Money Betters-
But this time this week, if you are not sitting on a Caribbean beach with a beautiful babe on your lap and a drink in your hand...wondering if you want to eat 'Surf or Turf' for dinner this evening....you have only yourself to blame. As Promised....
has enough potential to damage as a ton of bricks slamming into a bag of feathers! You were disappointed that you had lost money in week 4, and we delivered a solution to your problem. So...if you are sitting in your office reading this, you need to question your ability to bet on a good deal when you see one.
The 'Bears were what we THOUGHT they were' in the UCLA vs. WSU game. WSU actually ended up hanging around in this game....and there was a point in the game where I thought we were actually going to win the game. But as predicted, the combined point total was nowhere close to the 50.5 Over/Under spread predicted by Vegas. Combined score ended up being a whopping 70 points....the same line set for the Washington State vs. Oregon game this weekend. Half of me wants to say that game will score over 70, as well.
On to the Money Bet of the Century.....there isn't a lot of good games this weekend. MBOC Feel Correspondent Dustin Schnaitman likes Michigan State to win outright over Michigan, which after seeing the gutsy play calling of Sparty this year, could definitely happen. I'm worried of the crowd getting behind Denard Robinson. The MBOC is going to predict a Heisman Trophy at the end of next season for young Denard.
This week's game will be Pittsburgh @ Notre Dame.
Notre Dame looked good last week in their 31-13 handling of Boston College. But then again....it is Boston College. Dayne Crist has a phenomenol first quarter, driving down the field and helping the Irish put the game out of reach early on. Still, Notre Dame has proven when it comes to a substantial opponent, often times they come up short. Who could forget the play 'Little Giants' a few weeks ago, when Sparty sneaked the field goal then dumped the ball of to their tight end for the game winning score. What you didn't see was that the tight end ended up right in the Notre Dame band section, and their celebration for the score knocked around some of the ND Band Members. Talk about adding injury to insult (about 40 seconds in)....Here's a recap of that if you didn't see it enough times on Sportscenter.
Pittsburgh is one of those teams that always ends up doing better than you thought they were going to do. My old business school roommate Matt Michaux would make me a bet every year (usually after a few Yuengling beers) and he'd say "I'll bet you 5 bucks that Pitt ends up in the top 15". Well....he was wrong both years I bet him....but to give him credit, it came down to the last game both years.....and if they would have won, they would have silently finished out the year in the top 15. They are good......sneakily so. Utah is #10 in the country and damn near lost to Pitt in the first week of the season. Past that, Pitt's only lost is to Miami, where they were fairly well beaten. Other than that, their two wins have been by an average of 2.5 points. Weak sisters you say.... (Florida International and New Hampshire)...!!! You won't get any argument from me there....but the point is that they have the offensive power to put up points, and they've been fine tuning it against lesser opponents. Dion Lewis did not play in Week 5, and in my opinion....he is an NFL caliber running back that should be in the outside discussion of a Heisman Candidate. But once again.....Pitt just kind of does its thing....quietly. Now you might ask yourself....are these girls really from the University of Pittsburgh. Dude.....Who cares!
So here's the scoop. This game is at Notre Dame, and touchdown Jesus will be staring down at the field from the endzone hoping for another Notre Dame win. The line is Notre Dame by -6.5 which makes me leery, because a touchdown wins the spread for them. But the Panters are poised to take a bite out of some Irish ass. Look for Pitt to win this game and for Dion Lewis, now back and healthy, to run for 175. Panthers win this game by 7 in South Bend!!! Don't agree?!?! Tell me about it below....

