It's been proven: We, quite literally, can't get enough of the holidays. We wrap framed artwork in patterned paper, we gorge on buffets of hams and birds, we even domesticate wild trees. Early-morning shopping stampedes aside, the holidays can't be beat.
There are cynics out there, too, tucked away in the dimly lit corner of their joyless neighborhood taverns. And they make a good point: it's a lot of a lot. But, when done right, a nice little bundle of sentiment can go a long way.
Two current holiday-themed productions attempt to tap into this seasonality, with all the bells and whistles that Christmas and the theatrical stage warrant. Each has its hits and misses, but both serve their purpose.
A musical 'Carol'
O'Connell and Company brings, unsurprisingly, the most expected of the holiday revue genre. The holiday theme notwithstanding, it is a familiar offering from Mary Kate O'Connell's group, which mixes cabaret, sendup, song cycles and legit musical theater on a regular basis. Kathy Feininger's two-act comedy borrows from some of these modes, namely Broadway parody and Charles Dickens tribute.
David Butler is our Scrooge, and O'Connell and Michael Starzynski are his accessory everypeople. The three – with the ample, thankful talents of music director and pianist Chuck Basil – steamroll through Dickens's tale, turning big and little moments into musical fodder. Songs are built on a memorable repertoire of show tunes, including classics from Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Lowe, to newer standards by Stephen Sondheim and Kander & Ebb.
Lyrics have been rewritten to fit this story; some cleverly ("Everything's Coming Up Roses" when a reformed Scrooge pays off a debt), some oddly (a self-effacing, torchy reinterpretation of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"), and some just wrongly (church solicitation-via-dance hall solicitation with "Big Spender"). At least Feininger is going for something entirely unexpected.
O'Connell brings her trademark yuk-yuk to the table, ensuring that neither Christmas nor Broadway are sentimental enough on her stage. A wink, nod and poke throw it all over the top, like a stocking stuffed with candy and games.
Butler and Basil have their own straightforward, sometimes droll, styles, which help even things out. Starzynski is self-aware enough to play subtlety alongside hammy schlock. The four work well together, even if one of them is annoying you at any given moment.
The mostly fun, easily harmless show makes mistakes in its production, led by director Jeffrey Coyle. Even though this is a trunk show built around an old-fashioned piano party, in which Basil knows every song, and nobody minds a few improvised rewrites, there's still too much stuff. A little elegance wouldn't be too much to ask, even with these gags.
O'Connell's production style has long promoted a cute, literal, unoffensive tone. But here's a chance to make old theatrical magic; the "Let's put on a show! And by the way, all we have are our friends and a piano!" approach might have elevated this from kitsch to craft, as unlikely as that sounds.
Coyle is stuck at times, when his material drags on a gag into eternity. No one needs another "Phantom of the Opera" suite, parody or not.
But to make things worse, this second-act tribute is festooned with props and costume gags so amateurish, you're reminded of the past lives of this grade school auditorium on the ECC North campus. Bits like this end up diluting what is an already garishly decorated, supremely orchestrated, and divinely collective sentiment of togetherness, tenderness and humility.
Two stars
What: "A Broadway Christmas Carol"
When: Through Dec. 16
Where: Presented by O'Connell & Company at Gleasner Hall, Erie Community College North Campus, 6205 Main St., Williamville

'Life' revisited
Joseph Demerly, managing director of Kavinoky Theatre, has written his own version of a holiday revue, and, in addition to directing, producing and starring in it, has also partnered with the folks at the Forest Lawn Cemetery Heritage Foundation.
His show is similarly in homage to a holiday favorite, and is dubbed "It WAS a Wonderful Life."
The one-hour-plus presentation is less revue and more monologue cycle. It is built on the premise that the long-term residents of the famous Buffalo cemetery have come to share their holiday memories.
What sounds like a morose, potentially morbid display of friendly ghosts and black-and-white nostalgia, is actually a delightfully salient little piece.
His cast of 10, including himself as John Lay Jr., the first person buried there, in 1850, is well tuned to the objectives in this production. It is a show about the past, but given the legacies involved, it's as relevant to us today as it was to them then.
Leann Trautman is delightful as Martha Williams, a founder of Children's Hospital of Buffalo. She speaks of the first site for the hospital, near the current (and soon to be vacated) Bryant Street location. Christopher Standart is Robert B. Adam, a founder of the Adam, Meldrum & Anderson (AM&A's) department store, now in various stages of residential and commercial remodeling.
Mary Ryan's exquisite turn as Dorothy Goetz Berlin, the first wife of composer Irving Berlin, is exceptionally in its place. Ryan's brief appearance is a joy.
Gerry Maher turns on his charm as Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the lovably questionable local man who claimed to have discovered the North Pole. His comedic relief is joined by Timothy Finnegan's Al Boasberg, a Jewish comedian who wrote for Jack Benny and George Burns, among others. Their teasing volleys add lightness to what could have been a weird wake.
The show works precisely because of measured moments like this. Demerly understands the underbelly of sentiment, which is actual warmth, rich musical harmony (aided by music director and pianist Michael Hake), and truthful, authentic grasps at what is both a delightful and mindful time of year.
Three and one half stars (Out of four)
What: "It WAS a Wonderful Life"
When: Through Jan. 5 (2 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday through Sunday)

In many places you are charged for wastewater based on the amount of water used. In some areas, wastewater charges are higher than water rates! Replacing your old toilet can save water and wastewater. All water savings achieved by your new toilets will result in identical wastewater savings.
A recent study conducted in Seattle measured water use in single-family homes before and after installation of high efficiency toilets (DeOreo, et. al. 2001). About half of the toilets installed were standard 1.6 gallon per flush (gpf) models. The other half were dual flush toilets that offer a 0.8 gallon flush for liquid and a 1.6 gallon flush for solids. The results are shown below in Table 1.
What happens when a family of four replaces all their toilets with new high efficiency models. Figure 1 shows a projection of the difference in wastewater volumes for the standard non-conserving toilet, 1.6 gpf model, and dual flush model. The family would reduce wastewater volume by more than 14,000 gallons of water per year by installing 1.6 gpf toilets and more than 17,000 gallons of wastewater per year by installing dual flush toilets!

New Hampshire Fish and Game say a hiker fell to his death while climbing in King's Ravine Saturday afternoon.
Rescue crews were called to the scene around 1p.m. A group of seven climbers were hiking near Mount Adams.
Investigators said 64-year-old Richard Gabriele slipped on hard packed snow and fell. Fish and Game officers said he fell more than 1,500 feet down a 67% grade. The fall sent him tumbling down more than 950 feet in elevation. He died at the scene.
Investigators said the group had people from Maine and Texas. All were experienced and had the right equipment. Gabriele was the last person in the line and no one actually saw him fall. None of the other hikers were hurt.

