CALDWELL, Idaho — Pitching proved to be the difference for both teams as Southern Oregon and College of Idaho split a Cascade Collegiate Conference softball doubleheader Friday at Symms Field.
College of Idaho took the first game 1-0 and Southern bounced back with a 2-0 victory in the Game 2.
Southern Oregon is now 18-17 overall and 8-11 in conference play this season. College of Idaho goes to 29-13 overall and 12-10 in the CCC.
The Raiders (18-17, 8-11 Cascade) complete their road swing today with another twin bill against Eastern Oregon in La Grande.
C of I pitcher Nickayla Skinner limited the Raiders to three hits to earn the shutout victory in the opener, while Jordyn Kurtz took the tough-luck loss after yielding one run on four hits in six innings. The game was a pitchers' duel all the way to the final frame, as the Yotes (29-13, 12-10) started the seventh with back-to-back singles before scoring the game-winning run on a wild pitch.
The second game proved to be another low-scoring affair as the teams again combined for seven total hits. Karlie Stephens earned the win for the Raiders with the shutout, while Skinner took the loss after giving up two runs on three hits in her second complete-game effort of the day.
UCLA 4, OREGON STATE 0 — At Corvallis, Adam Plutko took a no-hitter into the seventh inning for No. 11 UCLA to open the three-game series at Goss Stadium.
Michael Conforto ended Plutko's no-hit bid when he opened the seventh with a single. Ryan Gorton also singled during the frame for the Oregon State, but that's all the damage the Beavers could inflict on the UCLA starter, who improved to 5-2 this season. He worked 72/3 innings and allowed four walks with five strikeouts.
Ben Wetzler worked 62/3 innings for the Beavers (24-12, 6-7 Pac-12), allowing six hits and four runs before being replaced by Scott Schultz with two runners on in the seventh. Wetzler struck out four but also issued four walks and took the loss to drop to 4-2 this season.
OREGON 6, WASHINGTON STATE 2 — At Eugene, a solid start from pitcher Alex Keudell and a pair of extra-base hits from Kyle Garlick led eighth-ranked Oregon to a series-opening victory at PK Park.
Oregon (27-10, 11-5) took a first-inning lead as back-to-back singles from Aaron Payne and Ryon Healy set the table for Garlick, who hit a two-run, two-out triple to put Washington State (18-16, 5-7) behind 2-0 early.
The two-run lead was all Keudell (6-3) needed as the senior pitched seven solid innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits, and tying a season high with seven strikeouts.
Oregon extended its lead to 5-1 in the fourth as Garlick led off the bottom of the inning with a solo home run, to claim his fifth round-tripper of the season. Thomas Walker continued the inning with a double to left center, before scoring on Kevin Shepherd's RBI single up the middle. Shepherd moved into scoring position on the play, and scored after stealing third as the throw from catcher Collin Slaybaugh was wide of the bag, allowing Shepherd to score on the error.
Relievers Tommy Thorpe, and Jimmie Sherfy kept the lead intact for Keudell. Thorpe struck out three batters, while Sherfy struck out two. Sherfy has 55 strikeouts on the year in 361/3 innings.
Garlick finished his day 2-for-3 with three RBIs and one run scored, while Payne added two hits as well.

CFMEU official Robert Paul McJannett on Bali drug charges
By Cindy Wockner and Komang Suriadi in Bali and Janet Fife-Yeomans in Sydney
The Daily Telegraph
December 30, 2009
Robert Paul McJannett is taken away by an Indonesian policeman after being arrested for drugs at a Bali airport.
Surely this is all a big mistake? An Australian Labor Party fundraiser,and Unionist accused of possession and importing DRUGS in Bali? For God's sake man say it ain't so!!!! one of the custodeons of Australia's Moral Compass a member of the Australian Council of Trade Unions,ACTU,accused of such a crime? Please someone tell me I have awoken after too much Christmas cheer and am befuddled and confused? No?
I am sure Comrade Kevin 07 Rudd and the Australian Labor Party will be able to sort out this obvious mistake made here by the Bali Police and this good servant of the ALP and the CFMEU will be able to continue on with his holiday unhindered by any further mistakes been made by the authorities.
AN Australian union leader faces a lengthy stint in an Indonesian jail after allegedly trying to smuggle just 2g of marijuana hidden in a sock into Bali.
CFMEU official Robert Paul McJannett was arrested early yesterday at Bali's airport and is now in custody at the holiday island's police headquarters, being interrogated about the drugs found in his luggage.
The marijuana was allegedly in a plastic ziplock bag hidden in a sock along with sachets of coffee. Coffee is used to disguise the smell of drugs.
McJannett may be sent to Kerobokan jail, where Schapelle Corby, who was arrested in similar circumstances, and the heroin gang dubbed the Bali Nine, are held.
As he was transferred in handcuffs from the airport Customs office to the police station yesterday, McJannett, 48, asked why the "paparazzi" were photographing him.
McJannett, a Perth crane operator who this year challenged for leadership of the West Australian branch of the CFMEU, arrived in Bali with his 21-year-old son on Virgin flight 4172 about 11.30pm on Monday.
The pair had planned a five-day holiday in the popular resort island.
But when Customs officers searched McJannett's suitcase they allegedly found the 2g of marijuana.
Bagus Endro, the head of Customs investigations at Ngurah Rai airport, said an X-ray of McJannett's suitcase had raised suspicions because the tin foil had shown up.
Mr Endro said that when McJannett was initially approached he had refused to open the small bag containing the drugs.
He allegedly later claimed a business partner may have wanted to trap him.
The Customs official said McJannett had initially refused a urine test and had made a failed attempt to throw the drug into a drain in the detention room.
Under Indonesia's harsh drug laws, McJannett is likely to face charges of possession and importing drugs, which carry a sentence of up to 10 years behind bars.
He is the latest in a long line of Australians who have found themselves on the wrong side of Indonesia's drug regime after being arrested on Bali.
Former Gold Coast beauty therapy student Schapelle Corby is serving a 20-year sentence after being arrested with 4.1kg of marijuana in her luggage as she came into Bali.
Three members of the Bali Nine are currently on death row for their roles in an 8.2kg heroin haul.
Other Australian tourists arrested with small amounts of drugs while holidaying in Bali have served terms of up to six months for drug possession.
Could this be Schapelle Corby's revenge upon the ACTU?
Were the drugs his or his son's and is he just taking the fall ?
Either way there are, unless Beijing's man on the ground in Australia, and the ACTU's #1 member,Australian PM Kevin 07 Rudd, can make a few phone calls to his new best friends in Indonesia,many tears before bed time to be shed by Robert Paul McJannett and his Family and his fellow ALP /ACTU Comrades before this "arrest mistake" is sorted out.
Good Luck Bob you are gonna NEED IT.

