Any other comments would be appreciated as well, and color suggestions if you have any. thanks! ------------------ -david- Back to top Bare BonezmemberMember #Joined: 06 Jun 2000Posts: 248Location: North York Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 11:21 am Hey, Just a quick suggestion: No big poofy hair. Probably having her hair tied back 'cause a zero gravity in theory all the hair we be all over the place.. Maybe a crew cut? Something like that.. -b² Back to top FrostBitejunior memberMember #Joined: 15 Dec 2000Posts: 41Location: Santa Cruz, CA, USA Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 11:25 am It looks good so far. I think she would look good with a helmet cap (I don't know what they are called either). It would stick to the space astronaut theme. The left eyebrow is thinner and smaller than the right, and some extra work with the eyes wouldn't hurt. It's also looking like her right ear is slighly higher than her left. Looking forward to the finished piece. ------------------ [Frost Bite] Back to top El CaseronmemberMember #Joined: 31 Mar 2000Posts: 254Location: Germany near Hamburg Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 11:29 am Cool... yea, I agree with that army haircut.

The hand is a bit too small though and the neck may be a tiny too long. I'd either have the hair tied back or short and messy-ish (if you know what I mean) That'll be a corker when it's done Back to top A.ButtlememberMember #Joined: 20 Mar 2000Posts: 1724 Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 5:13 pm Leave her head shaved alá Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3. ------------------ [This message has been edited by your mutha (edited April 15, 197-deuce).] Joe Dillingham firstname.lastname@example.com Three Times A Day Back to top SporQmemberMember #Joined: 22 Sep 2000Posts: 639Location: Columbus, Ohio Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 5:40 pm something like this would be cool. a;so, her ears are too big and a bit too high on her head. good pic though, looking forward to the final. SporQ Back to top MrHiemeyGuestMember # Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 6:08 pm Well, sounds like her hair will be short then.. i'll work on getting the proportions correct also, thank you all very much for the help!! I don't know if any of the technical stuff is working, i'm just kinda making that up as i go, i might add something else to the helmet or some space accessories like a back pack or something. we'll see.. thanks again! Back to top skyediverjunior memberMember #Joined: 10 Dec 2000Posts: 49Location: earth Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 6:56 pm Gotta disagree with sporQ there. Some people in real life actually have big ears. =) If I remember the -one- real figure drawing class I took, ears are roughly the same length as the distance between the eyes and bottom of the nose. And her nose is pretty long, yes? Also, her ears could look high up on her head if her head was pointing slightly downward. Then again, if that was true, her eyes would have to be looking slightly up... nevermind. I love what you've done with the helmet, though. She's pretty, too. My suggestion for the hair would be something dark, short, spiky, and somewhat messy. But that's just me. =) Back to top SporQmemberMember #Joined: 22 Sep 2000Posts: 639Location: Columbus, Ohio Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2001 9:43 pm you're right about the distance being from the eyes to the bottom of the nose. but, they are from the eyes to the mouth in distance. also, when you said that they are usually about the length of the nose, that made me look again, and i think the nose could be a bit long. but, you are right, peole are all different. i didnt mean to make my suggestion sound like it was law and must be followed, just trying to help with some general anatomy. another note, if you want a more stylistic look, but still retain realism. females generally have more demure features, so if i was drawing it, i would make the ears even smaller than normal, as well as rounding out the nose and lips, and maybe bigger eyes. but that's just me.

Back to top zero21memberMember #Joined: 13 Nov 2000Posts: 128Location: New Zealand Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2001 12:53 am I guess it depends on what your looking to acheive here, if you want a pretty thing then 'poof' it up, but if you want the realistic thing then the constraints of hair-care in space rule. (hmm anyone got any know if they make 'space-man' shampoo) OK enuf of my BS, I keep getting this Sinead O'Conner image, and in all honesty - she was pretty sexy for a 'practically' bald woman.

