As topic says, how?
As topic says, how?
A custom 'what'? Resource? Unit?
And what do you mean by 'for each'? Do you need to use a loop?
It's hard to help you out without more info ;)
Current Project:
Blitz Fire (WIP)
Review Thread:
Trieve's Test Fest
you type 'for each' in triggers search bar and there's entire list.
Iterate through the collection (and i don't mean array)
Main issue is how to build it, like what's the template because in "Bult-in" lib 'for each' are blank so you can't really see the body
I'm guessing he can't get the "Actions" part to show up beneath it as it does with all other loops. Only recommendation I have is to look at the Galaxy code for the default loops and see if there's anything in there that would make an action definition work that way. I'll ask Küken whether he knows anything about this once I see him on skype.
- You have to create a new action and select the options "loop" and "subfunctions".
- Add a "g" parameter to your action of type "xgroup". "xgroup" can be a group of players, a group of units, whatever group of things you want.
- Add a "var" parameter to your action of type "x". For a group of players this would be the player id, for a group of units this would be the picked unit.
- Add a new subfunction of type actions.
- Then, under the custom script code field, write the following code:
#AUTOVAR(g, xgroup) = #PARAM(g); #AUTOVAR(i) = 1; while (#AUTOVAR(i) <= PlayerGroupCount(#AUTOVAR(g))) { #PARAM(var) = xGroupx(#AUTOVAR(g), #AUTOVAR(i)); #SUBFUNCS(actions) if (#PARAM(var) == xGroupx(#AUTOVAR(g), #AUTOVAR(i))) { #AUTOVAR(i) = #AUTOVAR(i) + 1; } }
Note that you have to replace the xGroupx function calls inside this code to whatever function you need. This would be a playerGroupPlayer function call if you were using a player group, or a unitGroupUnit function call for an unit group.
So, as an example, if you want to create a ForEachPlayerInGroup loop, you will have the following action declaration:
ForEachPlayerInGroup Opciones: Acción, Subfunciones, Bucle Tipo de retorno: void Parámetros var <Cualquier variable - int> group = (PlayerGroupAll()) <playergroup> Texto gramatical: Para cada ~var|jugador~ jugador en ~group~ hacer (acciones) Pista: Ejecuta un bucle utilizando un valor entero. Esto ejecutará el conjunto de acciones incluido bajo la acción "Para cada jugador en un grupo" para cada jugador en el grupo jugador especificado. Por... Código de script personalizado Tipos de subfunción actions
And the following code under the custom script code field:
#AUTOVAR(g, playergroup) = #PARAM(group); #AUTOVAR(p) = 1; while (#AUTOVAR(p) <= PlayerGroupCount(#AUTOVAR(g))) { #PARAM(var) = PlayerGroupPlayer(#AUTOVAR(g), #AUTOVAR(p)); #SUBFUNCS(actions) if (#PARAM(var) == PlayerGroupPlayer(#AUTOVAR(g), #AUTOVAR(p))) { #AUTOVAR(p) = #AUTOVAR(p) + 1; } }
- - - - - - - -
As a side note, these kind of actions are very useful. I use them to embed custom galaxy code inside my triggers, and to declare array sizes based on constant variables.
Play CoreFight - Play CoreFight - Play CoreFight - Play CoreFight - Play CoreFight
That's the first time I've ever seen the # key being used in custom script. What does it do? Is it like the define statement in normal C?
Sorry bout the off topic post =/

@TheAlmaity: Go exactly, i mean the have part with having it as workable GUI part with actions section. In galaxy they are while's but that's the mentioned easy part :p
@IliIilI: Go Wow thanks :) That's... i would never figure this out. So it seems those are snippets and not an actual functions
This key is only read by the the trigger editor when it translates triggers into galaxy code.
#AUTOVAR(var, type) = value;
will result into a new variable definition inside the function.
will add the subfunctions defined in the action trigger.
will result into lp_var when translated to the galaxy code.
Got it. yea! :)
#AUTOVAR(workS,string) = #PARAM(inString); while(((StringContains(#AUTOVAR(workS),#PARAM(startingWith),2, true) == true) && (StringContains(#AUTOVAR(workS),#PARAM(endingWith),2, true) == true))) { #PARAM(part) = StringReplace(#AUTOVAR(workS),"",0,StringFind(#AUTOVAR(workS), #PARAM(startingWith), true)); #PARAM(part) = StringReplace(#PARAM(part),"",StringFind(#PARAM(part), #PARAM(endingWith), true),StringLength(#PARAM(part))); #AUTOVAR(workS) = StringReplaceWord(#AUTOVAR(workS),#PARAM(startingWith)+#PARAM(part)+#PARAM(endingWith),"",1,true); #SUBFUNCS(actions) }

Comments about Learning Resources Hundred Activity Mat:
The plastic used is so thin that it's not fit for purpose! One of the die was broken on receiving it and I still haven't managed to get a replacement as of yet. The 2 nd die lasted about 10 minutes of gentle play.My other issue was that I was hoping to teach my younger son numbers with this but you don't get a die with 7 , 8 or 9 on it so you can only teach up to 60
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
My 3 year old loves to walk all over and find the numbers. I have two small issues, as a licensed teacher. First, the tens (10, 20, 30, etc.) are at the end of the row instead of the beginning. So, it is not as convenient to teach the patterns associated with those numbers and the rows that they are in. Second, the blow up dice each only are 1 to 6. So, if you are wanting to roll numbers (like an 8 and a 5 to make 85 for your preschooler to go find and stand on) you can't. You can only roll up to 66 out of the 100. Otherwise, my preschooler is quite engaged with this and loves to get it out and "play" :o) Little does she know she's actually learning! Ha ha ha!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Terror Ties
The Russian government gave a "heads up" to U.S. officials in 2011 about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The Russians warned he could be involved with Chechen terrorist organizations.
Did U.S. terrorism experts fail again to connect the dots?
That should be among the first questions asked by those investigating the killing spree allegedly committed by two brothers who raised suspicions among Russian authorities more than two years ago.
Brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were born in southern Russia but their family came to Massachusetts in 2002. From that time, they lived their lives as average Americans-going to high school, college, getting jobs, etc. Then, for some reason, last Monday, they allegedly detonated bombs at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding about 180 others, many gravely.
On Thursday, they executed an MIT security officer and as police closed in, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a violent shootout. His 19-year-old brother escaped and in one of the biggest manhunts in U.S. history, was captured Friday evening. He is now in a Boston hospital being treated from wounds and, according to news reports, is cooperating with authorities.
The Tsarnaev family is from the Chechen region of Russia, home to one of the most vicious terrorist organizations in the world. Tamerlan Tsarnaev visited there in January 2012.
About a year before that mysterious trip, Russian officials asked the FBI for information on him. U.S. agents interviewed Tsarnaev family members and told the Russians they could find no reason for concern.
Clearly, there was.
Russian authorities must have had some reason for contacting the FBI. They didn't just draw Tsarnaev's name out of a hat. And, possibly, had U.S. officials paid closer attention, they would have seen the ominous Internet posts and links to militant Islamic sites Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been studying since his return to America.
Obviously, the question why FBI officials did not pursue more information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev after their initial interview with him should be high on the agenda of this investigation. If this is another case of a terrorist attack that could have been prevented, Americans need to know that.