I forget the exact wording, but the key points I made to the big sook were:
1. He rants about cowardly cads bagging him on the Amiga forums who don't have the guts to tell him directly on his magazine - then gets stuck into them on his magazine, not on their Amiga forums...
2. He boasts about playing the Clarinet?
3. He rants and raves about his post being intended to "stir up emotion", but the only one getting emotional is him.
I particularly like the list of life achievements. Hmmm, let's see - would I rather....
Play the Clarinet, dabble in electrical engineering (hello ladies!), write software for 10yo kids and write for magazines, or....
Marry a ballet dancer, earn megabucks by sitting behind a big desk and telling people what to do, enjoy the food/ wine/ hospitality/ accomodation at the world's finest private clubs, travel the world and get paid to do it (not in economy either, Bazza), make a critical difference to struggling primary producers who are being screwed by major corporations, and take the piss out of people who think they are awesome because they play the Clarinet and write for magazines?
My 15 month old son has a more highly developed sense of self-worth than this chump change.
Anyway, I play the Piano. Pianists always pulled better chicks than Clarinet players.
I wonder if this post (designed to spark an emotional response) will be up to the task?

E-Mailer Rips 'Stupid' Columnist, Sports Pages; Sunday Paper Soars to $2
My correspondents have found a couple of emotionally-charged topics regarding the local paper to write about in recent days.
The first e-mail:
"Less than a week after the nasty remarks about Internet sports sites that the gallactically stupid Nancy Clark wrote in her Register column, she is shown to be the dinosaur she is. Compare the Register's three or four stories on Iowa football since media day on Monday to the all-out coverage Jon Miller has provided on Hawkeye Nation. Hawk fans are treated to photo galleries of players, numerous audio interviews, and several times as many print stories than have appeared in the Register. The recently announced acquisition of Hawkeye Nation's parent company, Scout.com, by FOX ensures resources will not be a problem.
"The choice is simple for Iowa football fans. Internet sites represent the future of sports coverage while Nancy Clark lives in the past. Perhaps the Register will now send a reporter to cover the Des Moines Roosevelt-Ottumwa football game. That is now their market....and it's in the Golden Circle.
"Barry Crist
"West Des Moines"
[RON MALY'S COMMENTS: Crist is correct. There's no way the local paper or any other newspaper can keep up with the massive and thorough sports coverage of Internet sites these days. Newspapers are trying to survive in the 21st century with a 20th-century product. Newspapers are attempting desperately to compete with the Web by saying they're beefing up their Internet sites, but it's a case of too little, too late. Hawkeye Nation and Cyclone Nation are among the very best in the business. I'm told that Hawkeye Nation cranked out more than 70 items and published more than 200 photos last week. A man close to the scene tells me, "Were I at a paper last week, and saw what [Hawkeye Nation] did, I would feel a bit uncomfortable."]
The other e-mail:
"Without any notice or announcement, the Des Moines Register raised the newsstand price of the Sunday paper to $2. That's a 33 percent increase.
"It is still $1.50 in the vending machines, but that is likely to change soon because the cost now listed on the front page masthead is $2.
"I wonder how many other papers in the country charge $2.
"Bud Appleby
"Des Moines"
[RON MALY'S COMMENTS: Two bucks for the Sunday paper is a crime. In the old days, the bosses would at least put a note on the front page of the paper to inform readers of the price increase and the reason for it. I'd like to think the people who run the place are embarrassed by the price-gouging, but the word "embarrassment" isn't part of their vocabulary these days. It appears to me that the folks in charge tried to slip the price increase past everyone, hoping they could get their hands in your pockets before you noticed their dirty fingernails. I'd guess the newest price bump is meant to cover the latest drops in circulation or to pay for the transportation costs of job-seekers coming into town to interview for the mess Paul Anger left of the editor's position].