The experts at Bayer have created One a Day products to offer complete nutrition, eliminating the need to take multiple products to get enough of the key nutrients that are necessary for brain, heart, immune system, digestive, endocrine and respiratory functions.

Salem High teacher suspended pending investigation into student allegations
March 28, 2013
SALEM — A Salem High School social studies teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into allegations made by some students last week, Superintendent Tom Bratten......
disp1229 sez "WatchDog, if you are going to comment or try to recite law please get it correct."
You know what dear? If I had intended to recite an actual law or had referred to what he could have been "officially" charged with under Ohio criminal code, I would have done just that.
Read the comment again. But just our curiosity? What do you think the word impede means? The last time I looked it was exactly what you stated, minus the spelling error, "interfering".
Here, let me fix my sentence so it will be clear. "I wonder if Bratten realizes that he could be charged with interfering in an official police investigation?
Does that make you feel better now? LOL

WatchDog, if you are going to comment or try to recite law please get it correct.The school superintendent could be charged with Obstruction or Osbstructing or interfering in an ivestigation. But I have to say that I am sure of a law that says anything about impeding an investigation. ***********opd.ohio.gov/RC_Casebook/obstructing_justice_and_obstruct.htm

I swear this blind trust that we put into our school districts is ridiculous. This is why it is imperative that Parents, take back control and encourage and instruct their children, regardless of their love for their school or teachers, tell them to come to you first (AS IT SHOULD BE). So as parents, you can make the proper decisions and choices.
If I ever found out that my child was being questioned by school official in a criminal matter without my consent or presence, somebody's head would roll.

"When gathering information, you don't just jump to conclusions," he said."
I wonder if Bratten realizes he could be charged with impeding an official police investigation? School policies and protocol does not supersede an official police investigation. Bratten you did your thing, you put the teacher on paid administrated leave...now STEP ASIDE and let the police do their job. Before you cost the district a lawsuit.

Good lord frumious, give the police time to collect enough information to formally charge him (if there is enough), and give the district enough time to see if the students were truthful. Don't hold it against the school system that the world we live in doesn't work as guilty until proven innocent.
If the case is a slam dunk and then they keep the instructor in question, then you'd have a case.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) - Bill Smith isn't one to let grass - or tomatoes or anything else, for that matter - grow under his feet.
At 90, after a lifetime of military service, teaching, counseling high school students, building houses, serving as a representative of the Gideons and managing the Tri Rivers Fair, Smith today still has time to oversee Salina Mini Storage, which he owns and operates after building the first mini storage units in Salina. Oh, and in his spare time, he jogs in the mornings, bikes in the evenings and tends two gardens.
"I've had good health and have been able to accomplish a few things," said the self-effacing Smith. "I don't think we're any different than other people."
The "we" includes his wife, Wanda.
Originally from Fort Scott, Smith served in the U.S. Army Air Corps and was stationed in Coffeyville when, one winter, he obtained a three-day pass.
He was earning the pauper's sum of $21 a month and didn't have a car, so he was hitching a ride home. He made it only as far as Parsons.
"We got stalled in a bad snowstorm," he said.
The change in his itinerary proved to be life-altering.
He couldn't afford a hotel room, but he found suitable accommodations in a dollar-a-night room at the YMCA.
There was a USO club around the corner where he knew he'd find food and entertainment. He found that and more.
"I met the prettiest little gal in town," Smith said. "I met the love of my life."
He and Wanda Willson corresponded after he was transferred to Lubbock, Texas. They married in 1947, after his discharge.
They went to Kansas State College, she studying home economics and he studying agricultural education.
"I had a farm background. That was the attraction," he said of his choice of a college major.
His first teaching job was a four-year hitch in Hillsboro.
"I had great students," Smith said. "They made my record a little better than it should have."
In the early 1950s, his teaching ability attracted the attention of the Salina School District, which was starting an agricultural education program at its two-year-old high school.
His teaching style earned him a Junior Chamber of Commerce teaching award.
"I had extremely good students," Smith said. "They made my record look better than it should, again."
Always one to stay busy, and with his knowledge of construction, Smith started building houses in the summer.
Wanda used her home economics degree to decorate the finished homes.
"She made it look better than it would have otherwise," Smith said.
They'd finish one, sell it, and start another. This was in the boom years of the 1950s, when the city building department was issuing sometimes more than 300 single-family permits a month.
In all, he said, he's built 25 homes and several multifamily units.
After teaching, he became a school counselor. He retired in 1982, but retirement didn't mean a rocking chair for Smith.
He had built the first mini-storage unit in Salina, which he still manages.
"I had seen them in other communities," said Smith, who was always looking for a project.
His backyard garden wasn't big enough, so he staked claim to a plot in one of the city's community gardens.
Tomatoes are his specialty, which he shares with neighbors.
All of this apparently doesn't provide enough exercise, so Smith tries to get in a half-mile run in the morning and a mountain bike ride in the evening, either pedaling around the neighborhood or circling the parking lot at a nearby church.
He said his exercise routine stems from his days in the military.
"I was involved with athletics in the service," he said. "We were responsible for providing activities to encourage health."
But he acquired something more important from his service days than a liking for exercise and an appreciation for nasty winter weather: his beloved Wanda.
"I wouldn't have stopped in Parsons had it not been for that snowstorm," he said.

