What a beautiful White Christmas! Looks like a wonderful Christmas dinner. I really like the non-traditional elements too. I've always thought so, but I have to say Mike is a terrific hubby.
Lots to be thankful for, for sure.

Completely agree with Becky - it's the small (BIG!) things that mean the most. Especially when someone takes the time to let you know that they care. Wonderful!
And I love the still life ... I'm always a sucker for non-people shots...

The snow really does look magical.
I wonder if spelt flour tastes different from regular. The pie looks wonderful.
Happy New Year!

What a beautiful Christmas. :) I just loved that you spoke of your husband's thoughtfulness. What a precious gift in a husband you have. And I am sure you are just as thoughtful. ;) In the selfish "me me me" world we live in today it is no wonder so many marriages are failing but you and your husband are a wonderful example...him being thoughtful and you acknowledging it and being grateful. Loved reading this today!! :)

Wow, that Mike is a great guy! The stew he made looks right up my alley (tomorrow I'm posting a vegan Moroccan stew which you might enjoy). I envy your white Christmas. I can only dream of snow -- I doubt we'll get any this year. It sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope your New Year is happy and healthy!

I am so happy you shared these recipes as we are striving to be more and more vegan too. I can't wait to try that sweet potato muffin(!). I have a good recipe for a Vegan Banana Carrot quick bread that I practically lived off of last summer. The combo of bananas and carrots sounded sort of strange to me at first, but it was delicious. I'll send it to you if you like.

I LOVED this post. I love to cook and have admired (& often tried) recipes you've posted and love the beautiful pictures with them but have always wanted to see an 'action' post (like this one) of them being prepared with the cookbooks, ingredients and cutting boards out in your lovely, lovely kitchen. Each time I see your kitchen I think what a truly wonderful place it would be to prepare meals for a family. Please consider more posts like this! (Although I'm sure your hubby is probably not too excited by that.) Hope you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013.

I love that you are striving to be vegan! I have never regretted the choice. Your Christmas is lovely and I am glad to see that your husband makes goofy faces too when you want to get a picture of him! Mine does as well.
I am looking for my pumpkin pie recipe, it is awesome, and I think you guys will love it, it even uses homemade pumpkin!!
Have a happy New Year!!

I have one of those men too....
Well, not the kind that can cook, but the kind that gives all sorts of thought catering to me :o)
I'm glad to hear your family is heading the vegan direction early in the babies lives. I speak from experience - it's more difficult for them to adapt when they are nearly 18! She see's the results, but still misses her meat (and cheese).
Vegan pumpkin pie... I'm sure you've already happened by the site fatfreevegan.com, but she has some recipes that would fit your request.
I'm very excited to try the lentil stew!!!! Yum!
Happy New Years!

Love that you guys are going Vegan! I've been vegetarian for most of my life and I've slowly been trying to transition to Vegan the last few years. I just can't seem to give up chees ;) Anyways, here's a vegan pumpkin pie recipe that I've found, but haven't tried it yet. It looks pretty good! http://www.theppk.com/2012/11/vegan-pumpkin-pie/

Your husband is a real trooper & a very good cook!!! Your Christmas holiday looks perfect & I'm sure everyone had a lovely time!
I'm not sure if it qualifies as vegan, vegetarian yes . . . but I have a delicious pumpkin pie recipe, it's at the bottom of this post I did, check it out when you have a moment.
Everyone loves it, and I like to use a graham cracker crust from time to time, which is another little secret.
Happy New Year to you and your family!

Happy New Year to you, your sweet secret & funny baker Mike...and of course to your dear little ones! The snow is so pretty...we haven't had any yet, but today was gorgeous witih crystal clear blue skies...a lovely way to start off the new year.
Byu the way, I just about fell off my chair when I read your menu board because right at this very moment, I have a cannellini-kale (and butternut squash) minestrone stew bubbling away on the stove, that's going to be topped with parmesan buscuits and turned into a pie...so funny!
All the best...

Great pictures and what a thoughtful hubby. My husband and I became vegan 6 months ago and the results have been pretty miraculous. I love finding new vegan recipes (I also have celiac disease so things have to be gluten free also)....we have both lost weight and have so much more energy now...the best thing we bought was a Vitamix...we have a green smoothie for dinner every night and even recently vacationed with our Vitamix, LOL. Lovely Christmas pictures - Happy New Year to a very darling little family from Catt in Kentucky.

