Alexsandra Bilotti Foundation For Childhood Cancer
A personal campaign sponsored by Sandra Bilotti
She was a South Philly girl. She was a Main Line girl.
She had both fragility and backbone.
She seemed effortless yet persistent.
Alexsandra Bilotti lived with her mom, dad and brother in South Philadelphia during her 22 years on Earth. Wise beyond her age both academically and in outlook, Alex attended Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, PA where she received a top-notch education. After high school, she attended the University of Pennsylvania, fulfilling a dream.
Just across the street from U of Penn eight years earlier, Alex had embarked on a somewhat different schooling. It was at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) that Alex was diagnosed and treated for a rare pediatric cancer called Ewing Sarcoma, and where she would ultimately spend hours, days and years throughout her student life learning the intricacies and consequences of this life-stealer.
A quick Google search will inform you that Ewing Sarcoma forms malignant tumors that grow in the bones or soft tissue, most often in the legs, pelvis, arms, spine or ribs, where Alex's tumor was found.
Those close to Alex would describe her as utterly ambitious, yet gracefully modest. Sturdy, yet delicate. Purposely planted in both south and north. Perennial and annual. Like a sunflower . . . the characteristics and dichotomies of which would unwittingly epitomize Alex's life.
During some of the most trying days of Alex's journey, her mom's sisters frequently visited her bedside. Based on their own personal experiences, her aunts coached Alex in positive visualization. They suggested she find a meaningful symbol she could envision that would allow her to escape her suffering, if only momentarily.
"We told Alex to try to find an object to center her focus," her aunt, Linda Mazzotta, of the East Passyunk Square district of South Philadelphia, said. "One that represented faith and hope; to elevate her mood and distract Alex through the most mentally and physically challenging days of her cancer treatments."
Like everything Alex did, she approached this assignment with weightiness and diligence.
It was a few days later when she told us she'd come up with something. It was a sunflower," Alex's aunt, Lisa DiLauro, also of the East Passyunk Square neighborhood, shared. "She had done some research and embraced its symbolism: long life, strong bonds, positive and sun-facing." Alex even named one of her Biewer Yorkies, "Girasole" –Italian for sunflower— a nod to her heritage.
"Just like the flower, Alex bravely faced the sun on the darkest of days," DiLauro added.
Alexsandra Bilotti left us on February 21, 2015.
Though a few words in a news story provide a tiny glimpse into this young woman's life, Alex's own words reveal her grace, intelligence, prudence and the life lessons she gifted us: https://youtu.be/5g8BlTV6oHg.
The Alexsandra Bilotti Foundation's Premiere Fundraiser
With strong support from friends and family, the Bilottis established the Alexsandra Bilotti Foundation (ABF) in 2017 for the primary purpose of raising awareness and funds to research Ewing Sarcoma at CHOP, and to provide support for families of children with terminal cancers. Additionally, the Foundation supports an educational endowment fund at Episcopal Academy.
On Thursday, April 4, 2019, ABF will host is premiere annual fundraising event at the IATSE Ballroom, 2401 S. Swanson St, Philadelphia, PA 19148, 6:30- 10:30 p.m. featuring food, spirits, dancing and some unique items for bid including a sunflower art auction (inspired by Alex's best friend and Episcopal classmate, Kathryn Burke of Wayne., PA, who created the sunflower above that's since become the Foundation's logo).
Local artists, and students from the Philadelphia Sketch Club and Wayne Arts Center have volunteered their time and talent to create their interpretations of sunflowers in a variety of mediums – including a one-of-a-kind pair of sneakers as a canvas!
Event attendees will have the opportunity to silently bid on the local art, as well as other exciting items like three, Eagles "Superbowl LII" labeled bottles of wine, each signed by Nick Foles!
Tickets are $60 per person and available through PayPal by clicking https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr… (Please indicate in the Special Instructions: "April 2019 ABF Fundraiser" and the number of tickets being purchased.)
Proceeds benefit the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia through the Alexsandra Bilotti Fund for Ewing Sarcoma Research. To date, ABF has raised nearly $30,000 for this fund.

Der Reichstag var namnet både på parlamentet i Tyska riket som kejsardöme och i Tyska riket som republik. Denna artikel handlar om det förstnämnda. På svenska kallas detta parlament oftast riksdagen, liksom sin svenska motsvarighet. Kejsardömets riksdag fanns mellan 1871 och 1918 i Berlin och tog slutligen plats i riksdagshuset i Berlin när det 1894 hade färdigställts. Kejsardömets riksdag efterföljdes av Weimarrepublikens riksdag.

Val och rösträtt
Riksdagen bestod av en kammare, vars medlemmar utsågs genom allmänna och omedelbara val genom sluten omröstning. Varje tysk man ägde rösträtt i den förbundsstat där han bodde, om han fyllt 25 år. Soldater i hären och flottan saknade rösträtt så länge de stod under fanorna. Uteslutna från rösträtt var kvinnor, personer som stod under förmyndarskap eller konkurs eller som åtnjöt fattigunderstöd eller genom laga kraftvunnen dom förlorat fulla åtnjutandet av statsborgerliga rättigheter. Valbar var i hela riket varje tysk man, som fyllt 25 år och minst 1 år tillhört en till riket hörande stat, såvida han därjämte ägde rösträtt.

