildcat coach Jeff Byrd said, "We tried to keep it close. We had the lead with 17 seconds and just couldn't get back on offense. When they got that 3-point play, I told them we had to get back on offense and try to do something but we just couldn't get it done. I have to hand it to them, they played hard."
Wallace had a balanced scoring attack with five players leading the charge. M. Newkirk had 12, J. Robinson had 8, G. Wiggins and B.K. McAlister had 7 each and D. Kenan added 6.
For the Wildcats, Jonathan Faison had 18, Rashad Davis had 16, Charles Chestnutt had 9 and Arell Owens added 6.