If you go
The Rockford School Board will meet to discuss a $98 million spending plan for elementary school restructuring at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Administration Building, 501 Sevent...
If you go
The Rockford School Board will meet to discuss a $98 million spending plan for elementary school restructuring at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Administration Building, 501 Seventh St. Anyone wishing to address the board needs to fill out a public participation card by 6:50 p.m. Cards are available on a table outside the third-floor board room.
ROCKFORD — A rift has formed over when new schools should be built in Rockford.
The Rockford School Board is heading into one of the most important votes in the district's history Tuesday night. It's poised to adopt a $250 million capital plan that includes closing eight schools, building two new ones and making improvements at the district's other 38 early education, elementary, middle and high schools. At the elementary level, the plan also calls for consolidation of early childhood education and relocation of bilingual classrooms.
What looked like a strong consensus among board members as recently as two weeks ago is splintering as talks turn to implementation.
In a letter released Friday, Rockford Superintendent Ehren Jarrett references several suggestions he's received from board members in recent weeks, most of which he said he's included in the final proposal. Postponing construction of new schools is not one of them.
"I cannot support the idea to delay any investment in new schools until after July 1, 2017," Jarrett states in his letter.
The district wants to develop construction plans as soon as possible and break ground in 2016, but some board members have expressed reservations with that schedule. They're asking the district to focus on other work — expansions and renovations at existing elementary schools — and then spend money on new schools.
Delay would not be fair to students and teachers at closing schools, Jarrett wrote. It could end up costing the district more to build new schools and puts this fall's referendum at risk.
"If we're going to commit to building new schools, we have to be clear in asking voters to stand with us and do what's best for our students and our community," Jarrett's letter states. "We can't hedge our bets. We have to commit. ... We can't ask voters to support the idea that we might build new schools several years from now."
Board priorities
The district's proposed facilities plan has been worked on for about a year and went through three months of public vetting.
Board members are being asked to adopt the plan and approve a fall referendum at Tuesday night's meeting.
The referendum will ask voters for permission to build new schools. It won't ask for tax increase or permission to sell bonds. Voters already approved a $139 million bond sale for school improvements in 2012.
Page 2 of 2 - Some board members are worried the district will spend too much money on new schools, and there won't be enough left for expansions and renovations that were promised as part of the 2012 referendum. They're also worried that the district may not be able to compile $250 million in the next four years, which means plans would need to be scaled back.
It's coming down to priorities, which vary from board member to board member.
"How we stage the construction is going to be a reflection of our priorities as a district and as a community," said board member Tim Rollins.
"This is an extremely, extremely important decision the board is going to make," said Board President Ken Scrivano. "This is going to have an impact on the district for many, many years to come."
Educational risk
The educational risk of not building new schools outweighs the financial risk, said board member Michael Connor.
"We need this for educational outcomes," Connor said. "The students at these schools have inadequate spaces for education. They lack intervention specialists. When they do come, they're in cramped spaces. ... For us to delay educational outcomes for these kids because we're afraid we won't have enough money doesn't make sense."
The financial impact of building sooner rather than later — better construction prices and operational saving realized by closing buildings — will play a big role in board member Mike Harner's decision.
"It would need to be a significant savings," Harner said. "A lot of times decisions like this come down to priorities, how you feel about risk and trust."
The superintendent's recommendation to the board is 25 pages. It's prefaced by Jarrett's two-page letter to board members asking for their support.
"I will respectfully and fully implement whatever plan the board approves," Jarrett wrote, "but I am asking you to please consider supporting the administration's recommendation, as written."

HOLYOKE & NORTHAMPTON — Awards and new members made headlines at two Cooley Dickinson annual meetings held Tuesdays, Oct. 29 and Oct. 17.
More than 150 people attended the 127th Annual Meeting of the Cooley Dickinson Board of Trustees Tuesday, Oct. 29 at the Log Cabin Banquet and Conference Center. The 350-member Auxiliary hosted its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 17 at Cooley Dickinson Hospital.
Craig Melin, Cooley Dickinson president and chief executive officer, received the William E. Dwyer Distinguished Service Awards. The Dwyer award is given each year to outstanding individuals whose service on behalf of Cooley Dickinson exemplifies loyalty, leadership, and dedication to improving the health of our community.
Cooley Dickinson Board Chair Matthew Pitoniak told Cooley Dickinson Annual Meeting attendees, "there are not a lot of board chairs who have the privilege of recognizing a CEO for 25 years of service, as the average tenure of a hospital CEO is around 5 and a half years. Fortunately for Cooley Dickinson and our community, Craig is in his 26th. Our health system is a much different and far better than what he found when he arrived in 1998."
Of Melin, James Donnelly, MD, said Craig effectively led the change for improvement on all fronts. "Cooley Dickinson now stands as the only hospital in Massachusetts to achieve five consecutive years of Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award, putting us in the top 5 percent in the nation for patient safety. And twice I've witnessed Craig chart the course for Cooley Dickinson with two top academic medical centers, first Dartmouth-Hitchcock and this year with Massachusetts General Hospital."
Nominated by her colleagues, Robin Kline, director of volunteer services, received the BECOME award, a recognition that celebrates an employee who models the Cooley Dickinson organizational values. "Robin directs over 300 volunteers and also oversees the activities of the CDH Coffee and Gift Shops. She seems to know, by name, all the volunteers, but if you ask her she will tell you it's the volunteers that make her job easy," said OB Clifford, former Auxiliary President.
As with the BECOME Award, recipients of the inaugural Medical Staff Awards were nominated by their colleagues.
The Medical Staff Clinical Excellence Award is given by the Cooley Dickinson Hospital medical staff to the physician who has achieved significant improvement in clinical outcomes. George Hartnell, FRCP, FRCR, interventional radiologist, has done that by, in the words of one nomination, "improving patients' quality of life and providing medical interventions that are rarely found at community hospitals."
Through his clinical acumen and technical skills, Hartnell has allowed physicians at Cooley Dickinson to achieve significant improvements in clinical outcomes.
Hartnell specializes in the treatment of vascular diseases as well as minimally invasive treatment of cancers of the liver and kidney. He is board certified in diagnostic radiology and holds a certificate of additional qualifications in vascular and interventional radiology. He is also a Fellow of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology and the American College of Cardiology. He joined Cooley Dickinson in 2008.
The Medical Staff gives the Teamwork Award to the physician who demonstrates a highly developed ability to bring teams of clinicians together to improve care. In nominating Dirk Stanley, MD, colleagues pointed out Stanley demonstrates a true commitment to clinical care and information technology. "Such excellence has made it possible for the CDH Medical Staff to embrace 21st century medicine, which includes computerized order entry, medication reconciliation, and also helps doctors feel at ease with today's technology," wrote one nominator.
Stanley is a hospitalist, a physician who takes care of hospitalized patients, and the Chief Medical Informatics Officer. He joined Cooley Dickinson in 2007.
Jay Sprong, MD received the Medical Staff Patient-Centered Care Award. The Medical Staff makes this award to the physician who demonstrates a high level of empathic care and always looks to the patient's values to guide decisions.

