Not always a bargain
By Granny
from West Liberty, Ky..
The color came off in two places the first (and last) time I used it.
Very Roomy
By Just Cheri
from St. Joseph, MO
This handbag has lots of pockets and lots of room. Two front pockets for your cel phone and other small items, small inner pocket, too. Two zippered sides to keep things organized. The only problem is after using it daily for a few months, the color has started to flake off. Makes me sad because I like it but soon I won't be able to carry it anymore because of the flaking.

Not long-lasting
By Mom of Two
from Fair Haven, MI
This was a great deal and the purse is very pretty, but I find that after a month of everyday use, the "leather" is peeling and chipping off the outside of the purse! I love the pockets and it's a good size...but I'm afraid it will last less than 6 months.
Attractive Useful Ample Capacity Handbag
By NGNC
from North Carolina
About Me Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Practical
Styling, dimensions, capacity and dimensions are all excellent for someone who desires utility and usability over wide range of day-to-day use. Initial quality seems good. Patch-piece handbag designs often fray and degrade prematurely, so durability, thus long-term quality and value remain unknown at this time. At low sale price offered, this was worth taking a chance on usability and long-term value.
By carols
from rye, ny
This is a nice bag and I like it, but it smells of mold. I am going to try spraying it inside and out to see if that helps. If it doesn't, I won't be able to use it.

Great Handbag !
By Kathy
from Parkville, MD
About Me Comfort-Oriented, Practical
I have spent hours in department stores looking for a bag like this! How surprised I was to find exactly what I wanted in one of my favorite catalogs! It's attractive, great size, and has just the right amount of space and compartments. I can't say enough about this hand bag. And to top it off, the price is the best around.