Proper Balance in the AL East…
It's funny what a difference a day makes. I took another look at that dog for the blog about yesterday's loss, and miraculously its appearance has changed dramatically…
I will borrow the words of my friend in Boston; the Yankees are back where we belong!
AL East
New York
2 1/2
Tampa Bay
Looks good to me! J The teams should start Tuesday's series with the Yankees either up by a game or the two teams in a deadheat since the Red Sox are off on Monday while the Yanks close out their series with the Rays. Make no mistake, the Yankees-Red Sox series is huge. The Yankees cannot afford to "no show" like they did earlier in the season. With the Mets on the heels of the Red Sox, the next week is going to be very challenging and the team needs to show what it is made of. Plus, the Yankees wouldn't really want to see me in a Jason Bay t-shirt, would they? Let's hope that they put a Mark Teixeira t-shirt on my friend Julia!
Okay, I suppose I should say how we got to this point. Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself…
The Yankees defeated the Tampa Bay Rays today, 4-3, in a comeback win. It wasn't the dramatic 9th inning walk-off variety, but it worked just as well.
The game was rather tight in the early going. I was pleased to see Joba Chamberlain breeze through the first inning with three putouts by Mark Teixeira. B.J. Upton started the scoring with a RBI double in the 3rd, bringing home Reid Brognac. The Yankees countered in the bottom of the inning when Nick Swisher hit the 100th home run at Yankee Stadium this season, a solo shot.
During ESPN's Baseball Tonight show prior to the game, the sportscasters attempted to predict who would hit the 100th home run. Names like Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira were thrown out, but in the end, it was Swish!
The game remained tied at 1 until the 6th inning. With a two-run single by Gabe Gross, the Rays took a 3-1 lead. Joba only had 4 strikeouts on the day, but he registered a huge one when he struck out Dioner Navarro with two outs, and runners at second and third, preventing further damage by the Rays.
In the bottom of the 8th, with both starting pitchers long gone, the Yankees played a game of small ball. After Derek Jeter flied out, Johnny Damon singled. The next batter, Mark Teixeira, singled to advance Damon to third.
Christopher Pasatieri/US Presswire
Alex Rodriguez walked to load the bases. J.P. Howell was brought in to relieve Grant Balfour who had started the top of the inning in relief of Joe Nelson. He surrendered a walk to Robinson Cano, which scored Damon from third. 3-2 Rays. Jorge Posada grounded into a fielder's choice at third, which scored Teixeira. A-Rod was safe at third, due to an error by third baseman Willy Aybar. Game tied at 3. Hideki Matsui came up next, and hit a grounder to second which took out Jorge Posada but Alex Rodriguez scored to put the Yanks up, 4-3. Melky Cabrera missed a clutch scoring opportunity with a strikeout to end the inning, but the Yankees had their first lead of the game.
Bring on the 9th and Mariano Rivera. A day earlier, the Rays had victimized Rivera, scoring 4 runs in the 9th to win 9-7. In a controversial decision by manager Joe Girardi, Rivera had intentionally walked the Rays' Evan Longoria. But Sunday was a new day, and Mo, never one to back down, was prepared. The first two batters were retired easily. Matt Joyce grounded out to first, and Gabe Gross struck out swinging. The next batter due up was Dioner Navarro, but he took a seat as Evan Longoria was brought in to pinch hit. The dramatic stage was set. Rivera versus Longoria. The matchup that had never materialized the previous day due to the intentional pass ordered by Girardi. Would Longoria tie the game or get on base as the potential tying run? Or would Rivera re-establish his dominance as perhaps the greatest closer of all-time? Longoria fouled the first two pitches to fall behind in the count, 0-2. The next pitch was a ball to put the count at 1-2. On the fourth pitch, Longoria grounded out to second and the ball game was over. The Rays were no longer undefeated at Yankee Stadium and the Yankees had moved into a tie with the Boston Red Sox for first, and then moved forward by a ½ game later in the day when the Texas Rangers defeated the Red Sox 6-3. Alfredo Aceves, who has truly morphed into the role once occupied by Ramiro Mendoza, was the winner with two innings of one-hit, shutout ball in relief of Chamberlain. Rivera picked up his 13th save.
Goodnight to the Rays and Red Sox! This day belonged to the Yankees…
So, although the weekend started on a depressing note, it rebounded very nicely!
Hey Julia, the Yankees will soon be headed for Boston…with a vengeance! Look out…
Go Yankees!

Well, at least YOU can say your guys learned to rebound after a loss. While I, on the other hand, have only to wait until Tuesday (and the MLB Draft) to have joy as to MY motley crew…
I mean, my God, we did such a number on the Mets last night…only to UN-learn everything today. I didn't even bother watching this piece of garbage; I was watching Virginia move on to the College World Series!!! (Yes, the same UVA that beat Stephen Strasburg 9 days ago…THAT team.)
I'll leave you now to get back to your little tete-a-tete with Julia…LMAO…just remember, we'll be at the "new" YS on the 16th-18th. (Hopefully we'll remember how to play baseball…lol)
The party's over? What – you're conceding already? Okay – I accept!😉 Gee – I really thought you would have put up more of a fight. lol! I am looking forward to the series in Boston. We'll have Beckett, Wakefield and Penny on the mound for us. While I would have liked to see Lester in the lineup I am happy with the rotation. Yes – the only thing I can see hurting us is the weather. Tuesday and Thursday are not looking so good right now. Game on my friend and may the Red Sox…er…best team win.😉
Can't wait for the series in Boston this week. It's going to be a good one. I'm predicting the Yanks take two out of the three game series.
You had a perfect day yesterday. I see the Lakers won in OT. Enjoy it now – there won't be many of them this week.😉
Have a great day!
Loved yesterday's game, Scott, even though it had its moments of stress (don't they all). Now let's hope we can beat the Rays again today and go into Boston feeling all good about ourselves!
Welcome to Boston Scott. Your guys are headed to Red Sox Country now. Game on my friend!😉
I sadly won't be at home tonight to watch the game – so you won't be able to "ruin" a perfect outing by Beckett!😉 Are you ready for some baseball?
Game On!