The great thing about a Sydney fog is that it calms the traffic and teaches the planes a lesson, and for a moment - until the third runway surges back to life - there's a hint of peace.
If only there was a natural fog available for the commentariat, especially the screeching emanating daily from the News Ltd parrots ...
What on earth is the pond to make of this epically banal splash by one Greg Melleuish?
Having children is a fact of nature? Who'd have guessed?
Why Melleuish is right up there with the thoughts of Mao:
Though Mao, being inclined to the psychotic, was inclined to change his mind later in life:
Chairman Mao Zedong: Do you want our Chinese women? We can give you ten million.
U.S. National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger: The chairman is improving his offer.
Mao: We can let them flood your country with disaster and therefore impair your interests. In our country we have too many women, and they have a way of doing things. They give birth to children, and our children are too many." (here, taken from Harpers)
Yes, it's all there in Children a private and public good (behind the paywall so you need never know).
Oh won't someone think of the mothers and the children, and what do you know, it turns out that these days people can only have children ... with the help of government ... as Melleuish explains in a dispassionate way how distraught he is that the baby bonus has been dismissed as middle class welfare. Why there are even dark Greens - muttering darkly in dark corners as women come and go talking of goo goo - who dare to suggest that having children should be discouraged:
For any dispassionate observer there seems to be an element of madness in all of this. Surely, given that human beings are mortal creatures and will cease to exist as a species if they do not have progeny, one of the primary functions of any government is to ensure that the future generation comes into being and that its mothers are provided with such assistance as they require. If, as Edmund Burke put it, there is a contract existing between the dead, the living and the yet-to-be-born, it is in all our interests to ensure that the "yet-to-be" are actually born.
Uh huh. The very survival of the species is at stake. Sex drive and the nesting drive is no longer enough. Governments must act!
Yep, now it's a primary function of government to ensure breeding takes place. Is it wrong of the pond to propose high intensity breeding farms, heavily subsidised by government? Not quite factory, ersatz free range will do ...
Way back when, of course, Melleuish was one of the prim small government brigade:
From our history, one can discern those liberal principles that should guide Australia in the twenty first century. These include individualism, limited government based on a sound constitutionalism and a positive internationalism that encourages Australians to engage with the world. (here)
Who'd have thunk sound constitutionalism involved splashing the cash because people can't manage a pregnancy without the help of government ...
While we're on the subject of sound constitutionalism, Melleuish offers up this doozy, bemoaning Gonski, and celebrating motherhood:
These priorities reflect in a vivid fashion how politics operates in 21st-century Australia. Children count only when they are linked to a powerful lobby group. Mothers, especially those who do not work, count for very little. Sometimes I tell people that perhaps every Australian should be given the vote at birth, and that the mother should exercise it on behalf of her child until that child turns 18. Many are horrified; this would mean giving extra votes to the wrong sort of person.
Uh huh. This chimes with the pond's notion that it should be given the votes of the mentally impaired.
Enough of this nonsense about one person one vote one value for the vote. The pond will take care of Greg Melleuish's vote, and put it to good use, until he promises to stop this sort of idle blathering as a way of promoting his new book.
Let's face it, he hasn't been blessed in the way Nick Cater was blessed by the parrots squawking in the fog-bound trees ...
Meanwhile Janet "Dame Slap" Albrechtsen also recants regarding the role of government this morning in Zealots forget the epidemics (behind the paywall for public health reasons).
For once the pond agrees with the slapping Albrechtsen dishes out, having seen first hand the damage a polio epidemic can do ...
And what joy it is to see a member of the commentariat affirm a key role for government, and talk of public health, without once mentioning how a baby bonus is vital to secure the future of the species.
Why it turns out there's a public and lordy, lordy, there might even be a society:
Indeed, let's go further still. We have rules that cover just about every facet of our daily lives, from the minimum distance between a sink and a power outlet to 40kmh speed limits around our schools. Yet modern society is too supine to make a clear moral judgment, to say unapologetically that public health requires that parents vaccinate their children. Well, that time has come too.
Indeed. Society ... public health ...
Sorry Ms Thatcher, it seems Albrechtsen is for turning, when it suits ...
Now let's go further still, and let Albrechtsen write a fervent column about the ratbaggery that has since hysteria whipped up around wind farms, which has seen both sides of politics display an unseemly amount of gutlessness in the face of a few spectacularly ill-informed and ill-advised lobbyists doing their worst ...
Meanwhile, the pond awards a special prize to the lizard Oz for maintaining the rage about the NBN and finding yet another angle for fear and loathing and never mind the amount of asbestos to be sighted throughout the inner west and always ready to be disturbed by a tradie treading on the roof or grubbing in the ground:
Why that's front page material surely:
Oh yes, well played.
And now a couple of brief asides.
Things are heating up in Tamworth, and by golly it's fun as Tony Windsor applies the blowtorch to Barnaby "Barners" Joyce by proposing a Gina Rinehart connection, as you can read in the Northern Daily Bleeder, Joyce denies Rhinehart donation. And there are still some sceptics who fail to understand Tamworth is the centre of the universe ...
What fun this sideshow will be in the run up to the election.
And in another universe, the Christian Brothers, having spent more than a million bucks defending an alleged paedophile, have suddenly discovered $1.1 million or so they can spend in private settlements for his victims.
Whatever else it's done, the Victorian inquiry has helped the church to realise the errors of its past ways, as you can read in Church victims win $1m.
Why isn't this on the front page of the lizard Oz, as it is on The Age?
Why because the lizard Oz has NBN axes to grind, and amazingly they manage to drag pink batts into the routine ...
The company's startling admission of sloppy work practices prompted comparisons between the NBN rollout and the Rudd government's disastrous pink-batts scheme, which was beset by botched installations and linked to four deaths and almost 200 house fires before it was dumped.
What's startling is the nakedness of the lizard Oz's obsessions ...
It's one thing to be in favour of safe work practices and the treating of the risks of asbestos with caution (yes the pond had relatives who worked in an asbestos mine near Attunga).
It's one thing to demand safety in a roll out, and then not to complain about delays in the roll out if safety is a concern and a consideration. But it's completely another thing to compare the NBN to pink bloody batts ...
Does the rag really think issues involving asbestos will be avoided by the roll out of Tony Abbott's and big Mal's cheap-arsed version of the NBN? Or that it isn't already an issue in Telstra maintaining its aged asbestos-lined and copper saturated facilities?
Time to retreat to The Guardian and David Marr reporting on Cardinal Pell at that Victorian inquiry, George Pell: everything except his testimony spoke of power.
The down under version is still bedding down - the video accompanying Marr's story is feeble, and it's strange to read an alleged Australian-orientated edition which looks like an identikit of the British format, but at least the pond senses a chance to avoid being sent into a frenzy by the lizard Oz's relentless crusading ...
(Below: sssh, don't mention copper, mention pink batts instead)

