Taking it up on a ladder is a dream. Just hang it on my ladder and paint away and not having to change from tray to paint can, just one tray now (unlike the can I took up once and dropped the whole can). I like that it's made of a strong plastic because it won't rust like my old metal trays. Thank you for a great design.

You want to win and have the potential the United States defaults on it's debt, trashes the dollar and goes into hyperinflation?
comment on a post Bad 2009 over 5 years ago
There is so much going on right now and we've been watching and writing up as much as we can.
I want to point to two posts.
The first, Take Action, is the actual text of the bill being proposed before Congress and it's outrageous. It gives executive power with no further ability from Congress to intercede. This bill must be stopped.
The second post, What the Hell Just Happened? gives a very concise overview of the recent bail out timeline, with graphs, specifics but yet explains so a layperson can follow what the hell is going on here.
This has been shock and awe, 2.0 folks and they are moving so quickly and hence the public cannot digest what they are really doing with their money!
(EP is a new community blog site, like myDD but devoted to all things econ. If money is involved, we're interested in looking at it. We have a lot of people who post on DK, myDD and the Netroots sites writing on EP, simply working to get more focus on the real stuff. Follow the money is our motto!)
comment on a post Tuesday proving Larry Kudlow and other Ayn Rand droogies wrong over 5 years ago
Great Post, with lots of details on the coming financial conditions.
Folks I hope all appreciate someone taking the time to research out this information to point to some seriously bad news.
I gotta point to midtowng (gjohnsit)'s blog, Obama isn't going to save you. No, this is not an Obama bash blog post. The title is pointing to a series of economic reports, focus on financials that imply really scary trouble coming at us.
I'm pretty much of the theory of the dribble upon economy, where we continue this slide into decay but not some sort of major Economic Armageddon scenario. This post and reading the links which are his references, scared the shit out of me.
comment on a post Greenwald: Uncritical Obama Devotion Is Destructive over 6 years ago
I'm glad to see this because it isn't the person who is running that I thought was why everyone blogged but the fact they wanted real policy change that is in favor of working America, in the national interest and for the people.
comment on a post Some Montana & South Dakota Exit Polls over 6 years ago
They are trying to get supers to switch right now to try to spin the media story to fairly ignore she has a blow out in SD, which is possible.
comment on a post ARG New Polls for S.D. and Montana over 6 years ago
no, this is buyer's remorse. The Obama buzz is wearing off and now people are thinking about that person actually running the country.
Good for MT, SD. They are independent Western states. It doesn't surprise me they are going to think for themselves.
comment on a post Kentucky (& NC) for Clinton over 6 years ago
that is really surprising as well as quite damning on Obama. I would have never expected that.
comment on a post Oregon Town Hall Meeting over 6 years ago
If you want to volunteer to work the phones,
I suspect it's going by your zip code so if you want to work the phones in Oregon, you need to pick an Oregon zip.
This was extremely good actually, she hit it out of the ball park.
I'm personally disgusted at the media blackout and it is a black out on Clinton. Not a word on Bill and Chelsea's meetings in the local press.