LiveHuhne pleads guilty - as it happened
This live event has finished
- Huhne admits perverting the course of justice.
- He was also resigned as Eastleigh MP.
- Today was the first day of Chris Huhne's and Vicky Pryce's trial
- It's alleged Ms Pryce took Mr Huhne's speeding points on his behalf
- Pryce previously pleaded not guilty on the grounds of marital coercion
- Huhne also entered a not guilty plea to the charge at a hearing last week.
- As Ms Pryce is still to face trial, we are unable to allow comments for legal reasons.
We are now going to close down the live updates but will post any further updates on the site, should anything happened later to develop the situtation.
As Chris Huhne's legal team fought to get his case thrown out, his fractured relationship with his son Peter was revealed in a series of text messages read out to the court.
The messages, revealed for the first time today, showed distraught Peter Huhne's anger at his father about the break up of his parents' 26-year marriage.
We have put together a full profile of Chris Huhne's political career in the House of Commons.
Eastleigh Borough Council declined to comment on today's developments.
But a spoksman said: "Following today's resignation of Chris Huhne MP the Council will await further advice from the Electoral Commission as to the timing of the forthcoming by-election".
A spokesman for Eastleigh Conservatives said it could take weeks to hold a by-election in the town.
But Charlie Daniel-Hobbs, a local tory party activist would not be drawn on whether Maria Hutchings, the Eastleigh Conservative party spokesperson and Conservative candidate at the last election, would be the Conservative candidate for any forthcoming by-election.
"She has been working extremely hard, she's very popular in the constituency," he added.
He said of Mr Huhne: "Obviously Mr Huhne has committed quite a serious offence and he's done absolutely the right thing in resigning.
"We're looking forward to going out on the streets – it will be an interesting by-election and we'll be fighting for every vote."
He said he thought that the circumstances of the by-election would not sway many voters and that it would be fought on the current issues and what each party was offering.
Tracy Stephenson, 48, of Guest Road, Bishopstoke, said: "I can't complain about him as a person, he helped us out.
"At the end of the day you got to do what's right with your job.
"If he had come clean at the beginning we wouldn't be having this conversation."
But retired Celia Newman, 70, of Hedge End, said he's done the right thing by resigning.
She said:"He just proved himself to be what a lot of politicians are - you can't trust them.
"So he's not done his profession any favours."
Constituent Jenny Overson, in her 40s, of Hoddinott Road, Eastleigh, had nothing but priase for Huhne.
She said: "I'm really upset because he's a nice man.
"When I went to him to complain about something, a problem, he was really helpful, he did everything for me."
Mr Olson added: "People don't respect members of parliament as much as they used to - this all makes people turn off politics when these things come to light.
"We used to respect members of parliament, they were held up as someone that you could go and meet and confide in, who you elected to represent you and you really do want to feel confident that their standards are as high as yours or better.
"In this case, he fell short of it.
"The people of Eastleigh will certainly feel let down."
Cllr Godfrey Olson, leader of the Conservative Group in Eastleigh Borough Council, said: "I give him credit for resigning now, I think it would have been easier for everyone if he's resigned earlier.
"It's a pity it was allowed to drag on for so long.
"Perverting the course of justice is a serious thing for an MP - one has to uphold certain standards and certain dignity."
Lib Dem party leader Nick Clegg said he was ''shocked and saddened'' by Chris Huhne's guilty plea but said he had ''taken the right decision in resigning as an MP''.
She stands as she is told to return to court on Tuesday.
The trial of Huhne's ex wife Vicky Pryce to begin tomorrow at 10am.
Wikipedia already lists the MP for Eastleigh as 'vacant' - http://t.co/zxrI0HAJ #brutal— @jreynoldsMP 04 February 2013
It has been a morning of high drama as Chris Huhne admitted perverting the course of justice, announced his resignation from the House of Commons and fought through a media scrum to leave the court.
Meanwhile, yet more court proceedings are due to take place today.
One couple has just come to ask Echo reporter Julian Robinson in court what all the fuss was about.
Julian said that it was Chris Huhne.
There were blank faces.
"Who?" they replied.
"Chris Huhne, the former energy secretary," said Julian.
"Never heard of him," came back the response.
Huhne leaves court amid a frenzy of press activity.
Surrounded by photographers and cameraman as he reaches for the door or the black cab.
Other Lib Dems in Eastleigh were a little less forth coming.
Eastleigh North Cllr Chris Thomas (Lib Dem) said: "I have nothing to say on the subject.
"He's a nice guy, it's very sad. "He's been a good MP and that's all I can say."
Giving his reaction Eastleigh Borough Council leader Cllr Keith House said: "It's very sad, Chris has always been a very hard working MP in Eastleigh."
Mr House, who is also the leader of the Lib Dems on Hampshire Councy Council, added: "The sadness is that a brilliant political career looks like it's coming to an end on the basis of this case
"He said he did not anticipate any changes for Eastleigh politically as it has been a strong Liberal Democrat area and had seen nothing to suggest that would change."
Speaking outside court, Chris Huhne said: "I have pleaded guilty today and I am unable to say more while there is an outstanding trial but having taken responsibility for something that happened ten years ago the only proper course of action for me to do right now is resign from my seat in Eastleigh and in parliament.
"That is all I'm able to say."
Granting Huhne, whose father was also in court today, unconditional bail until a sentence date to be fixed, Mr Justice Sweeney told him: ''I will deal with your sentence on a date to be notified.
''It is essential that you attend, obviously, on that date.
''As Mr Kelsey-Fry (Huhne's barrister) has foreshadowed, you should have no illusions whatsoever as to the sort of sentence that you are likely to receive.''
Mr Justice Sweeney tells Huhne it is "essential" he turns up to his sentencing, the date for which has yet to be set.
"You should be under no illusions whatsoever as to the sentence you are likely to receive," he tells the former energy secretary, the man who twice made bids to become the Liberal Democrat leader.
Huhne is currently in a court preparation room in discussions with his legal team.
With the case adjourned, stunned reporters from every publication under the sun are still in disbelief at the unfolding drama.
Mr Justice Sweeney told Huhne to stand and said he should have "no illusions whatsoever" as to the sort of sentence he could receive.
His former wife Vicky Pryce denied a charge of perverting the course of justice.
Carina Trimingham, whom Huhne admitted having an affair with in 2010, ending his 26-year marriage to Pryce, was in the public gallery as he pleaded guilty to the perverting the course of justice charge.
The pair are pictured below arriving at court this morning.
There were sharp intakes of breath in the public gallery as Chris Huhne changed his plea.
Extraordinary turn of events at Southwark Crown Court. Huhne, wearing a dark suit and white shirt, stood in the dock to enter a guilty plea, the charges having been read to him again.
Mr Justice Sweeney is listening to legal submissions. Huhne and Vicky Pryce are listening in from the dock, sitting a seat apart.
The Eastleigh MP changed his plea in the last few moments, having initially denied the charges.
He entered a not-guilty plea last week but this morning changed that decision.