The doctors told mom today that they aren't going to release her from the hospital until at least Monday. They are worried about her mental state and think she may be depressed. They want to have her evaluated by a psychiatrist and possibly put on an anti-depressant and/or anti-anxiety drug. I'm sure that she could use it.
She seems to be doing okay, but she gets really emotional and starts crying sometimes. And she keeps worrying about things that she shouldn't be worried about right now.

especially under new mortgage rules that limit total debt for a would-be borrower to 43 percent of their annual income.
I did not know that. I'll be getting married this year, and apparently we wouldn't qualify for a mortgage after that due primarily to student loans (boo debt!). Good thing I've already got one (hooray debt!?!).

I like my job. A lot. This is my first real office job. I'm still amazed that I can ease into the day which is a sharp contrast to the teacher feeling of being "on" for hours on end. I see my teacher friends on Facebook talk about decorating classrooms and I feel no regret or feelings of wishing it was me. Three months later and I like where the journey has lead me.
I'm linking up with Whitney for #Backthatazzup Friday

Labels: Day to day life, James, Juliet, My two kiddos, spring
The owner is an amazing man that has been raising African Pygmy goats for years. The mothers are gentle and the babies are adorable. You can scoop them up like a cat and snuggle them for as long as you can hold on, because soon they'll bound away to chase all the other adorable babies.
There isn't much to say other than they are cute. So here are a lot of photos, to emphasize the point.

I like the spring. I love cool but sunny days. I like rainy days. I like the idea of getting my umbrella and trying to recreate Gene Kelly's famous dance from Singin' in the Rain. I like drinking tea and baking. I love listening to Ella Fitzgerald while I drink tea and bake cookies. I love wrapping myself in my blanket, reading a book on the love seat (which is in my bedroom), drinking tea (notice a trend?), and listening to the rain fall outside my window. I love the flowers blooming and the grass getting greener. I am a spring girl. I am happiest during this season (and fall... because I'm a massive nerd and the whole "going back to school" thing makes me giddy). Most of my happiest memories happened during the spring. Since I won't get to experience spring again until next year... well, I'm not going to be a happy camper. lol.
I am trying to think of what to do this summer to keep my mind and self occupied. I firmly intend to not go out after 11 a.m. unless it's to pick mom up from work... or because I have to do something at a later time. I don't want a repeat of last year when I had a 2.5 month throat infection (thanks, summer) and hives on my arms from the heat. No gracias. Obviously, I'm going to be reading... a lot. I know what times my local libraries (I live in between two) open so I can get there early. I also have overflowing shelves full of books I've been given for my birthday. But, I also want to do something good for others.
At the moment I haven't come up with a plan but I'm taking the Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati PACT seriously this summer. There has to be something I can do for others while I'm holed up in the house. My usual preference (working to make meals for those who need it) won't work out this summer for obvious reasons. I'm too poor to, at least, make sandwiches at home and do my own distribution. I really need to put on my thinking cap because I want to do something good this summer... you know, besides ranting about how I hate the season. lol. I figure if I do something good I won't hate the season so much. It's just a theory; we'll see what happens. ;)
Anyway, sorry... I was just ranting/writing "out loud." Yes, I am that bored. lol. I promise I won't write many of these. ;)
I hope y'all are having a great week thus far. :D
As always, thanks for reading and God bless. :D

Mirantis Joins Hands with SUSE To Offer RHEL Support; Red Hat Not Happy
Competitors get in the game with RHEL without Red Hat
The OpenStack company Mirantis has joined forces with SUSE to offer support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on Mirantis OpenStack. Under the collaboration, SUSE and Mirantis will work together to validate, optimize, certify, and support SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for use with Mirantis OpenStack Software.
The most interesting aspect of the collaboration is that the two companies will also offer support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS, in addition to SLES. Red Hat offers its own OpenStack distribution and doesn't support Mirantis OpenStack.
In an interview, SUSE told us that the support offer is based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with Expanded Support, which covers RHEL and CentOS. Mirantis already supports Ubuntu, and this partnership adds RHEL, CentOS, and SLES, thus offering a one-stop shop for all major Linux enterprise distros.
Red Hat has raised questions about such support and told us that any claim from Mirantis and SUSE that they can provide support for another company's offerings not only makes no sense but would be confusing and potentially dangerous for customers.
Mirantis will offer priority subscriptions in single or three-year terms and include security and other updates, plus 24x7x365 email and phone-based support with guaranteed one-hour response time.
Support is available for current versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, RHEL, and CentOS.