comment on a post Clinton's role over 6 years ago
Another commentary on this overall process over on The Economic Populist and how policy and agenda is being drown like a dead cat.
For all of you who actually research out policy, votes, legislation, the money behind legislation and so on, The Economic Populist is a community blog but a deep analysis, fact based blog. We write about the statistical details, facts on trade, economics, labor,subprime, CPI, inflation and so on, which currently are nowhere to be found on most major blogs.
on a comment on Hillary Clinton Going All In In Kentucky over 6 years ago
They won't GOTV, hello, now are you so full of your cult that you cannot read a few basic sentences?
on a comment on Hillary Clinton Going All In In Kentucky over 6 years agoIt's a well known fact they grabbed people out of universities and sent them to "Obama training camp"
well before the 1st primary to organize and prophetalize on the campuses.
comment on a post Hillary Clinton Going All In In Kentucky over 6 years ago
For one, there are a lot of new time voters in Oregon who are actually GOP and switched to vote in this primary.
Then, school let out. Frankly the Obama campaign has used campuses beyond the pale but school is out.
Finally, there are a lot of people undecided in OR, although the inability of these pollsters to understand people use cell phones today is another issue.
It's also a GOTV thing. I believe only 29% of the ballots have been turned in. Clinton should be out here, someway to get their voters to fill out those ballots and drop them off.
he is there to get them to fill out ballots....the Clintons needs to do the same in a big, big way!
on a comment on Hillary Clinton conference call over 6 years ago
Look, read it and if you have a statistically valid critique, by all means but that is not what he did in his analysis.
The Obamamaniacs scare me because any sort of reality they attack if they don't like what that reality says. Ya know, numbers are numbers, stats are stats, deal with it.
comment on a post Hillary Clinton conference call over 6 years ago
I found something fairly amazing from American research yesterday:
A Surprise About Obama, Clinton, and Turnout
Conventional wisdom has it that Barack Obama's primary victories are based on his ability to increase turnout.
A look at what happens when voter turnout increases in the primaries proves that this notion is wrong. In fact, Obama has had his greatest primary (and caucus) victories when turnouts have been low.
Obama received 66% of the primary vote in Georgia when 22.7% of all registered voters in the state voted in the Democratic primary. In Virginia, Obama received 64% of the primary vote when 21.1% of all registered voters in the state voted in the Democratic primary. In Mississippi, Obama received 61% of the primary vote when 24.4% of all registered voters in the state voted in the Democratic primary.
Hillary Clinton received 67% of the primary vote in West Virginia when 30.1% of all registered voters in the state voted in the Democratic primary. In Pennsylvania, Clinton received 55% of the vote when 27.7% of all registered voters in the state voted in the Democratic primary. In Ohio, Clinton received 54% of the primary vote when 30.5% of all registered voters in the state voted in the primary.
There are exceptions (such as Arkansas, Tennessee, and Rhode Island), but Clinton, and not Obama, tends to win in the states where turnouts are higher. The relationship is strong enough that Democratic primary turnout can be predicted using Clinton's share of the vote.
--Dick Bennett
I'd say that's another argument in favor of Clinton and truly went against what I thought was the case.
on a comment on Hillary Clinton conference call over 6 years ago
about not intimidating voters, about making sure everyone has a voice, free of influence, upon which to cast their vote? As I recall, something about a campaign not using other resources, such as taxpayer funded universities to fuel their campaign?
So, which rules are you referring to, the ones that now favor Obama?

have landed.
Shannon Keith of Studio City was up after 3 a.m. Friday morning to get the Beagles home to foster homes and to the Beagle Freedom Project based in Valley Village. They were all sound asleep, but she still had work to be done.
She tweeted: "They arrived at LAX safe and sound. They boys are all very different. Thanks to everyone who came out tonight and helped and everyone who donated to this rescue! Pictures soon. p.s. We still really need donations."
The dogs were going to be used as test animals in a now-closed clinic in Spain. A coalition of dog rescue groups shipped the dogs overseas, and they will be socialized and then placed in good homes.
However, the group needs to re-coup the more than $80,000 in costs, and so far, donations are a little more than $3,000.
Keith explains the easiest way to donate is to text over the phone:
Texting BEAGLE to 55678 will not automatically add a donation to your wireless bill. Instead, it will prompt a return phone call from a Beagle Freedom Project volunteer who will then process your pledge and provide more information about the rescue. Thank you to those who have already texted! One word, to one number, helps forty beautiful beagles continue their journey to freedom, and "furever" homes!
Beagle Freedom Project received national attention for their rescue efforts.
The group still needs foster families. How to help? Go to: BeagleFreedom.
Keith said, "It's hard work and we need several more fosters and people to come."
Some of the dogs were saved and adopted in homes in Europe. The dogs were about to be euthanized until Keith stepped in, according to Gary Smith of the Beagle Freedom Project. Keith began rescuing beagles from laboratories about 11 months ago, Smith said. Three rescues of beagles who had been in labs in California were conducted.
Smith said he and his wife took in a beagle who had been in a lab and "we had him for five weeks. He started off as a terrified animal, afraid of all noises," Smith said. "He didn't even wag his tail for two weeks, and at the end of five weeks, he started to become excited, the way dogs do. I would say that in the five weeks we had him, he got back about 70 percent of his personality."
According to City News Service, the plane landed and the dogs passed through customs, and all but one of them headed off in a caravan of vans and sport utility vehicles bringing them to Keith's home, where they arrived about 9 p.m. One dog was picked up by his new parents directly at the airport.