John McCain and Sarah Palin are applauded by grassroots America because they are genuine. They are real. They are "transparent," to use one of Sarah Palin's favorite terms.
B. Hussein Obama and Joe Biden are at the extreme other end of the spectrum. Those two are your usual deceitful wordsmiths. And that means real-life real-time awesome doom for America if they get to the White House.
McCain and Palin, on "the stump" in Iowa, gave forth with such genuineness that it was overwhelming—not just emotionally but intellectually. The crowd was mesmerized. They were enthralled. They were sincerely welded as one.
McCain and Palin both caught the hearts of their audience. But they got hold of those heads as well.
McCain and Palin spoke to the prime issues. When they did, they spoke in detail—not canned phrases. They delivered explicit specifics regarding the economy and energy in particular.
For instance, Palin detailed energy quotients as if a professor on a university platform. She knows what she is talking about. She expressed the same to Charlie Gibson and Sean Hannity. And for that, the citizens need her expertise, her experience.
Further, thank God both McCain and Palin finally got around to pointing the accusing finger at mask Muslim B. Hussein. It's about time. Political courtesies can go hang at this point. It's time for brutal facts exposing this charlatan of devilment.
The same for Biden. This morning Biden espouses that raising taxes is "patriotic." This is the pinhead Biden. Thank heaven McCain called Biden's proposal "dumb." And with that, we all should chant that the man himself—Joe Biden—is dumb maximum.
No wonder Joe Biden and B. Hussein Obama refuse to stand on the same stage with John McCain and Sarah Palin. The two Dems are no match for McCain and Palin.
McCain in Iowa pleaded for B. Hussein to show up beside him on a public platform to discuss the issues. McCain repeated and repeated again the invitation. But B. Hussein refuses. Why? Because B. Hussein is nothing but a wordsmith. He has nothing but hot air and knows it.
Will America choose The Boy fakery or will America grow up to cast the ballot for genuine, knowledgeable "Put Country First" John McCain and Sarah Palin?

Even if America select McCain I will not be surprised. We can not expect more from a people who selected present president for two terms. He has done whatever he can to to the american economy.ReplyDelete
Select McCain and he may complete what bush has started.
The famous quote I have read in the blog
"George Bush is a Prime example why parents should not think that their children can become any thing when they grow up"
- joe1:07 PM
Wow this blogger grant swank is an obvious bigot. Muslim? Harvard law school president? Columbia grad? lecturer at university of Chicago law school? ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW YOU CLOWN! Yes, terrorists teach the constitution. That makes no logical sense. By the way, look it up- his father was an atheist. Not even raised by him! He was raised by his white mother and then his white grandmother and grandfather. Stop sounding like an idiot. You seem afraid of his middle name because you place emphasis on it as if it scares us.... ooooh oh no Hussein, it means handsome! Now educate your self, become intelligent and then vote. That doesn't mean vote for Obama. It means vote on issues that count, and look beyond the blab and into hard core facts. And get over your racism.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10:21 PM
Didn't you see that article in the New York Times about the guy who started the "Obama is a Muslim" rumors? I know the NYT just endorsed Obama, and it may seem biased to you, but please consider for a moment that it is one of the most respected news sources in the country, and it pointed out a couple of weeks ago that it has run even more negative stories about Obama that it has McCain...ReplyDelete
Anyway, the allegations that Obama is a Muslim are completely false. The man who imagined them was denied a license to practice law because he was deemed emotionally and mentally unstable by the Illinois Bar Association. Barack Obama is not Islamic.
What's gross, though, is that so many people seem to think that being Islamic in and of itself should disqualify you from the presidency. The Constitution was not written with the intent of making the United States a "Christian Nation." Many of our founding fathers abhorred Christianity--Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin being perhaps the most prominent. Our Constitution has an explicit clause that mandates the separation of church and state, meaning that religion has no place in legislative government. Therefore, a candidate's religion should not be considered an issue in the American political system--in fact, the trend lately to justify political actions with the "on-the-side-of-God" argument is clearly and blatantly unconstitutional.
On another note, so many Americans are so unbelievably confused about what they want in a leader. We brag that America is the best and strongest country in the world, so obviously, when we elect a President of the United States of America, we are, at least in our minds, electing the leader of the free world. If this election could be decided by the rest of the world, Barack Obama would win by a landslide, yet there are so many of us who consider this a strong negative--if the Europeans like him, he must be anti-American.
It's absolutely true that the rest of the world looks to America as a leader. I was actually extremely impressed with President Bush's announcement this week that, even in this difficult economy, it is our responsibility to continue to offer aid to countries in need. I heartily agree with that, and it sets a good example to other nations in a position to help. If we elect John McCain, we will affirm to the world that we are a country of racists--on a global stage, Obama is the clear choice, and the only reason we would fail to put him in the White House is because we are afraid of voting for a black man.
Please, rethink the logistics of your argument, and rethink the position of President of the United States. It's more important than being able to relate to a hockey mom--if we want to continue to be leaders of the free world, we have to elect a person to the highest office in the land that the free world will be willing to follow.

That is not nice. In fact, it's downright naughty to expect Santa to fill something so heinous. Maine's own Christmas Cove Designs can help. Since 1981, Jefferson Cotton and his elves have created beautiful, heirloom-quality wool stockings. Today, they are available in dozens of designs, from traditional stripes and Santas to the nautical-themed lobsters and lighthouses (in this case, nauti is nice). And at $39.50, they may not give Wal-Mart a run for its money, but they won't break the bank, either.
You can hang a stocking like this with pride. And when you wake up Christmas morning, you won't need to worry: Santa wouldn't put coal in something so pretty.
To order, visit Christmas Cove Designs or call 1.800.737.2128.

On a day when bad news was buried and the real issues of the economy were swept aside, Newsnight get it right. A very good discussion on what is going in the shop floor of the economy and how people are dealing with the situation.
The conclusion is that people do not have much faith in the Government to come up with answers to solve the problems.
Well worth a watch.