RAWALPINDI, April 20 (APP): Associated Press of Pakistan (APP)
Managing Director Masood Ahmed Malik Wednesday said anti-state forces were hatching conspiracies to weaken the country and the young
generation could foil their nefarious designs by following the teachings of Allama Iqbal and other leaders of Pakistan Movement.
All segments of the society would have to come forward and
play their due role for the country's solidarity, development
and prosperity, he said.
Masood Ahmed Malik, who is also Chairman of National Council
of Writers Pakistan (NCWP), was speaking as chief guest at a
seminar on "Fikr-e-Iqbal and Nasil-e-Nau" here at Rawalpindi

Introduction to the Tao Te Ching
Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching 01/23/2004
or otherwise called the Dao De Jing.
Lao Tzu means "old man" in the sense of a sage who can impart wisdom. "Lao Tzu" can refer to the book as well as the sage. The
work is composed of two parts: Book I the Tao ching, 37 chapters, and Book II: the Te ching, 44 chapters. Tao meaning the way; its derivatives are "movement, head, road, path, way, means, doctrine." Te means the virtue of a thing which it gets from the tao. Its derivatives are morals, virtue, and righteousness; and ching, (I believe) means book, and its derivatives are threads, following a course, warp (of a fabric), pass through, experience, scriptures.[1]
From late sources, Lao Tzu is described as an elder contemporary of Confucius (551-479BCE), who reports of having once gone to him to be instructed in the rites. According to the legend, when Lao Tzu wanted to leave civilization for the West, the Keeper of the Pass asked him to first write a book and he wrote it in 5,000 characters. (There are really more.)
The historical Lao Tzu (old man or sage) may have been a native of the Ch'ü Jen Hamlet in the Li Village of Hu Hsien in the state of Ch'u. His surname was Li, his personal name was Erh and he was styled Tan. He was a historian of the archives of Chou.[2] Legend has it he became 160 years old.
That the books were written by him accords merely to legends. The Tao te ching is really an anthology, according to D.C. Lau, showing the insertions of verses by some later schools of Chinese thought, e.g., the ying and the yang, the male and female principles of the universe, mentioned only once in LV; heaven identified with the tao, rather than the tao replacing the concept of heaven, the "one" as the tao compared to a new born babe also in LV. Lao ch'eng tzu literally means "an old man with mature wisdom."[3]
According to D.C. Lau, some material in the Tao te ching goes back to the time of Confucius, but the work is best considered an anthology with several editors, and was probably produced sometime between 350-300 BCE.[4] The sayings contained are not those of a particular thinker and augmented by the following school of thought, but they are no more than a collection of passages with a common tendency of thought.[5] It is representative of Taoism as opposed to Confucianism. The critique of Confucius by Lao Tzu as reported in the Analects, probably represents contention between the these two Chinese traditions.
The most important terms in the work are of course tao, the one, the way of heaven, nothing, emptiness, weakness, holding fast to the submissive, using the lower terms as opposed to the higher terms. (But that already gets into describing the tao.) The no-name, no-action emphasis, the sage, all are important terms, as well as the myriad creatures, limpidity, the uncarved block, etc.
The spirit of the work is not mystical so much as moral, but very much a contribution to the art of government as well. The Chinese in this period did not separate personal morality from the art of government. The way of Heaven, understood as the tao, is what the human being ought to follow, whether leading one's individual life or in the government of the state. By the way, the insight does not stay at the borders of a country, but through them, to what expands and sustains an empire. So ethics and politics are two aspects of the same thing for Taoism, and "one who has the tao, will be inwardly a sage and outwardly a king." "A sage is a ruler who understands the tao."[6] The former statement works in our democracy, because it should describe the citizens of our form of government. The latter statement, about the sage-king, is aligned with the Greek hopes of a philosopher king, and the Hebrew Messiah. Ethically the idea of limiting desires bears weight, as well as doing nothing in order to see that nothing is left undone. [That's like Luther's justification by faith.] Let's have a good time delving into the rich meaning of these Chinese texts which are over 2,300 years old and still preserved for our critical instruction.
Note: this version of the Tao te ching translated by D.C. Lau is very traditional. I discovered a new English version by Ursula K. Le Guin, who spent 25 years, I believe, in translating these verses. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: a Book about the Way and the Power of the Way, (Boston: Shambhala Press, 1997). They are a fresh and wonderful read, mostly stripping away the political emphasis, however.

In Italian folklore, Befana is an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy on Epiphany Eve (the night of January 5) in a similar way to Santa Claus. This Italian gift-giving spirit may also be known as Saint Befana, La Vecchia (the Old Woman), La Strega (the Witch), and another opportunity for parents to put their hands in their pockets for festive merchandise.
In popular folklore, Befana visits all the children of Italy on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany to fill their socks with candy and presents if they are good or a lump of coal or dark candy if they are bad. Our children were lucky enough to receive Befana with a small stocking of Kinder chocolates and a book each. We were also pleasantly surprised when the lovely Signora across our hall came bearing gifts of dolls and blocks. Her generosity was overwhelming, we are lucky enough to have the lovely culinary smells that come from her apartment everyday, gifts are not expected. (Perhaps it was a bribery to keep the noise down?)
Being a good housekeeper, many say Befana will sweep the floor before she leaves. The child's family typically leaves a small glass of wine and a plate with a few morsels of food, often regional or local, for the Befana. I did not leave an offering of food, is that why the witch did not clean my house? Children are left with gifts, I am left with dust... maybe next year?