But like what Pani said they would have caught it earlier in that case, I don't know, but now I'm sure Scott (and Tessa too) feel validated and will feel more confident in their FD.
After GPF FD i read at few forums about this combination lift base value. So this happened not becase Scott was unhappy with there component score.
Fnd as for FD - we cant ignore Tracy Wilson words at GPF and FF FD.
So just to be clear, how would the score look now? And didn't we mention this difference between the single lifts and combination lifts way before this? How come the ISU never noticed?
pani, do you have a link for that commentary by tracy?
Good new about the FD marking.......happy to hear it.
Addicted to FSU
i wonder how this will be acknowledged beyond a little note on the isu website because according to everything in the media, tessa and scott lost the fd and are sore losers for feeling like they had it in them to win that fd... plus, the loss confirmed once again that funny face wasn't good enough.
But anyhow
P.S. Those photos from TEB are stunning. Fabulous work!
Is that error on the GOE of the combination lift a .50 increase in the TES or the PCS part of the score? As I recall, Scott was unhappy with the lower PCS in the FD and losing because of that, rather than the TES, but maybe I'm wrong. So, one could argue that the fall in the SD did cost them the GPF title, as they've been consistently marked well in the SD, and with the correct score on the combination lift, they've also been marked the best with the FD. I wonder if Tracy Wilson would change her comments, now that she realizes they actually won the FD against what is considered a "better" FD from D&W? This just will make worlds even more interesting doesn't it. Maybe it's not a forgone conclusion that D&W will win worlds?
This is OT and probably already mentioned, but I wonder if Tessa and Scott would skate to something from The Artist? Just got back; loved the film, LOVED the score. I know they've done similar things before, but it would be so cool.
bbkenn it was on the ISU homepage.
victoriaheidi, what is the artist about. If it has any romantic feel to it, I don't think they should do it cuz a lot of people seem to think every FD they've ever done has a lovey dovey theme and that that's the only theme they are capable of.

"That's interesting, I'm not trying to be cynical or pessimistic at all, but this was just a hunch that I got. Even without the 1 pt deduction that T/S got as a result of the fall, I still think D/W would have had a few points over them. And I also feel that if it wasn't for the 5 pt lead D/W had in the SD, the point difference in the FD would have been greater in favor of D/W."
Why, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say?

Choco Logo, the great little chocolate shop on Broadway downtown, is playing both sides of the political fence.
These things Choco Logo makes, you could not make them up. (We love that picture above that The News took earlier this year , showing founder Dan Johnson looking like Willy Wonka, surrounded by glops and cascades of chocolate.)
Last night, when we stopped in, a friend was buying skulls. They were coated with white chocolate and inside was dark chocolate and in the middle was a long thick nugget of toffee. They would be great other than that they are skulls. Yuch! We know they are candy but still.
At the checkout, Buzz was fascinated to learn that they are toasting Mitt Romney with a confection called Mitt Rum-ney. It involves rum, yum!
They also have an Obama bar that includes salty caramel, supposedly a favorite of his.
Both these bars get our vote!
Surely they will make the last week before the election all the more frenetic, as we all hit a bipartisan sugar high...

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A report from the U.S. Drought Monitor classifies the entire state of Wisconsin as "abnormally dry."
Moderate to extreme drought conditions continue across the southern three-quarters of Wisconsin. Extreme drought -- the second most severe category -- continues across the southern counties that border Illinois from Walworth County to the Iowa border.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the numbers are as of Tuesday and were released on Thursday.
Meanwhile, an updated crop conditions report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that soil moisture is 71 percent short to very short on average across Wisconsin.
The state Department of Natural Resources says three counties in northwest Wisconsin -- Polk, Burnett and Washburn -- are considered to be at a high risk on the agency's fire danger scale.