Hello all, Completely new to manga, just purchased my first piece of manga Battle Royale vol 1. Also bought the novel, please make some recomendations for any disturbing, violent, adult themed manga. I am considering giving Death Note a read next. Thoughts?
Since you have a Lupin the 3rd picture, try reading that. Bleach is pretty good. Uh...Case Closed. If you are into ADULT THEMED meaning >.< sex, then there is some manga like that. Go for Ai Yori Aoshi. It's...not really sex themed, but it has its moments. King of Hell is pretty cool. I like Nightmare Inspector too. Then there is some Vampire stuff you might like. Vampire Hunter D and things like that. Also, if you like Bleach, then check that out too. I hope my little list of stuff helps. :D "You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever! "
When I say ADULT THEMED I am NOT referring to sex. I just don't want to read something geared to kids.
you might want to gave ninija girls a look and vampire-knight and try gun as well i know of a few more but wen i rember them i will wright them down and put them in here for you .
Night Head Genisis is and is actually rated for 16 yrs and up so not geared for kids. I like D. gray-man too, and tokko is not for kids."Long is the way, and hard that out of hell leads to light."
you might give gundam a try as well.
Disturbing, violent, adult themed manga.... Thats gotta be Gantz. People exploding, being eaten, hit by trains. Pretty brutal
you might want to try out vampire knight as well it is very very cool and the story is well done.
but i would go with bleach and naruto and one pieceand ect. but thats just me lol
black cat is also a good one to try out as well
Depends what you like I guess, Bleach is awesome, Hellsing is good if you like vamps (this one is nice and violent lots of blood and general violence) so is Vampire Knight (not so violent but good story) and Trinity Blood is good (action, violence etc), Death Note is nothing short of amazing READ THEM (but it is more plot and such over action) lol. Um S.cry.ed was good violent and at times very active, but really good, I was kinda sad it ended so soon. xXxholic seems good but i've only read the first one so far so, (and no the xXx does not stand for sex) Crimson Hero was good too if your into volley ball or sports with a little romance involved. Anyway good luck, have fun! I must admit though that most manga I've run into may have all ages appropriate stuff in it I don't think you'll end up finding much that is "childish" I mean most anime and manga is aimed at teens and up so. omg so long Sorry lol!!Love... is just a different kind of pain.
Beserk, Black Lagoon, Monster, MPD Psycho, Hellsing.
I'd try Descendants of Darkness. It's got humor and action and other great things.
elfen lied and neon genesis evangelion are also psychologically oriented and include some graphic scenes.
jack frost
I have only seen it mentioned once on this form, but Berserk is the most violent adult-themed manga that I have seen as of yet.
Try Monster. Descendants of Darkness is good too. By the way does anyone know where Descendants of Darkness manga can be read online?
you should check out decendents of darkness death note you should definatly check out super good shows (:
lily <3's anime
< =D =) =. :D :) :. =P =f =B =b =O =X XD >D 8D 8) =5 =E =H :P :B X) >) 0) -) -D 0D o_O >
~(~ The True User Of Mangekyō Sharingan 12,000 points ~)~
Ok. Yep, death note would be an awesome read. Bleach maybe? Both really good. Don't know many manga's actually.

My Company would like to recommend reading School Rumble. As a individual it takes time to understand the full emotion Manga artists put into their work like reason, drive and speciality (themed Manga). Please take that into consideration.

Terror in New York
By Nancy L. Kackley, Martinsburg
I hear the blast, and huge fire ball, fallen glass, concrete and all.
I see the smoke so gray and black, blinding, covering everything in sight.
The buildings collapse, and I scream in fear, for I know my friends are still in there.
Here comes the firemen, the police and mankind, to help each other
in a terrorized town.
People are screaming, and running in fear, for the forces of evil have
just been here.
It is sickening sad, and horrifying to see, the ruble, and dark holes
where two tall buildings used to be.
I see a man covered in soot, barely able to breathe or walk. He wipes
His eyes, and stops and stares, and wonders just what happened here.
I cry and fall to my knees and pray to God for those in need.
Some will survive, and some will die, but they are all heroes in my eyes.
Young and Dumb
By Joan E. Dillard
I sit here on my porch and swing
This thought of mine a peculiar thing
It really makes me feel quite sad
And if I let it makes me mad.
How much better our life would be
Wise and smart from the start were we
Young and dumb an impossibility
Just makes more sense that way to me.
Good advice will go unheeded
Too dumb to know it's needed
Each one doing their particular thing
Down the road to feel the sting.
A lifetime spent before we learn
Each generation taking its turn
Spending their young life making mistakes
Must be a better way for goodness sakes
Oh well that's life we say
And it's bound to stay this way
I am wise so I've been told
Wise is wasted on the old.
Young and dumb, young and dumb
Well what can I say
Young and dumb, young and dumb
I was born that way.
Ode to my Guinea Pig
By Andi Veltri (12 years old)
I saw you in the store one day,
you were so cute while eating your hay!
I knew right away that you were the one,
the day I saw what you had done.
You looked at me and I looked at you,
I think you knew that I was the one too.
You came from a home that was a terrible place,
I can just imagine - what a disgrace!
Your cage was so dirty; patches of fur you were missing,
but despite your hard times, your eyes still were glistening.
The food the you eat (you really can't beat),
looks yuck to me but it must be a treat.
That five-pound bag of food I bought,
it weighed a ton and cost a lot!
Is it really worth me buying this, am I
taking a really big risk?
But I love my pet, and that is true,
do I really want him to be blue?
Of course I don't! That would break my heart too!
You are so cute and I can't resist, oh just how
could you be missed?!
The cutest thing I've ever seen lives in my house
next to the TV screen.
I love you so much I just can't stop,
you're the most precious thing I've ever got.
Mary had a Little Lamb
By Pastor Ron Payne
Mary had a little Lamb His fleece was white as snow,
Everywhere that Mary went the Lamb was sure to go.
Yes, Mary had a little Lamb born 2,000 years ago,
Born in a stable in Bethlehem for all the world to know.
Yes, Mary had a little Lamb, Jesus Christ the King,
Announced by the angel and good tidings He did bring.
The shepherds found this Lamb in the town of Bethlehem,
As was foretold to them according to God's holy plan.
Mary did have a little Lamb, the Christ of Calvary,
He died to redeem our sins and from sin He set us free.
He led a perfect life, the God incarnate is our Lord,
You can read about Him in God's most Holy Word.
Yes, Mary had a little Lamb and His fleece was white as snow,
And He died to on the cross on day some 2,000 years ago.
This is the Lamb of God whom the prophets had foretold,
He has brought to us salvation more precious than silver or gold.
Every year we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ the King,
At Christmastime, we ring the bells and the carols we all sing.
Yes, we adore the Lamb born in the city of Bethlehem,
For He is the reason we celebrate Christmas and not for mortal man.
Do You know this Baby, the Christ of Calvary,
Who came in the form of man to suffer and die for you and me?
Second Adam, in the flesh a man perfect like our God,
Walked the roads of his day and ministered on earth's sod.
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace is He,
Are just a few names to Jesus the the Christ of Calvary.
We celebrate each Christmas day the great coming of our King,
Yes, Mary, had a little Lamb and salvation He did bring.
70 times seven
By Charles E. Gower
Many are the sins of people
Who live with each other.
That's why God said, Seventy-times
Seven you must forgive one another.
Yes, so easy to see the sins and faults
Of each other
Even a prophet, has little honor
Among those who knows his
Father and mother
That's another reason its seventy-times-seven to forgive each other.
Ready to forgive, Ready to forgive
The challenge will come often
Rather than seldom.
Then you'll understand why
It's seventy-times-seven
We are to forgive one another.
The capacity to forgive must be strong
Towards each other
You might even have to bite the
Bullet and endure the pain
In your forgiving of one another
That's another reason to forgive
Seventy-times-seven of one another.
Seventy-times-seven in forgiving
One another? Wow! That's a lot.
I don't know about that endeavor
It sounds like forever, exactly
Right, God wants us to forgive
Each other forever and forever!
Now, if you need more grace
In this endeavor - ask God,
He will provide sufficient grace
Forever and forever!
A Star Fell in my Meadow
By B. Susan Guay
A winter star slipped from its hook and fell into my pasture brook.
It shattered into jagged shards
On rippled black ice, frozen hard
By deep December's frigid moon.
Each silver splinter held the light and glittered back into the night.
The pond, ashine with winter moons,
Glistened, glowing bright as noon,
Shining sharply with no warmth;
December is a brittle month.
But if that star dropped in mid-May, a drop spilled from the Milky Way,
I could catch it in my hand
So softly would it float and land.
As soft as faeries' milkweed gowns, as love's first kiss, as thistledown.
A winking emerald fire-fly
If stars fell to my field in May.
Christmas Has Passed
By Barbara L. Epperson
Virgin Mary marvelled at Jesus' birth,
But He was born to die when He came to earth.
Years later she's there when He's sentenced to die -
Not my precious son was her broken cry!
She wanted to remove that thorny crown,
Before the weight of the cross took Him down.
She choked back screams as He tripped and stumbled
And shivered with shame to see Him humbled.
She wanted to clutch Him close as He bled,
But moaned as His body was tortured instead.
Tears flowed as the feet that walked Israel's land
Were pierced through with spikes by a soldier's hand.
She listened as the nails were hammered deep -
Heard the crowds cheer and others weep.
She sobbed as His life flowed red to the ground.
In midday she watched as night gathered round.
She heard the whisper as He drew His last breath.
Her eyes closed in grief as His closed in death.
But this is not the end of this blessed story.
His Mother beheld Him in His God-given glory.
In three days He rose triumphant from the grave.
He had redeemed mankind by the life He gave.
His birth led to death, and that's the reason
We have celebrated this Holy Season.
Though Christmas has passed for one more year,
We must never forget why Jesus was here.