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life" Proverbs 13:12
Sunday, November 13, 2011
Getting Help
I'm so scared. Before her news I was really looking forward to moving back to my home town in a month. Now it just feels like there will be so much hardness associated with the move.
And Spiritually I am in a bad place. I'm conscious that not everyone who reads this blog believes the same things I do (thought some of you do), so apologies if this doesn't make sense. I've been in a really bad place with God, really angry, falling apart. This is a normal part of infertility- and I know he can handle it. But it has become something that is not healthy. A battle. It has become like a wrestle with him, I argue why he has to baby, I try to manipulate him with my emotions (ie If you don't give me a baby right now I will blah, blah, blah).
When I was pregnant with Thumper, I remember reading a post by someone who was going through similar things- being really angry with God about their infertility. And I thought, in my arrogant pregnancy bliss "If you would just keep trusting him, he will look after you". Several weeks later, Thumper was in Heaven and this women was pregnant. I think for some really weird reason I have it in my head that if I get to the very lowest of lows then God will finally give me a baby. But God is not one to be manipulated, and I don't want to be someone who only loves and serves when things are going well. I want to keep trusting him.
I caught up with friends after I heard my BFFs news. I didn't tell them, but I was pretty upset and one of the girls said "Maybe its time to get some help". I told her I would see my counsellor again. Hubby is also going to organise a meeting with a friend who is a bit of a Christian Mentor figure.
And so I will try to do something about this mess I am in. Because I don't like this person I am becoming.

I can relate times about a million!!!! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right formula for getting God to give me a baby... I always know that's not the way it works, but I've still done it more than I care to admit. It is normal to go through all this. It's not really who you are, but it is a phase you're going through. I'm so glad you're seeking help for it. When I was at my worst, I waited too long to get help, and I regret I didn't do it sooner.ReplyDelete
You have a lot of things happening at once, you know - even though move, which you're looking forward to - can't help but add stress. Moving is always stressful, even when it's what you want. That on top of the news, and your own grief and probably a lot of other changes... it's an awful lot, so don't be hard on yourself.
Prayers and much love!!!!

We might live in uncertain times, but this much I do know: I do not face an uncertain future. My hope is built on Jesus Christ and His promises. He said He will be with me until the end of the age. He promised to prepare a place for me in heaven. He promised that He will never leave me nor forsake me. I praise Him for who He is to me! No matter what trials wait around the bend, I know He is already there, waiting to bestow on me the strength, discernment, peace, and comfort I need to navigate life's curving roads. I am never alone!

As reported in this Sun-Times article, US District Court Judge Charles Norgle told the reparations plaintiffs that they had insufficient evidence of direct, "individualized harms... at the hands of the defendants."
In response, Conrad Worrill, the chairman of the Nat'l Black United Front gave the predictable: "His eyes are the eyes of a racist."
When you can't bully somebody into giving you what you want, when you don't agree with him, call him names. That will really do your cause a world of good.
What the reparationists are demanding -- even when it comes directly from a corporation which has admitted it gained some wealth as a result of slave industry or trade in centuries past -- is that everybody pony up.... Not just the family which owned the business, but all other investors since that date, even those who were not in this country before the Civil War. In other words, they want payment from people who were not involved in a thing which ended generations before either side was born. The suit is attempted theft, and is inherently racist, to boot.
It's nice to see a judge who reads the law, first.

I will read anything I can get my hands on. Seriously.
Most books I read are reviewed for Harlequin Junkie, but I'll have an occasional independent or author requested review that I'll post.
'This wasn't about changing things, or finding deep feelings. It was about letting go, exploring this completely unknown level of chemistry. That was all.'
Breaking All Her Rules is a fast and flirtatious Cosmo Red Hot Reads novella by the one and only Maisey Yates.
Every time I read one of these short stories I know I'm in for a super hot romance, but the rest of the plot remains to be seen. This time around, we get two very different characters, both of whom were searching for their place to belong and for something that would make them feel content. I thought the premise behind Zach and Grace's chance meeting by sharing a cab and grabbing the wrong cell phones was a nice place to start a romance. The complex feelings and intense love scenes that followed were just a bonus for us readers.

Plus she has some of the best fabrics and each time it takes me back down memory lane just by touching them. Sylvia thank you.

Source Material:
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, by Wallace Stevens
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the blackbird.
I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three blackbirds.
The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.
It was a small part of the pantomime.
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a blackbird
Are one.
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
Icicles filled the long window
With barbaric glass.
The shadow of the blackbird
Crossed it, to and fro.
The mood
Traced in the shadow
An indecipherable cause.
O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the blackbird
Walks around the feet
Of the women about you?
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.
When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.
At the sight of blackbirds
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For blackbirds.
The river is moving.
The blackbird must be flying.
It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

Greetings All, Last night I was at the Highland Park High School in Highland Park, IL for their Art Night: Imagine the Possibilities. The whole school was a buzz with painters, potters, glass workers, carvers, etc. I had on display some art quilts, lap quilts, and some wearables and postcards. People were amazed at the fiber postcards most of all and they were allowed to create their own version with the use of fabrics and paper and they had a grand old time as seen below. Tonight the school will be filled with the art of dance.

My husband is away this weekend presenting a paper at a conference, and my lack of vacation time kept me from tagging along, which is absolutely nerdtastic but disappointing nonetheless. This academic journey of his has become more of a team effort than ever, with both of us sharing the uncertainty and burdens and changes that have rolled in. So, I'm sad to miss this first, more public accomplishment in person. But hopefully it's just the first of many.
In the meantime, Introvert Anna was really really REALLY looking forward to some alone time. Not that I expected the routine would really differ from when he's home; it's not like I go to bed with a full faceload of makeup or have perfect hair around the clock when we're both here, and five days alone means a break from that or anything. I expected to function pretty much the same, other than maybe cooking something I know he doesn't like and watching stupid tv that would otherwise invite him to mock me.
But heavens to mergatroid, people, have I ever felt like a single parent this week. And I'm not even a parent to a human. Granted, my child is a fairly high maintenance dog, and cannot be carried around in my purse for my convenience. The poor guy has sat alone for whole days while I'm at work, and then to attempt to make it up to him I've taken him for a long walk, sprints fetching at the dog park, and an exhausted walk home. On Wednesday, this was followed by a trip to the grocery store, the liquor store for some wine, and then a round of dishwashing(which is quite the undertaking without a dishwasher, sometimes) and risotto cooking. And then I turned around and it was 8:45. And I hadn't even eaten yet. Since I had to be up at 5:30 the next day I should have just skipped a few steps and eaten in bed to save time.
Now, those of you who are parents to one or more human children, don't even comment. I know what you're going to say. I promise. And I know that I DON'T EVEN KNOW how crazy nuts it can be. And really, I'm not worn into the ground or anything- but I am very glad it is finally Saturday, and I don't have a schedule looming over me and gobbling up all this alone time I thought I was going to get to savor all by my sweet self. I guess it's good to know that I can get done what needs to get done, even if I don't love how a touch of bitter disappoinment tastes going down.
Even now, I need to chase down all the black Toby-hair dust bunnies running amuck, and scrub the bathrooms down. But, those don't have to get done. What does have to get knitted is a wee baby blanket, and of course I can't do that without a cup of tea and a movie. My prioritizing skills are remarkable, I know.