The Hebrew so rendered means "a covering," because clouds cover the sky. The word is used as a symbol of the Divine presence, as indicating the splendour of that glory which it conceals (Ex. 16:10; 33:9; Num. 11:25; 12:5; Job 22:14; Ps. 18:11). A "cloud without rain" is a proverbial saying, denoting a man who does not keep his promise (Prov. 16:15; Isa. 18:4; 25:5; Jude 1:12). A cloud is the figure of that which is transitory (Job 30:15; Hos. 6:4). A bright cloud is the symbolical seat of the Divine presence (Ex.29:42, 43; 1 Kings 8:10; 2 Chr. 5:14; Ezek. 43:4), and was called the Shechinah (q.v.). Jehovah came down upon Sinai in a cloud (Ex. 19:9); and the cloud filled the court around the tabernacle in the wilderness so that Moses could not enter it (Ex. 40:34, 35). At the dedication of the temple also the cloud "filled the house of the Lord" (1 Kings 8:10). Thus in like manner when Christ comes the second time he is described as coming "in the clouds" (Matt. 17:5; 24:30; Acts 1:9, 11). False teachers are likened unto clouds carried about with a tempest (2 Pet. 2:17). The infirmities of old age, which come one after another, are compared by Solomon to "clouds returning after the rain" (Eccl. 12:2). The blotting out of sins is like the sudden disappearance of threatening clouds from the sky (Isa. 44:22). Cloud, the pillar of, was the glory-cloud which indicated God's presence leading the ransomed people through the wilderness (Ex. 13:22; 33:9, 10). This pillar preceded the people as they marched, resting on the ark (Ex. 13:21; 40:36). By night it became a pillar of fire (Num. 9:17-23).

Baton Rouge—
Today, Louisiana health officials unveiled their plan, in development since February 2012, for enhancing the state's health inspection process for retail food establishments.
In a news conference, Department of Health and Hospitals Office of Public Health Assistant Secretary J.T. Lane detailed the department's four-point improvement plan, which focuses on implementing new management tools statewide; centralizing and standardizing the inspection process; adding performance metrics to health inspectors' annual performance evaluations; and streamlining the process of issuing compliance orders. OPH will roll this plan out in stages over the next year.
"In February, we took aggressive steps to begin assessing our processes and implemented a pilot project in the field that would improve performance and productivity, with real-time measurements to evaluate how we are doing," Lane said. "Through our work with Lean Six Sigma, which is a business strategy designed to increase productivity, efficiency and effectiveness, we've developed a data-driven approach to make our health inspection program one of the strongest in the country."
The plan will maximize the productivity of the state health inspector staff, who conduct more than 69,500 inspections each year, and standardize operations. In the nine parishes that were part of the pilot for this program, on average, productivity more than doubled, and past due inspections decreased by 33 to 44 percent.
The four parts of the plan include:
Beginning in January, OPH will spend the first quarter of 2013 focused on inventory analysis and staff training on the new management tools, which are a critical component of the Statewide rollout. In April, the scheduler tool and daily production meetings will be implemented in each parish, with these fully functional and operating as intended by the end of June. By September, these tools will be fully adopted and the current workforce to meet the inspection demand. OPH leadership anticipates the backlog of overdue inspections will be clear and proceed on a schedule of U.S. Food & Drug Administration recommendations, which calls for a varying number of annual inspections based on risk factors affecting health and safety.
"We are deeply committed to the safety and health of some of our State's most valued treasures, our people and our restaurants and food establishments," said Lane. "Restaurants provide great food and jobs in our communities, and the best way for us to support both consumers and establishments is to ensure they are offering a safe bite to eat."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Nearly two years after a drunk driver slammed into a car going more than 90 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, a Charlotte couple spoke about a $1.7 million jury verdict they received.
But Matt and Meredith Eastridge said it was not about money, but making sure places that serve alcohol change ways.
Matt was behind the wheel of his Toyota RAV 4 on October 29, 2010, when a 1997 Volvo crashed into the SUV. Matt's wife, Meredith, was also in the SUV. She was six months pregnant at the time.
David Huffman, the driver of the Volvo, died at the scene of the crash. Matt and Meredith were critically injured in the crash. Meredith lost her un-born child, and both of the Eastridge's spent months in the hospital.
Huffman had just left Eddie's Place Restaurant and Bar in the Cotswold area of Charlotte.
"During the course of a little more than two hours they were served four draft beers and six double Grand Marnier. It's the equivalent of almost 15 drinks," said attorney Charles G. Monnett. "The person left the bar and drove down Providence Road at a speed estimated at over 100 miles per hour in a 45 mph speed zone."
"It's hard for me to talk about. I know it's been two years since this happened but the pain of losing him doesn't go away," said Meredith Eastridge "We have a daughter and she's wonderful but he was our first child and we just were so excited to have a little boy on the way and now we have to go visit him at a graveyard."
Last week the couple won a civil lawsuit against the establishment that served him right before Huffman was involved in the fatal crash.
Now they say that they want to make sure that businesses start training their employees on how to recognize how to notice when customers have had too much to drink.
"The drunk driver who hit Matt and Meredith had a blood alcohol level of .23, which is almost three times the legal limit." said Monnett.
Monnet said while the state of North Carolina has laws forbidding establishments from serving customers who are intoxicated, the state does not have a set training for employees teaching them the signs to look out for when dealing with customers and alcohol.
"We want the bars to have responsibility and not over serve their patrons," said Matt Eastridge. "Justice was served. It's just a shame that it (took) deaths to get to this point."
"We want to make sure that everyone from the owner all the way down to the person who hands the glass to the customer knows what to look for and knows when people are being over served," said Monnett.
The Eastridges made a contribution to Mothers Against Drunk Driving in honor of their un-born son, who they named Eli.