on February 3, 2013 - 1:00 AM
, updated February 3, 2013 at 8:36 AM
With the completion of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, there has been a lot of talk about holidays around our house. Holidays in general were a popular topic in conversations with my 5-year-old son. One day we were discussing what holiday comes after New Year's. You might say Valentine's Day, but he said the Super Bowl. This especially warms my heart because I began planting this idea in his head last year.
Before you roll your eyes at this suggestion, let us think about it. I realize that the Super Bowl has lost its luster since the Bills haven't been in it, but if you consider some core similarities, the idea might become more credible.
I begin with a couple of subtle similarities between Super Bowl Sunday and the traditional holidays. Start by looking at ads in the paper or listening to television commercials. In the weeks prior to the Super Bowl, stores run specials on frozen pizzas, chips and chili fixings. This is not unlike the specials that are run for turkey, ham and cranberry sauce. Post-New Year's ads contain deals on storage containers, exercise equipment and tax preparation programs.
There are a couple of holidays that share traditions that revolve around clothes. A highlight of Easter is the purchase of the Easter outfit. Little girls parade around in their dresses with matching shoes, and little boys with their shirts and ties.
In our house, a tradition of Christmas is that we all go out and buy new pajamas. Who can forget buying our new playoff Bills T-shirt or sweatshirt? Along with our pair of Zubaz, this would be our Super Bowl outfit.
A friend once told me that the best holiday was Halloween. I remember his rationale included the fact that there is "no church and you get candy." I quickly subscribed to this theory and applied it to Super Bowl Sunday. It certainly is less stressful than many holidays. There is no huge holiday meal to plan and prepare. Dinner is simple; you order from your favorite pizzeria and supplement with beer, chips or anything that contains cheese or bacon. Since the Super Bowl is on a Sunday, church might already be part of your day. There is no need to worry about attending an extra service.
Finally, there is no need to wrack your brain trying to figure out what to buy everybody as a Super Bowl present. The most stressful thing about Super Bowl Sunday is keeping track of your squares.
My last reasons to consider Super Bowl Sunday as a holiday revolve around Christmas. The first can best be described in the form of a question. If you were there for any of the four Buffalo Super Bowls, what similarities did they have with Christmas? There was a good chance somebody was crying or disappointed.
The second is my favorite, and the reason that I hope the Bills can turn the team around and get back to the playoffs next season. Everybody has heard the term "Christmas spirit." I believe that there is a "Super Bowl spirit." Monday mornings are much more pleasant after a Bills win.
There was an aura of happiness surrounding Super Bowl Sunday. I can remember being in a local restaurant during the Bills Super Bowl run and the popular farewell amongst strangers was, "Go Bills."
Therefore, if holidays are occasions that bring us joy and happiness, shouldn't that definition include Super Bowl Sunday?

SHEPHERDSTOWN - The Carper Family will bring their "retro-acoustic" sound to the Shepherdstown Opera House on Friday.
The trio is comprised of Melissa "Daddy" Carper on upright bass, Beth Chrisman on the fiddle and Jenn Miori on guitar. All three women also sing, solo and together, inspiring one reviewer to compare their harmonies to the Andrews Sisters. They can also play their instruments - producing engaging music that combines elements of country, bluegrass and western swing. Some call it "roots country."
The Carper Family was formed three and a half years ago in Austin, Texas, a town that calls itself "The Live Music Capitol of the World," and continues to be based there.

The 'retro-acoustic' Carper Family will play at the Sheperdstown Opera House Friday.
"We got to know each other at pickin' parties," said Chrisman, on the phone between performances in New Hampshire.
Pickin' parties are jam sessions where musicians get together and someone's house and play music together.
"I met Melissa on the front porch and Jenn on the back porch," she added with a laugh.
While not related by blood, they wanted their group to have that feel to it. Each member of the group was already established on the Austin music scene. When they came together they decided on the name The Carper Family, in deference to Melissa "Daddy" Carper. But as Chrisman notes, the name rhymes with Carter Family. And while one can easily see the influences, The Carper Family has definitely put its own stamp on the music. They've put a modern face on a venerable tradition.
The trio spent a couple of years playing locally in Austin, landing a weekly spot at the legendary venue the Hole in the Wall; getting their act together before taking it on the road.
"Touring is relatively new for us," Chrisman said, "but we've put a lot of miles on our Dodge Caravan recently."
Indeed they have.
In the week prior to their performance in Shepherdstown, playing dates will include stops in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York City and Washington, D.C.
Their current CD is called "Old Fashioned Gal," and the lyric of the title track says "she digs for ramps in the West Virginia woods." The song is written by Carper and draws upon her experiences having spent a summer living in the West Virginia woods near Lewisburg.
The CD is a followup to their debut effort, "Back When," which was named Best Country Album at the 2012 Independent Music Awards.
Their recordings, like their live performances, include a healthy mixture of covers and original songs. The music is all acoustic, there are no special effects. It is "roots country" that honors where it comes from. The harmonies are irresistible and the musicianship is impeccable.
The performance is at the Shepherdstown Opera House Friday at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit www.operahouselive.com.

