City Championship goes to last pitch

Madera City Champions and Madera American Little League champion Lee’s Concrete celebrate with their rings and trophys after defeating Madera National champions Kiwanis, 4-3, Saturday night.

Guni Grewal leads Lee’s Concrete to sixth City title after 4-3 win over Kiwanis

Kiwanis loaded the bases in the top of the sixth inning trailing 4-3.

The Kiwanis batter drew three straight balls from Lee’s Concrete pitcher Frankie Espejo. Another ball and the Madera National Little League champions would tie the game.

Espejo came back with a pair of strikes. With two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, Espejo closed out the game with the strike out to secure the 4-3 victory Saturday and give Lee’s Concrete manager Guni Grewal his sixth Madera City Championship after his eighth Madera American Little League championship.

“I was worried at the last pitch, especially after he threw three balls,” Grewal said. “He came back with three strikes. We had faith in him. That’s why we put him on the mound.”

“It’s baseball. Lee’s is a good team,” Kiwanis manager George Reyes said.

Lee’s Concrete scored four runs in the third inning and Espejo made them stand up, tossing the final three innings in relief for the save. He allowed two runs and struck out nine batters.

Starter Noah Castro allowed a home run to Mason Kemmer in the first inning. Castro allowed one other hit and struck out seven in three innings.

“We were confused about the Tournament of Championship,” Grewal said. “We were trying to save him for that.”

Kemmer shut down Lee’s Concrete after they got to starter Andrew Rodriguez. Kemmer closed the game by not allowing a hit over the final three innings with eight strikeouts.

“All year long, we went with how the boys felt,” Reyes said. “They told me how they feel. I asked him and asked how he felt. He said he was a little tired.”

Rodriguez led all hitters with three hits for Kiwans. He combined with Kemmer for five of Kiwanis’ six hits.

Meanwhile, Castro led Lee’s Concrete with two hits, a run scored and an RBI.

With two outs in the first inning, Kemmer hit the second pitch he saw over the scoreboard advertisements behind the right centerfield fence for an early 1-0 lead.

Castro settled down from there. He struck out six of the next eight batters he faced to the fourth inning.

Lee’s Concrete scored all the runs they needed in the third inning. Jorge Gutierrez was hit with the first pitch of the inning. Espejo singled to left and an error allowed Gutierrez to head to third and Espejo to second.

Abel Martinez reached on an error and Gutierrez scored the game-tying run. Castro followed with a single to drive in Espejo with the go-ahead run.

Kemmer came in relief and struck out the next batter. However, a wild pitch and a passed ball to Jeremiah Montes scored Martinez and Castro for a 4-0 lead.

Kemmer struck out the side to get out of the third and struck out the first six batters he saw and eight of the 10 batters he faced.

Kiwanis chipped away at the lead. Rodriguez greeted Espejo on the mound with a single up the middle in the fourth. Jimmy Barrios singled to right and Rodriguez advanced to third. A wild pitch to Carson Brunolli allowed Rodriguez to score.

The MNLL champions sent Lee’s Concrete’s fans to the edge of their seats in the top of the sixth inning.

“That’s what kind of baseball we played all year long,” Reyes said. “People have counted us out all year. When they count us out, that’s when we step up. They are good ball players and excellent boys.”

Kemmer led off the inning with a single. Rodriguez followed with another single. Barrios hit a grounder to second, but the second baseman couldn’t make a decision where to get an out and the bases were loaded.

A wild pitch to Cody Wilkerson drove in Kemmer to cut the Lee’s Concrete lead to one.

After a strikeout, Grewal decided to intentionally walk Brunolli to load the bases again with Kiwanis’ No. 8 and No. 9 batter due up.

“We saw what they did in the inning before that and went by the book,” Grewal said.

Espejo struck out the No. 8 batter on three pitches for the second out of the inning.

However, he threw three balls to the No. 9 batter. Espejo ended the dramatics with three straight strikes to end the game and secure a 4-3 victory.

Girls Love a Guy Who Can Keep His Cool

Vann aka @Skateboard_V is here with a must read "manly" review.  After much talk over the latest Axe commercials and ad campaigns he decided to give it a try himself.  But who in their right mind would think a man would actually like the smell of Axe?  Let me tell ya, I haven't heard the end of the so called "Axe Effect" ever since he's tried the new scent Cool Metal. ~MakeupNotDown

I’ve made fun of Axe and it's ad campaigns in the past.  I "LOL" as I read the can's instructions "spray on underarms, chest and neck."  Apparently boys and and men are overzealous with application.  But I’m not here to talk about grooming habits, only to review what scents come my way.