Niagara Gazette — When I heard the news flash on CNN, the first words that came to mind were "Finally! She made it. What a remarkable lady!"
It seemed for the next several hours everyone was talking about Diana Nyad, 64, who had completed her 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida in 52 hours. And the first person to do so without a shark cage. She had failed in four earlier attempts, starting at age 28.
I first met her in August 1974, when she was in this area to prepare for a marathon swim. If things had worked out, she would have been the first person to make a double-crossing — north to south — of Lake Ontario. That's a 64-mile trip, from Toronto to Port Dalhousie, Ont., and back.
At that time, I had been working as a correspondent — called a stringer in that era — for the Toronto Globe & Mail. Many of the swimmers then launched their 32-mile lake crossing near the U.S. Coast Guard Station-Niagara,Youngstown or from Niagara-on-the-Lake on the Ontario side.
Diana entered the water at 10:45 a.m. that late August night and arrived in Port Dalhousie at 4:20 a.m. the next day. She rested for about 16 minutes — official time allowed by English Channel swim rules that she observed — and resumed the arduous swim. But in two hours and five miles out from Dalhousie, she suddenly stiffened out and couldn't move. Her veteran trainer, Cliff Lumsdon, jumped in and pulled Nyad from the water.
She was depressed about that failure in 1974. Diana also was bitter, friends said, that no one had even offered her a single prize for her to even try the lake swim both ways. She thought that perhaps it was only because she was an American and that the Canadians didn't want to be upstaged. After all, it was a Toronto school girl, Marilyn Bell, 16, who had captured the country's attention in Sept. 9,1954, when she set set the record for swimming across the lake in 20 hours and 56 minutes.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — HONOR — A night at the Cherry Bowl Drive In is like taking a trip back in time.
Honor's movie landmark is all about the authentic 1950s feel, with its old-fashioned speakers, the "Let's all go to the lobby" intro and a 1953 popcorn popper that churns out the real butter-flavored treat at the concession stand.
"Even the mustard and ketchup dispensers on the wall -- those are original," said Cherry Bowl owner Laura Clark. "We try to keep as much history as we can."
But these days, there's no denying the future at the iconic Benzie County business. The movie industry is transitioning completely over to digital, meaning the Cherry Bowl is in danger of becoming history if it can't raise about $80,000 to fund a new digital projector.
"This is the last year they are going to be making 35 mm film, and without 35 mm film, we won't have a movie to play," Clark said. "Without us converting to digital, we'll be just a big screen in the middle of Honor with no movies. We need help."
Clark said the Cherry Bowl is in danger of closing without the new projector. She and Benzie County business leaders are hoping northern Michigan residents will rally behind the Cherry Bowl, either through financial contributions to help pay for the projector or by participating in a unique contest that could land the Cherry Bowl the much needed digital equipment.
Honda Motor Co. launched a campaign to raise awareness about the state of drive-in movie theaters in America: part of the campaign involves the giveaway of five new digital projectors to five drive-in theaters.
The Cherry Bowl can win the new projector from Honda if enough people go to the website Projectdrivein.com and vote for the Cherry Bowl. Participants can vote once a day, every day, through Sept. 9. They also can vote by text at 444 999 vote61, with 61 being the identifier for the Benzie County drive-in.
"We've been blasting it out through Facebook and eblasts, encouraging people to vote," said Mary Carroll, president of the Benzie County Chamber of Commerce. "It's a piece of history not just for Benzie County but for the entire country. Drive-in theaters are an iconic part of our country, and I think it would be very sad to lose such an iconic business through no fault of their own."
The Cherry Bowl was built in 1953. Clark and her late husband, Harry, bought the business in 1997 and it's had a nice run since. The line to enter the drive-in is often long, particularly on weekends, as dusk descends on one of northern Michigan's most scenic areas.
Clark hopes the Cherry Bowl will be a part of Benzie County's future for a long time to come -- with the public's help.
"We are very family friendly," Clark said. "We don't play anything stronger than PG 13 ... and people know they can bring their kids here and have fun, making memories with their children."