Court usher has just informed press and public there will be a delay as the court room is "boiling hot". It had originally been listed for a 9.30am start.
Good morning and welcome the Daily Echo's live coverage of the trial of Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne and his ex-wife Vicky Pryce.
The former Cabinet minister and Vicky Pryce were both charged last year with perverting the course of justice over the allegation, said to relate to a speeding offence in 2003.
Pryce previously pleaded not guilty on the grounds of marital coercion and Huhne also entered a not guilty plea to the charge at a hearing last week.

A demonstration installation for a new method of electrical generation using tidal power is being planned by Nova Scotia Power and Open Hydro, an Irish technology developer. This method of tidal generation may prove to be more widely usable than current methods of harnessing tidal power.
Nova Scotia Power currently operates the only tidal power generation plant in the western hemisphere. But that facility relies on dams and storage ponds, and is functionally akin to standard hydroelectric generation. "A large dam called a barrage is built across a river or outcropping of land. The dam funnels the water into the tidal generating plant as it flows in and out with the www.americanfoods.com tide. To produce practical amounts of tidal power, a difference of a least five metres between high and low tide is on line pharmacy needed. There are only about 40 sites around the world with this kind of tidal range. Currently in Canada, the only practical site is the Bay of supportmichaelocc.ca Fundy." (from Nova Scotia Power)
In contrast, the new system will sit on the seabed and will require no dams or large structures for operation. The in-stream tidal power system is analagous to a wind turbine, sitting in a flow and drawing power from it. But unlike wind power, the in stream tidal generator has a regular source of energy from the cycling of the tides.
Open Hydro cites three primary advantages for tidal power:
- Energy produced is completely predictable.
- Turbines are located beneath the surface and cannot be seen or heard.
- Water is 830 times denser than air meaning that a much smaller turbine is needed to generate the viagra purchase canada same volume of electricity.
These are all good points. The most significant drawback to tidal power is that it is constrained to soft cialis coastal locations with strong tidal flow, which limits its applicability. It isn't going to be the only energy solution for the future, but where it can be installed, it looks like it will be a great option in the sustainable power generation portfolio.

Tidal power uses the viagra sale buy regular and predictable movement of canadian levitra scam water due to the gravitaional pull of the Moon and the Sun, combined with the rotation of the Earth.
Wave power is the harnessing of energy transferred by the wind to the sea. The wind generates swell, and is not nearly as predictable as the steady rhythm of the tides.
I think this idea has merit providing that an array of turbines doesn't produce a dead spot which the tidal currents flow around.

You'll notice that there is a hollow spot at the center of buying viagra overseas the turbine to deal with this issue.
I like the idea of merging in-stream installations and wind turbines. I'm not sure if there are locations where both would work sufficiently well (particularly since there are not a lot of good locations for in-stream installations), but it's an engaging concept.

and is it expensive or too expensive?
written by Dirk, April 09, 2007
1. what speed of water : power generation relationship will exist?
2. Leap tides will sureley generate more power??
3. Will water not just flow around the hurdle / obstruction? It is not space restricted like in a river.
4. Can this then also be used in a river? What do you estimate the minimum flow speed to be and will a funnel to concentrate the flow increase efficiency?
5. The fish through the turbine can also assist in additional income from sushi..... so don't worry, much less impact than burning coal