The Princess and the Frog Cupcake
With the release of the brand new Disney fairytale movie, The Princess and the Frog on December 11 http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/princessandthefrog/index_full.html it only seems fitting to offer you an exclusive sneak- peek from my forthcoming Pink Princess Cupcakes Cookbook, Barbara Beery, Gibbs Smith, Publisher http://www.gibbs-smith.com/. Here is our recipe for the adorable and delectable Pink Princess Kiss the Frog Cupcake that you can make, bake and decorate this holiday season. To buy the fanciful flower-shaped silicone & Eco-friendly cupcake liners in which our cupcakes are baked go to http://kidscookingshop.com/silicone-bake-cups-flower-petal .
Makes 24 cupcakes
Cupcake, Frosting & Decorating Ingredients
1 package vanilla cake mix
1 can purchased vanilla frosting
Pink & lime green paste food colorings
1 bag (14 ounces) Wilton Candy Melts
Frog candy mold
Black and pink tube decorating gels
Optional Star-shaped candy decors
Let's hop to it and start baking!
1. Make, bake and cool the cupcakes according to directions, adding enough pink paste food coloring to the batter before baking to make it bright pink.
2. Put one-fourth of the canned frosting in a separate bowl and add enough pink paste food coloring to make it bright pink. Add the lime green paste food coloring to the remaining frosting. Set aside until ready to use.
3. Following the directions on the Candy Melts, make 24 candy frogs using the candy mold. Always be careful when working with hot liquids and make sure you have the help of your adult helper.
4. When you are ready to assemble the cupcakes, frost the top of each cupcake green to resemble a lily pad and then set a candy frog in the center. Use black gel to make the frog's pupils and pink gel to make his mouth.
5. Place bright pink frosting inside a small zipper close plastic bag and securely seal shut. With a scissors cut off a tiny tip from one corner. Squeeze out frosting and pipe pink around the edge of each cupcake and place one little frosting decoration next to the frog or use a star-shaped candy décor.

Short Story Break 1
By Douglas Vance Castagna
Blood stained the sidewalk on West 57th street in front of the Brigadoon comedy club. It was one in the morning when the coroner arrived and pronounced the victim dead. The victim was carted away in the meat wagon fifteen minutes later. The police questioned the throng of people who had gathered to watch the scene unfold since the shooting. None of them had seen anything. When the news van came, and the reporter stepped out, combing his thick shiny black mane of hair and checking for remnants of food between his teeth by looking in the van's mirror, several eyewitnesses appeared out of the faceless crowd to be on television. The reporter stepped over the blood stains on the sidewalk to interview a short fat woman walking her little black poodle Fifi.
"I saw the whole thing," she said smiling for the camera. All she had to say however was something about how the Mayor was screwing up the city. The reporter moved on to the next person and asked him what happened, he to had nothing valid to say either, but he was much more photogenic.
Across the street in Krandall's deli sat the shooter eating a corned beef on rye with mustard and a slice of new pickle. Andrew looked up from his sandwich, there was a bit of mustard in the corner of his mouth and he wiped it away with his napkin.
He bit into a new pickle and remembered what he had done.
After the show he left the club, crossed the street and got into his car. He made a broken K turn on the corner, he was aware of the illegality of U turns. He pulled up in front of the club and let the engine idle. He reached into his glove compartment and pulled out the small .22 and checked to see if it was loaded. A few minutes went by as Andrew watched the club empty out.
Then he noticed the comedian who had been making fun of him all night. He remebered the teasing , the taunting in school by his classmates. He remembered they way his mother had always treated him. Like a child. She always treated him like that up until the very last breath she expelled while he choked the life from her. No one had ever made fun of him again. Not ever, and on the rare occasion that it did happen, it happened only once. He made sure of that.
All of these feelings It had been humiliating. I didn't even heckle him, he thought. Why did he have to be so mean to me? He choked back a tear and hardened his heart as he had known to do at such a young age.
Andrew slid over to the passenger seat and rolled down the window.
The comedian passed by a few fans and exchanged a couple of words. Then he moved on. The comedian was only a few inches from the car when Andrew stuck his head out of the car and yelled, "Hey funny man!"
The comedian looked up and smiled.
Andrew returned the smile and stuck the gun out of the window and began squeezing the trigger.
The first two bullet entered his chest above the heart, the next one ripped through his throat and the fourth one slammed into his face. The comedian crumpled to the ground without a sound.
Andrew jumped into the driver's seat and floored it.....
He was finished with his sandwich, and looking out the window of Krandall's he noticed that the news van had left. All but a few on lookers remained.
Andrew tipped the waitress and walked out into the street. He looked up at the sky as it had begun to rain. Andrew lifted the collar of his London Fog rain coat and crossed the street. He stood in front of the comedy club and looked down at the chalk outline on the ground and smiled, fully contented with how things had worked out. He even thought that the smell of cordite had been quite pleasant.
Looking up into the street he whistled for a cab. He did not feel like walking in the rain to his car that he parked a few blocks away.
The cab pulled up to the curb. It was a typical standard cab. Andrew hoped a big checkered cab would come by, the one he used to be taken in by his mother but remembered that they, like decent people in the city, were now extinct. Andrew sighed and got in, he paused for a moment and looked at the bloodstained sidewalk on West 57th Street in front of the Brigadoon comedy club. Soon the rain would wash it all away. Soon, Andrew thought, like the rain, he would wash the city clean. Tonight his work had just begun.