Refunds, tax filing delayed for many

The Palmetto Christian Academy Eagles erased a 10-point halftime deficit to pull out a 60-58 win over the Faith Christian Knights Monday in Mount Pleasant.
Trailing 28-18 at halftime, Palmetto Christian (2-2) limited Faith Christian to just eight points in the third quarter as Knights star Theron Reddy sat with foul trouble. Reddy finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds and six steals and kept Faith Christian close through the fourth quarter but couldn't close the gap as Palmetto Christian held a five-point lead in the final seconds before a Knights three at the buzzer.
"We started out really slow, kind of lackadaisical, missing a bunch of shots," Palmetto Christian head coach Brian Stanley said. "I challenged our guys at halftime to crank up the intensity and they came out ready to play.
"It was good to see them grind out a win. You have to be able to do that throughout the season."
J.T. Waters and Will Tuchfarber returned from North-South All-Star football weekend Monday to combine for 22 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals. Mitch Hogan added nine points, six rebounds and a steal. The Eagles received 18 points from the bench, including a 13-point effort from Sam Iriart who knocked down 4-of-5 threes.
"Sam was crucial because there's no big drop off when he comes in the game," Stanley said. "With the minutes he's played lately, his confidence is up and he's playing at a really high level.
"We've started out strong before but this was a whole different challenge for our team. Stop after stop, our defense led to our offense."
Palmetto Christian travels to Daniel Island Tuesday to face Bishop England at 7:30 p.m.
Lady Eagles win big
The Palmetto Christian Lady Eagles snapped a two-game losing streak with a 46-18 rout of Faith Christian Monday.
Eagles forward Annie Pascutti led all scorers with 17 points, to go with 10 rebounds and seven steals. Parker Emerson added eight points, five rebounds and two steals, and Lizzie Wilson turned in seven points, five rebounds and two steals.
Palmetto Christian (2-2) exploded out of the gate in the opening quarter, outscoring Faith Christian 24-5. The Lady Eagles allowed just two points in the second quarter to hold a 19-point lead at the break.
Palmetto Christian and Bishop England tip off Tuesday at 6 p.m. on Daniel Island.

Golden Guernsey bankruptcy hearing scheduled for today
UPDATED 6:04 AM CDT Mar 22, 2013
A bankruptcy court hearing today could determine whether Waukesha's closed Golden Gurensey dairy is sold.
More than 100 people lost their jobs when the dairy abruptly closed in January. Some workers hope to get their jobs back if the dairy is sold and reopened.
The parent company of Superior Dairy in Ohio says it wants to buy Golden Guernsey. It is asking a federal bankruptcy court to open the bidding process.
One of the creditors, Accord Financial, says it will support the sale. But that support depends on what happens to nearly $8 million it is owed.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Someone who is so fat that it is physically impossible for them to reach their arse for the purposes of wiping up after a dump. Their arms just aren't long enough to reach around, across, under or through the mounds of lard.
Their arms typically bounce up and down on the mounds of lard as they waddle along.

State Sen. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, was re-elected to her third term just last week, but already there is attention turning toward her as she considers a run for Congress.
Doing nothing to swat the rumors, Carson said in an interview that it is something she is considering, but she will not make up her mind until mid-Summer.
"Right now I am focused on my job in the Senate and working on the budget," Carson said. "After the budget is over, I will take a look at it and make a decision."
Carson wouldn't have even been an option just a week ago when many thought current Republican U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta would win a narrow re-election. But Guinta lost. Now he faces the choice either running for his old seat again -- possibly against Carson -- or for the U.S. Senate or even Governor.
The idea of Carson as a political rising star in the Republican Party makes sense. She is a woman, a veteran, and a professor. She has held office since 2004 and has never lost. She has also taken more moderate stances in in the legislature. Still she has voted against abortion rights, and against participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiatives, both items will help her in a primary, even if she has voted against Right to Work legislation.
At a time when many in the Republican Party are looking for more female leaders Carson should be a good option. Still, if Guinta wants his old seat back he would be a huge front-runner given his name identification, his political connections all over the state and his ability to raise money.

Stetson University's Mallory Viera had a great day on Monday at the 84th Florida Women's Amateur Match Play Championship at the Vero Beach Country Club.
Viera, who will be a senior at Stetson this fall, posted a victory over Brandi Rodriguez of Orlando in the round of 32, winning on the 20th hole. Rodriguez will be a senior this season at Southern Miss.
She followed that victory with a decisive 4 & 3 win over Anna Hancock of Lakeland. Hancock is a former player at Stetson who now plays at South Florida.
Viera, who is the sixth seeded player in the tournament, will face third seeded Katie Mitchell in the quarterfinal round on Tuesday. Mitchell, a native of Fernadina Beach, will be a junior at this fall at the University of Florida, where she sat out this year as a transfer after winning Conference USA Freshman of the Year honors at UCF in 2011-12.
Mitchell and Viera are the only two current collegiate players left in the field. The other six players are either still in high school, or will be college freshmen this coming season.
The winner of the Viera-Mitchell match will face the winner of the match between second seeded Dylan Kim and 23rd seed Kristine Odaiyar. That match is scheduled to start at 12:38 p.m. on Tuesday.
The championship of the event will be determined on Wednesday morning with play starting at 8 a.m.

Foxx on Fiscal Cliff; Votes 'No'
Written by Steve Frank
Wednesday, 02 January 2013 08:42
While it appears congress has turned just before falling off the fiscal cliff, the fight will continue, starting with the war of words. 5th District Congresswoman Virginia Foxx said, in part; "Rather than fixating on Clinton-era tax rates, the President and Senate Democrats would better serve the country working to shrink the federal government to a Clinton-era size. America's catastrophic national debt demands it. The debt clock is ticking."
With a North Carolina connection, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, through their roles as co-founders of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, said "The deal approved today is truly a missed opportunity to do something big to reduce our long term fiscal problems, but it is a small step forward in our efforts to reduce the federal deficit. It follows on the $1 trillion reduction in spending that was done in last year's Budget Control Act. While both steps advance the efforts to put our fiscal house in order, neither one nor the combination of the two come close to solving our Nation's debt and deficit problems. Our leaders must now have the courage to reform our tax code and entitlement programs such that we stabilize our debt and put it on a downward path as a percent of the economy.
In fact Washington politicians set it up to force themselves to seriously deal with our Nation's long term fiscal problems. Yet even after taking the Country to the brink of economic disaster, Washington still could not forge a common sense bipartisan consensus on a plan that stabilizes the debt.
It is now more critical than ever that policymakers return to negotiations that will build on the terms of this agreement and the spending cuts in the Budget Control Act. These future negotiations will need to make the far more difficult reforms that bring spending further under control, make our entitlement programs sustainable and solvent, and reform our tax code to both promote growth and produce revenue. We take some encouragement from the statements by the President and leaders in Congress that they recognize more work needs to be done. In order to reach an agreement, it will be absolutely necessary for both sides to move beyond their comfort zone and reach a principled agreement on a comprehensive plan which puts the debt on a clear downward path relative to the economy."
Speaking of Virginia Foxx, today is the last day she will represent Stokes, Surry and Rockingham counties, as tomorrow, they become part of the 6th congressional district.