Landet delades genom lag i lika många valkretsar, som det skulle väljas riksdagsledamöter. Varje stat bildade åtminstone en valkrets, och ingen valkrets omfattade områden inom två eller flera stater. Antalet riksdagsledamöter var i lag fastställt till 397. (Ett förslag 1918 om att höja antalet till 441 hann aldrig bli genomfört.) För att bli vald fordrades absolut majoritet. Hade ingen vunnit sådan, förrättades nytt val inom 14 dagar mellan de två, som fått flest röster. Av riksdagens 397 medlemmar valde Preussen 236, Bayern 48, Sachsen 23, Württemberg 17, Elsass-Lothringen 15, Baden 14, Hessen 9, Mecklenburg-Schwerin 6, Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, Oldenburg, Braunschweig och Hamburg vart och ett 3, Sachsen-Meiningen, Sachsen-Coburg och Gotha och Anhalt vart och ett 2 samt var och en av de övriga staterna 1 riksdagsledamot. Valperioden var från och med 1890 5 år.

Riksdagens arbete
Endast förbundsrådet kunde med kejsarens bifall besluta om att upplösa riksdagen. I händelse av upplösning måste nya val hållas inom 60 dagar, och riksdagen samlas på nytt inom 90 dagar. Riksdagen valde själv 1 talman (Präsident) och 2 vice talmän. Dess förhandlingar var offentliga. Besluten fattades med absolut majoritet, men för beslutens giltighet fordrades, att hälften av det lagliga antalet medlemmar (det vill säga minst 199) skulle vara närvarande. Frågorna skulle beredas av utskott och undergå tre "läsningar". Förbundsrådet (ej kejsaren) framlade propositioner, och enskilda riksdagsledamöter ägde rätt att väcka motioner, men varje motion skulle vara undertecknad av minst 15 ledamöter.

Interpellationer kunde ställas till förbundsrådet för att besvaras av rikskanslern, om minst 30 ledamöter förenade sig därom. Riksdagens och förbundsrådets samtycke krävdes vid all rikslagstiftning. Till lagstiftningen räknades även fastställandet av budgeten, fastställandet av tullar, avgifter på salt, tobak, brännvin, öl och socker samt stämpelskatter på växlar och spelkort. Räckte ej dessa inkomster samt avkastningen av post och telegraf till statens utgifter, ålåg det varje stat att i proportion till sin folkmängd bidra till fyllandet av de i budgeten bestämda utgiftssummorna (så kallade matrikularbidrag). Denna extra bevillning utskrevs, när så fordrades, av rikskanslern. Riksdagen ägde även en vidsträckt kontrollerande myndighet särskilt över statsinkomsternas användning.

Classical. Christian. Independent. Integrated. These are the hallmarks of a Mars Hill Academy education.
Mars Hill Academy utilizes the proven classical model of education developed by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Refined through the ages and reintroduced in the United States, this method produces true scholars: students who love to learn, think clearly, listen carefully, reason and write persuasively, and speak precisely.
Mars Hill Academy promotes a distinctly Christian worldview. We present all subjects as defined by Christian truth, and lead students to evaluate all human knowledge and experience in light of the Scriptures. Our graduates possess a deep understanding of their world; the ability to discern truth, beauty, and goodness; and the tools to influence the world for God's glory.
As an independent school, Mars Hill Academy does not accept funding from local, state, or federal governments, or religious denominations. Our independence permits us to provide a true classical and Christian educational experience that is pure in mission, vision, and result, and free from outside oversight or influence.
At Mars Hill Academy, we integrate subjects and teach all things as part of a greater whole defined by Christian truth. Students are taught logic in mathematics, science in the light of history, and literature alongside rhetoric. Bible is not just a separate subject at Mars Hill, but a part of everything we do and teach.
The educational experience at Mars Hill Academy is rich, vibrant, and purposeful. In the Grammar School (grades K-6), our students learn "the grammar of every subject" through music, movement and repetition. They are also taught to "love their neighbor" by respecting teachers and being kind to classmates. Classrooms are orderly and safe, and teachers are loving and energetic, providing an ideal learning environment for our young scholars.
In the Logic and Rhetoric phases (grades 7-12), students gain maturity in academic and behavioral goals and expectations. Students function more independently and help shepherd younger pupils. They are encouraged to volunteer to help meet school needs, and participate in arts, athletics, and service opportunities. The environment is one in which students "build one another up" with love and encouragement.
Mars Hill Academy students of all ages are reminded that excellence is pleasing to God and they should strive to do their best work to His glory. Classes begin each day with prayer and singing joyfully to the Lord, and all grades participate in bi-weekly convocations.
Find out more about academics at Mars Hill Academy and we think you'll appreciate the MHA difference!


Yeah, we finally got some blue skies over our daffodil fields here at Brooksgrove Farm.