The polar vortex seems to have abated but Im still left cold when I think about the Twins winning only 66 games last year, pairing a frozen offense with a starting rotation that compiled an ERA so far north of 5.00 that Robert Peary should have led an expedition to it. In an effort to warm their fans waning interest, Minnesota uncharacteristically spent a real chunk of money in the off season (okay, it was the additional MLB TV
Parker Hageman posed his thoughts on how the Twins can improve their rotation through free agency. The players he suggested were either once-good pitchers who are now in decline or once-promising pitchers who have failed to keep their promises. If you are the Twins GM and those are the best pitching options the team can hope for in 2014, you wonder if there might be a simpler (and much cheaper) solution that nobody's thinking of.
2 Leagues 16 teams in 4 4-team divisions, wherever possible preserving traditional league associations and rivalries. (Only exceptions - Colorado, Tampa Bay swap leagues to have closer divisional opponents) 1 western expansion team and 1 southern expansion team are needed to field even team numbers by league and division with symmetrical alignments.
Ideally no inter-league games. 18 games against teams
The Twins started the 1980 season with a 12-game west coast road trip and didn't open at Metropolitan Stadium until late in April. I was going to college in Minneapolis at the time and when the day of the home opener dawned warm & sunny, there was no mistaking mother nature's intent for me to go to the ballpark and not my Tuesday classes. A buddy of mine had reached a similar conclusion so, seeing as I had the wheels, (a sweet mint green '73 Nova) we
In looking at average team WAR in the American League over the 11 years of the Gardenhire era, we see consistent yearly offensive values of +19 wins, pitching values of +13 wins, and fielding values of zero. Comparing the Twins performances in each of the Gardenhire seasons to those averages gives us a quick picture of the successes or failures each season and how the offensive, pitching, and fielding prowess of the Twins has trended.

Daily Item
---- — By Todd Hummel
For The Daily Item
WILLIAMSPORT -- The new-wave baseball thinking says that clutch doesn't really exist.
The Hughesville baseball team would argue that point after Thursday's District 4 Class AA semifinal with Southern Columbia at Historic Bowman Field.
The Spartans got back-to-back two-out, two-run singles in the third inning and escaped two bases-loaded jams late in the game to earn the school's first trip to the district championship with a 6-1 victory over the Tigers.
"We didn't get the big hit when we needed too," Southern Columbia coach Randy Young said. "They weren't exactly peppering (Southern pitcher Matt Klock), but they did what they needed to do. They got the hits when they needed them and we didn't."
Hughesville has won 11 of 12 games, including six consecutive. The Spartans have allowed just one unearned run in its last four games -- spanning its final regular-season game and three district playoff games. Hughesville improves to 16-7, which is the most wins in program history. The Spartans will face the winner of last night's nightcap in Williamsport between Loyalsock and Montoursville, today at Bowman Field. The win also gives Hughesville its first-ever trip to the PIAA playoffs.
Southern Columbia had its nine-game winning streak snapped and finishes the season at 17-6.
The Tigers' starter Matt Klock struggled early with his control, needing 44 pitches to get through the first two innings scoreless. It came back to haunt the righty in the third.
With one out, a hit batter, a single and a walk loaded the bases for Hughesville. After fielder's choice erased a runner at home for the second out, Jason Stroup lined a two-run single to give Hughesville a 2-0 lead.
Stroup moved to second on a throw and designated hitter Zach Fry followed with another two-run single to give the Spartans a 4-0 lead.
After throwing 69 pitches in the first three innings, Klock settled in throwing 28 pitches in the next three innings, before tiring in the seventh and allowing two more runs. He finished the game with three strikeouts, four walks and three hit batters.
"I thought Matt pitched well enough to win the game, they certainly didn't hit very many balls hard against him," Young said.
Hughesville starter Justin Lambert cruised through the first four innings, allowing just one hit and three base runners. He finally ran into trouble in the fifth when a walk, a hit batter and a single by catcher Taylor Young loaded the bases with two outs for No. 3 hitter Garrett Sosnoski. On the first pitch to Sosnoski, the courtesy runner for Young broke for an occupied second base and was picked off to end the inning by the Spartans.
"You can't single out the kids. We didn't put the bat on the ball like we thought we would (today), so I was disappointed in our offense," Young said. "I'm not going to beat the kid up. He's was tougher on himself than I would have been. He felt really bad."
Then with one out in the bottom of the sixth, the Tigers threatened again. Two errors and a single put runners on second and third. Lambert was lifted after 95 pitches for lefty Sadiq Bukholder.
Burkholder struggled with his command, walking back-to-back hitters to pull Southern Columbia to 4-1. He went to a 2-1 count to the next hitter before inducing a double-play grounder to end the Tigers' final threat of the game.