VHT Special 12/20 12W/20W 1x12 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo AmpBuilding on the success of the popular VHT Special 6 and Special 6 Ultra, the VHT Special 12/20 features increased power (with two power ranges), a unique preamp specifically designed to excel with pedals and multi-effects units, a convenient built-in 9-volt DC pedal power supply, an all-tube buffered effects loop with send and return level controls, VHT's unique Depth and Texture controls, and variable Watts control.To optimize the amp for a wide range of output tubes, the VHT Special 12/20 offers two output-power ranges; safely located behind the rear panel, a special voltage range switch provides the proper voltages for 6V6 or EL84 output tubes (in 12-watt low-voltage/low-power mode). The high voltage 20-watt setting provides the ideal voltages for higher-power 6L6 or EL34 output tubes. The Special 12/20 ships from the factory with a pair of 6V6 output tubes (VHT 6V6-to-EL84 socket adapters are required for operation with EL84 tubes). In addition, the Special 12/20's variable Watts control can reduce the maximum output power to less than one watt for whisper-quiet volume levels.The Special 12/20 preamp was designed to bring the most out of every effects pedal and multi-effects unit with enhanced clarity, detail, and controlled tube compression. Its low-impedance buffered effects loop send — with variable send level — can effortlessly drive the most difficult pedals without tone or signal loss. Thanks to its variable send and return level controls, the 12/20's effects loop can accommodate a wide range of pedal or rack effects. Those seeking the shortest signal path to the output stage can plug their pedals or multi-effects units directly into to effects return jack — the 12/20's unique output stage Depth and Texture controls are post-effects loop, so the output stage characteristics can always be fine-tuned to accommodate a wide range of instruments, speakers, playing styles and environments.As an added convenience for pedal users, the VHT Special 12/20 also features a built-in, regulated 9-volt DC pedal power supply.

Farmers from all around the state came to Billings for the Montana Farm Bureau Federation's 94th Annual Convention, and the biggest concern is Congress passing the farm bill.
More than 400 Farm Bureau members came to attend workshops from top national speakers.
The Chief Economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation, Bob Young flew in from Washington D.C.
"Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization. The policies that we lobbed for in Washington D.C., we don't make up on our own. Folks in the room, and other rooms just like it across the country," said Young.
Young said he wants to get a safety net in place for farmers and ranchers.
"The biggest issue is that we're right on the middle of a discussion on the farm bill writing a new farm law for the United States will provide support on a safety net for U.S. Agriculture for the course of the next 5 years."
The president of the Montana Farm Bureau Federation, Bob Hanson said there's no insurance on livestock or disaster in play right now.
"The biggest problem that probably hurts us is the lack of decision on their part that we're kind of treading in an unknown business side of things," said Hanson.
Hanson also said they will vote on their 2014 agriculture policy which will include
a tax policy, property rights, and grazing issues.
Attendees continue to hope the FARRM bill will be passed before Christmas.

Archived:FPS-Meter for Adobe Flash Lite v1.1, 2.0 and 2.1
FPS-Meter (Frames Per Second) v2.0 is very simple but extremely useful component for Adobe Flash Lite v1.1, 2.0 and 2.1. It will help you in optimizing Flash Lite animations for smooth playback. I released first version of this component on my blog sometime ago.
Here you will find full source-code of this component and compiled .MXP (Adobe Extension Manager Package) file.
Click the filename below to download.
The Code
- Create a MovieClip with 11 frames and make KeyFrames on frame numbers 1, 2 and 11.
- On 1st KeyFrame initialize timer variable.
var timer:Number = 0;
- On 2nd KeyFrame, calculate the FPS (Frames Per Second) value and display it.
txtFPS = Math.round(10 / ((getTimer() - timer) / 1000));
timer = getTimer();
- On 3rd KeyFrame, make a jump to KeyFrame number 2 to make it continuous loop
End Notes
You can also use same frame-based timers for doing other tasks, such as timely updating Battery Meter, Network Signal Strength Meter or reloading data from Internet.
Source-code for Flash Lite v1.1 is also included in the download and it is done in similar manner.
I hope this little piece of code will be helpful to you in your daily Flash Lite development.