As The Story Goes... (idea)
See all of As The Story Goes..., no other writeups in this node.
(idea) by duckrabbit Thu Oct 05 2000 at 17:43:44
God, seeing how desperately bored everyone was on the seventh day of creation, racked his overstretched imagination to find something more to add to the completeness he had just conceived. Suddenly his inspiration burst even beyond its own limitelss bounds and he saw a further aspect of reality: its possibility to imitate itself. So he invented theatre.
He called his angels together and announced this in the following terms, which are still contained in an ancient Sanskrit document. "The theatre will be the field in which people can learn to understand the sacred mysteries of the universe. And at the same time," he added with deceptive casualness, "it will be a comfort to the drunkard and to the lonely."
The angels were very excited and could hardly wait for there to be enough people on earth to put this into practice. The people responded with equal enthusiasm and rapdily there were many groups all trying to imitate reality in their different ways. And yet the results were disappointing. What had sounded so amazing, so generous and so all embracing seemed to turn to dust in their hands. In particular, the actors, writers, directors, painters and musicians couldn't agree amongst themselves as to who was the most important, and so they spent much of their time quarrelling while their work satisfied them less and less.
One day, they realized they were getting nowhere and they commissioned an angel to go back to God to ask for help.
God pondered for a long time. Then he took a piece of paper, scribbled on it, put it into a box and gave it to the angel, saying, "Everything is here. This is my first and last word."
The return of the angel to the theatre circles was an immense event and the whole profession croweded round him as the box was opened. He took out the paper, unfolded it. It contained one word. Some read it over his shoulder, as he announced it to the others. "The word is 'interest'."
"Interest? Interest!" "Is that all?" "Is that all!"
There was a deep rumble of disappointment.
"Who does he take us for?" "It's childish." "As if we didn't know..."
The meeting broke up angrily, the angel left under a cloud, and the word, though never referred to again, became one of the many reasons for the loss of face that God suffered in the eyes of his creatures.
However, a few thousand years later, a very young student of Sanskrit found a reference to this incident in an old text. As he also worked part time as a cleaner in a theatre, he told the theatre company of his discovery. This time, there was no laughter, no scorn. There was a long, grave silence. Then someone spoke.
"Interest. To interest. I must interest. I must interest another. I can't interest another unless I'm interested myself. We need a common interest."
Then another voice:
"To share a common interest, we must exchange elements of interest in a way that's interesting..."
"...to both of us..." "To all of us..." "In the right rhythm." "Rhythm?" "Yes, like making love. If one's too fast and one's too slow, it's not interesting..."
Then they began to discuss, seriously and very respectfully, what is interesting? Or rather, as one of them put it, what is really interesting?
And here they disagreed. For some, the divine message was clear- "interest" meant only those aspects of living that were directly related to the essential questions of being and becoming, of God and the divine laws. For some, interest is the common interest of all men to understand more clearly what is just and unjust for mankind. For others, the very ordinariness of the word "interest" was a clear signal from the divine not to waste a moment on profundity and solemnity but just get on with it and entertain.
At this point the student of Sanskrit quoted to them the full text about why God created theatre. "It has to be all those things at the same time," he said. "And in an interesting way," added another. After which, the silence was profound.
They then began to discuss the other side of the coin, the appeal of the "uninteresting," and the strange motivations, social and psychological, that make so many people in the theatre applaud so often and so vigorously what actually is of no interest to them whatsoever. "If only we could really understand this word..." said one.
"With this word," said another in a hushed tone, "we could go very far..."