Once 3D printing becomes mainstream, manufacturing companies fear that open season will basically be declared for piracy of physical goods – just as digital downloads reshaped the music industry. Why purchase that fancy new iPhone case, after all, when you can just grab the digital CAD file for free from a website and print it at home for just the cost of some plastic filament?
California-based Authentise wants to allay those fears with a new service called SendShapes. The new service, launching in Alpha status in September, aims to accomplish for 3D printing what Netflix is doing for video streaming: Making it as easy and convenient as possible for users to purchase the right to print an official design for their favorite toy figurine, smartphone dock, or table saw guard.
Under Authentise's scheme, the creator of a 3D design would upload their file to the company's servers, then the end user would stream the uploaded file in pieces as needed by the 3D printer. That streamed file's good for one-time use only: Once the object is printed, all traces of it disappear on your PC. The approach is similar to how Netflix sends video files to your computer, according to MIT Technology Review.
Authentise hopes its approach will allay piracy fears and unlock the coming universe of 3D printing to makers of popular goods.
The ability to print 3D objects may seem limited right now, but there's no telling what crafty 3D printing geeks will be able to craft in their parent's basement over the coming years. One Texas man has already figured out how to print a firearm, and a New Zealand man is printing a full-size plastic replica of a 1961 series II Aston Martin DB4.
Consumers ask why they should pay for 3D designs
Authentise's approach indeed holds appeal. If someone needed to print out a new leg for an Ikea side table, it would be better to get the official 3D design rather than a random CAD drawing pulled off The Pirate Bay's Physibles section. Buying an official Elmo toy design for Christmas would also be easier than trying to create your own version.
But there's no getting around the fact that Authentise's approach is yet another form of digital rights management (DRM) that enforces restrictions on the user. If the model doesn't print out properly, for example, how easy is it to ask for a do over?
Authentise's approach is far more palatable than an idea cooked up by Nathan Myhrvold, a former Microsoft CTO and the co-founder of "patent troll firm" Intellectual Ventures. Myhrvold holds a patent for 3D printing DRM that would force you to get authorization from a remote server before being allowed to print off any item at home, according to ExtremeTech. It's the typical "all users are potential pirates, so let's treat them that way" approach seen in most use cases of DRM, but in 3D.
Authentise's solution should be far more palatable than having a virtual 3D printing cop embedded in your PC, but as with most forms of DRM, SendShapes is also just begging to be cracked.
But even if SendShapes isn't bulletproof, it doesn't mean it won't work overall. People have proven through the success of iTunes, Spotify, and Netflix that if a convenient commercial method is available for buying digital goods, it will beat piracy every time – assuming it charges a reasonable price for a quality product with few restrictions, that is.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, (Jan. 15, 2011) -- With hopes of maintaining its current seven-game win streak and keeping pace in the Atlantic Sun Conference race, the ETSU men's basketball team will face a tough challenge as the Buccaneers take on Jacksonville Saturday at 3:15 p.m. inside the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Both the Bucs (11-7, 6-1) and Dolphins(11-4, 5-1) enter the game with just one loss each in the A-Sun standings. ETSU has enjoyed three straight wins over JU, having swept the two-game series a year ago and also dropping the Dolphins in the 2009 A-Sun Tournament championship game. However, ETSU has lost two of its last three games inside the JVMC.
For more on Saturday's game, click on the game notes link above or read the game notes below. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team only added to its rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing its second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and earning the program's ninth trip all-time to the NCAA Tournament ... Posting the program's fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, the Bucs overcame multiple challenges during the season before dropping Mercer in the A-Sun finals ... Only losing senior guard Jocolby Davis off the roster from 2009-10, the Bucs will add Smith back to the mix after receiving a medical redshirt a year ago, and a trio of incoming recruits will also add to the talent pool.
The series versus Jacksonville
The Bucs are 8-4 all-time against the Dolphins, including a pair of wins over JU a year ago ... ETSU has won three straight in the series, including a victory over JU in the championship game of the 2009 A-Sun Tournament.
Last time against Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2010) - Building a 19-point lead with only seven minutes left in the game, the ETSU men's basketball team watched the Jacksonville Dolphins battle back to pull to within one point with less than a minute remaining. However, JU's Ben Smith missed a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to give ETSU a 64-62 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference action Saturday afternoon at the Veterans Memorial Arena. ... Jacksonville fell on its home floor despite outscoring the Bucs 22-5 over the final seven minutes of the game. The Bucs (17-15 overall, 13-7 A-Sun) got a double-double from sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.), who scored 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, while junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) added 15 points and junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) netted 12. ... The Dolphins dropped to 18-11, 14-6 in A-Sun action. ... In the first half, the forward trio of Brown, Hubbard and sophomore J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) powered the ETSU offense, scoring 25 of ETSU's 37 first-half points and out-rebounding the Dolphins 23-16. ... The ETSU advantage got to 19 at 59-40 with 7:45 remaining in the game, but JU responded with a 22-4 run over the next seven minutes to make it 61-60 with 45 seconds left. During that span, the Dolphins got 17 points from senior guard Ben Smith, which included an amazing four 3-pointers. ... At that point, however, a missed 3-pointer by Tubbs with 10 seconds left was rebounded by Williams, who was fouled by JU's Travis Cohn. With 8.2 seconds left, Williams hit one of two foul shots to make it 64-62, but Smith's 3-pointer then missed as time expired.
Last time out
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 13, 2011) - Relinquishing a 14-point halftime lead, the ETSU men's basketball team made clutch plays and hit critical free throws down the stretch to escape with a 66-61 win over North Florida in Atlantic Sun Conference action Thursday evening inside the UNF Arena. ... Trailing 57-53 with just over two minutes left in the game, ETSU senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) hit six-straight free throws in the final two minutes, while a critical steal and lay-up from junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) made the difference in the final seconds. ... Williams and fellow senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finished with a game-high 19 points each, while junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) pitched in 10 points and 12 rebounds in a double-double effort. ... ETSU its lead to 34-20 at halftime, shooting 50 percent from the floor in the first half and forcing UNF into 10 turnovers on six steals. The Bucs' defense also held the Ospreys to just 29 percent shooting from the floor, including a 15 percent clip from beyond the 3-point arc. ... North Florida opened the second half with a renewed sense of urgency and produced in a big way, stifling the Bucs' offensive attack and outscoring ETSU 26-11 to take the lead at 46-45 with 5:58 left in the game. The two teams traded the advantage back-and-forth multiple times from there, but North Florida was left leading 57-53 with 2:15 on the clock. ... From there, Smith hit a foul shot, followed by a pair of offensive rebounds from Brown that led to lay-up from J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) to make it 57-56. After a UNF miss, Williams grabbed an important defensive rebound and was fouled, hitting both free throws and giving the Bucs the edge at 58-57. A UNF turnover, a steal by Sollazzo and his resulting lay-up made it 60-57. Sollazzo was fouled on the play, but missed the free throw. ... The Ospreys answered with a free throw by Jimmy Williams, but another pair of makes from Micah Williams with 12.6 seconds left made it 62-58. UNF was not done though, as a 3-pointer by Jerron Granberry brought the score to 62-61 with four seconds left. Micah Williams hit two more free throws at that point to basically icing the game as the UNF inbounds pass did not find its mark.
Smith's 20/20 vision leads Bucs
With his 20-point and 20-rebound effort against Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, 2011, senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made history ... According to the statistics available to the ETSU media relations office, Smith was the first Buccaneer since Feb. 14, 1959 to post a 20/20 effort ... The last was Buc great Tom Chilton, who scored 35 points and grabbed 25 rebounds in a win over Wofford during the 1959 season.
Williams chasing 1,000; Smith moving up scoring list
While senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) is already a member of the 1,000-point club, fellow senior Micah Williams has a shot at making it to the group., Meanwhile, Smith continues to climb the all-time scoring chart. Below are numbers for both players:
Name Current Points
Micah Williams 919
With those point totals, Williams would need to average 8.0 points a game for the Bucs' final 13 regular season games to reach 1,000. Smith stands at 1,451 points, and just recently overtook former Buccaneer great Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) for No. 8 on the ETSU all-time scoring list. Here are is the breakdown:
Name Place Points
Troy Lee Mikell No. 7 1,684
Mike Smith No. 8 1,432
Zakee Wadood No. 9 1,382
Harley Swift No. 10 1,367
Smith wins another A-Sun POTW award
MACON, Ga. (Jan. 11, 2011) - For the second time in three weeks, ETSU senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. ... Smith led the Buccaneers to a perfect 3-0 record last week, averaging 23 points, 11 rebounds and two assists per game during that stretch. Most impressively, Smith produced a 20-point, 20-rebound effort against Florida Gulf Coast, becoming the first ETSU player to post a 20/20 effort since 1959. He is only the third player nationally to accomplish that feat this season. ... For the week, Smith also shot 55 percent from the floor and 33 percent from 3-point range. ... With Smith's second selection, the Bucs have now won the last three A-Sun POTW honors, as junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) was the league winner last week.
Sollazzo rolling in last eight games for ETSU
Junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has really found his rhythm in the last eight games, leading the team with 4.5 assists per game, and ranking second on the team with 13.4 points per game ... in those eight games Sollazzo is shooting an impressive 38-of-58 from the field for a 66 percent clip ... he is also averaging 2.9 rpg in this stretch.
"Big 3" hitting key to Bucs' success
Coming into this season, the Bucs were counting on quality offensive production from their "Big 3" senior guards in Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and Micah Williams (Manchester) ... All three have had double-figure scoring seasons in the past ... However, so far this season, six of the Bucs' seven losses have coincided with poor output from the trio .
Bartow among best in the country over last five years
When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
Bucs help bolster A-Sun to strong RPI standings
With a pair of signature wins already this season, the ETSU men's basketball team - along with other members of the Atlantic Sun Conference - is doing its part to put the league in some impressive company on the national hoops stage. ... With wins over Atlantic 10 Conference stalwart Dayton and Southeastern Conference West Division favorite Mississippi State, the Buccaneers have helped the A-Sun generate plenty of waves across the board in the national RPI rankings. As a result, one month into the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season, the Atlantic Sun Conference is ranked ahead of other mid-major leagues including the Southern, Ohio Valley, Big South, West Coast, Mid-American, WAC and Sun Belt. ... The A-Sun remains among the top half of the conferences in the country. CollegeRPI.com ranks the A-Sun 14th, immediately behind the Horizon, Conference USA and Missouri Valley, and ahead of the conferences mentioned above. Against the Southern, Big South, Sun Belt and Ohio Valley conferences, the A-Sun owns a 15-8 mark. ... The conference has more than held its own against the BCS conferences. With ETSU's win at Mississippi State, the conference grabbed its fifth win against the "Power-6" leagues. No conference eligible for consideration for the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll owns as many BCS wins as the A-Sun. The five wins represent the most for the league since 2007-08.