To ingest both ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. Candy flipping is mixing LSD and ecstasy. Although some might think hippie flipping is combining LSD and mushrooms, this is incorrect. There might be some areas where people define it this way, but the VAST majority of people define hippie flipping as combining ecstasy and mushrooms. It's drug slang, so majority rules. Google it and you will find this to be 100% true. Trust Erowid, Shroomery, BlueLight, Mycotopia, etc over one person on Urban Dictionary.
Did you guys hippie flip last night?
We made shroom tea and followed it by plugging a liquid solution of two e pills. I've never laughed so hard in my entire life.

Table for Two: The Millionaire Matchmaker Picks the Best Date Restaurants
Chocolate and wine is a natural pairing, so it's no surprise that some savvy winemaker and food-lover would think to put them together in one bottle. Chocolate Shop's Sparkling Chocolate Red Wine is a sweet and delicate creation, combining a lightly fizzy red wine with rich chocolate flavor. The staff recommends you serve it chilled, just as you would any other sparkling wine. If you prefer your wine without bubbles, the company also offers a selection of still beverages, like Chocolate Red Wine, Chocolate Strawberry Wine, and Chocolate Mint Wine.
Chocolate and cheese might, at first, sound like an unusual (and unappetizing) combo, but this chocolate-and-cheese confection, produced at the Michigan State University Dairy Store since the 1960s, clearly has some staying power. The crew at MSU combines mild cheddar with cocoa, sugar, and other ingredients (including chopped peanuts) to create this truly unique concoction. At only $6.55 per pound, it's an affordable treat, and its dense, fudgy texture and savory-sweet flavor is like nothing else you'll find this Valentine's Day.

PETERSBURG, Ky. - A brand-new museum plans to take old-time religion to new scientific heights. The Creation Museum's goal is nothing less than proving that everything the Bible says about creation, the flood and the universe is literally true.
Click play to watch an interview with Ken Ham, the president of Answers in Genesis and director of the Creation Museum, following this report.
The museum is located in Petersburg, Kentucky, just two exits away from the Cincinnati Ohio airport. It is celebrating its grand opening Monday as the nation observes Memorial Day.
The $27 million museum plans to put you into Noah's Flood. Zip you all around the universe. Get you just inches away from roaring dinosaurs.
All to prove that the Bible's scientific claims are 100- percent true.
Ken Ham is the museum's founder and the director of Answers in Genesis." "We're using really good research from Ph.D. scientists on staff and those who are associated with us to give scientific evidence in biology, geology, astronomy and anthropology to confirm the Bible's history and to show people that evolution is not fact," Ham told CBN News.
Animatronic dinosaurs are crawling all over the place. The museum's displays portray these large reptiles living right alongside ancient humans.
"As people enter the main hall for the Creation Museum, one of the first things they are struck by is the fact that we have dinosaurs and people together," said Mark Looy, Creation Museum co-founder.
Some scientists say the Creation Museum has it all wrong. Ohio State University anthropologist Jeffrey McKee has worked up close with fossils and written books on evolution.
"They can believe whatever they want to believe about when dinosaurs were created and when humans were created," McKee said. "The fact is that dinosaurs went extinct long before humans were around."
The Creation Museum, however, contends dinosaurs and humans co-existed and not all that long ago.
"We believe they existed in our modern world, which is where our dragon legends come from," Ham explained. "And there's evidence such as red blood cells and preserved tissue in dinosaur bones that even evolutionists are shocked by, because they say 'how could they last millions of years?' Well, they wouldn't," he continued. "The evidence that we find actually confirms the Bible's history. It does not confirm evolutionary history of millions of years."
Ham thinks Noah even managed to fit dinosaurs into his ark.
"Most dinosaurs were small," Ham said. "The average size was only the size of a sheep. Only a few were large and even the large ones hatched out of small eggs and young adults would not have been that big."
The museum aims to be fun as well as factual, using the same technology employed by the finest amusement parks. The museum's theater is hit by Noah's Flood several times a day.
"When the Flood comes and you see that on the screen, you suddenly get spurts of water in your face and vibrations in the seats," Ham explained. "Kids are going to love that, moms and dads are going to love that."
There is also a state-of-the-art planetarium.
"You go into outer space and you can land on the moon and land on planets, fly around planets, go into the outer reaches of space," Ham said. "When people watch the program there that we've put together, they're just going to declare that the heavens declare the glory of God."
Ham points out the latest Gallup poll shows 48 percent of Americans believe God created the world. So it's about time Creationists get their own museum in a world where most scientists and schools, most of the media and museums, treat evolution like accepted fact.
"Students are not being given the information that critiques evolution," he told CBN News. "They are not told about the difficulties with evolution and millions of years. They are not being given scientific evidence to actually support the Bible's account of history, so that's why we built the Creation Museum."
Ham says the museum is going to be a rallying point for Christians to say "you see, the Bible is true and we can show the world it is.'"