GEO VENTS and GEO VENTS DUO systems are designed to provide comfortable microclimate in the premises with minimum energy demand using the heat of the earth's surface layers.
The use of such systems contributes a lot to the improvement of energy efficiency and the decrease of operating costs.
The earth's surface is a natural heat accumulator. Solar radiation is the basic thermal energy source. Surface layers of the upper ground are subject to seasonal temperature fluctuations. These factors as well as the soil characteristics determine the ground temperature. At 3m depth and deeper, below the freezing point, the ground temperature remains constant all the year round and is equal to the average annual outside air temperature. The ground temperature at 1,5-3,2 m depth ranges from +5 up to +7°С in winter and +10 up to +12°С in summer. Ground temperature conditions are available in specialized sources. The experimental results showed that the geothermal heat exchanger can warm up the intake air up to 0°С or more in winter and cool it down from +18 to 20°С in summer.
GEO VENTS and GEO VENTS DUO allow the most efficient extraction and use of the geothermal energy with the ground heat exchanger to cool down air in summer and heat it up in winter.
The ground heat exchanger (GTO) integrated into GEO VENTS system is the easiest way to utilize the geothermal energy.
The air duct system is laid below the freezing point of the ground and serves as a heat exchanger between the ground and the air moved through these air ducts. As the ground temperature at 1.5-3.2m in winter is +5 to +7 °С and +10 to +12 °С in summer, the air transferred in the air ducts is heated during winter time and cooled during summer time through the air duct wall.
In case of correct placement of the air ducts the geothermal energy extraction efficiency is quite high at relatively low electric energy consumption.
The geothermal heat exchanger GEO VENTS DUO is an annular tube heat exchanger. Extract air from the premise moves through the internal air duct and the intake air from outside moves through the external air duct. The spiral seamed ducts made of stainless steel have a high thermal conductivity and are used as the first stage of the heat recovery. The air supplied to the premise is heated or cooled by the geothermal energy and due to heat exchange with the exhaust air through the internal air duct wall. Due to the design of the geothermal heat exchanger the air ducts laid in the ground have less length. With that the thermal characteristics of the geothermal heat exchanger become even more perfect.
The air duct length and diameter are determined by the air flow rate and the level of capital investment and operating costs. With regard to the filter replacement the operating costs for the geothermal systems are similar to the costs for the air handling units.
Freezing protection of the air handling unit heat exchanger.
The geothermal heat exchanger provides intake air cooling during summer time. Air from outside is supplied through the air intake device to the geothermal heat exchanger where it is cooled by geothermal energy. After that the cooled air is supplied through the air ducts to the VENTS VUT air handling unit. For the unit operation in the summer period the summer block is placed instead of the heat exchanger. Such a design solution provides internal temperature decrease as well as a decrease of electric energy input for air conditioning and better microclimate in the house.
During low seasons when the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures is insignificant the fresh air can be supplied through the intake grille located at the wall above the surface. In the periods when the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is high the air can be supplied through the geothermal heat exchanger thus ensuring the heating/cooling of intake air.
The fresh air is supplied through the air intake located at the geothermal heat exchanger where it is pre-heated and supplied further to the VENTS VUT air handling unit for further air warming-up.
Air pre-heating inside the geothermal heat exchanger prevents icing of the unit heat exchanger and prolongs the effective time of the heat recovery use as well as minimizes the costs required for the additional air heating in the water heating coils/electric heater.
Use of geothermal system combined with VENTS VUT air handling unit with heat recovery is the best solution for the residential house ventilation.
This system ensures permanent air exchange within the building and ensures comfortable micro-climate for the people inside. This system saves heat in winter and coolness in summer and protects the house from overheating. Moreover, it reduces energy consumption and heating costs. Geothermal energy ventilation systems are applied in cottages, stockhouses, shops, restaurants, industrial premises.
It is necessary to warm up the intake air during winter and low seasons and cool it down during summer period to enjoy breathing in comfortable fresh air. See below the calculation of the thermal energy consumption for warming-up of supply air without heat recovery but with geothermal systems for the moderate European climate.
Р(W) = L(m3/h) x 0.34 x Dt(°С) = 300 m3/h х 0,34 х 25/1000 = 2,550 kW.
Р(W) = L(m3/h) x 0.34 x Dt(°С) = 300 m3/h х 0,34 х 10/1000 = 1,02 kW.
Р(W) = L(m3/h) x 0.34 x Dt(°С) = 300 m3/h х 0,34 х 7/1000 = 0,714 kW.
Sample calculation for 80 days operation of the air handling unit. Assumption: 50% of the operating time in full capacity mode, various capacity modes in different time periods around the year.
80 days x 24h x 0.5 x 2,55kW = 2 448 kWh.
80 days x 24h x 0.6 x 1,02kW = 1175 kWh.
80 days x 24h x 0.5 x 0,714kW = 685 kWh.
Р(W) = L(m3/h) x 0.34 x Dt(°С) = 300 m3/h х 0,34 х 15/1000 = 1,53 kW.
Р(W) = L(m3/h) x 0.34 x Dt(°С) = 300 m3/h х 0,34 х 5/1000 = 0,51 kW.
Sample calculation for 180 days operation of the air handling unit. Assumption: 50% of the operating time in full capacity mode, various capacity modes in different time periods around the year.
180 days x 24h x 0.5 x 1,53kW = 3305 kWh.
180 days x 24h x 0.6 x 0,51kW = 1322 kWh.
180 days x 24h x 0.5 x 0,51kW = 1102 kWh.
The daily average temperature within 60 days during summer period is +20°С; however during the day time this temperature remains at the level +26°С within 8 hours. To make it feel comfortable it needs to be cooled down to +20°С by air conditioners. Their cooling capacity shall provide cooling by Dt=6°С.
Р(W) = L(m3/h) x 0.34 x Dt(°С) = 300 m3/h х 0,34 х 4/1000 = 0,408 kW.
60 days x 8ч x 0.7 x 0,612kWt = 206 kWh.
60 days x 8ч x 0.7 x 0,408kWt = 137 kWh.
The GEO VENTS DUO system extracts the low-grade ground energy which means that it serves as a thermal pump. SPF factor, the seasonal power factor (EN14511) is used to determine the system efficiency. This factor is calculated as thermal energy gain amount to electrical energy consumption amount ratio with respect to the seasonal air/ground temperature fluctuations.
The required ventilation system electrical energy consumption for extraction of 2634 kWh thermal energy per year is 635 kWh.
Thus, SPF = 2634/635 = 4,14.


It's over! We have, at long last, reached the end of the third season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and boy was it, er– something. Look, I've made no effort to hide my disdain for this show, and the fact that I think this half-season is the among worst the series has been – a low point for the series surpassed only by the truly dreadful first season – so I'm not going to waste time going over all of that again in this preface. Instead, let's just jump in and get to the meat of this two-hour beast of a finale.
Things start out with a bang as the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are hot on the heels of Hive and his merry band of monsters who, as you'll recall from last week, are attempting to steal a missile that can be used to disburse Hive's terrible Terrigen cocktail into the upper atmosphere. Hive and his goons have managed to infiltrate the silo where the missile is being held and are scanning the skies for incoming Quinjets, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attack doesn't come from the sky. Instead, May manages to slip a Quinjet under Hive's radar by slipping it underwater. As May, along with Mack, Elena, and Lincoln are making their way into the missile base, Coulson, Fitz, and General Talbot attempt to gain access to the kill codes to shut down the missile launch.