Kayeleen Hamblin from Kayeleen's Creation Corner is hosting her first ever blogfest, yay! So of course I had to jump in and join ('cause I'm crazy like that, but also to support her). All I need to do is share why I write. What is it that makes me clock in less than the recommended 8 hours of sleep just so I can write? Why suffer carpal tunnel syndrome at the keyboard? Why do I get glassy-eyed in mid-conversation with someone because an idea had gripped my brain vise-like and wouldn't let go?
I was a reader first before I became a writer. But I've always had a penchant for writing, even early on in my childhood. Or at least I liked telling stories. My audience? A bunch of sniffly cousins all younger than I was (it's all about hierarchy among cousins, of course. Haha!). They'd sit around me and I remember spinning tales off the books I've read, mostly from the Arabian tales (Scheherazade copycat). Later on, my sister and I would write down short fiction that were very melodramatic and made us cry (forbidden love and death...very Romeo and Juliet).
High school came with a lot of teen angst and insecurity. I wrote poem after poem to deal with my inner drama. They weren't anything grand or exceptional, but they comforted me. Needless to say, English was my best subject at school. My teachers would borrow my pieces to be shown as examples.
All through the years, I've always found time to read. While I was carrying my second child, it came to me that I'm capable of writing a freaking entire book if I'd put my mind to it. Why not, right? Others have certainly done it, and I could do it too. So I wrote. Feverishly, I might add. My sister (the same one who used to write Romeo and Juliet spinoffs) read my 400-page ms and loved it. Thank heaven for wonderful sisters!
I would later chopped this beloved first draft until I had to concede and put it to rest in a folder. Other ideas would come and go, and that exhilarating feeling of writing would slap me happy. I do write for pure enjoyment--whether I get published or not, as long as I'm happy slaving away at my PC, I keep on writing. I know people snort when they hear a writer say, "I'm not doing this for the money". But I'm not. I'm blessed enough to enjoy being a stay-at-home mom and being able to pursue writing as a creative outlet. To get published would be a bonus, certainly, but the money is not my ultimate goal. (You can throw rocks if you want to, but this is my truth.)
Thanks Kayeleen, for this opportunity to share. Check out the other responses by clicking on the picture:

I love the Arabain Nights! Have you read Shadow Spinner by Susan Fletcher? It's a really neat story about this girl who end up meeting and helping Scheherazade. One of my favorites :)
I used to tell my siblings stories while they played in the bathtub. I don't remember when I stopped telling oral stories, but now I pretty much only write them.

Awesome post! If a writer IS doing it for the money, then they're in for a big surprise, lol ;o) Writing is definitly one of those things you have to do because you enjoy it, especially since more often than not, self-gratification is the only form of payment a writer is going to get ;o)

I just read a great post yesterday about how people need to remember that they are writing for fun. Sure it's hard, exhausting, and you can get awfully frustrated with it and yourself, but writers (the good ones, to me) write because it makes them happy to create that world or scenario in a way no one else can.
I love to see people passionate like you are in this post :)

Aaah to have a captive audience of sniveling family members ;) I love your story. It makes my heart happy. It's fun to see that we all share so much in this journey :)
- June 29, 2011 at 9:07 AM
- Kayeleen Hamblin said...
My little sister and I were always telling stories. We were the oldest 2 of 8 sibs, so it was a captive audience for me, too.
I love the freedom that comes from writing. It's such a great outlet.
Thanks for participating in the blogfest!