But the latest token increase comes with a stunning admission by the ag secretary.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Producer milk prices will go up 12.5 cents per hundredweight for six months in California starting July 1, the result of the most recent producer petition for emergency price relief to help dairies cover their cost of production.
That dairies didn't get what their tremendously united front requested and showed justification for at a May 21 public hearing - a $1.20 jump in the Class 4b (cheese) price that would have translated into a blend price hike of 54 cents is no surprise whatsoever. That they got anything at all is a mild one. That it pours more fuel on the growing fire to get a Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) in California goes without saying.
But what was absolutely stunning were statements made by California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross (pictured here) in a letter to the dairy industry that accompanied the price hike announcement. Frankly, California dairy producers have never seen anything like them before.
The letter is very effectively a confession that the state's 44-year-old milk pricing system no longer works, is unable to meet the needs of its producers, and needs to be replaced. Key phrases in the letter are:
"Our system of regulated milk pricing is an antiquated one that impairs the ability of the dairy industry "
"The current system is unsustainable . . . "
"We must work together to create a new system to allow producers to improve margins . . . "
These are thunderclap statements that might as well be the program's letter of retirement. They also seem to bless the vigorous efforts that are already underway by the state's three biggest cooperatives to pursue creation of an FMMO.
The author has served large Western dairy readers for the past 36 years and manages Hoard's WEST, a publication written specifically for Western herds. He is a graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, majored in journalism and is known as a Western dairying specialist.

The Florida Code
When giving directions in Florida, you must always start with the words, "take I-75, "take I-4 "or "take I-95."
When crossing the border into Florida, forget all driving rules you ever knew.
If you're a snowbird or a non-working retiree, you absolutely cannot drive between the hours of 6 A.M. To 10 A.M. And 4 P.M. To 7 P.M. This is considered to be RUSH HOUR and you are not in any rush. NO EXCEPTIONS. But you will drive anyway.
Freeways can only go north and south . . . Not east and west except Alligator Alley.
Tolls are a fact of life, the state has to make money, so deal with it!
I-275 ( Tampa area) will always be under construction ... that's the law and there is nothing anyone can do about it, period!
'A1A' and 'Alt. A1A' are the same road.
Traffic lights are not timed and never will be.
We measure the distance we travel in time - not miles.
If you travel more than 5-10 miles on any road in any part of Florida without seeing an orange barricade, you're lost!
If you miss your exit on I-75, I-4 or I-275, its perfectly acceptable to back up!
Every street in Florida has both a name and a number (I.e. Adamo = Rt. 60) just for the heck of it -- and also for the pleasure we get from reaction of visitors when we give them directions.
Once the light turns green, only 3 cars can go through the intersection, eight more go through on yellow, and 4 more on red.
Know the difference between SunPass, Sun Fest, Sun-Sentinel and Sun Trust.
Flip flops, tank tops and baggy shorts are also known as business casual . Plaids and stripes of different colors at the same time are the norm.
Your car's signal blinker means nothing. It will be left on at all times.
English is our first and second language.
It is perfectly acceptable to brag about the size of your emergency generator.
We have alligators here in Florida and they WILL bite you. Don't be stupid and try to feed or pet one.
When a hurricane is headed our way, even though you have advance warning and you are told to be prepared, you're not a true Floridian unless you wait until the absolute last minute to go to Home Depot to pick up plywood or to Publix to stock up on water, ice and potato chips.
You know how to spell Okeechobee. There is an Okeechobee Lake, Town, County, Blvd, Street, and Avenue.
A true Floridian does NOT own a boat. They make friends with someone who already owns one. That way you don't have to deal with any of the headaches.
You weren't born here. If you were, you're angry that anyone else has moved here.
There's always a Walgreens across the street from a CVS on nearly every corner - with more being built every day.
When picking up a woman on South Beach, always check for an Adams apple.
Its normal to sweat when you are putting up your holiday decorations.
In south Florida the four seasons are summer.
There is a city called 'The Villages' where 87,000 old people live that all drive golf carts and dance in the streets. 50% of these people are swingers; the rest just got too old to care about it.
Jupiter is a city, not a planet.
Seniors have to do their errands during the weekdays . . Not weeknights or weekends . . that's for the working folks.
There are three types of dolphins: Mahi-mahi, Flipper and also a football team.
You can't say; 'this is how we did it up north'. If you think that way, then go back up north. Just remember, I-95 and I-75 run both ways.
No matter what they decide in Tallahassee you will never, ever be able to figure out your property taxes.
Learn how to dress in layers. It will be 95 degrees outside. But inside any restaurant or business it's 65 degrees.
With the slightest hint of a hurricane your house insurance will be cancelled.
The biggest Asian pythons are in the Everglades.
You want to live on a lake? Dig a hole.
Early bird dinner starts at 4 but be there at 3. Have plastic bags in your purse or pocket for the packets of sugar, Splenda, etc.
True Floridians rarely go to the local beach except Miami. These are recognized by the tobacco-colored leather skin.
Don't think of going to Boca unless you are wearing at least once piece of gold lamé.
Always be observant of cars backing through store windows or into canals and swimming pools.
Note that most cars are driven by headless drivers. When seen, there is always white hair and over-sized, black wrap-around sunglasses.
This would be even funnier if it weren't so true.
You forgot about the cars with the New Jersey license plates. They have backwards turn signals. When the right signal is on, be prepared for a left turn (and vice versa)

Legality of flipping' school questionedBy Josh OGorman
Vermont Press Bureau | March 15,2014MONTPELIER A bill approved by the Senate that would prohibit a public school from closing and reopening as an independent school contains an amendment calling for a study to determine if such a law would be constitutional.
With a unanimous voice vote Friday morning, the Senate approved a bill that would prevent a town from flipping its school, meaning closing a school only to have it reopen and serve essentially the same population. It also calls for the Agency of Education to determine if towns have the constitutional authority to flip a school.
However, Sen. Joseph Benning, a Republican from Caledonia County, offered an amendment that calls for a study to determine if the Legislature has the authority to impose such a moratorium in the first place.
If were going to have a study to determine whether or not towns have the constitutional authority to flip a school, then surely we ought to have, in conjunction with that, a study that determines if the state has the constitutional authority to prevent such an activity from happening, Benning said.
The amendment was approved and became part of the bill.
The Senate bill as approved is the product of a pair of amendments and, in the end, bears little resemblance to the bill as originally introduced. The original bill, S.91, titled An act relating to public funding of some approved independent schools, contained language that would have imposed standards that independent schools would have to meet in order to receive money from the state.
Those standards would have included a requirement that the schools have a blind admissions policy, meaning they could not deny education to a student who requires special education services.
Other provisions would have required the schools to offer free lunch to students who qualify economically and would prohibit a school from denying enrollment based on a students race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
Some independent schools in Vermont receive public funding. During the 2013 fiscal year, 2,525 of the states approximately 90,000 students attended independent schools, at a total cost of $36.7 million.
However, on Thursday, the Senate approved an amendment to the bill that struck all of those requirements and instead inserted language to prohibit public schools from closing and reopening as independent schools that would serve the same student population.
There have been several instances of public schools closing and immediately reopening as independent schools, including most recently the North Bennington Graded School in 2013.