Orioles' bullpen unravels again in 12-3 loss; Severino hurts knee; Minor league update
Photo credit: Daniel Kucin Jr. USA Today Sports
BALTIMORE—For the second straight night, the Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays were in a close game in the eighth inning, and for the second straight night, the Orioles' bullpen imploded.
On Friday night, the Orioles and Rays were tied at 5 in the eighth. Paul Fry and Dillon Tate combined to allow five runs in a 10-6 loss.
A night later, Tampa Bay led the Orioles, 5-3, after seven. Dusten Knight and César Valdez combined to allow five runs in the eighth in a 12-3 Rays win before an announced crowd of 18,545 at Oriole Park on Saturday night.
Brandon Lowe hit a grand slam off Valdez, his 24th home run, and Wander Franco hit his fifth.
Valdez replaced Knight with runners on first and second and one out.
Isaac Mattson, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk before the game, allowed two runs in the ninth.
"I think everybody's getting an opportunity to pitch," manager Brandon Hyde said. "That's all they can really ask for. We're not throwing the ball well in the 'pen. We're inconsistent
"I am looking for guys to pitch. There's no doubt about it. If you pitch well, you're going to pitch."
Tampa Bay Rays starter Shane McClanahan was born and spent the first five years of his life in Baltimore. His first start at Camden Yards was a success. McClanahan pitched seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits. He allowed just one hit in his last four innings.
It was the Orioles' fourth straight loss and fourth straight game in which they've allowed 10 or more runs for the first time in team history. The Orioles (38-71) have been outscored, 45-13.
"All of our guys have had their moments of good streaks and bad streaks, and that's really been the theme here for three years." Hyde said. "We don't command the ball very well, so we have some good nights, and then we have some bad nights, and that's just how it's been … In this division, you have to pitch way better to even compete."
Yandy Diaz homered to left field against Orioles starter Spenser Watkins to lead off the second. Joey Wendle singled, and Manuel Margot doubled. Wendle scored on Kevin Kiermaier's grounder to first, and Tampa Bay (67-44) led, 2-0.
The Orioles scored their three runs against McClanahan (6-4) in the bottom of the third. With one out, Jorge Mateo doubled. He stole third and scored on a wild throw by catcher Mike Zunino.
Richie Martin walked, and Cedric Mullins hit his 19th home run of the year. Mullins has hit in 15 straight games.
Nelson Cruz hit a two-run home run in the fifth to put Tampa Bay ahead, 4-3. It was Cruz's second home run of the series and gave him seven RBIs.
With one out in the sixth, Wendle reached on an error by Martin at shortstop. Wendle moved to second on an infield out by Margot and scored on a double by Brett Phillips.
Watkins (2-3) allowed five runs, four earned, in six innings.
"They're pesky, they're phenomenal hitters up and down the lineup," Watkins said. "There's really not a spot that you can pick out, and say, 'OK, I can take a little breath here.'"
Catcher Pedro Severino was removed for the game with a bruised right knee in the fourth inning and replaced by Austin Wynns. Severino will be re-evaluated on Sunday morning.
Hyde said he expected that first baseman Ryan Mountcastle will go on the seven-day concussion injured list on Sunday. Mountcastle was injured on Friday night when he attempted to steal second and was tagged on the head.
Notes: Jorge López (3-12, 5.91 ERA) will face Michael Wacha (2-3, 5.26) on Sunday. … The game started 27 minutes late because of the Orioles' Hall of Fame induction of J.J. Hardy, Mike Devereaux, broadcaster Joe Angel and superfan Mo Gaba.
Minor League update: Ofelky Peralta pitched six strong innings, allowing two runs on two hits, as Triple-A Norfolk beat Jacksonville, 4-2. Peralta (1-0) walked four and struck out three.
Shortstop Mason McCoy hit his sixth home run, and first baseman J.C. Escarra had two hits.
Cody Sedlock gave up a run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings as Double-A Bowie beat Somerset, 2-1. Sedlock (5-2) struck out five and walked one.
The Baysox had only three hits. One was a first-inning double by leftfielder Yusniel Diaz, which drove in two runs.
Second baseman AJ Graffanino and shortstop Jordan Westburg each drove in two runs as High-A Aberdeen beat Jersey Shore, 5-3. Graffanino had three hits, and Westburg hit his eighth home run of the season.
Zach Watson (2-0) pitched three scoreless innings in relief, allowing two hits and striking out three.
Centerfielder Colton Cowser was 2-for-4 with two RBIs as the Orioles' Florida Complex League Black team beat the FCL Orange team, 7-3. Cowser, the Orioles' first-round draft choice in 2021, is 6-for-9 in three games with a home run and five RBIs.
Low-A Delmarva's game with Down East was postponed. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sunday.
I've avoided tearing into Elias as much as some others and still admire what he's doing with the talent level at the lower levels(again–lower level) of the Orioles minor league system BUT(yeah you knew there was gonna be a "but") what he's doing pitching-wise between Norfolk and Baltimore is atrocious. There have been bad pitchers come through organizations before but EVERY pitcher? Come on now. Who's NOT doing their homework? This is an embarrassing clown show. Saber-metrics/analyitics whatever the hell you wanna call them are proving to be crap. Hitters swinging at everything,outfielders afraid to communicate,IFers out of position,and of course this vile pitching corp which has been stinking up the downtown area for years. Poor performances are expected- but by everybody all the time? Mr. Elias close your laptop,get on the phone/twitter,etc. gather your boys and rethink what you're doing between Norfolk and Baltimore.