I think some people are born story tellers and you are one of them.
Writing is the best cure for teen angst and more teenagers should be doing it :)

I love hearing your stories, my dear Cherie!
I was such a reader as a child that I would carry books down the street and wander into ditches. No kidding. I also read at the dinner table (and my very kind parents LET me do it!)

I read a post somewhere recently where agented and published writers spoke about reality not living up to the dream. I'm wondering if it's because they had their focus on the money. Money is a bonus, as you say. :)
- June 29, 2011 at 11:37 AM
- Beverly Diehl said...
I was seeing a vision, in my mind, as you wrote of playing Scheherazade to your cousins, of L.M. Alcott and her sisters putting on their plays. What a wonderful and rich beginning to your writers' journey. Totally jealous here.
Somebody (Heinlein?) wrote that because money is a symbol of value received, we would be foolish to disdain it - but I'm 100% with you in that writing for money alone cannot satisfy.
Happy to have e-met your through this blogfest. Writing in Flow

I completely understand not doing it for the money- in truth where exactly is the money as we slave away on edits, drafts, word choices...not there unless you are a best seller.
- June 29, 2011 at 12:02 PM
- Christine Tyler said...
I think a lot of people who are in it solely for the money find themselves sadly disappointed. If not in the money, then in themselves.
I love your backstory with your sister :D
- June 29, 2011 at 2:48 PM

I also wrote about not being in it for the money. Those who don't write, have no idea how many hours go into it. You have to do it because you love it. I'm glad you have that opportunity and that love!

Wonderful post and I thought it was very sweet how you spent the time to tell your sniffling cousins stories. I can relate to your journey for many reasons. And being a stay-at-home mum myself, I'm glad hubby is indulgent of my current fixation with writing. :-)
- June 29, 2011 at 5:43 PM
- T.S. Welti said...
I absolutely believe that you write for the love of it. There is nothing more exhilarating than creating a new world of characters and settings and watching them interact until something explosive occurs. If I was married, I would probably still be writing for pleasure. For me, writing is an uncontrollable urge. It's an obsession that I deal with as best I can. Fortunately, I'm also in the situation where I either have to give it my all or go back to half-assing it the way I did for so many years. I'm in sink or swim mode, and it's pretty exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.
You have a beautiful writing voice, Cherie. I hope you never stop writing for us. You WILL be published. I am certain of it.

Thanks for sharing. I love it when I hear people write "feverishly." And shouldn't we snort at anyone who thinks writers actually make any money?

- Marewolf said...
My sister and I used to spin stories as well, she was always more creative than myself, so I thought for sure she would be the writer! I still try to get her to write (or at least give me ideas that I can steal mwahahaha!) but she has too much going on all the time. Sigh.
Anyways, love your post mamacita! :-)

Great post - yes sometimes it's hard to remember why we write. But reading is definitely a part of that. Making time to read is one of the things that will make us better writers - and just happier people, IMO.

Great post ! And I respect YOUR truth that you do it out of love ... you are obviously passionate about the craft !

Nothing wrong with writing for you! I had no delusions I'd make a bunch of money as an author.

Your journey into writing sounds a little like mine in places, though I was a poor reader until very recently and now I devour books. I like how you describe your journey. :O)

Hey Cherie!
I'm late to the party (was out of town), but loved reading your response. I'm with you on the writing for the sake of writing...even if I never get published, I'll never stop. It's the joy of the creation that keeps me going.
Thanks for sharing! (New follower here!)

Breedlove grew up in Austin, Texas, where he was a senior at Westlake High School. He lived with his parents and two siblings. In 2009, he began making video blogs on YouTube, in which he dealt out relationship advice to his peers.
Breedlove created the popular OurAdvice4You channel on YouTube in November 2010
At an early age, Breedlove had been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a muscle heart disease which made it difficult for his heart to pump blood, ultimately leading to cardiac issues. His doctor believed that Breedlove would not survive past his early teenage years.
Please watch :
Breedlove died from a cardiac arrest on the night of Christmas Day, a week after he made his final video on YouTube. That night he was to have a Christmas dinner at his home with his family and friends, but instead he fell into a fatal cardiac arrest. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital, but were unable to resuscitate him
I usually don't post stuff like this but just start your year differently. Stop complaining, stop bitching, stop moaning and just be happy.

This town meeting warrant from Deerfield, Massachusetts, dated January of 1781 shows that early town meetings sometimes dealt with national and international issues. This warrant calls on the town meeting to instruct the local representative to the Massachusetts General Court (legislature) to support peace negotiations with the British. Prior to their defeat at the battle of Yorktown (October, 1781), the British had proposed a peace that accepted most American demands but did not grant independence. The town meeting resolution in Deerfield was promoted by local "loyalists" (British sympathizers) and passed by a vote of 34 to 31. It essentially supported the British position. The same town meeting majority also had resisted voting support for George Washington's army a few weeks earlier. The leaders of the Massachusetts General Court rejected the Deerfield petition and local loyalists were threatened with arrest.

Fair point.
You know, thinking about it, if there is a problem, the solution is seldom going to be found down the barrel.
I can only think of two times in my shooting/spudding experience when I've had a problem when it's something to do with the barrel.
The first time was when I fired something from an old PVC cannon, and it dug into the barrel walls and jammed. Eventually, the barrel had to be discarded - it was actually shortly after that I switched to copper barrels, in which, nothing has yet jammed.
The second was when I was cleaning my air rifle barrel, and I was using homemade cleaning pellets rolled out of kitchen towel - I rolled one a bit large, and it jammed in the choke. Quite easily fixed with a bore pushrod from my cleaning kit.
Both times the noise made was a very distinctive thud, and it was obvious what had happened, mostly because there was no real report to speak of.
@Turbosuper: Good point, but in my opinion, you should really take more care with a spudgun, simply because, as a homemade device, it's less reliable and predictable.