By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
The seventh of eight escaped inmates was captured Monday night after a citizen spotted 19-year-old Louis Chavez in a Clovis grocery store, according to police.
Chavez was captured without incident in a vehicle outside Lowe's grocery store on 14th Street, according to Police Capt. Patrick Whitney.
Whitney said a citizen called Crime Stoppers around 6:23 p.m. and told police Chavez was at Lowe's. "It was a customer that was in (the store); they thought they recognized him," he said.
As officers pulled into the parking lot, they saw Chavez and another male get into a vehicle. When approached the vehicle, they discovered Chavez hunkered down, hiding on the floorboard, Whitney said.
Chavez gave officers a false name, but was quickly identified through tattoos and other characteristics, Whitney said.
Chavez was among a group of eight inmates who escaped Aug. 24 from the Curry County Adult Detention Center by stealing a key to a plumbing closet, climbing pipes and cutting a hole in the roof of the jail.
He was being held on charges of burglary, larceny and extreme cruelty to animals.
Edward Salas, 24, a convicted killer, still remains at large.
Chavez told investigators Monday night the escapees went their separate ways and said he has no knowledge of Salas' whereabouts, Whitney said. Investigators are skeptical, Whitney said.
"That's the story he's giving," Whitney said. "He's not being cooperative."
Whitney said Chavez told police he had been hiding in Texas and only returned to Clovis a couple of hours prior to his capture.
The male with Chavez told police he had just picked him up at Brady and Prince streets. "They're claiming not to know each other," Whitney said.
The male driver of the vehicle was charged with aiding and abetting a felon, Whitney said.
Whitney said he was not certain of the second suspect's name. Jail officials said they were not at liberty to release his name.

Facing a massive budget shortfall, school leaders asked for a funding increase of $1.5 million from the county ŌĆö a 22 percent increase compared to last yearŌĆÖs funding from the county of $6.9 million.
But the countyŌĆÖs proposed budget calls for a far more modest increase of only $200,000. That recommendation was included in a draft budget presented to commissioners last week by County Manager Jack Horton.
If HortonŌĆÖs draft budget stands, the school system will need to dig deep and cut its way out of a roughly $1.3 million hole.
ŌĆ£I was not surprised, but I was disappointed at the initial amount placed in the budget,ŌĆØ said Superintendant Jim Duncan. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not enough to cover what we need to have to start school.ŌĆØ
The preliminary budget could be altered yet by commissioners during a series of budget meetings in the coming month. The county will also hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 11, at the Macon County Courthouse before voting on a final budget, which wonŌĆÖt take effect until July 1.
Duncan is hoping the commissioners will be swayed to inject more into the school system for the coming year ŌĆö another $200,000 at the very least. Another $400,000 would avoid the deepest cuts.
The school board waffled in recent months over how much to ask the county for. At first, the school system formulated a list showing what a full suite of cuts would look like ŌĆö eliminating teachersŌĆÖ assistants, assistant principals, middle school sports and the early college program, plus moving to bigger class sizes.
Then a second list was floated showing what $900,000 in cuts would look like ŌĆö in hopes the commissioners would make up the difference between the more severe list of cuts and the scaled-down cuts.
Duncan suggested the county could dip into its large fund balance, which stands at about $18 million, to help the schools.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt consider it a dead issue at this point,ŌĆØ Duncan said. ŌĆ£But if thereŌĆÖs no movement ŌĆö itŌĆÖs going to be a big adjustment, and itŌĆÖs not going to be pleasant.ŌĆØ
If commissioners canŌĆÖt be swayed to, at the very least, meet the school halfway and avoid the entire $1.3 million shortfall, Duncan said the situation could become serious.
One option on the table is cutting the local salary bonus that Macon teachers get.
Many counties tack a supplement on to teachersŌĆÖ pay over and above the base state salary. Duncan said targeting the $400,000 in county supplements would not be popular ŌĆö considering the North Carolina ranks one of the lowest in the country for teacher salaries ŌĆö but may be necessary if no more money is given to the schools.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖd rather have the teachers higher paid,ŌĆØ Duncan said. ŌĆ£But if I donŌĆÖt have enough teachers to cover the classrooms, thatŌĆÖs a moot point.ŌĆØ
After seeing the county managerŌĆÖs proposed budget, county Commissioner Jimmy Tate said heŌĆÖs not sure the school will get any more funding. Commissioners had already agreed earlier this year that they would not raise taxes, even to save the school budget. A tax increase of 1.5 cents would be necessary to fund the schoolsŌĆÖ full request.
The preliminary budget already foregoes adding more than a dozen county positions requested by various departments, including deputies, paramedics and information technology staff. However, as the budget talks take place, Tate said heŌĆÖd like to see what else can be done for the school system.
ŌĆ£If we are able to find any other funds in our budget, I would like to see it go toward education,ŌĆØ Tate said. ŌĆ£No doubt.ŌĆØ
The county has been no stranger to school spending in recent years. During the past five years, the county has funded more than $45 million in construction projects and improvements.
Neither has the county been a stranger to other spending requests in recent months. Commissioners have approved large-ticket spending requests to purchase land for baseball fields, emergency cardiac defibrillators and more than $750,000 in added annual expenses for employee raises.
County Commission Chairman Kevin Corbin, who formerly served on the school board, said his vote will back giving the schools least what the Horton suggested, if not more. Corbin said with conservative revenue projections, more money might become available at mid-year as well.
But he said it was unrealistic to think the county could come up with the money to make up the entire school budget shortfall, while holding true to its commitment not to raise taxes. Furthermore, the county is already taking $1.6 million out of its fund balance for next yearŌĆÖs budget. That makes the prospect of drawing even more from the countyŌĆÖs reserve fund for the school system unlikely, Corbin said.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a tough budget year,ŌĆØ Corbin said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not realistic without raising taxes, and we already said were unwilling to do that.ŌĆØ