OhMy!
Oh my! My, my, my, my, my…Clown show and vile! Evil clowns are the worst.
Pitching has been bad the past four games but the Os are 10-9 since the All Star Break. Not every pitcher is bad, not every pitcher currently struggling will continue to struggle indefinitely. The "by everybody all the time?" is worthy of a Snickers recommendation obviously. Means, T Wells, Sulser, and even DiPlan all say "Howdy Orial!"
If the special sauce plan of Elias and Holt isn't working/not being executed to expectations, pretty sure they will reevaluate and modify their approach. The approach might be solid, but execution of the approach not working currently. My personal opinion is the Elias/Holt pitching strategy doesn't work too well if the pitcher doesn't have 95+ mph FB.
I must say I do admire your patience when it comes to witnessing this ongoing conveyor belt of atrocious,vile,disgusting, embarrassing pitching that has a plagued this organization. Sure we have a few promising moments but they always get washed away with the very next outing. Again power to you and your stead-fastness.
Joey, I hate to call your bluff, but we have more than a couple of failing pitchers that bring a 95+ mph FB to the table.
BTW …. I'm still waiting to hear what you thought of my minimum wager list of decent-enough-pitchers that were for the taking this past offseason that Elias ignored? Still calling my bluff? Why the silence?
How he rolls…go O's…
Chickenspit. Likes to punch you in the back of the head and run like hell.
How do you get a concussion when tagged on the head wearing a helmet. I guess it wasn't a tag but a hammer. You gotta feel sorry for Hyde having to put on a brave face every night. That's why Elias got him no experienced manager would be willing to go thru this. Will he be here when Adley, Rodriguez and Cowser arrive. He deserves it putting up with all this crap
Sissy kids?
Nah ..it's a different world from when we were young. What we called a headache, is now called a concussion.
We were ignorant of the danger. All you have to do is look at so many retired NFL players that are having problems to know that being a tough guy and sucking it up, may not be the smartest way to react to that "headache".
Cal is laughing at the thought of missing time for that!
Was Cal laughing at Brian Roberts when he missed what I recall as the better half of a season with a concussion issue? (I think it was Roberts…please anyone…correct me if I'm wrong)
Totally agree, head injuries aren't what they were in the day, scared to think how concussions I've had, seeing stars, concussed…from what I've seen of Mountcastle he'd be out there if he could, the other infielders for the Rays actually stuck around to see if Ryan was ok, Franco was the only one to run off the field…go O's…
Actually, Rich corrected me in the past when I expressed a similar opinion about who in the world would want the O's manager job. He said MLB manager positions are few, and therefore highly coveted. Apparently there would be many applicants for the job.
I could do it! My Strat-O-Matic resume speaks for itself!
I think Hyde is part of the problem, as is Elias and Holt.
Watkins didn't pitch that bad. Cruz got him but other than that. Looked pretty good. Why is Valdez still on the team? Get rid of him. Teams have a book on him. Game could've been somewhat close without him coming in and putting gas on a fire.
Pretty small book, he really throws two pitches, don't care what they have on him, he's not good, someone else could be trying to pitch, at this point the brass doesn't care…go O's…
Balt mp
Look everything at triple a Diaz,Kramer, Akin are all DD in fact most of the Prospects at AAA are Duquette in the army we had a saying you can't shine s..t well I think at triple a and indeed for at least a third of the major league roster that applies which just goes to show the absolute dearth of talent in the upper system
Here's the problem. If we'd have kept Nellie, we possibly could be going for a sweep today.
Just kidding. Sort of.
As much as Cruz has hurt us with the bat, I was most impressed when I saw this 41 year old, that the O's thought was at the end of the line in 2014, stretch a single into a head first sliding double. And it wasn't DJ in left field either. Hays made a great play on the ball and Nellie was hustling from the crack of the bat to beat it out. He's a pro's pro.
When are we getting those "top tier free agents"? Just kidding.
We're all going to wait for things to turn around. I'll still watch and listen to as many games I can. I'll still expect 2022 to be bumpy and hope competitive ball will surface in 2023.
This sucks and I am terribly frustrated at the level of play, basement dwelling status and seeming lack of quality players. We are all suffering through this tragedy together.
Something so systemically broken, deeply flawed and myopically under managed will take a correspondingly long period of time to correct.
Yes, some will provide examples of other teams who competed well during a rebuild. Statistics will be cited to prove that "the plan" isn't working. Good, rewarding things are difficult but worthwhile.
I'm not pollyanna nor a kool aid drinking cultist who believes Elias is a messianic prophet, but I do think there's a ton of good stuff happening behind the curtain.
Just some thoughts. Y'all will correct them, I'm sure.