I agree with Wayne, if its something out of the ordinary our defence mechanism kicks in. Also I think as we grow up we seem to be brainwashed into thinking that all spirits all evil and can hurt us and send us to all damnation.
I guess its the all too familar saying "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself"

Posted 08 May 2007 - 09:06 PM
I guess as we're so used to - and so involved in - the everyday mundane world and how it works, it can be pretty unsettling when something happens which seems to defy the physical laws we take so for granted.
Thanks for your replies. I was hoping that didn't come off as too stupid a question.
Posted 08 May 2007 - 09:51 PM
I don't think I've thought about it too much before this topic. I'm not sure I've ever been scared by reading something, even something that is related as true. (talking paranormal stuff here) I think that anything that triggers our imagination towards dark things can cause fear. And the more we dwell on something that frightens us, the more afraid of it we can become.

I do not dispute the fight or flight therory, but as we become more acceptable to a higher tolerance of fright, could this not also affect our feelings of fear when we encountered the unexplained? I feel less afraid now when I experience an unknown phenomenom because I replace the urge to run with the desire to sate my curiousity. I think that some of this is a direct result of being desensatize by the movies and shows I have watched, as well as a better understanding of what is out there and what it can or can not do to me. Some of it also stems from overcoming the "flight need" to avoid losing my life. I still maintain a slight amount of reservation, but my need to observe, comprehend and analyze an event keeps me from running!
Now trying to understand the mysteries of the IRS and how it works........that is scary!

For instance we were in my favorite haunted location the other day and I happened to glance up and see what I swore was the blonde top of a little kids head passing by.
Okay that sounds weird, He/she walked by some railing and all that was visible was the top of their head.
I was like, "wow" I saw a ghost and then by brain stared feeding me stuff about catching things out of the corner of you eye (I saw it straight on), it was just something else that you matrixed (The was not actually anything over there that ws pale nd roundish), blah blah blah.
I hate my conditioning. LOL
Okay I'm off subject a bit.
What I eally wanted to say was that it's not really ghosts that scare the juice outta me, but UFO's.
Ghosts, for the most part, are at least human.

We as humans have a tendency to fear the unkown or outside of our range of everyday experiences.
I believe this is mainly this reason. I mean, science is the number one subject in the world. Philosophy before that. Religion is often a cause of war. Why? Because humans want order, dominance, and knowledge. For some reason we're obsessed with those things. We get afraid when something happens that is beyond our logical capacity to which we have accomodated. I completely believe that a lot of skeptics don't believe in ghosts because they don't want to out of fear of being less knowing than they thought, not being as dominant, and having their subjective view of life disordered. When a lot of people think of ghosts, they get that sense that there is more to life and themselves than they know, and it's talking to them face to face. That's pretty scary. Amoebas don't look like your dead aunt Sally and don't say "hi" from the "other" side. That's why so many people fall back to such science.

The Best Dentists in Minnesota
Need help finding a dentist? Look no further. Minnesota Monthly presents a list of Best Dentists in the state, as selected by their peers. Whether it's a routine checkup or specialized work, this list can help you narrow down the options and find the right professional for your dental health needs.
We partnered with Professional Research Services, who contacted more than 2,500 licensed general dentists and dental specialists in the State of Minnesota and asked who the dental experts would recommend with their own family's dental care. Each dentist was allowed to recommend up to three colleagues in every given dental specialty (general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics). Once the ballots were complete, nominees were carefully evaluated on the basis of survey results, the legitimacy of their license, and their current standing with the Minnesota Board of Dentistry.

NIRSPEC is a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph designed for Keck II. It can be used with or without AO.
NIRSPEC was designed and built by the UCLA Infrared Laboratory under the leadership of PI Ian McLean. The instrument is optimized as a high-resolution spectrograph for the wavelength region from 0.95-5.5 μm. The resolving power (R=λ/Δλ) is 25,000 (12 km/s) for a slit width of Θ=0.43 arcseconds (3 pixels). Alternatively, the RΘ product is 10,800. A special low-resolution mode of R=2,500 is also provided. NIRSPEC has 3 detectors: a standard CCD camera for acquisition and offset guiding, a 1-2.5 μm near-infrared "slit-viewing" camera - the SCAM, and the primary 1024 x 1024 IR array for the spectrograph itself.

Massachusetts led the country in regulating the labor of children. In 1842, it restricted child labor in factories to 10 hours a day; by 1874 this was extended to minors under 18 and women. To further restrict the working hours of women and children, in 1900 the commonwealth limited the number of hours they worked per week. This in effect created the weekend, since factories had to either cut down the hours worked per day or give workers whole days off, which is what they eventually did. Despite popular belief, at that time many working class women worked long hours for pay outside the home. The inclusion of women in these laws was part of the general reform movement of the Progressive Era, which sought to protect what they saw as the more vulnerable members of society.

Phu @ Buffet Tradeshow
The name Phu in short is a self-created lingo. Entirely imaginative and not based upon adherence to actuality.
3D art is his pursuit, especially in vinyl customizing. Phu's Phuturistic concept is a manifestation through his artistic form of thought and personalized treatment in which he exercises the habit of recycling.
And it's with this Phuturistic niche, Phu's customed vinyls have been commissioned and showcased in various international exhibitions and shows worldwide.

The 20th IIHF Continental Cup kicked off this weekend in Sofia, Bulgaria. For the first round, we find the usual countries represented there with Bulgaria's Irbis-Skate SK, Turkey's Zeytinburnu Belediyesi SK, Serbia's HK Partizan Beograd and Israel's HC Bat Yam.
Zeytinburnu assured top spot for themselves as soon as Saturday night thanks to two wins over Irbis and Partizan. After even play in the first two periods of both games, the Turks overrun their opponents in the third one with 4 or 5 unanswered goals.
Bat Yam did very well in their games against Partizan and Irbis. They led by 2 goals with 14 minutes remaining and came 30 seconds away from overtime against Partizan. They also led at the start of the third tier versus Irbis before losing 6-4. But they are finishing with a trashing at Zeytinburnu's hands at the moment.
With the MOL Liga project going on, Partizan can't really be a contender anymore without some reinforcements form HK Beograd. Yet I think they are doing fine considering. Irbis did well last year in Bulgarian league, thanks to players recruited at CSKA's expense but without the Russian imports CSKA had they can't do as well in Continental Cup. These two teams will face each other for second place this afternoon.