Lady Gaga concert review
Lady Gaga put on a bloody good show at the TD Garden Tuesday night. Parading around in controversial costumes (see transparent nude nun getup) and smearing her flesh with red goo, her Monster Ball Show accentuates her artsy elements, which have always seemed slightly at odds with her candy pop dance anthems.
The songs are the show's biggest strength, and the setlist is carefully paced. A new ballad came at the exact moment where a breath was needed and "Bad Romance" nearly blew the roof off the sold out venue with thousands of simultaneous woah oh oh ohhhhs.
But where her sounds are by-the-book new classics and not necessarily pushing the envelope, she certainly does challenge with her theatrics. In concert she comes off like a cross between the Rumple Minze mascot and Missy Von Kimmelman from this "State" sketch.
OK, maybe those references are a little obscure. Anyway, although Gaga does employ a lot of visual shock tactics, the show itself is as much a pop concert as Michael Jackson or Madonna, with a whole slew of backup dancers filling up the empty spaces on the stage. One thing that struck me: Why do all choreographers insist on dressing dancers as post-apocalyptic punks? At least the house of Gaga did employ a little variety there, with a few costume changes the dancers at one point looked like fencers.

Wednesday, May 10, 1989 Weber State College Volume 49 Number 74 New lots expected by autumn By Paul Johnson Contributing Writer Relief is in sight for those who commonly spend their mornings aimlessly circling the parking lot looking for a vacant spot. The construction of a new lot, as well as the expansion of old lots is expected to bring about 200 new parking places by fall quarter 1989. The new lot will be built on Edvalson Street across from Lind Lecture Hall. According to Harold Briskcy, WSC parking director, the gravel and dirt lot will be a 'B' parking permit area and will provide space for about 100 cars. However, he said, "the way students park, probably 150 can park there, because some will be blocked in." The new lot is still in the planning stages, said Jim Cox of WSC Architectural Services, but the college will accept bids from outside contractors "relatively soon." Construction is expected to begin this summer and should be completed by fall quarter. Though the area was once considered unstable for construction purposes, it has since been approved. Cox said concerns of stability would be met with before construction actually begins. "It shouldn't be a problem with a parking lot," he said. "It would be more serious if we were going to build a building there." The cost for the new lot is estimated at S 1 1 ,000, Cox said. It will be paid forpartially by appropriated state funds for parking lot construction. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of parking decals, regularly used for parking lot maintenance, will also fund the project. Speaking of the new lot, ASWSC President Stephanie Jcssen said "the time was right and the student concern was there." She feels the expanded parking spaces will at least ease the traffic congestion inherent to the first few weeks of each quarter, when the campus is crowded with new students. Other parking renovations, Briskey said, include the expansion of lots A-7 and B-6, near the construction site for the new (see PARKING on page 3) V. 7T ' , fa 51 a. ,5 si , 1 Wr-"r PAINTING DEXON DRIVE has become a tradition for Greeks as they celebrate their "heritage" this week and next.

The Signpost photo: Robeen Gillem) Accreditation review: no big deal By Peter Avion Senior Reporter Weber State College received an important visitor Monday. There was no fuss, no hoopla, no hullaballoo. However, this one visitor had the power to close the college down. As a representative of the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NASC), Dr. James Brooks of Central Washington University came to Weber to perform a five-year interim accreditation review. "It is fitting that Weber State's interim evaluation occurs during its Centennial celebration, a particularly appropriate occasion to assess recent developments and set sights for the future," stated the Interim Report given to Brooks. Every ten years, NASC sends a team to Inside . . . News . . Opinion . page 4 Awards honor faculty.-.