Poetry Break 1
-D. V. Castagna
Why can't you see
that all that you do or say
is annoying me,
voices surround me,
words confound me,
escape from misery?
Thoughts of swimming in a bottle
or spike in my vein,
can they
keep me from going insane?
Or push me further along the edge
of death & life
causing more strife
razor against wrist
can end all of this
& deliver me to bliss
these thoughts are hard to resist
a fleeting idea of happiness...
There is no way out
There is no way out
There is no way out
.............. no way out
Life drains away in silence
& I ask justwhat was it all about.

What If She Gave Me A Chance? Part TWO
I called her on my cell phone and she told me where she lived, since I was on the phone in my car driving home I drove down her block. She asked where I was and not knowing enough to lie, I said I was outside her apartment. She said to come on up. So I tried to squeeze my 1984 Delta 88 Royale Broughm into a parking spot, which is no small feat if you have ever seen one of those monstrosities.
I guess the decor of her place was post apocalyptic squalor. Empty beer and liquor bottles as well as overflowing ashtrays adorned the table and counter top. It wasn't the worst looking place I had ever been in, actually it wasn't even close, but it was pretty bad considering how I felt about her and what I had wished for her. She told me she was living with some guy she met at a bar who got her into her current profession, no get your mind out of the gutter.
She was a psychic reader on the phone. She did Tarot Cards and Readings at 2 bucks a minute. This was rather interesting because I know she has no innate psychic ability and she admitted as much, she would get a call and talk to the person, (after getting credit info and verification) and try to get a feel for the person and go from there. If she was buzzed or high she said that she would make stuff up as she went along. I hate to admit it but Dora was no Ms Cleo.
As I sat there and waited as she took a client over the phone I surveyed her life. She wasn't the hot and pretty girl I knew, she was now a young woman who looked older than her years, and also a bit unhealthy. With some unhealthy life choices and men choices. I wondered then if she were happy. I wondered what things be like if she had given me a chance back then. And in situations like this I usually project. I envisioned what life could have been like for her, for me, if we had gone that route and in every scenario it seemed better for me, for her, than it was now and instead of being happy that I had reconnected with an old friend I was left saddened by her life and what had become of it, and I hoped that she would get out of her rut and be the young and fiery woman with a thirst for life that I had once known.
After her call we gave one another a perfunctory kiss and promised to keep in touch. It was a promise we both broke. I did not see her again until a decade later.
What If She Gave Me A Chance? Part ONE
She got her stash from her cousin, who has since died of a drug overdose (or so I am told) and she would smoke daily if not several times a day. She even tried to get me to ride shotgun with her or smoke on my own, though I never acquiesced. I liked her and thought that maybe we could go to the next level, but I had recently had a bad experience doing that with a close female friend and when it didn't work out our friendship had crumbled and we drifted apart.
So I needed an intermediary. (yeah sounds so high schoolish, but that's were I was so I figured what the hell) During the day me and Dora hung with Maryann, who was unoccupied because she usually just spent the days waiting for her boyfriend Redd to come around, or just watched her soaps with her mother. She was in a wheelchair and when wed go out I would ofter wheel her around and Dora sat in her lap. So I would be wheeling both of them around.
One day when Dora wasn't around I set my plan into motion asking Scare (what we called Mary Ann) to find out if there was a chance that Dora would go for it, you know to think of me as more than a friend. I don't know exactly what transpired but the word back to me was that I was too nice for her and it wouldn't work.
Now I had gotten that before but this time it had hurt, so I did some childish things like stand her up or not remember something she asked me, and I would just reply ( when accused I had done it on purpose) that I couldn't do that, I was too nice. <---see I can be a bastard.
Anyway she soon had to move off to her mothers (her parents were divorced and she was living with her father for the summer. And we said our good byes and and promised to keep in touch though the reality was that we never met again until 1995.

Supposed, Upcoming 44th Street Reunion 2
Mikey Ideas as Redd and I called him was named after we asked him, or rather red asked him about a bandage he had on his finger. Redd asked him, "Hey Mike, cut yourself shaving?"
Mike looked rather amazed and said, "How did you know?" It turned out that he said when he was shaving the razor got matted with hair so he ran his thumb and finger along it to clear the offending stubble, and well, cut himself shaving."
Brian who would often puntualte every sentence with, Hey bud, was an alcoholic who worked at RX unlimited on the corner. He was a nice and well meaning guy that eventually got into harder drugs. One time he and I got suckered in a caper to steal a boat motor. (that story I will get into only if its requested of me)
Now I was of course included in this cavalcade of curiosities, and well we are our own worst critic, as well as we tend to shine a light on ourselves so we may appear to be better than we truly are, or were. So you will have to judge for yourself through my many upcoming posts.
Car Inspection
I admit, not the safest thing to drive, but last year it passed inspection. It was a bit more sturdy and the guy doing the inspection did not throw himself into the seat with the fervor of someone playing musical car seats. That was not the case this year. They would not pass it. Here in Pennsylvania you need an inspection AND emissions, which are two separate stickers that are placed on the window. I have one. Not the other.
The dealer wants over 700 bucks for a new seat and over 200 for the mounting brackets. Who knows how much to install the friggin thing. I could not afford that. 1000 bucks. For a seat. Damn, I got my last car for that. So I turned to the only place I could for help. The internet. I posted at Jeep sites and got help. I was directed to some sites, and the price was halved.
So far so good, I am waiting for the seat to come in the mail with the brackets, and well now I only need to know how to install the thing and I am set, then it is off to get reinspected. How much you want to bet now they will find more things wrong with the Jeep?
If it didnt suck........