Chancellor's Column - February 2004
Higher Ed's Open Book
One of the things I like best about my fellow Oklahomans is that we are willing to make public investments when we believe they will pay off in the future. Right now, for example, about 170,000 students are attending Oklahoma's public higher education institutions to receive the kind of education they will need to help our state in the future, and the majority of them will stay in our state. All of us help make that education possible because we believe it is the right thing to do.
Another thing about Oklahomans – we want to make sure we get our money's worth.
Well, I'm proud to tell you that when it comes to higher education, you do get value for your investment.
Oklahoma's public institutions are accountable, using many different methods that have been developed over the years to be certain that our students get the education they need and that our state gets the results it wants from its investment in higher education.
The system isn't perfect, of course, but when problems do occur, we deal with them promptly, assisted by the policies and procedures that have been established over the years. In fact, our outstanding record of accountability is a model that sets us apart from many others in the nation.
Since 1991, each public institution has measured the results of their instruction. This includes post-graduate job placement, program outcomes and student satisfaction. Some of these and other factors, such as retention and graduation, are considered in a financial incentive program for institutions called performance funding. These funds go to public colleges and universities who meet the standards that promote the goals of the Brain Gain 2010 initiative to increase the percentage of Oklahoma's population who have degrees.
We compile information from these and other reports to prepare a biennial system report card that has been recognized nationally for being comprehensive, containing national benchmarks, and setting goals. The next report card is due out later this year.
Oklahoma's track record for accountability led us to be chosen as one of five states who are participating in the National Forum on College-Level Learning pilot project to assess learning outcomes. Most of the public and four of the private Oklahoma higher education institutions administered a test to determine what students have learned prior to graduation. The universities also surveyed alumni on the impact of their college educations after graduation.
All of us are entitled to know that our public institutions are providing the services they promise and that they are using resources wisely. Oklahoma's higher education system takes that expectation for accountability seriously.

Goldenseal Root
Goldenseal Root, or Hydrastis canadensis, is among those natural herbs that are members of the buttercup family. Native to the northeastern woodland biome of New England, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces of Canada (hence the name Hydrastis canadensis), Goldenseal Root is thick and knotted, with a yellowish color. It is a perennial plant that blooms in late May and early June, then bears a single raspberry-like fruit in the summer before it dies back in late September and October.
The active ingredients in Goldenseal Root are alkaloid in nature; excessive use of such herbs may result in gastro-intestinal irritation. Women who are pregnant and/or lactating as well as young children should avoid ingesting this herb. The effects and benefits of such Native American herbs have not been tested nor approved by the FDA; quality bulk herbs should be used under guidance of a licensed herbalist, naturopathic doctor or other medical professional.
Warning: Not to be used during pregnancy.

I felt a bit like a hippie in this outfit. The gladiator sandals, the breezy dress, the lace vest and the aviator sunglasses . . . It all really made me feel like I should have long tangled hair with a headband woven from fresh picked flowers. ;)
I got these sunglasses this weekend from Kohls and I love them. I've had the hardest time finding a pair of sunglasses that complement my face and haircut and these really seem to do it. Yay for aviators! ;)
I was commenting on a blog yesterday and realized that I use a lot of exclamation points! Ha, see there. =) It reminded me of the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine breaks up with her boyfriend over his lack of exclamation points in a note that he left her. I tend to use them everywhere and all the time! I'm kind of an animated person and I like to try to portray my exact feeling in my text as I do in conversation. Or maybe I'm just making excuses for sounding like a cheerleader. ;)
How about you? Are you a lover or exclamation points, too?
I'm linking up today with Monday Mingle!

Meet the Sound Blaster EVO, a headset that's amazing for audio. It comes with FullSpectrum 40mm drivers, and a dual microphone array for clear communications! Beyond that, connect it to your PC or Mac via USB to unlock a full suite of audio enhancement technology!
Featuring 40mm FullSpectrum drivers, the Sound Blaster EVO is the headset for amazing audio. With its dual microphone array, you can enjoy crystal clear communications. And if you're at home, plug it into your PC and Mac via USB and boot up the free Sound Blaster EVO Control Panel software to enjoy the full suite of advanced audio enhancement technology.
The headset's ear cups cover your ears entirely, passively cutting out external noise.
So, when you're out and about, what you hear is only the audio that matters most to you.
Get ready to unleash the full power and clarity of your audio.
Sound Blaster EVO's 40mm FullSpectrum audio drivers are capable of reproducing the full audible range of the audio spectrum, so you won't miss a beat.
Dual mic array removes background noise from your VOIP calls, guarantying pristine voice clarity even in noisy environments.
You can connect the headset to your PC or entertainment devices using the USB 2.0 connection, or the analog 3.5mm jack.
Use the included analog cable for direct connection to your portable media player, or swap it with your own cable of a different length.
Sound Blaster EVO Control Panel gives you advanced audio processing via your PC or Mac. You can adjust audio to your personalised liking.
You can also experience cinematic, virtual surround sound when you connect the headset to your PC or Mac!*
*Connect your EVO headset via USB to your PC or Mac and install Sound Blaster EVO Control Panel to enjoy virtual surround sound.
Welcome the arrival of the latest generation of console gaming! Get yourself ready to experience some unparalleled realistic gaming action by gearing up with the Sound Blaster EVO, compatible with the new Playstation®4 gaming console via USB.
To use this product with notebooks or PCs with separate audio and microphone connectors, you may use the Sound Blaster Audio/Mic Splitter Adapter (available separately).
The headset can be folded to about 70% of its original size, handy for when you need to chuck it in small spaces, like your bag perhaps.
Now it was time to put it to the test of SOUND! You see, I work a lot with sound. I actually make music in different genres for different artists so I could say that I have to know what good sound is. Well, the first impression of the sound, was that the bass was too loud to my taste. It affected the sound too much. Luckily Creative knows their customers, so they provided an interface where you can adjust the settings of the sound to your own liking. More bass, more surround (virtual), more depth. They even included an equalizer to really fine-tune the sound to your own liking.
I am amazed at the sound quality offered by the EVO, the sound clarity is unbelievable and the bass is so loud it makes your cheeks and nose vibrate! As a PC gamer the software for Windows has different sound profiles which cater to Gaming, Movies and Music which are fully editable and the first thing I done was reduce the bass which is mind-boggling! The ear pads are very soft and comfortable, the headset folds and fits in to the free case supplied, the microphone which is built in to the earpiece somehow works better than the traditional ones which stick out on a separate attachment and overall this headset is very stylish. This headset absolutely blows the Tactic 3D Rage (previous generation headset) out of the water!! I previously owned the Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Rage and found the ear pads too hard and the sound volume too low when used with a 3.5mm jack vs. USB.
An extremely slick well made looking folding headset, a very sturdy build and not a wire in sight apart from the one you plug into your player. The sound is crisp and loud and the accompanying software has some nice whistles and bells to play with. The only small points that detract a mark from the headset are the slightly small ear cups that could be larger to enclose rather than press my ears in and the usb>USB cable is quite stiff and clunky, imo it should made from very flexible multi strand soft wire. Apart from those small points the Evo is top notch!