Cool Metal has a powdery, fresh, clean scent which is very neutral and not overpowering like most of Axe's other scents.  It smells no less expensive than colognes you'll find at Nordstrom or Macy's that cost ten times more.  In fact I find it just as wearable as Ralph Lauren Polo (approach the scent with an open mind.)  After application the scent sticks to the skin for a very long time.  Cool Metal by Axe is an everyday scent for the "everyday" guy.  Whether your in chucks and a v neck, or a button down and a tie.  Axe body spray carries over appropriately for any occasion.

Remember, it’s not what you wear, it’s how much you wear of it.

All things sexy and cool,

Making Colorful Liner Wearable!

How does the saying go?  Time flies when you're having fun....It's been a while since I've posted a blog but I'm back!

Here's a quick look I did for a birthday party over the weekend.  In my mind I wanted something that looked smokey and dark.  But somehow I picked up green eye liner and decided to play with some color.  Notice that I didn't use a gel eye liner like Blacktrack by MAC to conceal the false lashes I put on.  I wanted my eyes to appear as neat as possible.  I'm happy with the look and will definitely have to experiment some more.  BTW this look was done with the MAC Colourizations collection.  Enjoy!

MAC Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation - NC44
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder Medium Dark - on top of foundation
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder Give Me Sun - contour
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder Gold Deposit - temples
MAC Blot Powder - Dark

Painterly Paint Pot - lid
MAC Arena Eyeshadow - lid and brow bone
MAC Brun Eyeshadow - crease

Pro Palette Eye Shadow x 2 Double Feature 3
MAC Deep Chocolate (Colourizations collection)- outer V
MAC Midtowe Eyeshadow (Colourizations collection)- lower lash line

MAC Eye Khol Minted - lower lash line
MAC Espresso Eyeshadow - eyebrow
MAC Haute and Naughty Lash Mascara
MAC False Lashes #7
Duo Lash Adhesive

As you can see the green eye liner is very wearable.  Don't be afraid of using color eye liner, it can be done in a way that looks very natural.  Thoughts?

Backpack for Laravel page_or_link field

I have started using the Backpack for Laravel recently. It is an excellent CRUD generator, does not get in your way, and with the latest repeatable field is a great candidate for my “go-to” backend manager.

I was making a menu for a new website, and tried “page_or_link” field, copy/pasted the syntax from the documentation, but it would not update the page_id or link fields. Googled around, it seems that no one has had this problem (???).

So I got to digging into the Backpacks Menu Manager plugin and found that the correct syntax for the name field is 'name' => ['type', 'link', 'page_id']. So, the correct field type code for setupCreateOperation() function is:

    'name' => ['type', 'link', 'page_id'],
    'label' => 'Type',
    'type' => 'page_or_link',
    'page_model' => '\Backpack\PageManager\app\Models\Page'

Five ways to jazz up workouts

Try something different! Matt doing his own special version of push-ups

Try something new! Matt with his own version of push-ups

Variety is the spice of life as the saying goes, and working out is no different.

Not only does trying new exercises prevent sessions becoming a snooze-fest, it also keeps you challenged and helps avoid that dreaded fitness plateau.

Here is a list of five rip-snorting training techniques that you might not have seen before, with videos of yours truly giving them a whirl.

1) Dumbbell thrusters: a great full-body resistance exercise, which will also get the heart and lungs going.

2) Barbell overhead press: perfect for strengthening and sculpting the shoulders, with the back and arms joining the party as well.

3) Tuck burpees: a high-intensity jumping exercise, which will challenge just about every muscle in your body.

4) Speed ladder routines: stepping in an out of the rungs is a fun way to get those legs moving and work up a sweat.

5) Plyo push-ups: fab for developing explosive strength and power in the chest (the clap is optional)!

Hopefully that’s given you some ideas to brighten up your workout. If you need any other fitness tips, please post a comment on this blog, or get in touch on social media via the links below.

For the most part, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a continental climate. This means hot summers; with temperatures regularly reaching 35 °C. Winters are severe with much snow. Only the south, including the well-known place Mostar, differs. The climate there is more Mediterranean with milder winters. Neum is the country’s only seaside resort. The centre of the country is mountainous with winter skiing. The area around Sarajevo, with the popular ski resort Mount Jahorina, has a good snow guarantee.