Im not a parent, so I don't really know with your (beautiful!) children's ages if this is even plausible yet... But do they have a concept of what vegan means? I love little kids' points of view on big issues :-) I'm trying to go vegan this year too. So far it's been fun! Happy New Year!

Hi Stephen,
No, they're two years old so they won't understand it for awhile. But I've thought of the dialogue we'll have already!

Hi Wendy,
I bought the horse painting several years ago here in Oregon. It's a favorite of mine, I just love it. The babes love it too! They neigh and point up to it - it's adorable.

That's very similar to the face that my husband gives me. Too funny. lol
You must live in Eastern Oregon if you got snow for Christmas (or near Mt. Hood?). We're in the valley (Willamette) and a white Christmas just isn't something we ever get.
I've found a couple of recipes via Google, but wondered if you'd share your Cannellini Kale Minestrone recipe?
- January 17, 2013 at 5:55 PM
I'm catching up after a month or so off checking blogs, and have seen your beautiful Christmas images. How gorgeous and the fallen snow on your verandah is magical.

CHICAGO -- Jason Schmidt, less than one year removed from starting the first game of a World Series that made it all the way to seven games, is not unfamiliar with being in the spotlight during some of baseball's biggest events.
But the role of starting pitcher in an All-Star Game was an entirely new one for the soft-spoken right-hander, who was clearly relishing every moment of the glitz and glitter of the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday.
"It was outstanding," he said. "A couple of outstanding lineups, great bullpens, everyone had fun."
Whether Barry Bonds -- 0-for-3 with no walks and no strikeouts -- embraced the All-Star experience as much as his Giants teammate is up for debate, as the left fielder left the clubhouse before the media was allowed in and was therefore unavailable for comment.
But back to Schmidt. He pitched two innings, faced eight batters, allowed one hit and did not give up a run. He threw 26 pitches, 18 for strikes.
Schmidt got through the first frame with ease, after coaxing a groundout and two fly balls for a 1-2-3 inning. In the second, he struck out Alex Rodriguez and Garret Anderson before hitting Edgar Martinez with a pitch. He yielded a base hit to Hideki Matsui but struck out Troy Glaus, capping a pretty good day in front of 47,609 mostly American League fans at U.S. Cellular Field.
"It was my first time in that situation so I kind of felt like a rookie going out for my first start," Schmidt said. "The first inning was a little rocky for me. To come into that situation like this, you think about that a little bit. They came out swinging and I got out of the inning quick, got to sit down and start that second inning with less pressure."
Schmidt wasn't pleased with the 7-6 final score that handed home-field advantage in the World Series over to the American League. But like most of his NL teammates, the point was to have fun, put on an impressive display for the fans, play competitively and try to win. By all accounts, the mission was accomplished.
Schmidt -- a 30-year-old veteran of eight big-league seasons -- twice referred to having rookie feelings on this warm July night in the South Side of Chicago. Even if his start last October in Anaheim bore much greater importance, no player wants to embarrass himself during one of the top highlights on the baseball calendar.
"It definitely helped being in the playoffs last year," Schmidt said. "But I felt like a rookie out there. You just want to get out of that first inning, for sure."
It could be argued that in some respects, pitching in an All-Star Game is more difficult than a World Series contest; after all, when you put the best players in all of baseball on one team, there is no bottom of the order. Everyone -- one through nine -- is capable of hitting that game-winning home run.
"It's unreal, the lineup they had," Schmidt said. "It's one after another after another. You can't let your guard down, ever.
"It was a good time. It was fun, even though we lost, we had a great time. It was fun to meet all these guys. It's something that once you experience it once, you want to get here again."