I have often heard people say that they wanted to die with dignity. What does that mean? Illness robs of this, as does advanced age. So how does one die with dignity? I ruminated long and hard over this saying as I stood in the cramped cluttered kitchen of my Aunt Harriett who had expired hours earlier. Looking around the small sparsely furnished one and one half room apartment, there seemed to be only a fleeting vestige of a life lived. It seemed hollow, sad, empty, and that is what it was. I was estranged from my Aunt for quite some time, but she was a big bold and brash woman who was always overbearing. While her boisterous and almost always obnoxious personality managed to attract many people to her, she had no close friends, and so, like many people, died alone in her lonely little apartment.
She was sitting at the window in the kitchen overlooking the debris filled courtyard and was in the process of peeling a grapefruit when her heart exploded. Or at least a blood vessel in her heart had burst. That is what the cause of death was, a pulmonary embolism. It came on suddenly, quietly, and without warning. Now I know sometimes Doctors say, that someone did not suffer when maladies like this occur, but do they really know? Pain for no matter how brief a moment when it strikes is, depending on the severity, sufferable. So I hold little confidence in the words of someone who tries to comfort the living by saying that their loved one did not suffer. I am sorry if you were disillusioned and by no means take my word for it, it is merely my opinion. Though sometimes I am inclined to believe it only insofar as that life is so cruel, so arbitrary, that when one is about to be deprived of our only gift, our life, and if we are alone when it happens it should be without pain. Without suffering. That would not make it all right but it would make it fair. Though I know no one ever said life was fair. But don't get me started about that.
I wondered about the fairness, or the justness, of someone dying in their kitchen, slumped over on the windowsill, looking as though they were merely napping. I wondered about that and about what legacy a person leaves when they die. I thought about a sonnet by Shakespeare, that discusses the love he had, and says as long as the poem exists, people will know of the love and that their love and memory will live on. What happens when someone has no family, no loved ones, no friends. Is it as though they never existed?
My mind was filled with a myriad of disjointed thoughts as I looked through the apartment for paperwork, insurance, any valuables that lied around, anything that would prove her existence to the world. While there may have been something before, there was nothing now, because before I was notified a neighbor had discovered her body, called me, but before I arrived I knew that everybody in the building had come in and ransacked the place. I only knew this for certain because of two things. Three actually. Her television was gone, and her Harriett ring, worn on her left ring finger was not on her hand. She had gotten that ring on her 18 birthday and never ever took it off, it was now off her finger for the fist time in forty years. The final clue as to the grave robbing ghouls being there first was that her new linen was stripped from the bed, no where to be found. Only a bare, broken and stained mattress, no laundry basket with the linen. Nothing. That too was gone. So is this the remnants of dying with dignty? To have your bed clothing stolen, and the ring you loved so much wrenched off your hand? Does anyone no matter what kind of person they were in life deserve this in death?
For as much pain as my Aunt caused me and her family, which included my grandmother, who died years prior, and my mother, whom I recently just lost, she lived a rather short, unhappy life riddled with illness. I did not know all about her, but I knew enough about her through my mother and through the summer I spent with her some twenty years prior. I was eight years old and my mother had a new boyfriend. His name was Fred and he drove an ambulette. So, since she just started to get serious with him she wanted to spend time with him, and figured that summer would be coming up, I would be out of school and she could pawn me off on my Aunt. I know that may sound harsh, but that is what it felt like she was doing. I had hated my Aunt, mainly because I was afraid of her. Her volume level was permantely broken so she always yelled. She wasn't hard of hearing, she just liked to yell. She liked to yell, and she liked to hit. So I feared her. I guess the hate didn't come until later, until after that summer, and that was all I could think about while I stood there, alone, in the middle of this apartment, looking at a sad woman who caused much sadness. I was eight years old and I was about to stay my Aunt for six weeks that summer.....