Olaf Stuut 'Coral Limbo' Ltd. Edition 12" Grey Vinyl

A1. Schizophrenic Cuttlefish
A2. Eclectic Eel
B1. Anemone Valley
B2. Coral Limbo

Cover Art Joan Salo

microCastle begins the fall season by welcoming Olaf Stuut to the label for his debut artist showcase. Based in Amsterdam, the Dutch producer has been a fixture of the electronic underground for over a decade. Uniquely transcendent, Olaf’s music is hugely anticipated by his fans and highly regarded by his contemporaries, leading him to remix some of electronic music’s most revered artists, namely Max Cooper, Minilogue and The Acid, while also landing him releases on the world’s trendiest records labels, most notably Connected Frontline, Engrave, Infectious (PIAS), Last Night On Earth and Atomnation, the latter of which operates as his primary home. Now following a remix for Christian Löffler’s Ki Records, Olaf makes his microCastle debut with ‘Coral Limbo’.

For Olaf music has always been about storytelling, one where meditative themes, exotic percussion and arcane rhythms unite in a blend of melody and colour. Never one to follow trends, the Amsterdam resident is decidedly unpredictable, following no discernible path with his creations, rather translating a spiritual message that transcends the confines of convention. Comprised of four tracks, the 'Coral Limbo' collection is a blend of esoteric design, psychedelic storyboards and analog electronics. Beginning with the organic drums and astral narrative of ‘Schizophrenic Cuttlefish’, before shifting energy into the spastic funk and retro synth styling's of ‘Eclectic Eel’. Much like Olaf’s live sets where emotive segues are at a premium, the narrative evolves into the tonal creativities and modular intensity of ‘Anemone Valley’, before eventually melting down into the indie-esque moods and dubbed out rhythms of the EP’s closer and title selection ‘Coral Limbo’. It rounds out what is an inspired collection of music from the Dutch artist, one which carries a unique sonic aesthetic; innovative and thought provoking throughout, capturing the imagination of the listener and thus resonating on multiple levels. For Olaf it is a uniquely thematic anthology, one which furthers the sentiment that in many ways nature holds the key to our intellectual, artistic, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

Middleton’s boys and girls cross country teams have been models of consistency for years now.

They’ve been dominant forces in the Big Eight Conference. They’ve shined in the postseason and been staples at the state meet.

But the 2014 Cardinals might be poised for their greatest levels of success in quite some time. Last Saturday’s star-studded Midwest Invitational seems to be proof of that.

In the premier cross country event of the year, both of Middleton’s teams put on a show.

The Cardinals’ girls were second out of 30 teams, while Middleton’s boys were third out 37 teams. As good as Middleton’s programs have been, neither gender had cracked the top-three at this event since at least 2008.

“Finishing second and third at this meet is a huge deal,” Middleton co-coach Isaac Mezera said.

That’s for sure.

Middleton’s girls finished fourth at state the last two years, but hadn’t been higher than fourth at the Midwest Invite in that time. But the Cardinals changed that this year.

Dodgeville-Mineral Point won the meet with 125 points, while the Cardinals were a close second at 132. Madison West was third (133), while Wisconsin Lutheran (159) and Arrowhead (186) rounded out the top five.

“This was their dress rehearsal for the upcoming big meets such as conference and sectionals,” Middleton co-coach Cindy Bremser said. “This meet has always been a measuring stick for our season.”

If that’s the case, good things are on the horizon.

Middleton’s Bobbi Patrick finished 11th overall in 19:41, while Rachel Wians was 15th (19:53). Sam Valentine was 16th (19:56), Kallie Stafford was 32nd (20:32) and Jennifer Phillips was 58th (21:08).

“Our top girls got out fast which allowed them to avoid the large groupings of other runners,” Bremser said. “I feel this was a very successful outing filled with valuable experience.

“Right now I feel all the girls are measuring up. They work so hard, support each other and have a contagious positive attitude. Those three things will continue to see our team improve.”

Jenny Mangas also won the JV race (20:38) with a time that would have allowed the Cardinals to win the varsity title had she been up a level.

“She has been working very hard in practice and finally is running the times she has been working toward,” Bremser said of Mangas. “Her time would have made a difference in the outcome of the varsity race.”

Middleton’s boys also had a memorable day.

The Cardinals were 11th at this event last year, and still qualified for state. This time, Middleton had impressive performances up and down the lineup and was third overall.

Madison La Follette won the boys title with just 41 points, while Arrowhead was second at 126. Middleton was third (145), while MacArthur, Tx., (206) and Darlington (246) rounded out the top five.

“If we consider this meet a measuring stick for the season, then our boys are in a great place,” Mezera said.

Gus Newcomb had a sensational performance, finishing fourth overall in 16:22.