Paul was willing to pay the repairs on the vehicle, but Advantage wanted almost double the amount. After we posted his story, Paul was able to get in touch with a higher-up at Advantage who passed him along directly to the Chairman. Here's what happened.

Sirus had barely completed her home run trot when all eyes at Patricia Wilson Stadium at Stetson University turned to the skies to watch the space shuttle head into space.
As dramatic as that historical event was, it couldn't upstage the Lady Bisons who beat Kennesaw State 8-0 in the Atlantic Sun Tournament to stay alive in the race for the championship Friday afternoon. Kennesaw State, the No.3 seed, ended its season with a 27-26 record.
"It was kind of a neat thing," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said in reference to the space shuttle launch. "None of us had ever seen a space shuttle launched this close to us.
"At this point we feel very confident with where we are right now. We came out with a tremendous amount of energy. Our bench was such a spark in keeping everyone going."
The Lady Bisons will face Stetson, 2-0, at 5 today. Stetson, the No. 2 seed, is the tournament host.
"The biggest challenge right now is pitcher Amanda Lindsey," Ryman said. "They rely on her so much. Nicole Peltz has done some good things for them too, but Lindsey is their workhorse. She is their senior and they are going to continue to go to her."
Stetson won the final game Thursday night, beating Kennesaw State 4-3 with all four runs scored in the seventh.
"They came from behind last night and they probably have some momentum from that," Ryman said. "Stetson doesn't have a loss so that is also a big challenge.
"Our girls are very motivated when they play Stetson. It seems like we play them all of the time. They know us and we know them. I expect it to be a battle."
Christen Campbell, Abby Keese, Mollie Mitchell and Sirus each hit home runs for the Lady Bisons who finished with 12 hits. The four home runs tied the single-game season high set against Tennessee State April 7.
"We hope to continue hitting the way we did against Kennesaw State," Ryman said. "I think we built back a lot of confidence." Six of the hits were by the first three batters in the line-up _ Lauren Dortwegt, Mackenzie Tucker and Sirus with two each. Keese also added two hits.
"When Lauren and Mac get on base it immediately puts pressure on the opposing team." Ryman said. "I am really proud of Abby today. She battled and battled and had some real positive at bats."
Dortwegt used only one arm for one of her hits, something she is known to do on occasion.
"Lauren is phenomenal," Ryman said. "She continues to do things that make me stand back in awe.
"She is a true triple threat at the plate that you have to constantly worry about. She can swing away. She has a home run this year. She has had quite a few deep balls. She can drop a bunt. She can push the ball through the infield."
Whitney Kiihnl struck out 11 batters on the way to her second win in three attempts for the Lady Bisons. She has finished in double figures in strikeouts in all three games. Alaina Jacobson closed out the game with a scoreless seventh inning.
"We are going to look to using Alaina and Christen as needed the rest of the way," Ryman said. "I feel comfortable with either one of them on the mound."
It was the 28th shutout of the season for the Lady Bisons, 46-11 overall. The 46 wins tie for the second highest record for the Lady Bisons. They won 46 in 1998 in the NAIA era under coach Andy Lane.
Ryman wanted her team to be more aggressive. They responded by scoring three runs in the second inning.
Campbell blasted a solo shot to left field to give the Bisons a 1-0 lead and Keese slammed her 14th home run of the season over the center field fence. Caroline Mason reached base on an error on pop fly by Kennesaw State's second baseman. She went to second on the play and advanced to third on a sacrifice by Kiihnl. Mason scored when Lauren Dortwegt dropped a single into shallow right field.
The home run by Keese was her 14th of the season. It marks the third time in four seasons that she has hit 14 home runs in a season. She has a school career record of 51.
The Lady Bisons added one in the fifth. Sirus drove in Kiihnl with a single to center. Kiihnl reached base on an infield hit to the shortstop.
Kennesaw State replaced starting pitcher Abbey Meixel with Amanda Burns to start the sixth inning.
Mitchell welcomed Burns to the mound with a home run to center field. It was her second homer of the tournament.
Sirus provided insurance with a three-run home run over the left center field fence in the seventh inning. It was the 15th home run of the season for Sirus, who leads the conference in that category. She finished with four RBI, also adding to her conference leading total.