Whoever said 'patience is a virtue' had to be an unstressed, noncompetitive person. If you're like me, and Violet Bouregard, you want it and you want it NOW, Daddy! But it's the virtuous ones that get the payoff in the end. Not that I'm virtuous, but I did learn a lesson.
The tiny island of Coronado hosted their annual Independence Day 15K run last weekend, and I and several of the Gorilla Multisport coaches were there to represent. Since my disastrous run in Minnesota just two weeks earlier, I was in no mood to attempt any sort of record-breaking performance. But in the back of my mind I thought I'd love to beat my last year's time.
And beat it I did. I ran a faster pace than I had ever, even in my wildest dreams, thought was possible for me. I PR'd by eight minutes -- a minute plus per mile faster than I had ever run ...ever! I was ecstatic!
I realized, once again, that hard work pays off. But more than ever, you need to be patient. Success will come if you've put in the hard work. Don't give up. Keep trying. I promise in the end, it will all be worth it.

The big question - one that will affect global business on and under the sea for generations - is whether the U.S. will subscribe to what Third World leaders and international bureaucrats hail as "the constitution of the oceans."
I have long argued we should not. Although many of the treaty's navigational and fishing provisions are unobjectionable, the core of the new international law is a collectivist cartel that conflicts with our national interests and betrays the spirit of capitalism.
Back in the '70s, as the have-not nations were touting a "new world economic order" to redistribute the world's wealth, Carterites and some liberal Republicans enlisted in the cause to declare the resources of the sea bottom "the common heritage of mankind."
Their essential idea was that entrepreneurs of the industrial nations would mine the seas for mineral wealth, just as explorers and discoverers did for centuries, but with this difference: Most of the product of free enterprise would be turned over to a Socialist "Enterprise," a vast new U.N. bureaucracy that would both regulate and compete with the miners of the sea.
The philosophy was wrong. John Locke, on whose writings Thomas Jefferson drew, held that when a person mixed his labor with a material resource, the person acquired a property right in that resource. That provided a profit motive, the incentive to explore and develop that created fortunes and built industrial democracies.
But under the Marxian collectivist philosophy expressed in the Law of the Sea, the ocean resources belonged not to the ones who found it, but to the United Nations. An OPEC-style cartel would graciously allow the developers to keep a part of their stake, but would demand they share their technology and would determine production and prices.

The United Methodist General Board of Church & Society condemns the attacks by the insurgency group Boko Haram in Baga and other towns in northern Nigeria that resulted in almost 200 deaths this month. We grieve with the families over the innocent lives lost in the Baga massacre, where 150 persons died. We pray for the innumerable displaced persons seeking security in the wake of such senseless violence.
We know that God hears the cries of the widow and the orphan.
We know that God hears the cries of the widow and the orphan. We pray with our brothers and sisters of Nigeria, and for those in that beleaguered country and surrounding nations receiving so many persons struggling with devastating displacement.
The United Methodist Social Principles emphasize that God's world is one world. They point out, however, that the "increase of tyranny in all its forms" must be resolved (¶165). People must feel secure in their right to live within any community, if stability is to prevail. Our Social Principles also denounce as immoral any ordering of life that perpetuates injustice and impedes the pursuit of peace.
Consequently, we urge United Methodists to:
- Call on the Nigerian government to investigate these violent acts, and take measures to protect its citizens from such violence.
- Advocate for international relief aid and cooperation on all matters of need and conflict, especially in regards to this most recent horrendous situation.
As United Methodists, we reaffirm our historic concern for the world as our parish. We seek for all persons full, equal membership in a true world community as God intended.