“Gus got out hard, just under five minutes for his first mile,” Mezera said. “He needs to work on his second mile, but he is in a great place at this point in the season."

Zach Shoemaker-Allen was Middleton’s second-best finisher and was 25th overall (16:53). Amazingly, it was just the second race of Shoemaker-Allen’s career.

“Our whole cross country family is glad Zach made the switch from football this fall,” Mezera said. “He's not only an extremely talented runner, he's a great teammate and motivator.”

Jack Rader was 27th (16:54), Hayden Johnston was 41st (17:12) and Christian Lindblom was 48th (17:14).

“Third at Midwest was a great accomplishment and a great statement to the state,” Mezera said. “The way our guys are training, Cindy and I know the best is yet to come.”

• On deck: Middleton is at the Big Eight Conference five-team challenge Tuesday at Janesville's Blackhawk Golf Course. The Cardinals are then at the Stoughton Invite Saturday at 9 a.m.

Ssssshhhhh !

Julia going Ssssshhhhh to her Mum_-1000 On Wednesday morning, keen photographer Aleksandra Cashman was on TV3’s Ireland AM Camera Club Final for September, with presenter Mark Cagney and competition judge Jenny McCarthy. Her photo (above) was of her daughter Julia telling her mum to Ssssshhhhh as she tried to put her baby doll to sleep in her buggy. In any event it was won by a beautiful photo of a horse with it’s head in a bedroom window having it’s nose rubbed by a little girl, but Ola was delighted to be there in any case. See the video on the TV3 Player.

  1. Sincere congratulations, Ola, on your superb appearance on TV3’s “Ireland AM”. The title to the magnificent photograph is so very appropriate. The black-and-white format is ideal where (as the television Presenter indicated) total focus is on Julia. You captured such a truly precious and wonderfully natural moment in time. Continuing success in the world of creative photography, Ola. And, of course, many thanks to Michael for uploading such a splendidly comprehensive feature on our website.

  2. Jane, Geraldine, Seán, thank you for your very kind words and congratulations. I’m very happy to be one of the three finalists. I never expected my photo to be chosen so quickly as it was only the second time I submitted a photo to TV3 competition.

  3. what a fantastic photo ger well done reminds me of our pony called molly when I was about 7 and sometimes I would sneek a small handful of hay into our front parlour and coax molly up the garden path for a nibble and stroke while standing on granmas special chairs as I thought she was out back doing the chickens but I was caught red handed and needless to say she gave me good hiding with the “dreaded broom” but I did get to stroke molly but never again did I try it with the fear of granmas weapon its amazing how a beautiful photo can bring back beautiful memories kindest regards from Andrew sheehan

Mommy Greenest TED Talk, Too

When I put Mommy Greenest on pause in 2017 to focus on consulting with companies and non-profits, I had no idea I would miss blogging so much. Now that I’m entering the next chapter of motherhood — the one where my kids go off to college and I wonder what the hell happened — I need a place to write about it, and Facebook doesn’t count.

In the last few years, my work promoting sustainability — and rallying against plastic pollution — has become more prominent, especially after two TEDx talks. I remember the first time I spoke publicly, when I addressed a group of supporters as Executive Director of Healthy Child Healthy World, and my legs were shaking so badly that I worried the audience would see the podium trembling. It wasn’t that I was afraid of speaking, but the subject matter was too important to screw up: I used the analogy of the canary in a coal mine to describe how the increase in children’s illnesses should alert us to the fact that toxic chemicals in the environment threaten us all.

I felt the same way about my 2017 TEDx talk. By that point, I had done many speaking engagements — one in front of 1,200 people! — but this was the first time that the full 18-minute talk had to be memorized. My idea worth sharing was, “Can one straw change the world?” Just like that first time at the podium, my overwhelming fear was that I would misspeak a statistic or inadvertently encourage viewers to misinterpret the theme.

As I shared in last year’s TEDxSantaBarbara, that’s exactly what happened.

About Mommy Greenest

Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff in Paris

Welcome! If you found me by choice, thank you—and if you accidentally stumbled in and are about to click away because you think I’m going to wax philosophical about the joys of dressing your kids in hemp, stick around.

I’m not here to preach. I might use biodegradable bathroom cleaner, but I’m not about to deny my three children the occasional hamburger—though I can’t help reminding them what factory farming is doing to the planet. I live by example, but I’m not a sustainabully. (Yes, I made that word up.)

Since I began publishing EcoStiletto in 2007 and blogging as Mommy Greenest in 2008 (the two merged under the MG umbrella in 2013), I’ve written about feeding my kids organic food, battling a lice infestation without chemicals (they won), DIYing natural perfume and disposing of off-gassing toys (“Doll? What doll?”).