Supposed, Upcoming 44th Street Reunion
It was a truly interesting place to live, some of the people were truly characters, there was a guy who lived with an endless procession of transexuals. She males. This, while now seems to be intriguing to a multitude of internet porn fans, it was, how can I put it gently..FUCKING WEIRD to a kid who didn't know what it was at the time. I remember sitting on my stoop playing some kind of board game and two of them walked by, a savvy older kid made a rude comment to one of them, who looked like some sleazy looking woman, and one turned around, and grabbed he/she/its crotch and with a deep voice suggested that my friend suck him off. Those two and many others passed through our block, and eventually one, named Tanisha came by who seemed like a genuinely nice person, and while I am not commenting on the lifestyle, or pretend to know anything about the transgendered, the ones on the block before her seemed like nothing more than prostitues. Tanisha suffered some beatings from the hands of her live in lover/landlord and disappeared months later.
Ally, Paco and Rabane (not their real names) lived in an apartment on the block and one was a drunk, one a nutcase on SSI (don't act like you don't know what it is) and another a low priced whore. (sorry that isn't politically correct, she was a cut rate call girl) She primarily was in the service industry, that is servicing the police and garbage men daily. Every day at various intervals a police car would park or double park in front of the apartment and one of the officers would go up into the apartment and about twenty minutes later (sometimes longer but usually shorter intervals of time would elapse when) he would come down and sometimes his partner would go up. The same tag team fucking could be said of the sanitation workers when they were on their scheduled route, at times we would even have bonus visits from our G men, though they never did pick up the trash on those days.
The older of the brothers had a penchant for younger girls he was in his twenties and used to cruise by the middle schools to pick up chicks. Many nights the police would come by looking for him. When not contributing to the delinquency of minors he and his brother would rip off cars, replace the tags with ones they found in the junkyard, prime them black and drive them. Well I know what you're thinking and yes, they did get picked up by the police on more than one occasion.
Thank you for your comment.
Today's post concerns the same thing that all previous and future posts will focus on and that is me. Sorry for appearing egocentric, but that is how it has to be sometimes.
Anyway today I wrote a poem while awaiting what I call "THE 100 MINUTES OF DEATH" or what is known as staff development for teachers. It is a mind numbing and way too large block of time in which we are herded into a usually uncomfortable room to be developed in what claims to be advantageous to us, but what really is, on the whole, detrimental. We are forced to stay in school, after several long and arduous hours of incessant pedagogy only to be forced to be spoken to and treated as if we, the supposed professionals, were in fact students ourselves. Now I know that we are "life time learners" and all that party line dribble, but GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK, if we were really the students for this we should treat our admin, who in all actuality rather not be there either, as the students (some, not all, you got to be careful for sweeping generalizations nowadays) treat us. You know such things as pulling out our cell phones or cd or mp3 players, or ipods, or going up to them and saying something classy like "FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER" all in a way to make them feel cozy and at home as if they are teaching a class of students, albeit an older and less active bunch, but students nonetheless.
My vent is over, its just that I guess the time should be spent more constructively, or the information disseminated by other means. Today one piece of the presentation was actually useful and (I am truly shocked to admit it) will love to try it in my class soon. The problem was this could have been done in about twenty to twenty five minutes, it was not necessary for 100 minutes. In those minutes I died of the heat, throttled my presenter, pictured a colleague or two naked and in many compromising situations, and when it was over, there was still a group activity for us to do! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Anyway Mayor DOOMSBERG and BOZO DeKLEIN have totally taken control of the BOE turned into the fifth Reich DOE, and unfortunately have irrevocably wrecked and ethnicity the terminally ill educational system. Congress fought to keep others alive when someone pulled the plug, this time they let these two come in the room execute the patient.
But I am not bitter, Oh No, I love my job, and getting developed and Mikey, enjoy the next few months your time is up at the mansion.
The truly sad thing, and I am not being altruistic by any means is that the damage that these two have wrought over the entire system will take many new administrations to fix.
And who truly suffers.........
ME DAMMIT. :o)
Until next time

I am working on my memoirs or at least I should be, that is the project I plan on finishing this summer, or at least I hope to, since my novel is just gathering dust maybe this will be my crowning glory, though I cant think of anyone who would want to read about someone like me, I am a thirtysomething married HS english teacher that has fueled no fires to date, climbed no mountains, righted no wrongs, but is as opinionated as all hell when it comes to things I think about. Actually I think about a lot of things like the price of tea in China, or the amount of lumber that a woodchuck would go through if given his druthers.
A main reason why I never updated my website is that I met my wife around the time I stopped updating my posts and well ironically enough though we met on the internet she doesnt want her picture or for me to write anything about her on my site, so well the only point of updating it would have been that, well not the only reason but the main reason, so I just stopped. Then again abandoning projects is something that it doesnt take much effort to be good at right?
I went to a Chinese/penny auction the other day, why is it called a Chinese or a penny auction anyway? I want to know, they sold no asian products, nor asians for that matter, and the prices for tickets far exceeded the penny. I actually won though so I will let them slide this time. I won to things that I dont really want or need, but things I thought my wife would like, I guess she did because she didnt throw them out or ask me to put them in my storage unit. They are sitting in the den under the window that is now opened because of the wonderful weather that we are having here, and here I sit, indoors typing.

EUR/USD – Where to Sell?
EUR/USD – Where to Sell?
After two days of sharp losses EUR/USD rebounded on the back of stronger German and weaker U.S. data. U.S. new home sales dropped by the largest amount since July 2013 and German business confidence increased. However the improvement in sentiment along with Friday's stronger Eurozone PMI report failed to lend support to the currency. This is partly because German businesses were less optimistic about current conditions. Yet EUR/USD shorts need not worry because the ECB sealed the currency pair's fate when they signaled plans to ease. We view any rally in the currency pair as a dead cat bounce that should be sold but with a possible disappointment from the Fed this week, there could be the opportunity to sell the pair above 1.11.
We believe the ideal place to sell EUR/USD is between 1.1145 and 1.1245. If the Fed is less hawkish, EUR/USD could squeeze towards the 100-day SMA at 1.1170. There's significant resistance between the 50-day SMA at 1.1255 and the 100-day SMA, so if a first entry triggers below 1.1170, the second place to sell would be near the 100-day SMA which coincides with trendline resistance. EUR/USD could also stall near 1.1215, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2000-2008 rally. On the downside, we target the July lows of right above 1.08.Chart Of The Day

Had an interesting talk with my cousin Brian Stone over Christmas. Brian is an Assistant Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning at Georgia Tech. I asked him what he thought would happen over the next 30 years. The answer: It doesn't look good.
In the next ten years he thinks there will be several more Katrina type storms.
In the next twenty years a significant food shortage, especially in Africa, which will result in mass starvation. This will fuel global conflict.
In the next thirty years, several rogue nations will have nukes and will have used them.
Happy New Year...