Interview with Nick Wilcock, Managing Director of Credit Suisse in EMEA Regional Management, Chief Operating Officer for Russia and the CIS
Nick Wilcock is a Managing Director of Credit Suisse in EMEA Regional Management, based in Moscow. He is Chief Operating Officer for Russia and the CIS.
Mr. Wilcock joined Credit Suisse Financial Products (CSFP) in March 1992 and during his time with the Bank, has held a number of line and program management roles in the Operations, Product Control and Complex Product Support, Information Technology and Internal Audit departments of Credit Suisse First Boston and CSFP. Prior to that, Mr. Wilcock spent four years in the Audit group of Price Waterhouse and has also worked as a Chemical Engineering Project Manager at British Petroleum.
Mr. Wilcock holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Loughborough and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
What made you relocate and work in Russia for such an extended period of time?
- I arrived in Moscow in 2006 to help oversee the growth of our Russia Credit Suisse Franchise. Over the last 6 years we have seen significant change including, growth across all of our investment banking businesses, the establishment of an onshore Private Banking business and the development and implementation of a local broker Dealer to accompany our Bank. I have been at Credit Suisse for 20 years and usually changed role every 2 to 3 years so to be in one job for an extended period of time has been a new experience. However the challenge of being involved in this amount of change in a dynamic economic and regulatory environment has kept me energized and motivated and is the main reason for being here.
What differences do you see between work in Credit Suisse Moscow and London offices as well as other Credit Suisse offices all over the world?
- The London Office is much bigger than Moscow and as a result you rarely get exposure to the full breadth of Credit Suisse businesses and the departments that support them. In Moscow it's different, there is greater interaction and teamwork between businesses and the support departments are closer to the trading and client activity. In the Moscow office you are also more "hands-on" in terms of the whole life-cycle of a trade or a client deal. The uniqueness of the operating and regulatory environment also means that there is more autonomy of decision making since the expertise lies within Moscow and also a shorter chain of command.
What in your opinion is the most important quality a potential candidate should have in order to have a successful career in Credit Suisse?
- I think there are a number of qualities that you need to have both a successful and also an enjoyable career at Credit Suisse. Firstly since much of what we do is to provide client solutions you need to be creative, intellectually curious and also to have a keen analytical mind. Candidates also need to have to have strong interpersonal/communication skills, the ability to work hard under pressure and also be committed to producing a quality result to any task that they undertake. Finally you must enjoy working in a team and in a flexible, dynamic environment where much of what you do changes from day to day.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld an appeal by a company fighting to keep a chunk of lucrative broadcast spectrum that the government hopes to use to spur more competition in the country's closed telecommunications market.
The decision is a blow to Mexico's new government which is trying to shake up a telecom sector where regulatory efforts have long been stymied by court battles from entrenched players such as the world's richest man, Carlos Slim.
The government last year said it wanted to reclaim 68 licenses for the 2.5 gigahertz (GHz) band, of which media firm MVS Comunicaciones holds 42. To avoid having to return the spectrum, the company sought and was granted a court injunction.
A spokesman for the Supreme Court said it upheld the appeal against the bid to recover the 190 megahertz (MHz) that MVS controls of the 2.5 GHz band, which is ideal for servicing data-hungry devices such as tablets and smartphones.
The government decided to take back the spectrum after MVS and other companies failed to use it to develop high-speed networks, and was planning to resell it.
Analysts have estimated that the 190 MHz would be enough to service three companies roughly the size of Carlos Slim's America Movil, Mexico's top phone company.
President Enrique Pena Nieto presented a bill last month that aims to foment competition in the industry by allowing more foreign investment and by giving regulators the power to force dominant players in the market to sell assets.
His plan identified the 2.5 GHz band as a central part of a drive to improve the high speed data network. America Movil dominates the phone sector with about 70 percent of the mobile business and 80 percent of the fixed line market.
MVS called the decision "a precedent which undoubtedly will provide greater security and judicial certainty for investment and development of Mexico's Telecomunication sector." The firm said it was open to a continued dialogue with the government about optimizing spectrum use.
A spokesman for Mexico's Communications and Transport Ministry declined to comment.
The new telecoms bill passed the lower house of Congress last month and is due to be voted in the Senate this week.

Another day at CES, another bag filled with stuff. If you missed Monday's loot, be sure to check it out now. Plenty of goodies including some sweet Vista love after the jump.
Total Crap: Unlike his parent company, this little parrot beanie toy doesn't deliver Bluetooth. Instead, he delivers a Bono-esque message about saving the rainforest and protecting mother earth. Who knew Parrot was so eco-friendly?
Honorable Mentions: Simple and functional, the official bag of CES 2007 is missing the oh-so-unpopular wheels it gained last year. Unfortunately it came virtually empty, but beggars can't be choosers. If you ask nicely, the booth reps will even repair things like broken zippers for you.
I thought this gaudy cell phone bracelet was sure to be a bust, but in the chaos and noise of CES, I would have unknowingly missed a call from the boss had I not seen the flashing lights coming from the bracelet on the table. For your dedication and service, I salute you, hideous blinking wrist accessory.
Today's Winner: Vista! Well, sort of.
Microsoft's box o' goodies walks away the winner today for providing:
• A Vista media DVD with demos, tools and info about the upcoming OS
• A 128MB thumb drive
• A windows logo mouse pad
• A Belkin link tool for transferring old account settings to a new Vista machine
• A free one-day trial of T-Mobile's WiFi service

He already fielded a one-hop throw from third for a force and started a GIDP, all in the first inning. Looks pretty comfortable there so far. The 3B who made that throw was Russell Martin, who is starting there for the fourth time while Ardoin catches. … Dodgers stole THREE bases in the bottom of the first and DIDN'T SCORE. Now that's hard to do.

The Bisons scored in five of the nine innings on Tuesday, but it was not enough as they were defeated 8-6 by Austin Peay.
After Austin Peay jumped out to an early 1-0 first inning lead, the Bisons responded with a run of their own on a Shane Simpkins RBI single.
However, Austin Peay broke through against Bisons starter, Mike Zenko, plating four runs in the second to drive Zenko from the game, and take a commanding 5-1 lead.
The Bisons got two of the runs back in the third, using an RBI double by Blake Bratcher and an RBI single by Ryan Wilkins to pull within two.
The following inning, Jorge Gutierrez, pulled the Bisons one run closer, using a sacrifice fly to bring the score to 5-4.
Unfortunately, Austin Peay's offense wasn't done, scoring two runs against Bisons' reliever, Jordan Baron, in the fourth and another in the fifth.
The Bisons got one run back in the sixth when Ben Williams scored on a balk, and added another in the ninth on an RBI groundout by Bratcher to bring the score to 8-6, but it was too little too late.
Zenko received the loss to drop his record to 0-1. Four Bisons had multiple hits in the game, with Joseph, Bratcher, Sanders, and Simpkins recording two each. The Bisons actually outhit Austin Peay 12 to 9.
The Bisons will return to action tomorrow, when they travel to Indiana, to take on Evansville at 5 p.m. Right-hander Dylan Ray is expected to take the mound for the Bisons, in his first start of the season.