Great job man, i saw it a month or two ago! Noticed you used a lot of footage from the standing tall film.. i remember when i first saw it, i dropped a few tears..
anyway, welcome to our forums!
Hey guys...I usually just post over somewhere else...but decided to pop in; I spoke to one of the guys from this website...so figured i'd sign up.
Anyways...my Patrick Ewing tribute video is well worth the time to click the link and watch...I think you'll all like it...it's pretty emotional.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
If any of you want to talk Knicks, or NBA, i'm completley obsessed with both...my AOL/AIM sn is Knickplaya
Great job man, i saw it a month or two ago! Noticed you used a lot of footage from the standing tall film.. i remember when i first saw it, i dropped a few tears..
anyway, welcome to our forums!
The video brought a tear to my eye, great video! It is so great to see footage from when the Knicks were the beast of the east and Ewing is Mr. NY in my eyes and your video did him justice, geat job.
Wow thanks so much for that
I started following hoop as a Georgetown fan and still remember the day I became a Knick fan...the day Ewing went there...It was great to see all those old memories..and to remember when basketball really was important and special in NY. Maybe we never won that championship...but basketball meant something and those teams fought for every win...damn that was great.
ewing33, do you know the standing tall video? it has a lot of his georgetown years.. very touching
No I don't know that video...how do I find it?
nice video man, I really miss big Pat and those great Knick days! I was getting teary eyed lol
Buffalo Bills
San Francisco Giants
NY Knicks
I got mine of Amazon. Its called standing tall
Buffalo Bills
San Francisco Giants
NY Knicks
Patrick Ewing would have easily been in the top 5 big men if he would have won a championship and put up numbers like his 89-90 year and if he didn't tear ligaments in his wrist he would have never dropped under 20 points in my opinion. Pat is easily one of the top shooting centers of all time and his athletisim was by far the top in the world. He is still my dream center...
Just imagine if Ewing had Stockton
So, tell me ... how many championships did Ewing get for the Knicks ??? I believe the answer is ZEEEEERO!!!
How in the world can you say that Pat Ewing was a positive asset for the Knicks? Who cares what his stats were. This guy had no guts and was a total loser for the team.
This was a guy who refused to defer a portion of his salary when in order to make room in the salary cap (to be paid in later years) to allow the Knicks to make some much needed trades at the time (I forget for who, but it's irrelevant), because Pat Ewing had a clause in his contract that stated he had to be the highest paid player on the team!! This coming from one of the BIGGEST CHOKE ARTITSTS in Knicks history, who when called on to win the game missed endless shots from within the paint to help seal the Knicks fate as loosers. It's no surprise that this other halfwit [The 1 and Only] is on the same page with this 'Tribute'. In all reality this should be a tribute of CHOKERS who did absolutely nothing to help the Knicks win a championship. Let me guess ... you probably think Isiah Thomas is one of the greatest GMs in Knicks history as well.
Are you even a knick fan? Or are you some scrub typing on your mommas computer trying to get people mad. To me you're a joke...I can't get mad at your posts cuz they're so funny. Not only does any one not take you seriously but you are the joke of the forum. You're the guy baking cakes instead of playing basketball with the rest of the boys...you're the guy that hates on patrick ewing and dares to speak on this forum. I say we all take a vote and kick this barbie doll whore up outta here...
LOL, that was good. I really am laughing out loud (Furreal) ... the baking cakes thing really cracked me up too ... LOL too funny ... Now ...Originally Posted by The 1 and Only
Please tell me however, what the hell did Pat Ewing actually do for the Knicks? ... and please don't quote stats to me. Stats are history and unfortunately that history under Pat Ewing did not include a CHAMPIONSHIP, did it ? I didn't think so. And why ?? Because HE CHOAKED !! Thank you very much. Now let me go back to mopping the kitchen floor.
And by the way, you and your whole damn crew couldn't stop my fade away jumper from anywhere on the court. In your face ...
In the immortal words of "The Pickle" ...
I'm a longtime Knicks fan and I don't know how any Knicks fan could come to a different conclusion."

Yet he is one of the greatest 50 ballas to ever play the game? I prove my case...

I joined the Department of Linguistics of the University of Tübingen in Summer 2008 as a Full Professor of Computational Linguistics and head of the Theoretical Computational Linguistics group. In 2013, I also became a member of the Department of Language and Linguistics at the Universitet i Tromsø, Norway as a Professor II to collaborate on ICALL research with the Giellatekno group.
My work currently focuses on four broad areas:
- I. the use and advancement of linguistic modeling and insight in:
- - Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (FeedBook, FLAIR, VIEW, WERTi, TAGARELA)
- - learner corpora, Second Language Acquisition, Language Teaching, and Testing (MERLIN, Kobalt-DaF)
- - automatic comparison of meaning in authentic task contexts (CoMiC, SFB 833/A4)
- - use and correction of corpus annotation (DECCA project)
An event I co-organized is the CALICO-09 Workshop on Automatic Analysis of Learner Language (AALL'09), which follows up on the AALL'08 workshop and the Special Issue of the CALICO journal on this topic. The events build on the Interfaces of Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (IICALL) workshop I organized in 2006. I also taught a course on ICALL: An emerging interdisciplinary field at ESSLLI 2009 in Bordeaux and an updated version of the course at the Summer School in Bilingualism 2012 at Bangor University.
From 2008 to 2010, I served two years as head of department of linguistics at the University of Tübingen. From 2005 to 2008, I was an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Linguistics at The Ohio State University, after working there as an Assistant Professor since 2001. From 1997 to 2000, I was a Lecturer at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Tübingen, where I had worked as a full time researcher in the SFB 340 since 1995.
I received my MA degree in Linguistics, Computer Science, and Psychology from the University of Tübingen in 1994, and my PhD in Computational Linguistics there in 2000. During my studies, I enjoyed a year as an exchange student with an ERASMUS grant at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique (IRIT) at the Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse in France.

The City of Mill Valley is pleased to announce a street maintenance and sewer rehabilitation project that will take place this summer on East Blithedale Avenue. The project will involve improvements to the road surface to promote a smooth and quiet ride, new traffic markings, sewer pipe repair, and new manholes. While the project will cause short-term delays and traffic congestion over a period of two months, the benefits of this project will be significant, including the repair of sewer infrastructure and improved pavement conditions. Construction on East Blithedale from Elm/Alta Vista Avenue to Camino Alto will take place from June 24th through August 23rd, while schools are not in session, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. While East Blithedale will not be entirely closed to through traffic at any point, traffic will often be limited to one lane, and therefore delays and traffic congestion can be expected. If possible, we encourage you to plan alternate routes, such as Miller Avenue or Camino Alto to avoid travel on East Blithedale. Please do not to cut through the residential side streets during the construction period. If you must drive on East Blithedale, add time to your travel estimates and anticipate delays.
Stay informed by checking the City website and signing up for electronic notifications of travel conditions and alerts.
The City of Mill Valley appreciates your cooperation while we work on this important infrastructure project. If you have questions or comments, please call the East Blithedale Project Hotline at 590-0117 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Students at Sand Lake Elementary in Holmen are learning first-hand what it's like to eat locally grown foods as part of La Crosse County's Farm to School program.
On Thursday, the students fulfilled Gundersen Lutheran Chef Thomas Sacksteder's challenge to grow a small crop of beans at home and later share their experience and a bean recipe with their classmates.
After learning about new health foods the kids get to incorporate them into their meals.
"It's just wonderful. Kids love it," said Chef Sacksteder. "They love to try the foods. They love to take the recipes home. And they love to share it with their families."
Two standout students were chosen to help with the next recipe, which involved cranberries. The Farm to School program is being implemented in La Crosse, Onalaska, West Salem and Holmen School Districts.