Eagles down Spring Mills
SPRING MILLS — Hedgesville could sense it was on the verge of victory over Spring Mills in Eastern Panhandle Athletic League baseball action on Thursday night.
The Eagles just had to wait a bit because of a lightning delay and then play the last two innings before they were able to finish off an 8-5 victory.
Not to mention Hedgesville had to overcome a five-run second inning by Spring Mills, helped in part because of inefficient infield play, after the Eagles had gone ahead with four runs in the top of the inning.
"We've been struggling to get runs on the board and trouble making routine plays," Hedgesville coach Aaron Whitford said. "It was nice to see we could battle back from adversity, take the lead and hold it."
Hedgesville suffered three errors in the second inning, botched a rundown situation and also had a wind-blown pop fly land safely about four feet in front of home plate for a single by Jackson Hypes.
It all added up to a five-run inning by the Cardinals.
However, Hedgesville tacked on two runs in each of the next two innings, and pitcher Chase Delauter scattered three hits over the final five innings to gain the victory.
After a delay of about a half-hour, Delauter came back with a pair of 1-2-3 innings, striking out four.
His teammates gave him a 4-0 lead in the top of the second, starting with Jacob Martin's first-pitch home run to left field.
Tyler Vanderwijst followed with a single, Dylan Sexton doubled and Tyler Bubb, the Eagles' ninth hitter in the lineup, doubled home both runners. Delauter's double plated Bubb with Hedgesville's fourth run.
Hedgesville's lead was short-lived, however.
Evin Hurt and Braden Stutzman started the rally by the Cardinals with singles. After a fielder's choice on Hunter Munson's nubber that resulted in Hedgesville not getting an out loaded the bases, Josh Kerns doubled in two runs.
Back-to-back errors at second base and shortstop brought home two more runs, then Hypes' 30-foot-high, 4-foot-long single drove in the fifth run.
In the third, Hunter Coe walked to open the inning for Hedgesville, Andrew Berry singled and Calvin Covington singled in the tying run. Vanderwijst's sacrifice fly brought home Berry.
In the fourth, Delauter walked, and his courtesy runner, Matt Ruppenthal, scored eventually on a wild pitch. A single by Berry drove in Coe, who reached on an error.
Berry added a double in the sixth to finish with three hits. Bubb had two hits.
Hunter Munson and Dylan Moss had two hits apiece to lead the offense for Spring Mills (12-11).
Hedgesville is 11-12.

As far as I'm concerned, while the actual sounds of your percussion performances are interesting, the process leading up to the sound is even more fascinating–the look and sound of you leaping around, the rustle of your clothes, friction with the air, the sounds of your breathing and your hair whipping around. You would really need to capture all those sounds as well.
The process which I am conscious of when I perform is slightly different from everyone else's. Before I make any sounds, first of all I breathe in all the air in the performing space. Most performers feed off the audience, but I'm conscious of entering into a relationship with the actual air in the place, even before the audience has arrived. After breathing in all the air, when I breathe out again I want to engulf the audience in that air. And then on top of that, I want to return the air to its original state again. When I breathe in all that air and engulf the audience in it, it feels like I have become god. That in itself would be blasphemy, which is why I then return the air to its original state. That's the process that I'm always aware of. This might sound like a joke, but it's not–it's easy to become god, but difficult to keep that power. People often say that my sounds are loud, and that can be a negative thing. It's not the sounds that are loud, it's me. I actually become the sounds. People often say how opera singers should sing not from the throat but from the diaphragm, or with their whole bodies. But that just limits the sound to yourself–what I want to do is make the air
vibrate. And that's why it's loud. I give my body to the air. That makes the air vibrate–that's what I'm doing with the percussion. In the past, when I didn't have that much power, I wasn't able to make people concentrate fully on the sounds. Now I can do that because, in one sense, I can control the whole space. And everyone then goes along with what I want to do. That's how I become god. But because that's blasphemy, I always return the air again to its original state. And by doing that I will be forgiven.
When I'm doing a percussion performance, I am very conscious of myself as one part of the universe. In one sense, there's nothing that I'm forbidden to do. That said, I can't do anything that's going to injure someone in the audience and so far, luckily I've managed to avoid doing so. I'm always ultra careful when I'm doing a percussion performance. It's usually in small venues, and if I were to slip, which is easy to do, with one of the big cymbals and hit someone in the head with it, I'd kill them. That's the only thing I'm thinking about. I can relive the times when I was at kindergarten and I would be playing in the sand-pit. I can do whatever I want, everything is permitted.
Is it possible for you to do the percussion in the studio, or do you need the energy of an actual audience?
I can do it but it's very boring. Of all the things I do, the percussion requires the closest relationship with the audience. But really, everything I do is the same–I need some reaction, whether it's someone telling me to shut up or someone applauding, and the music moves and changes according to that. I get a good vibration from the people who come and see me play live now, so I can get through the performance without any negativity. Before the performance begins and the audience are sitting there waiting, I believe I can pick up a good vibration from them. In the past, if there were people who weren't really interested in what I was doing, I would lose their vibration. I would start putting out negative vibrations, I'd want them to go home. But recently, I don't know why, there's a good vibration, and in return I feel that I have gradually become able to make people feel good.
Is the audience vibration more important for the percussion than it is for the guitar and vocal stuff?
Yeah, definitely. When there's a feeling of rejection or something happens at a percussion performance, I can only perform within my own expectations. There's no sense of surprise. If there isn't a good vibration then I can't enjoy the performance. If I'm not surprised at what I'm doing then there's no way that the audience will be either. What surprises people is seeing something that they've never seen before. For me to feel that sense of surprise depends to a large extent on the atmosphere–it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but I need some kind of an atmosphere to react with.
You are doing something totally new with the percussion, but I think a lot of people have a tendency to look on it as somehow "primitive."
People look at something they really don't understand, and they label it "primitive." On the other hand, I think that prayers and curses ultimately head in that direction. It's easy just to label the percussion as primitive and leave it at that, but as I see it it's very simple. First, I use very few sounds, it's stripped down to the essentials–the problem then is why you perceive that as "primitive."
Primitive in the sense that it's just your body and some very basic sound producing objects. There's no electricity involved. The object could be as basic as a rock, and you use it to produce a rhythm. But people are still immensely moved by something that basic, that primitive.
Why should people be moved only by primitive things? That sounds bogus and condescending. That type of reaction is just the same as the trap that all those "world music" people fall into. Japanese are especially susceptible to that line.
The first two or three times I saw you play, your music had an actual physical effect on my body. After the performance was finished I'd be unable to stand up, I'd feel really light-headed, sometimes even slightly nauseous. It was almost like it was taking my body a time to adjust to something totally new–as if I had been eating nothing but burgers and drinking Coke for years and then suddenly switched to vegetables and water. It would take my body time to readjust to the new diet, and there would be some physical "withdrawal" symptoms, if you like. Is that kind of physical effect on your listeners something that you are conscious of or aim for?
I think it's slightly different. Because I'm trying to do something that hasn't existed before, there are certain effects that come along with it. I think the main problem is my consciousness. Sometimes I feel like playing percussion, or guitar, or ethnic instruments, or singing–so I do. But I don't do it in order to produce some specific effect on someone.
Is that the same as you were saying earlier about prayers and curses?
For me, everything is the same.
Like you're just doing something, without any intentions. Your heart is always calm. That's how I perceive you.
In one sense, things like that happen by accident. But they do happen all the time. On the other hand, when I go home after playing and my body is aching, I always think, "why do I do this?" Actually I went to shiatsu
this morning–it
hurts. I wonder how long I can keep on doing this. The worse the state your body is in, the more painful it is. If you press on your hand like this, there shouldn't be any resistance to your finger. But when there's something wrong, and circulation isn't correct, your body actually resists and won't let the fingers penetrate into the flesh. And because the body is resisting, shiatsu feels really painful. Because I use my body in performance it gets really tense. So I still think, "why am I doing this?" I can't explain why my music has that kind of effect on the body. If I became unable to move my hand I couldn't play guitar anymore–that's the only way I can explain it. For me, the whole body of a great singer resonates to produce the sounds. I feel that I'm very close to accomplishing this, but if I'm just slightly off in my technique then it hurts. Breathing out hurts sometimes. The idea isn't to project your voice using your whole body, but to make your body resonate. You understand? Not a massive explosion of energy, but a buildup of concentration within the body and then you sing. The problem isn't the volume or tone that you're able to produce but your consciousness.