[Editor's note: The following is a blog post by Bob Smith. If you'd like to blog for Belmont Patch, click here.]
By Bob Smith
Here's a topic that almost everyone who enjoys wine has an opinion on … what's better for sealing a bottle of wine: a cork? Or a screw cap? This is a controversial topic that is somewhat akin to debating religion or politics with your friends. I'm curious as to what you think and hope you'll post your thoughts on this.
Natural cork has been used as the preferred bottle closure since the 18th century and its adoption was a definite improvement over the French practice of using oil-soaked rags to stopper wine bottles. Cork is both a natural and renewable resource – the majority of cork comes from Portugal where the cork bark is typically harvested every ten years and the cork trees (actually, Cork Oak) live for over 200 years. Natural cork is used on about 80% of all wine bottles produced every year and, believe it or not, there are well over 20 billion bottles of wine produced every year.
In addition to the long history of cork usage and the pleasant (usually!) ritual of uncorking a bottle of wine, proponents of natural cork argue that the cork closure "breathes" and allows a small amount of oxygen to interact with the wine in the bottle helping it age and mature. There does appear to be evidence that a natural cork closure is not a perfect seal, but does allow some interaction to occur between the wine and the outside environment. The appearance, ritual and romance of opening a bottle of fine wine (is there a better sound than the "pop" of a cork?) is deeply ingrained in the retail side of the business including fine restaurants, bars and wine bars. For many people it's just not the same if the sommelier appears at your table and, with a flourish, unscrews the cap on your $75 bottle of wine!
The screw cap closure was introduced to the wine industry in the 1970's with the promise of making wine more accessible and in eliminating the occasional problem of "corked" wines (more on that to follow). The screw cap is simple and easy to use – just twist it to break the seal and unscrew it. No need for a foil cutter or corkscrew and no need to worry about the cork breaking or not coming out. Just twist off the screw cap and enjoy. Proponents argue that the screw cap technology does allow breathing to occur but more importantly it eliminates the concern about "corked" wines.
So what is a "corked" wine? Corked wine refers to a wine that has been contaminated with cork taint (a chemical compound known as TCA) that is formed when natural fungi found in cork come in contact with bleaches or other common compounds used in winemaking. Cork taint is not dangerous to human wine consumers, but lends a musty smell and taste to the wine. Frankly, it smells somewhat like dirty sweat socks. In our experience (which is typical for the industry) we encounter about 1 corked bottle for roughly every 100 bottles that we open. This is not good, but part of the price of using natural cork. It's also the reason that we are careful to taste every bottle that we open at a tasting event before we offer it to others.
At Jazz Cellars we continue to use natural cork, but primarily because the bottling line we use is not set up to use screw caps as closures. We would certainly like to get rid of the risk of "corked" bottles, but we are still not sure that the majority of restaurants and wine bars are ready to embrace the screw cap. What do you think?
PS – Ever open a bottle of wine and have the cork break and actually fall into the bottle? Of course you can decant the wine (through a strainer), but if you are at a party, you can amaze folks with a simple trick to get the cork out using just a chopstick and piece of twine. Send email to email@example.com and I'll send you back the instructions.