Everything you know and have comes from your family. Even if you could somehow forget that fact, society continually hammers you with the idea that there are no limits to how much shit you should have to put up with when it comes to your blood relatives.
I disagree.
Growing up, you are in the most frightening, vulnerable position of your life, and I'm not just talking about relying on mom to throw some corndogs in the oven, or dad to show you which porn sites won't fuck up your computer. Because of my own abnormal upbringing, I believed for the longest time that my views on family were skewed -- influenced in a negative direction as a result of a lifetime of fear. It wasn't until I started writing for Cracked and collecting emails from readers expressing the same viewpoints that I realized I wasn't unique in disagreeing with statements like ...
4"You Have to Help Him, He's Your Father!" (or Mother, etc.)
Why We Say It:
You owe your parents everything. Without them, your entire existence would have been abbreviated to a latex reservoir tip swatting that shit out of the air like an NBA center. They put food on the table and a roof over your head, and by God, the least you can do is be there for them in return.
As adults, we expect the same from our own kids -- a return on our investment. And that's a perfectly logical, reasonable request, isn't it? "I helped you, now you help me." At some point, every parent does it, and we enforce that with one phrase that means two completely different things, depending on the recipient's age: "I'm your father!"
"When I tell you to de-pube your mother's stripper pole, I mean now!"
As a child, it's a demand. "You will mow the lawn because I'm your father, and you will damn well do what I tell you. Now you get out there before I clothe you with snakes!"
As an adult, that meaning loses its weight because they no longer make the rules. That's when the phrase becomes a plea. "Can I borrow 20 bucks for some crack? Come on, man, I'm your father. You know how you made it to this age without dying? That was me who did that!"
"Now, you get over here and wipe your old man's crack, whaddaya say?"
When It's Bullshit:
Right now, I have no fewer than two dozen messages in my inbox from readers asking me what to do in their seemingly unique situation. One or both of their parents are addicts, or habitual criminals, or general fuckups. The kids are taking care of themselves. They watch these grown-ass adults wrecking the entire family with stress about bills, borrowing money from anyone they can to keep the lights on while feeding hundreds of dollars per month into their vices. Every time the parents attempt to clean up their act, they fall right back into the same destructive cycle within weeks. The kids are essentially on their own. You know, normal family problems. We've all been there.
And here's the thing -- the whole "broken childhood" bit doesn't end at childhood. There are people who will spend 40 consecutive years with this bullshit from their parents, knowing that their own kids won't have the sitcom Grandma and Grandpa that's always waiting with a hug and a turkey at Thanksgiving. These are the parents who are always borrowing, or begging, or making demands. They're constantly needing to be bailed out like teenagers, or roping you into petty family disputes ("Your Uncle Steve has been talking shit about your mom again. Now be a good son and go slash his fucking tires").
But ... "I have to be there for them because they're my parents, right?"
"Here you go. I'll be back in an hour. Porn ain't gonna watch itself."
If you take nothing else from this article, please make it this: Childhood is not a bill that you have to pay for later. Parenting is not charity, or a loan -- it is a requirement for those who took on the job, whether they meant to or not. When you become a parent yourself, you will be required to do it as well, without thanks or compensation. In fact, in the first year, you will often get shit on and stomped in the genitals.
Do you owe it to your own parents to be supportive? To try to help them break destructive habits? Of course. But not at the risk of your own health and emotional well being. For the first 20 years of your life, you are being trained to be a caregiver. At no point in that time should you be required to be one yourself. That's not your job. Your job is to learn and grow.
And to randomly burst into a song and dance number with your stupid friends.
Again, I'm not saying that if your mom is wheelchair-bound and needs help painting the house that you shove a finger in her face and say "I got my own problems, whore!" I'm talking about people who are outside your power to help unless you make it your full-time job. You can't fix their addictions, or depression, or stupidity, or chronic need to constantly be in some kind of dramatic crisis. I think there's a point where you're allowed to let that shit go to voice mail.
3"You Have to Stick Up for Them, No Matter What!"
Why We Say It:
You and your sister go out for a few drinks when her ex-boyfriend enters the bar. As soon as he sees her, he makes a beeline over to her and starts yelling right there in public for no reason. Everyone in the place is staring. She's obviously getting upset and pretty damn embarrassed. So, being the logical protector that you are, you reach into your trench coat and pull out your morning star ... it has "Conversation Ender" stenciled on the handle.
What their fight was about makes little difference because, of those two people, you are close to only one of them. Growing up with your sister, you know the intricacies of her personality ... the personal trials and hardships she went through that dictate how she reacts to conflict and stress. You know why she's crying, and you know how to make it stop because you know her.
"Come on. Who's a pretty unicorn, huh? Who's a pretty unicorn? That's right, and do pretty unicorns cry?"
The ex-boyfriend is just some walking penis with a popped collar and too much cologne.
When it comes to family members, we tend to throw out our sense of logic and impartial deduction because we're personally connected to them. We judge the situation with no need of a trial, evidence or testimony because we know our sister and "she would never do anything to hurt anyone." Well, aside from the time she tried to stab you, but to be fair, you did take her doll while standing in your knife display room.
"Knife" is such a loose term.
When It's Bullshit:
Later, you have an hour to kill while they clean off the chunks of hair and skin at the morning star cleaning shop. Your sister tells you that the reason her ex was so pissed is because she cheated on him. And he keeps asking for his CDs back, but she hasn't gotten around to it. And every morning, she makes a special trip to his house to pack her shit into his dog's fur.
OK, maybe that was just my family, but you see where I'm going with this. We still have a tribal urge to stand up for our own blood against the outsiders, and society makes it clear that a man who doesn't stand up for mother/sister/siblings ain't no man at all. So it's easy to make the leap from the very noble idea of "You should be there for your family" to the very stupid idea that it's your duty to pull them out of the shit every time they swan dive into it.
"Frankie, what kind of wacky trouble are you in now?"
For instance, in school, it seemed like no matter where my brother went, some asshole bully would corner and beat the piss out of him without so much as a "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father ... prepare to die." When my dad would see his black eye, his first response would usually be to look at me and ask, "Where were you?" Not "What happened," or "Did you deserve it?" It was just automatically expected of me to jump in and start throwing elbows when the drama of 8-year-olds got real.
And I did help out for a while. Until we got into high school and I found out that the reason he was getting his ass kicked so often was because he had a tendency to steal things and make passes at other guys' girlfriends.
And cause disruptive weather patterns at the beach when people are trying to swim.
So at some point you have to give yourself permission to say "You got yourself into this. Good luck." Hell, sometimes that's what they need to hear anyway.