In preparation for that review, departments on campus are asked to do in-depth self-evaluations to assess the performance of their deparunent. These are compiled and presented in a report to the NASC team, which usually spends three days touring the campus, examining departments and conducting interviews with faculty and student body leaders. According to Smith, NASC then reviews the report and any other data compiled from the site visit, and cither renews or discontinues the accreditation. Along with their renewal or discontinuance is a report prepared by NASC ci ting strengths and weaknesses of the college. The five-year interim review is basically a chance for the college to address the concerns raised in the NASC 10-year report. "It's not that big a deal," said Smith of the five-year review. NASC concerns addressed by the College's rebuttal were faculty and nonfaculty salaries, general education philosophy, keeping up with technological equipment advances, pursuit of graduate programs at the expense of undergraduate programs, the statistically disproportionaic number of "A's" and "B's" given, student advising procedures, the sub-standard condition of library materials and access to microcomputers. "The perception that Weber Slate in 1984 lacked effective philosophical grounds for its general education program was accurate. Historically the Faculty Senate, through its committee structure, has struggled with the problem of course approval for general education, recurrently discussing philosophy, objectives and criteria without resolution. As faculty considered the evaluation team's conclusion, the idea of a core curriculum remained in disfavor. In addition they respectfully disagreed with the team's central concern over the numbers of courses carrying general education credit. While reform was certainly in the air across the country, mere reduction of options hardly seemed to represent a prevailing philosophy," said the report to NASC, noting how attempts at refining general education objectives "failed to change the fragmented pattern. ..noted in the 1984 review." The key changes came in 1987, when the college reviewed it's basic mission statement, according to the report. "If all this works, Weber State students should experience an unprecedented degree of coherence in their general education," it said. On the question of disproportionate grading, the report slated: "Admittedly, the college has not overtly addressed the issue of reducing the proportion of A's and B's over the past five years. In fact, between 1983-84 and 1987-88 the annual proportion of such grades has increased from 71 to 76, while the mean CPA has risen from 2.91 to 3.04. That 4.5 rise in CPA, however, has been exceeded by a 6 increase in the composile ACT scores presented by entering freshmen during the same time period, from 16.7 to 17.7." The report also noted the rise in Honors (see REVIEW on page 3) L 1

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

POST FALLS, Idaho – It's a good time to do your spring cleaning in Post Falls: the city organized a one-stop shop recycling event with a $5,000 grant from Post Falls Sanitation.
The city gets the grant each year to help encourage residents to recycle rather than fill up the landfill. This year, the city is trying something new: an e-recycling event.
On Saturday, April 27, Post Falls City Hall will have a drop-off station for, essentially, everything with a plug: telephones, old computers – even Christmas lights. The company will dispose of all personal material stored on hard drives and if you're really concerned, will perform a data destruction in front of you for $15.
Additionally, the police department will be accepting prescription drugs, pills and medication as a part of National Drug Take Back Day. They will ensure the pills are disposed of properly.
St. Vincent Depaul will also be at city hall prepared to accept any other donations.
If Post Falls residents put any extra garbage outside of their trash bins before 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Post Falls Sanitation will come pick it up at no extra charge. Extra trash much be within a reasonable size to transport.
The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, E-Recycle event at Post Falls City Hall will take items between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday.

California Beauty Dreamin'
In the age of accent nails, airbrush art, and pierced tips, service often stands second in the pursuit of the perfect (and Instagram-worthy) polish job. But Olive & June—the latest nail destination to open in Beverly Hills—is going back to basics by elevating the salon experience for the modern set. Aimed at filling the void between the hole-in-the-wall quickie shops and more time-intensive spas, Olive & June owner Sarah Gibson Tuttle teamed up with TENOVERSIX's beloved retailers-turned-designers, Brady Cunningham and Kristen Lee, to conceive an inviting and fully functional space. The pair, who in the past created their own nail color, Blonde on Blonde, for RGB, worked with Tuttle to blend the interior design and merchandising of the product on display. The result is an airy, California-inspired space that feeds Tuttle's New Yorker-turned-Angeleno aesthetic. Locally made custom furniture provides a seamless transition from reception area to nail station, while a pristine wall of lacquers prominently displays an eye-catching assortment of RGB, NARS, Butter London, and other fresh hues. And true to their promise, the nail salon also takes great care to cater to your every modern-day convenience. Once you've safely stowed your keys and bag, iPads and Wi-Fi are at your disposal. Mani trends might come and go, but the comfort of a well-conceived salon experience never gets old.