PagePress App becoming the must have WordPress To Facebook App heading into 2012.
There is a new app in town that enables its users to connect their Facebook fanpage with their WordPress blog. The internet savvy entrepreneur knows how to utilize the potential of a Facebook fanpage for their business or branding. Coupled with a blog, it makes a potent combination to make your presence felt online. But exactly how powerful is this new app and what does it do?
People set up a fanpage on Facebook for various reasons. But it doesn't serve any purpose if they don't communicate with their fans – the people who join their fanpage. They might make the occasional announcement or share updates but other than that, a majority of fanpages on Facebook are basically dormant.
That's a sad wastage, especially when the number of Facebook users number by the millions. A lot of people basically "Like" a fanpage and forget about it and these fanpages don't help themselves either because they don't connect with their fans. As mentioned before, a great way to connect with fans is by sharing content, whether it's an announcement of an upcoming event, new developments, jokes or useful information, just to let the fans know that you're still there. One way to share useful content and at the same time, inject your personality in it is to share your WordPress blog posts.
That's where PagePressApp comes in. It connects your WordPress blog with your Facebook fanpage so that you don't have to manually do it each time. There are a lot of apps out there that allow users to share content on their wall but apps that works for a Facebook fanpage are hard to come by. For the purpose of a review, I got myself a copy. It's free anyway so what do I have to lose, right? Not exactly a traditional wordpress facebook plugin, PagePress auto connects to your facebook pages.
We've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it works great for my fanpage. This is basically a set and forget type of app. The set up part is relatively easy and involves just a few mouse clicks. That's the first thing I liked about it. There are no complicated configurations in the setup process and things are very much self explanatory. If however you do find yourself not being able to figure out the simple setup process, they have a video tutorial to guide you through it. This tool may be the best Facebook connect WordPress idea heading into 2012.
Then there is that SSL certification thing. Ever since Facebook started its mandatory SSL requirements for third party apps, I've had to find a replacement for some of the existing apps I've been happily using all this while. I'm happy to say that PagePressApp is SSL certified.
The other thing I like is that it syndicates my blog posts on two different locations on my fanpage. The first is my wall which will also make it visible to my fans' new feeds. Then there is also a separate tab on my fanpage for my blog. This is where users can see a list of my blog posts without all the other things on my wall which can get really busy sometimes. It's basically an archive of all the blog posts that have been syndicated on my fanpage wall. From there, it's killer how you can connect facebook, connect wordpress and not disturb the communication flow.
Now I can share useful content and connect with my fans with just a one time effort. I don't even have to log into my Facebook account to do it. The app automates the entire process for me.
However, this app only works if your blog is running on a WordPress platform. You won't be able to use it if you use say, blogger.com for your blog. This is because WordPress is currently the most widely used blogging platform due to its ease of customization and the wide varieties of plugins that are created for it.

The score may look like Dayspring Christian got a dominant football win, but coach Mick Holmes knows his team can do better.
The Eagles dominated the first half of the Class 1A 8-man State Football Championships first round game and rode their lead to a 47-8 victory against Fowler on Saturday.
Dayspring will advance to the state quarterfinals next week, traveling to Sargent for a game at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Dayspring (10-0), the No. 2 seed, looked like a state contender in the first half with a complete performance on both sides of the ball. "We had played lights out first half, especially offensively," Holmes said. "I thought we were clicking on all cylinders. Kylar (Mai) was throwing the ball well and we were running the ball and blocking well."
Mai was 10 of 12 in the first half for 141 yards, scoring two passing touchdowns and three rushing TDs. Senior running back Ty Eichman was on the receiving end with 131 yards on nine catches and a touchdown. He also carried the ball three times for 83 yards and another TD, all in the first half.
"We work on (passing) a lot during practice and if we need to bring it out, then we do," Mai said. "Today it was just clicking for us so coach (Holmes) just kept calling the plays. And the line was giving me a lot of time."
Mai and Eichman also broke out long touchdown runs, with Eichman running 65 yards for Dayspring's first score and Mai sprinting 58 yards in the second quarter.
The defense held Fowler (5-5), seeded 15th, to just 21 rushing yards and 20 passing yards and forced a sack and an interception in the first quarter. However, the Grizzlies got their run game going in the second quarter and the Eagles' defense got a little too comfortable with its lead.
Fowler, down 34-0, achieved a 12-play, 80-yard drive in the second and scored its only touchdown of the game along with a two-point conversion.
"In the first half, that one long drive we didn't play very well," Holmes said. "We were playing vanilla defense. When a team starts marching on us, we get a little more aggressive and we were in pretty much vanilla the whole time 'cause we thought they were gonna pass and they didn't and ran the ball down our throats."
In the second half, Fowler was kept out of the end zone, but so was Dayspring. The Eagles scored only one more TD in the rest of the game, adding just 23 rushing yards and 60 passing yards in the second half.
However, Dayspring hurt itself by wiping out two touchdowns due to holding calls, one in each half.
The Grizzlies didn't do anything in the third quarter but ran 23 rushing plays in the fourth for 77 yards. Fowler ended the day with 17 first downs compared to Dayspring's 12.
"We just kinda ran out of gas and I'm not gonna blame it on the kids," Holmes said, "but when you're up like that, sometimes it's easy to drop your dauber and go through the motions."
The defense continued to make big plays though, recording two more sacks, another interception and recovered a fumble.
"I think we have probably the best defense in the state," Eichman said. "We've got great coaches and great players and we just execute and our line does great firing off the ball and getting sacks. Just a great team."
The Eagles are focusing on Sargent now, a team they played on Sept. 13. Dayspring had a pretty good game, winning 52-0.
But Holmes said he wasn't excited with how the Eagles played in the second half against Fowler and he told them that. He said the game against Sargent will be interesting.
"Championship teams don't play like that and I reminded them of that, that it's all about playing hard for the whole 48 minutes," he said. "When you're in the playoffs, there are no poor teams so you gotta be consistent. We harp on that all the time about being consistent in practice, being consistent every play every day."
Eichman said he thinks Dayspring set the tone in this playoff game and doesn't seem worried about the Eagles' next challenge.
"We had a great week of practice and I know that the seniors are gonna keep it firing up on Monday and we're gonna keep up the intensity level," he said. "And Saturday we're gonna come out and do the same as we did today."

A planned elementary school near the Tanner, Foster Creek area of Hanahan is on hold after the city has not rezoned the 12 acres set aside for it and the developer has not renewed its land purchase contract with the school district.
The district released a statement May 13 saying the City of Hanahans unwillingness to rezone the tract, known as the Bowen tract, has indefinitely delayed the scheduled August 2015 opening of the school.
In the statement, the district said it would continue to pursue all other nearby locations based on the continued overcrowding conditions at Hanahan Elementary School and Goose Creek Primary School.

See Tuck come into life when you add a foam shell, a pom-pom, googly eyes, and a felt hat to a green egg.
Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
From the green self-adhesive foam, cut out a large oval, about 4 inches long and about 3 inches wide. Remove the paper backing and secure it to the long side of the egg.
Have kids press two wiggly eyes onto the green pom-pom. Then they can glue the green pom-pom to the top of the egg, just below the shell.
From the blue felt, cut a 3/4-inch circle. From the white felt, cut a slightly smaller circle. Glue the white circle on top of the blue circle. Then glue the red pom-pom to the white circle. Once dry, glue the hat on the Tuck's head.
As the hat dries, cut a strip about 1/2 inch wide by 7 inches long from the green foam or construction paper. Curve it to form an oval-shaped loop, overlapping the ends and stapling or gluing them in place. Place Tuck inside the oval base.
