Vast international child-porn network uncovered – The York Daily Record.
This is the most disturbing news article I have ever read.
These vile men deserve an immediate death sentence.

Playing with fire
By · 2 Comments
The flame doesn’t burn bright.
More like a flicker, spit and sputter of a wet wick.
It had in the past…bright, hot and passionate.
That fire burned fast and uncontrolled, letting a heap of ash.
I brush myself off. Hold my head high. Burned, but not burned out.

Lancaster pastor ‘terrorized’ kids

DA: Lancaster pastor ‘terrorized’ kids – The York Daily Record.
I’m not sure what to think about this Lancaster pastor. Good intentions gone wrong would sum it up.
I understand what their goal was: to educate and bring awareness to what could happen on a missionary trip in a foreign country.
I’ve been on a missionary trip with a huge group of teenagers. We traveled as a group and rarely separated into groups of less than three. This was for our own protection.
(As a side note I will add that after our flight to California we went to eat at a fast food restaurant. When I came out of the restroom, I realized our entire missionary group had left in the two rented vans. Thank God it was me who was left behind because I don’t know how a teenager would have reacted. No one told us what hotel we were staying at and it took quite some time for me to even find our group and have them come back for me. Poor planning…everyone should have know what hotel we were staying at before continuing on to Mexico.)
Foreign countries are unpredictable. What this pastor staged has the real possibility of happening on a missionary trip. It takes faith in God to leave your home and enter foreign territory to spread His word.
What this Assembly of God Church should have done was inform the parents and youth what was going to happen. Even knowing it is staged would still get the point across. After the staged kidnapping, a discussion on how to react to capture should have taken place.
In my humble opinion, no teenagers should be taken to a hostile country for missionary purposes. Adult missionaries risk their lives to spread God’s word and understand the risks they are taking.
Teenagers believe they are indestructible.

9-year-old’s reign of terror
By · 3 Comments
Day care rampage caught on tape 9-year-old’s reign of terror – YouTube.
Shouldn’t this boy be charged with something? Yes, the daycare worker wasn’t paying attention and has been charged for her lack of it, but this boy needs to learn what he did was wrong. He also needs some therapy and counseling or he will wind up behind bars.
Just my thoughts,

That’s scary mommy!

Art appreciation 101 at York College requires making a sculpture at home. I wanted to do more than a mask and my wonderful sister Suz volunteered to be the model.
Suz sat patiently while I added more and more plaster to her head. I estimate it took over an hour to sculpt the helmet and another half hour with a hair dryer to set it. What Suz didn’t know was the process of creating it would be much easier on her than when it came time to remove it from her head. Let’s just say she lost some hair over the ordeal. 😉
Once I tore that mask off her head (not exaggerating) and removed the lining I could tell my vision was coming together. I love my sister to pieces and wanted this to have a real meaning for her, other than just pain.
I walked all over my parents property and down at Beaver Hole looking for the perfect vines to add to my piece. I had a name for it already chosen. “MeSuza” after the Greek mythology goddess, Medusa. I was fortunate MeSuza didn’t turn me to stone for ripping so much hair off of her head.
Stone Cold
I hand-carved and painted each snake, with a total of eleven in all. Each one was unique. None of the snakes have pieces glued to them. The tongues and rattles are all carved out of the native vines of Dover, PA. The mask portrayed a winter scene, cold and barren with the snakes slithering in and out. The inside was snakes in a summer setting. The mask represented both seasons as a sculpture in the round. At every angle a different snake looks back with an evil glare, inside and out. The snakes that are not vines are hot glue that I drizzled onto the mask then painted. I can’t even begin to guess how many hours I put into this piece, but it was worth every second!
To wear the helmet, some snakes had to be removed. When it’s not on a human head, the snakes can be moved around for a new look. I received an A+ on my sculpture and a 4.0 in the Intro to Art course. 😉
Summer of snakes
The model who wears it the best! Love ya Sis!
Tesla is no longer afraid of MeSuza!
Future posts of art work to come!