You'll find across many of our portrait photographs that they are taken out and about rather than in a generic studio. We find that the images are more personal and much more fun, which means a greater end result.
For this particular couple we visited the village which they grew up in and found some great spots for photos, especially the country park! Considering Dan was not informed of the photo shoot until the morning (due to his camera shy personality) in my opinion they look great!

Everyone loves roller coasters–well, at least grade 5 students love roller coasters. As part of our unit inquiring into energy, students tried out their own roller coaster. With several styrofoam pipe insulators, some tape and a marble, they created roller coasters.
As a team, they tried different ideas to make the most complex roller coaster that they could. They talked about slope and speed. They were trying to get enough energy going so the marble would glide easily through twists and turns. Students played, and as they played, they talked physics.

A York-Poquoson Circuit Court judge denied most of the requests made on behalf of a man accused of shooting two people while driving near the York County-Williamsburg border in June, including a request to dismiss several charges against him.
At a hearing Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Richard Rizk granted a defense attorney permission to access information on witnesses in the case to help build a defense for Jonathan Ray McDonald, 29, of Spotsylvania.
The attorney, Patricia Palmer Nagel, also submitted a request for information about a former York-Poquoson deputy who led investigation of the shooting case. Nagel said the investigator, Debra Wentzel, no longer works for the Sheriff's Office "due, in part, to issues involving her credibility."
Rizk didn't rule on that request Thursday.
The shooting occurred June 4 on Old Mooretown Road, according to the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office said the shooting was possibly related to road rage and injured two people who were riding in a vehicle.
A woman who was shot in the head was flown to the Medical College of Virginia Hospital in Richmond, Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Dennis Ivey said. A man who was hit on his left eyebrow was driven to the Medical College of Virginia Hospital by York County medics, Ivey said. Neither person died from their injuries.
After authorities received a tip on Facebook, McDonald was arrested on June 8 in his home in Spotsylvania. He is charged with two counts each of aggravated malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and one count each of shooting from a vehicle, maliciously shooting at an occupied vehicle, felony hit and run and destruction of property, according to court records.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 28.