My First Job: Teaching in Sierra Leone
Joy Marburger
I joined the Peace Corps in 1969, after graduating from Allegheny College in 1968 and completing one year of graduate school at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. My decision was based primarily on a need to explore the world. The Peace Corps application inquired where I wanted to work – my response was India or somewhere in Africa. Needless to say, I had no clue that Africa was so diverse in geography, cultures and nations.
I ended up in Sierra Leone, or "Salone" in Creole, where I would become a secondary school teacher. Sierra Leone is a West African country about the size of South Carolina located about 7-10 degrees above the equator. The name Sierra Leone dates back to 1462, when the Portuguese explorers dubbed the territory, "Sierra Lyoa", meaning Lion Mountains, since the coastal regions looked like lion's teeth. The British, who took over the country from the Portuguese, officially adopted the name Sierra Leone in 1787. Freetown, a British crown colony and eventually the capital, was the principal base for freed slaves from Britain and North America.
When I arrived in Freetown the heat and humidity overwhelmed me, since I was used to the cool temperate climate of Meadville in Western Pennsylvania. The newly minted PCVs landed at Lungi Airport in Freetown during a military coupe, so we were herded into the receiving room by AK-47 toting soldiers. We were eventually cleared to begin our 6-week training adventure by living with a family in the capital city to learn about the culture and Creole language. The training experience was very memorable: first, the very hot food with staple ingredients of rice, cassava, and palm oil; second, the custom of eating the food with your hands; and third, the total submersion in inquiry-based teaching methods we were supposed to use during our teaching assignment.
Sierra Leone is divided into four provinces, Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western. There are 16 ethnic groups in the country; the Mende people are the largest group in the Southern and Eastern Provinces. My assignment was to teach biology and general science at a girls' secondary school in Moyamba, the capital of the Southern Province. I lived in a modest cement block house equipped with electricity and running water. I had three other female housemates, including a Canadian, who were also teachers at the school. After dinner in the evening we would tell stories of all kinds, including those of the neighbors who would visit occasionally. I was impressed by how friendly everyone was – the elders who visited our house would often tell us their life stories. We had a local "band" in the neighborhood, which would play traditional Mende songs at least once a month with hand-made instruments.
Teaching science to Sierra Leonean girls ranging from 12 to 21 years of age was a real challenge, especially since formal education was based on the British System. Instead of grade levels 7-12, there were forms 1-5. The whole point of students going on to high school after elementary school was to pass the Ordinary Level exams to get into a college or technical school. These girls were a select, small minority of the general female population given the opportunity to get an education through private support or government grants. Some students came from wealthy families living in Freetown. Many came from the rural areas around Moyamba, whose family income amounted to about $360 a year. The school fees were around $30 a year, so this was a substantial sacrifice for the rural families to send their daughters to school. Many did not finish high school because of family responsibilities. All of my fifth form students managed to pass their final biology exams, which allowed them to pursue higher education.
As a biologist, I had the opportunity to investigate the flora and fauna in a tropical country. With encouragement of two British scientists, whom I met in Sierra Leone, I developed a research project on a tropical liana that eventually resulted in my M.S. thesis after I returned to the states. I also had some unusual encounters with wildlife: especially with poisonous snakes and army ants (on separate occasions) entering our house or school compound.
I try to keep abreast of what has happened to Sierra Leone since I left in 1972. I feel sad about the civil war conflicts that ravaged the country from the early 1990s until 2002. I often wonder what happened to my students, and whether they and their families survived the conflicts. I am currently a member of a friends' group (Friends of Sierra Leone) that provides assistance to people in Sierra Leone. Electronic media now permit networking of people and programs within and outside the country. Much has changed since I was a volunteer there, but my experiences will always be fondly remembered.
Joy Marburger completed a Ph.D. in agronomy from the University of Maryland in 1986. She is currently the Research Coordinator for the Great Lakes Research and Education Center, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Porter, Indiana. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This one smells like authentic lavender and is pretty gentle on the skin, too bad that they don't sell it anymore.
Good enough

Great smell, no bubbles

This has been great for washing, but doesn't have much lather for very long. I put three squirts on my scrub net and by the time I reach my arms (starting from the toes), I lose all lather and have to use more soap.
It is great.

Take a picture; it'll last longer!
May 15, 2014 —
It's no secret that I love what I do for a living. Whether it's catching a new show in town, checking out the latest art installation, or attending local events in any number of charming hamlets and villages scattered across this gorgeous playground we call home, there is always something stimulating and picturesque calling to me. Although Memorial Day is lurking, the action has already begun in earnest, and with another birthday hovering over me (May 25—feel free to send cash), I rely more and more these days on taking photographs, in an effort to recall what I did "just the other day." Honestly, I've never been the sharpest tool in the shed, but the years are catching up, and lately, I can't recall what I had for breakfast more often than not. "Happens to the best of us," my pals of a certain age declare. "You're not exactly young anymore," they add, sprinkling salt on the wound. Sigh. As a result, my efforts behind the lens are more important than ever, since I need visual reminders of where I've been during the week, while pretending that I actually recall being there.
Photography has become such a passion, that I never leave the house without the camera, except when I forget. When I run out with the Wonder Dog, I grab my trusty Nikon, hoping that I might see a hawk overhead, or a woolly bear making its way to safety underfoot, and I snap away, since the beauty of digital photography allows me to shoot hundreds, hoping to catch a single gem along the way. Some weeks, I take thousands, seeking to capture one that's decent, and often think of the amazing Ansel Adams, who was quoted as saying, "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop" (www.digital-photography-school.com).
With that in mind, I tossed the dog in the truck and made my way to Bethel, NY last Wednesday, where Hostess with the Mostess Stacy Cohen (www.dancingcatsaloon.com) was presenting Wepecket Island Records artists Sherman Lee Dillon, "Ragtime" Jack Radcliffe, Don Barry and Debbie Fisher Palmarini, with their "Rolling Roots Revue," featuring harmonica, washboard, ragtime piano and some great (IMHO) vocals, courtesy of Palmarini & Co. "Even though "official' season doesn't begin for a few weeks," Cohen said, "it's always hopping at the Cat!" No argument here. I took over 100 photos during the evening, and found one decent shot in the batch, so felt ahead of the game.