When it comes to my three children, I follow the Precautionary Principle as established by the United Nations in 1982. It states that, “When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.”

I try to raise my family with this knowledge in mind, but—like all of us—sometimes I fail. So maybe I’m not the greenest mommy on the block. Who cares? The point is, I try to make daily choices that can help us create a healthier lifestyle—without judgement. And on this blog, I share information about those choices with you.

Hillary Clinton on immigration: ‘We can’t wait any longer’

LAS VEGAS – In perhaps the strongest remarks on immigration of her entire career, Hillary Clinton vowed Tuesday evening to “do everything I possibly can” to help immigrants – including going beyond President Obama’s executive actions to extend deportation relief to undocumented immigrants.

“We can’t wait any longer for a path to full equal citizenship,” Clinton declared during a roundtable meeting with young, undocumented immigrants at a high school here.

Clinton distinguished herself from Republicans on the issue and made a personal appeal for reform. “This is where I differ from everybody on the Republican side,” she said. “Make no mistake. Today, not a single Republican candidate – announced or potential — is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship. Not one.”

Republicans who do support comprehensive reform typically favor a pathway to legal status, but Clinton said anything short of full citizenship is “code for second-class status.”

The Democratic presidential candidate hit almost every issue on the immigration reform activist’s wish-list. She called for more humane detention practices, making it easier for families to plead their case for leniency, and took on the private prison industry. And crucially, she said she supported President Obama’s actions to shield millions of immigrants from deportation – and promised to go do even more.  “If Congress continues to refuse to act, as president, I would do everything possible under the law to go even further,” she said.

That’s exactly what many reform activists – fed up with promises for bipartisan reform that have been unfulfilled for years – are after.

Clinton explained that there “are many more people” with deep ties to communities and a history of service who should have access to “the same deferred action” status as people already protected under Obama’s programs known as DACA and DAPA. “But that’s just the beginning. There’s much more to do expand and enhance protections for families and communities,” she continued.

She even wove in some of the new populism of her second presidential bid, contrasting immigrations with corporations and private prisons. “Our undocumented immigrants in New York pay more in taxes than some of our biggest corporations,” she said of her home state. “We have to reform our detention system,” she added, noting that many detention centers are run by private companies who “have a built in-incentive to fill them up.”

Immigration has been a thorny issue for Clinton, but she won over some doubters here. “I’m blown away,” America’s Voice director Frank Sharry told msnbc after Clinton remarks. Earlier this week, he had told msnbc that Clinton has been “tone deaf” on the issue.

“So much for her reputation for being overly cautious and careful to a fault. She shows that gets the new politics of immigration,” Sharry continued. “Man, she hit most of the key notes. … Amazing.”

RELATED: Hillary Clinton supports immigration reform, but is that enough?

Still, Clinton will now have to answer questions about her evolution on this issue. She has long supported immigration reform, but hardly to the degree she did Tuesday. Just last year, Clinton drew a hardline on the Southern Border crisis, and stumbled on the issue during her first presidential campaign.

Clinton won the Latino vote by a nearly two-to-one margin over Barack Obama in 2008, but more recent comments had led reform activists to sour on the former secretary of state. Last June, while promoting her book “Hard Choices,” Clinton said that many of the children who arrived on the southern border to flee violence in Latin America had to be turned away. “We have to send a clear message: just because your child gets across the border doesn’t mean your child gets to stay,” she told CNN. A few months later, she told DREAMers that the best way to fix the immigration system was to “elect more Democrats.” For advocates who had been frustrated by the Obama administration’s deportations and the Democratic Party’s promises on immigration reform, it was the wrong answer.

And during 2008, she damaged herself by opposing a plan in New York State to give drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants. Last month, her campaign said she now supports giving drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants.

Clinton campaign policy director Amanda Renteria told msnbc that Clinton’s “story” on immigration has never changed, but acknowledged that she has moved on some issues. “We are in a different place in this country,” she said, adding, “I think people will be surprised because people have been disappointed. And they’ve been waiting for someone to fight for them.”

Upset DREAMers have confronted Clinton twice in the past year, not including a dramatic rolling protest during campaign event in Maryland where half dozen activists interrupted Clinton’s speech and had to be dragged out by police. But Tuesday afternoon, she sat down with six of them here. The group was organized by the local DREAMer advocacy organizer DREAM Big Vegas.

Clinton thanked for having the bravery to come forward. “I pledge to you that I will do everything I possibly can,” she said to close her remarks.