It's Monday morning (Tuesday for you, reader), and I'm back in the studio again for a week before I'm off to yet another convention. This Saturday is the Inbeon Con: Summer Edition (inbeoncon.com), and it will be my last con until New York Comic Con in October. (Again, sorry folks, I won't be able to make Baltimore Comic-Con because of a wedding I'm in that weekend.) But before all of that, I wanted to thank everyone who attended the Boston Comic Con and helped make this such a successful show! Read more… ›
As a child growing up in New Jersey, the Mennen Arena was this vaguely referred to place where the WWE (then the WWF) would occasionally hold a house show. I never went there as a kid, but somehow I never forgot the name. So when the opportunity came up to attend an event there this past weekend, the little kid in me got just a little curious again. However, it wasn't Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels headlining the event but rather names like Greg Hildebrant, Neal Adams, Mark McKenna and yours truly, J. M. DeSantis (well, maybe I'm not a headliner yet, but I'm hoping my time will come). Read more… ›
Chadhiyana #1 was officially been out for a week (through Rosarium Publishing), but there's still more to come. Late last week, the first issue of Chadhiyana: In the Company of Shadows was added to comiXology.com and even earned a mention on the comiXologist post-San Diego Comic-Con podcast! More, this weekend begins a three-week-straight convention tour for Chadhiyana and myself. Read more… ›
About every two years I replace the image on the standing banner I bring to conventions. It all started with my original 2011 purchase which featured my painting Goddess of Sand–this was the very banner of which people kept asking about the Indian woman depicted and which prompted the creation of Chadhiyana. Chadhiyana, of course, has been featured on my banners ever since. If you've been following me on social media, you've seen shots of art work for my new banner as it came together. On Monday, I finished it and as promised, it's time to show it off. Read more… ›
The school year has only just ended, and with that the summer begins. Yet, as I take leave of my teaching duties for two months, my life is only about to get busier. Indeed, this summer may prove to be one of the most tiring and exciting yet. Honestly, if it weren't for how busy I'm going to be and all of the things that are coming up (fairly soon), I would have reserved this week's blog post for my reflections on my second year of teaching. Instead, I'm going to have to double up on this blog post. Read more… ›
In just one month to the day, I will be exhibiting in Artist Alley at the East Coast ComiCon at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, New Jersey. Interestingly, it will be the first show I've ever done in my native New Jersey. Typically I attend more shows in New York than anywhere else–though it is just across the water. What's more, it's just the first of a growing number of appearances for this year. Read more… ›
As much as I love exhibiting at conventions and meeting new and old fans and industry professionals, conventions are exhausting. Loading everything in and out of the show, the hustle of promoting and selling, giving one Chadhiyana pitch after another so that I feel like a broken record, even though the person in front of me is hearing it for the first time. It takes its toll after a few days have passed, and I always feel ready to sleep for days at the close of the show. (Again, don't mistake me, I love doing conventions.) However, this past weekend I got to experience something a little different than the typical mix of stress and exhilaration of a large comic convention: the Crazy 8 Cartoon Festival. Read more… ›
In just three short weeks, the 2014 New York Comic Con will be opening for professionals on Thursday, October 9th. Following will be three days of comics, video games, pop culture and of course, Chadhiyana. As in the past few years, I will not be in Artist Alley, but rather you can find me in the Small Press area at booth 1259. So, if you're attending the show, make sure you add my booth to your convention plans. Read more… ›
Just a quick reminder that I will be exhibiting in Artist Alley at the Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend (table A109). The convention beings on Friday, September 5th and will run until Sunday, September 7th; however, I will only be attending the convention for two days: Saturday and Sunday. I will not be able to get down to Baltimore until late on September 5th, so I will not have my table set up that day (sorry to those folks who only have Friday tickets). Read more… ›
This year's Boston Comic Con was a fantastic event. In fact, it was by far the most successful show I've had in five years of exhibiting at comic conventions. Of course, as cliché as it is to say, the truth is it wouldn't have been such a success without the support of those who stopped by my table, even if it was just to look and say a few kind words about my work.
That said, I want to thank everyone who bought prints, commissions, bookmarks, and especially those who picked up the second edition of Chadhiyana. I hope you enjoy it, and continue reading the graphic novel, Chadhiyana: In the Company of Shadows on chadhiyana.com. If you weren't at the show, you still have the opportunity to pick up a copy at the Baltimore and New York Comic Cons in the coming months. The comic is also available on IndyPlanet.com (print and digital) and the Inbeon Studios store (digital only). Read more… ›

Be with Me
A very inspiring Singapore film "Be with Me" poetically explores the human desire of longing for love. The pictures shows a elder shopkeeper moans his passing wife, a fat awkward guy secretly admires a girl, and two high school girls madly fall in love, then maybe not. Through these three groups of seemingly unrelated people from different walk of lives, the picture shows us how universal and powerful the longing for love really is. Then the film cuts into its "documentary" element about Theresa Chan, whose real life autobiography is the inspiration of this film. Theresa Chan became deaf and blind since the age of fourteen. In the film, Theresa Chan (who plays herself) makes her life joyful and makes an incredible impact of the lives of others, and eventually connected those three group people blended in the movie. The cinematography of this film is simply amazing. It's the quiet type of film, out of ninety-three minutes, the film only has a two and a half minute dialogue. But strangely, it's not a depressing film. When the movie is over, you feel inspired by Theresa Chan.
When the credits roll, the casts are listed under three categories: "Mean to be," "Looking for love," and "So in love." I can't help but fitting myself in one of those categories. I found out that I can't be put into any one single category exclusively. Is that the message this film is trying to let me to take home with? We are all in this game longing for love, no matter who you are.
My rating: 9 out of 10.