Before a jam-packed audience, which included President Laurie M. Joyner and her family, famed mathematician Arthur Benjamin delighted audience members with his rapid mental calculations and sense of humor, March 20. Benjamin's presentation was the first in the newly created Community Speaker Series sponsored by the new Bullock Math Academy at Wittenberg.
Having appeared on several national programs, including The Today Show, CNN, The Colbert Report and NPR, Benjamin has also been profiled in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Discover Magazine, Esquire, Wired, People and Reader's Digest, among others. His two TED talks have been viewed to date nearly 6 million times, and Reader's Digest has called him "The Math Whiz."
Founded in 2012, Wittenberg's Bullock Math Academy provides sought-after enrichment opportunities for local middle-school students who demonstrate a high aptitude in math. Students will start with the academy in 7th grade and stay with the academy through high school and beyond. Upon their high graduation, academy graduates will then receive a scholarship to help with college. The academy was established thanks to a generous investment by Springfield philanthropist Rosalyn Bullock, who credits her attorney, Daniel C. Harkins, for the idea, as well as her late husband's love of math.

Hecla Mining Co. has fallen short of its planned hostile takeover a competitor in northern Idaho's silver mining market.
Company officials announced Tuesday that shareholders for U.S. Silver Corp. rejected Hecla's cash buyout offer -- estimated at $109 million.
The shareholders voted instead to merge with Canadian firm RX Gold & Silver to form a new company. U.S. Silver shareholders will own about 70 percent of the new company, whose assets include the Galena Mine in Idaho's Silver Valley and a the Drumlummon gold mine northwest of Helena, Mont.
Hecla operates the Lucky Friday Mine in Mullan, and company officials announced the mine is on track to reopen in early 2013. Lucky Friday was shut down by federal regulators in January after a series of accidents led to the deaths or injuries of miners.

Steubenville tops Edison
STEUBENVILLE – Rivalry games always seem to have a little more attached to them.
Wednesday at the softball field at Jim Wood Park, Jefferson County foes Big Red and Edison battled in the latest installment of their rivalry. In the end, Big Red plated five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to rally for a 5-2 victory over the Wildcats.
"I am so proud of our team," Big Red head coach Gus DiMarzio said. "When you are 3-9, it's easy to quit. They are a good team. They have eight wins. Molly McCoy is the best player I have ever seen. I told the girls, 'I'm proud of you.'
"It's easy to fold the tents when you are struggling and when you have lost a lot of close games. We lost another close game earlier this week, but the girls continued to fight like Big Red does and we found a way to get the win."
Edison (8-6) head coach Spencer Bendle did not comment on the game.
"Spencer is a legend in this game," DiMarzio said. "To be able to beat them, it is big for our program. We keep trying and scratching and clawing to find a way to win. Today, we got some breaks, and we found a way to win."
Anna Perrino recorded the win. She struck out six, walked three and limited Edison to two runs on seven hits.
Big Red totaled nine hits.
Mallory Giannamore recorded three singles, Carmie Biasi belted two base hits and Mytia Barker, Tenia Barker, Christina Archer, Brittany Bodo and Abbey Taylor all tallied a base hit.
Zoe Westfall took the loss. Westfall collected three strikeouts while not walking a batter in her 5 innings inside the circle. Caitlin Brenstuhl came on in relief and recorded the final out of the sixth inning on a groundout.
McCoy contributed three doubles, Cassidy Jarvis recorded a single and a double and Ashlee Miller tallied two doubles.
The game was scoreless heading into the top of the fifth when Jarvis connected on a one-out double, and Miller plated her with a double of her own to make the score 1-0.
Big Red had a pair of runners on base in the bottom half of the inning, but Westfall recorded a swinging strikeout to get out of the inning unscathed.
Then, Edison added to its advantage in the top of the sixth.
McCoy got things started with a double. The senior shortstop moved to third on a sacrifice bunt, and she scored on another bunt to put the Wildcats up 2-0.
The tables turned in the bottom half of the inning.
With one out, Archer hit a groundball which rolled down the line to first base. The ball was fielded cleanly, but Archer was able to avoid the tag and reach first safely on the play. Edison argued Archer ran out of the base line, but the call was not changed.
Next, Bodo delivered a base hit to give Big Red two runners on base. After a strikeout, Taylor reached on an infield single scoring Archer making the score 2-1. The tying run scored on another base hit to even the score at 2.
At that point, Brenstuhl replaced Westfall.
Then, Biasi drew a walk to load the bases. Giannamore followed up by hitting a hard-hit ball to shortstop. The ball bounced away allowing the go-ahead run to score making the score 3-2 in favor of Big Red.
Despite the deficit, Edison was just one out away from ending the inning and getting an opportunity to tie the score. The Wildcats appeared to make the necessary play to get out of the inning, but that ultimately proved not to be the case.
With two outs and the bases loaded, Brenstuhl appeared to get out of the jam on a pop up to McCoy, who was standing between second and third base. The runner on second headed to third base on contact, and she ran into the path of McCoy. McCoy attempted to make the catch, but she fell to the ground and the ball bounced out of her glove allowing two runners to score.
The home plate umpire ruled interference on the play wiping out both runs. Big Red argued the call, and after discussing the play with the umpire in the field, the call was changed. The first runner was allowed to score increasing Big Red's advantage to 4-2, while the second runner had to head back to third base.
The other runner came around to score on an error to put the home team out in front 5-2.
"I hope it starts a snowball effect," DiMarzio said about the impact the win could have for his team throughout the rest of the season. "We can't rest on one win. We have to keep playing. Tomorrow is another day, and we play another good team in Union Local.
"We have been struggling to score runs, and today we were able to find a way. We battled and battled. I was happy about that."
Big Red entered the top of the seventh inning with the three-run lead, but the Wildcats refused to go away without putting up a fight.
Jarvis and Miller both reached on singles to start the inning, but Perrino retired the next two batters to keep the runners from advancing. McCoy followed with a walk to load the bases, but Perrino was able to get a flyout to left field to end the game.
"When you come to the field, you are worried about a lot of things," DiMarzio said. "You are worried about being 3-9, and you worry about other things. I told the girls not to worry about being 3-9. I told them to just worry about today. I told them to try and go 1-0 today. It worked. We were able to get the win."
Both teams play at 5 p.m. today at home. Big Red looks for revenge against the Jets, while Edison plays hosts to Indian Creek out at Jefferson Lake State Park.