ANNAWAN -- Until someone takes it from their hands, the Annawan-Wethersfield Titans consider the Lincoln Trail Conference baseball crown theirs to own.
Hosting fellow contender Mercer County in a crucial conference doubleheader Saturday at Howes Park, Coach Jeff Parsons' club let that attitude show in their play. After using a seven-run fifth inning to erase a three-run deficit in an 8-3 first-game victory, the Titans completed the sweep with an 11-4 win.
A-W (17-4)moves into a second-place tie with the Golden Eagles (13-3) at 11-2, with only Ridgewood (18-3, 14-0 LTC) ahead of them.
"Mercer County is good, but we feel like we're pretty good, too,'' said Parsons. "It seems like there hasn't been a lot of talk about us winning the LTC title this year after only losing two kids (from 2012's conference champions).Not to sound arrogant, but we think it's our title to have until someone takes it away from us. We'll celebrate a bit today, but then we play Ridgewood and Galva Monday and Tuesday, then Galva again Thursday. There's no rest for the wicked.''
Mercer County, which has two games with Ridgewood this week, knows it can't dwell on Saturday's losses as it still has a chance at the title should it beat the Spartans and A-W stumbles.
"We've got to battle back,'' said MC coach Nick Basala. "We can still win a title, but we've got to play better. We can't play like today and expect to win.''
In the first game, A-W's Matt Jenkins and Mercer County starter Tanner Matlick hooked up for four innings of scoreless baseball, with each team mustering only two hits in that span. Things changed in the fifth inning for both, however.
First using two well-placed bunts by Jesse Snyder and Tyson Russell to go up 1-0, followed by consecutive doubles by Tyson Nylin and A.J. Line, the Eagles grabbed a 3-0 lead. A-W responded by sending 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fifth, scoring seven times and knocking Matlick (2-1) out of the game.
Zach VanWassenhove's RBI double capped the frame, with RBI singles by Jake Bennett and Trey Hannam fueling the fire beforehand. Hannam finished with three hits and VanWassenhove was 2-for-4 with two RBIs to support Jenkins, who went the distance and tallied nine strikeouts.
"That was a huge relief,'' Jenkins (5-1) said of his teammates' fifth-inning response to Mercer County's first strike, "but I knew my teammates would come back and get some runs.''
In the second game, A-W led 2-1 before sending 11 batters up in the bottom of the second to score six runs. Kegan Jacobson's two-out, three-run double was the decisive blow.
Cody Phillips was 2-for-4 with three RBIs, with Trevor Lay and Jake Bennett each adding two hits and two RBIs to back the pitching of Tyler Litton (5-0), who struck out seven and allowed two earned runs.
Spartans sweep:Ridgewood pounded out 19 hits andGalva-Williamsfield committed 13 errors as the Spartans won the LTC twinbill by scores of 15-4 and 12-1.
Noah Shannon had a pair of two-hit, three-RBI games in addition to earning the first-game pitching victory, running his mark to 6-0. Teammate Nate Humphrey struck out eight to move to 4-0 in the nightcap, and also had a pair of two-hit games. Nick Ragan had four RBIs for the twinbill.
"We had some good approaches at the plate today,'' said Ridgewood coach Seth Spivey. "Both (G-W pitchers) Tyler and James Doubet gave us fits last year, and we've been working a long time to prepare for today. Noah had the big hit that chased (Tyler) in the fifth inning, a two-run double that made it 6-1.''
A four-run third in the opener enabled Ridgewood to erase a 3-2 deficit, with RBI singles by Blayne Street and Shannon giving it the lead. Dusty Werner's RBI single in the second game up the Spartans up 2-1, a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Now, Spivey and his players have a rugged week to look forward to as they seek their first LTC title.
"The schedule-makers got it right, I guess,'' he said. "The teams get to settle this on the field. We couldn't ask for a better opportunity, but we've got to play well.''