Sunday afternoon observation:
If you can't throw strikes you shouldn't be in the pros….
Are you reading this, Fry and Tate?
EkimC
Sorry to say but " O's bullpen unravels again…" is becoming sort of a mantra! Rich, you might as well just use that as an opening for any post that describes Oriole game action. Case in point… Lopez does a good job (6 ip, 2 runs. ), Sulser comes in and promptly gives up a HR. He gets replaced by Fry who gives up a hit and walks 3 (walking in a run in the process). Tate comes in gets a fly out but a run scores but follows that up with (take guess) a walk… bases loaded again and the Phillips hits a grand slam! Admit it… it's become a hopeless situation.
Cut & paste the headline for tomorrow….nothing else to say…go O's…

Slow pitch softball pitchers have better ERA's than some of these guys….until we get good pitching or move the fences back 60 feet we will continue to endure this.

WORLD EXTREME CAGEFIGHTING® ANNOUNCES FIRST EVER EVENT IN SAN DIEGO
Courtesy of World Extreme Cagefighting:
WEC® PRESENTS:
WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
JAMIE VARNER vs. DONALD "COWBOY" CERRONE
URIJAH FABER VS. JENS PULVER 2
Live From San Diego Sports Arena, Sunday, January 25
Tickets Start at $35 and Go on Sale Thursday, Dec. 4 at 10AM PT
Las Vegas, NV (USA) – World Extreme Cagefighting® today announced that for the first event of 2009, the cage will head west to the hotbed of mixed martial arts - California - to hold the first ever WEC® event in San Diego. Two blockbuster matchups will lead the main card, with the World Lightweight Championship fight between Jamie Varner and undefeated Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone as the main event, and the mega-rematch pitting Urijah Faber against Jens Pulver in the co-main event. World Extreme Cagefighting, featuring Varner vs. Cerrone and Faber vs. Pulver 2, takes place live from the San Diego Sports Arena on Sunday, January 25, 2009.
World Extreme Cagefighting will be televised live nationally on VERSUS beginning at 9:30 pm ET/6:30 pm PT. All live WEC events will be presented in Hi-Definition (HD) where available. For more information and how to find VERSUS in your local viewing area, visit http://www.versus.com/findversus.
Tickets for World Extreme Cagefighting go on sale at 10 a.m. PT Thursday, Dec. 4 and will be priced at $175, $125, $75 and $35 (not including applicable services or taxes). Tickets will be available for purchase through the San Diego Sports Arena Box Office, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling Ticketmaster at 619-220-8497.
Don't blink when WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner (15-2, 1 NC) meets up with No. 1 contender Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone (9-0, 1 NC). Varner has finished his last four opponents, and now the Tempe, Arizona fighter will face his greatest test in the red hot Cerrone.
"I have a lot of respect for Cerrone, but I consider him just one more undefeated fighter that I have to put in his place," said Varner. "I think it's awesome to have this fight in Southern California; there is a huge MMA following there, so I think this event will be huge, and a big step for the growth of WEC."
Undefeated lightweight contender Cerrone (8-0-1 No Contest) is one fight away from securing his place as the new champion of the WEC, and he plans on doing everything in his power to get there. The Albuquerque, New Mexico trained mixed martial artist, who is known for his relentless stand-up attack and equally effective ground game, most recently scored a Fight of the Night win against world class striker and former champ "Razor" Rob McCullough.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to fight for the title, and to take on Jamie Varner," said Cerrone. "He's well rounded and very athletic, but I'm going to work hard in training camp and on my game plan to win the title. I'm looking forward to fighting in San Diego, and to headline the first WEC event there."
Urijah "The California Kid" Faber (21-2) is the former WEC Featherweight Champion, a title he has owned since March of 2006. Faber was upset by Mike Brown in November, but he is on a mission to reclaim his status as best featherweight fighter in the world. But first, he has to fight his way through a rematch with Jens Pulver. The two first met in June 2008, fighting toe-to-toe in a five round battle that became one of the best WEC fights to date.
"I know this is going to be another classic for the fans," said Faber. "Jens is always ready to fight, he's a competitor, and I expect a tough battle, but I'm going to try to finish it this time - I don't want it to go the distance."
Former UFC® lightweight champion Jens Pulver (22-10-1) looks to rebound from two consecutive losses at the expense of Faber. And with a new team behind him, the 33-year-old with the legendary left hand is refocused and ready to continue on his road back to the top.
"Now that I train with Matt Hume, I'll be doing things a lot differently," Pulver said comparing his first fight with Faber. "Did I show it against Leonard Garcia? No, it takes time. But I know I'm still competitive...Great fights are still in me."

It would probably be fair to say that Zynga hasn't had the smoothed of rides over recent months…something of a understatement in all fairness As if making huge cuts to its 2012 projections and saying goodbye to a chunk of the workforce wasn't enough, Zynga chief financial officer Dave Wehner has decided to defect for…Facebook!
That's a pretty bitter pill to swallow, given the fact that primary business of Zynga is the creation of games for Facebook like the ever-popular FarmVille title. Wehner's departure was announced late on Tuesday evening, by way of a statement telling of his move to take up a "senior finance position" at the social networking giant.
According to Zynga CEO Mark Pincus, Wehner was one of the company's key driving forces and played a vital role in its success from first conception to IPO. The company officially went public in December 2011, though since then Zynga share values have plummeted a depressing 78% to hover around the paltry $2 mark.
Wehner's seat at Zynga will be filled by one Mark Vranesh who previously held the title of company CFO between 2008 and 2010.
On a slightly more positive note, Zynga's once head of mobile operations is also climbing the ranks to take up the title of chief operation office – the vacancy having been created in August when John Schappert departed. What's more, the company's had of business development Barry Cottle is to become the new chief revenue officer, while the president of games of title has been bestowed upon Steven Chiang.
For all his optimism however, Pincus also admitted that the company still had "a lot" of work to do.
October's early announcement of third-quarter earnings by Zynga came as a rather bleak sign of the company's struggles – concerns compounded by confirmation that its 'Ville' flagship were showing signs of weakness and new games were facing significant production delays.
21-days following the unnerving revelations, Zynga slashed a painful 5% of its existing workface, closing down its office in Boston, firing workers in Austin and outlining closures in the UK and Japan.