Penn State’s Punishment
By · 8 Comments
Like this needs a caption
The punishment for allowing a child molester to roam freely on a college campus has been handed down by the NCAA.
It seems everyone has an opinion on whether the sanctions were fair. The millions in fines and millions lost in revenue from bowl games and bobble-heads of JoePa…yes it’s going to be tough. But, it doesn’t have to ruin the college. Really, if anyone is guilty of ruining the college’s sparkling reputation, it’s the people who were employed there.
“Nicole Lord, a senior, questioned why Penn State’s student body, and especially its athletes, should be punished “for the wrongs of three men and a monster.”
“They keep breaking our hearts and breaking our hearts and breaking our hearts,” she said. (AP)
Well Nicole, if you think your heart is breaking, how do you think those little boys felt when that barracuda-looking man, Sandusky was raping them in the shower? Not only were their hearts breaking, their childhood was stolen and taken by a man they thought could be trusted. Even worse was the discovery of this serial rapist in the act who was then quietly ushered out of the football program and given his own charity to hand-pick even more victims. His superiors made this happen for him and he must have been elated. Not only did he get mucho bucks to retire, they gave him all kinds of “extras” making his sickness even easier for him to enjoy.
Penn State is taking a pass on fighting the sanctions. A very wise choice. The Paterno family would be wise to let things rest, as JoePa now is.
“Penn State meekly accepted its punishment, pledging to hold itself to high standards of honesty and integrity.” (AP)
My question: Where the fuck was that pledge in 1998?
At least one person, granted a graduate, gets why this punishment is so important for the victims and their families.
“Our heritage, our legacy has been tainted and damaged,” said Troy Cromwell, a wide receiver on the 1986 team that won the second of Paterno’s two national championships. Cromwell said he felt bad for current and incoming players, “but at the end of the day, there were still those kids, those poor kids, and those victims, and we have to think about them first in everything that we do.” (AP)
I’ve attended PS football games and enjoyed myself but can’t say I was frothing-at-the-mouth fan. It’s just a game. A GAME with a winning team and a losing team. People are upset that the college has been stripped of their wins from 1998-2011. Boohoo…the boys didn’t want to be stripped and raped either but it happened. It happened and many people knew yet they wanted to be humane to the child rapist. How can being humane to a child rapist even make sense to these college-educated men? One doesn’t even have to be college-educated to realize there is no such thing.
So the rapist was concealed and given the freedom to continue his sick sexual desires on the campus for years after he was discovered. Paterno wasn’t happy about that as we all learned in Freeh Report, but did he step up and really try to stop Sandusky? Hell no.
No one wanted to be the whistle-blower. The wave-maker in Happy Valley. The sticking-my-neck-out for the innocent children handed to the campus pervert. It wasn’t until they had no choice because the truth was coming out no matter what they tried to hide. The BOT certainly had an inkling that Sandusky had a penchant for little boys….but they turned their heads too.
I don’t want to hear any whining or complaining that all those years and wins were just erased like they never happened. They happened alright….and all those boys who fell into the hands of a sick, sick man who felt he could get away with anything…well they know they were raped and their childhood taken.
Penn State earned those wins over the years while harboring a serial rapist. The team, coaches, staff, etc. won games while children lost their innocence.
In the long run and in stark reality, there was no winning…..only loss.
This punishment could have been much worse for the college and still never make up for what Sandusky did.
Let the healing begin,

FUNDRAISER~Original Art on sale at York College
By · Leave a Comment
Want to own original artwork by professional artists at a MUCH LOWER COST?
Gallery director Matthew Clay-Robison has filled the gallery with original prints (woodcuts, etchings, lithographs, silkscreens, etc) that are being offered in exchange for donations to help one of his former students pay for his cancer treatments.
The student, Todd Gerundo, was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma cancer of the left hand in March of 2010. In order to contain the disease, Todd’s arm was amputated and he underwent 4 months of rigorous chemotherapy treatments. During his treatment Todd has gone deeply into debt and while his health recovers he and his friends have begun a fundraising campaign to help him pay off his medical bills and outstanding debts. The prints in the gallery are being offered in exchange for small donations, making this an excellent opportunity to begin an art collection at a very low cost. Most of the prints were made by Prof. Clay-Robison and his former students at University of Maryland, Moore College of Art, and Bloomsburg University. Many of these artists have begun careers as professional artists in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and DC. The suggested donation for small prints is $10 or 3/$25 (as opposed to $250-750 in a professional gallery,) though some prints are of a higher quality than others and smaller donations are certainly welcome.
The fundraiser will run from July 16 – 23 during normal work hours. If you would like to make a donation you can leave a check made out to Matthew Clay-Robison in the donation box or use the computer in the gallery to make a direct online donation. If you have any questions, please email mclayrob@ycp.edu.