The Rock'em Sock'em Populist...Washington Post?
By Ed Driscoll 1:58 PM on August 07, 2011
At his Media Myth Alert blog, W. Joseph Campbell has some fun with the Washington Post's latest ombudsman, who's ready to switch his Rock'em Sock'em Robot toys into full-on automatic for the people mode:
The ombudsman of the Washington Post, Patrick Pexton, weighs in today with platitudes and hang-wringing [sic–Ed] about the newspaper. He mostly misses the mark.
Pexton writes in his column that the Post's "future lies not with the rich; it lies with the citizenry.
"This newspaper must be the one source of high-quality, probing Washington news that readers in this region and across the country can look to for holding their government accountable. This publication must be for all Americans."
Oh, brother.
But wait: Here's more vague abstraction:
"The Post," Pexton writes, "can't be a liberal publication or a conservative one. It must be hard-hitting, scrappy and questioning — skeptical of all political figures and parties and beholden to no one. It has to be the rock-'em-sock-'em organization that is passionate about the news. It needs to be less bloodless and take more risks when chasing the story and the truth."
A "rock-'em-sock-'em organization," eh? Well, that's useful guidance.
In his five or so months as ombudsman, Pexton hasn't dared touch the electrified third rail about the Post, which one of his predecessors, Deborah Howell, gamely if belatedly addressed.
That's a decided lack of intellectual diversity in the Post's newsroom. In mid-November 2008, shortly after Barack Obama was elected president, Howell wrote in her ombudsman column:
"I'll bet that most Post journalists voted for Obama. I did. There are centrists at The Post as well. But the conservatives I know here feel so outnumbered that they don't even want to be quoted by name in a memo."
Howell's column quoted Tom Rosenstiel of the Project for Excellence in Journalism as saying that "conservatives are right that journalism has too many liberals and not enough conservatives. It's inconceivable that that is irrelevant."
Wait, hasn't the Post been in rock'em sock'em mode enough already? One of writers founded an email listserv for 400 or so of his fellow leftwing writers on which the following was written:
SPENCER ACKERMAN, WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT: Let's just throw Ledeen against a wall. Or, pace Dr. Alterman, throw him through a plate glass window. I'll bet a little spot of violence would shut him right the fuck up, as with most bullies.
Also on the list, fellow "liberal" Dave Weigel, then with the Post (now with Slate, which is owned by the Post) wrote:
"This would be a vastly better world to live in if Matt Drudge decided to handle his emotional problems more responsibly, and set himself on fire."
That doesn't sound like it's in the Marquess of Queensberry boxing rules. Neither does Ackerman egging on his fellow JournoListas to "take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country?"
Curiously though, as Byron York of the competing Washington Examiner noted last year, "At Washington Post, mum's the word on JournoList."
Which sounds like it's still very much the case there, based on its ombudsman's latest column. But then, as the quotes above from the JournoList illustrate, whatever rock'em, sock'em slugfest the Post thinks it's in, the paper has been on the receiving end of most of the blows in recent years, as it increasingly loses its fight with reality, who tends to be a rather unmerciful sparring partner.
Incidentally, if the Post's ombudsman really does believe that the future "lies not with the rich; it lies with the citizenry," he might want to inform the paper's writers of this notion. Because they've been most unhappy with America's citizenry for the past three years.
Related: More rock'em sock'em action here, Fast & Furious style:"The Washington Post has a Partner's Share in Terry's Death," Neil W. McCabe of Human Events writes. "Instead of reporting on Fast & Furious operation, they were its PR team."

Great job! Arrived a little early Nd was quick to get started with things. Rearranged furniture as i was trying to figure out how to set the rooms up. Great, friendly guys!
Want the freshest crews and best prices? After moving 3,739 people in Greene, here's our data for the best times to move.


It's a new day, friends.
S jr has started to roll. We've already had a couple of near-falls and good god let me tell you it's not easy to get my heart rate back down after a sudden lunge. The days of plopping him on the sofa and casually walking away are so very over.
This also means that he needs to graduate from his swaddler, the Miracle Blanket, which was recommended by my friend Monica (THANK YOU!). After trying three different styles, the Miracle Blanket beat them all thoroughly. I love that it doesn't have any velcro or fasteners...one of the styles we tried was so velcro-heavy unwrapping S jr while sleeping was a sonic nightmare. And man, this baby's arms want to be FREE! So the Miracle Blanket's design ensures baby's arms stay snug at his sides. Brilliant.
Okay, but now we move on. Both Corey and I were a curious (and a little nervous) to see how S jr would sleep without being swaddled. The effect of the swaddle has been so quick and so powerful – he calmed immediately and was asleep within minutes and stayed that way through the night. But rolling in a swaddle isn't good. Burrito on the loose.
Luckily, another dear friend, Wendy, reached out right around this time and put me in touch with the kind folks at Baby Deedee. I expressed interest in their products, and they quickly sent a Sleepsie Lite for S jr to try.
With the hot weather, we've been blasting the AC, so oddly, he needs something warmer to sleep in at night.
This little sleeper is perfect! It really is super soft, and snuggly, and the zipper design is genius. We haven't had to do any midnight diaper changes for awhile *knock on wood* but I can see how the easy zip at the bottom would make it simple.
It's also really cute, which never hurts. Those little knee dots? Come on.
And right now, joyOdowntown readers can get 20% off your total purchase by clicking HERE.
Thank you, Baby Deedee for sharing the Sleepsie Lite with us!