Kevin Miller from TweakTV
joined a panel of industry experts at CES Unveiled NEW YORK on Ultra HD: An
evolution or a revolution?
Coordinated by the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) and the editors of TWICE, the panel, moderated by Greg Tarr,
Executive Editor at TWICE magazine, included Tim Alessi, Director, Product
development, LG Electronics USA Inc, Jamie Marsh, Senior Business Manager, Sony
Electronics Home Entertainment & Sound Division, Kevin Miller, President
and Lead Technical Expert, ISFTV, and Industry Consultant, Tamaryn Pratt,
Principal, Market Analyst, Quixel Research, Scott Ramirez, Vice President,
Product Marketing and development, Visual Products, Toshiba America Information
System, and Jim Sanduski, Vice President, Strategic Product Marketing, Sharp
See the interview of Kevin Miller of TweakTV by Scott Wilkinson about the 2013 Value Elecronics Flat Panel Shootout.
I spent another full day calibrating and evaluating the PN64F8500 plasma panels. This afforded me the time to measure black level and ANSI contrast ratio on the larger 64-inch model so we could compare results between the different sizes. Some clarification from Samsung on the video processing of the F8500 series made me revisit the 24p tests. The Cinema Smooth feature on these Samsung's series is the 96Hz processing scheme for 24p, which introduces so much judder that it is unusable. See the Contrast Ratio and Video Processing sections for updates on these important areas of performance. The bottom line is it does not change my overall conclusions about the F8500 series Samsung plasmas.
LCD display technology, both
backlit CCFL and LED backlit LCD, suffers from serious white and black field
uniformity issues, which makes color matching quite difficult, especially with
so many panels.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Louella Aker survived a deadly tornado in southern Indiana last year with little more than a scratch, but the aftermath of the storm cost her all of her limbs and nearly took her life.
Now, the 66-year-old quadruple amputee is regaining her independence in a new home built to accommodate her disability. The exact cause of the disease that took Aker's extremities is still a mystery, but doctors believe it may have been a rare bacterial infection brought on by the March 2, 2012 tornado, an EF4 storm that leveled schools and businesses, killing 13 people in southern Indiana.
On the day of the storm, Aker recalls seeing the funnel cloud barreling toward her home in Henryville, Ind.
"When you see them on TV, they're always white," she said. "This was the dirtiest funnel cloud I had ever seen. I mean, it was just black. When I heard it roar — and it truly does roar like a freight train — I had never heard that before, it was frightening. We all hit the basement."
Aker and her family rode out the storm, and then came outside to see homes flattened and trees uprooted.
"I was just really in a daze," Aker said. "I had never seen anything so horrible and so frightening. You just wanted to sit and cry…It was the toughest thing I had ever gone through. It really was."
But for Aker, it was only the beginning. A few weeks after the tornado, she started to feel sick. She had flu-like symptoms and a fever that spiked to 104 degrees. The last thing she remembers was sitting in the emergency room, waiting to see a doctor.
Then she slipped into a coma.
She was unconscious for a month, even as doctors did exploratory surgery to try to determine the source of huge blisters on her arms and legs. The doctors found nothing, but when Aker awoke several weeks later, things had gotten much worse.

The Voting For The 1919 All-Star Series Is Open!
In another battle of stars in the annual mid-summer All-Star Series that began last year, the American League's best took games one and three of a three-game at New York's Polo Grounds to even the series at one win apiece. The opening contest was a back-and-forth affair that was finally settled in the 10th inning on an RBI hit by Ray Chapman, who went 5 for 5 in the 5-4 victory.
Game 2 was a 7-1 blowout at the hands of the National League, who used a quartet of hurlers to hold the juniors to only three hits. The deciding contest was never really close as the A.L. pocketed a 6-3 win behind four innings of fantastic relief by Babe Ruth and three hits off the bat of George Sisler.
Highlights and outstanding players include:
- Ray Chapman and Tris Speaker combining to go 7 for 7 for the AL with three RBIs and two runs in Game 1; George Burns collecting two hits, two runs and two steals for the NL, and Pete Alexander allowing only one hit in three innings.
- Honus Wagner driving in three runs for the NL in Game 2, and the three-hit pitching by Hippo Vaughn, Leon Cadore, Al Demaree and Fred Toney.
- George Sisler going 3 for 5 with two RBIs for the AL in Game 3; Larry Doyle's long home run to right center field, and Ruth's four scoreless innings of relief.
- Chapman going 7 for 14 (.500) and driving in five runs in the series.
- Ruth and Carl Mays combining for a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings in the series.
- Gavvy Cravath slugging .727 with a homer and three RBIs in the series.
- Honus Wagner hitting .444 with four RBIs in the series.
- Hippo Vaughn, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Leon Cadore allowing no earned runs in 14 combined innings.
- William Fischer throwing out all three would-be base thieves in the series.

Is there a fix?
The traffic icon does not appear on the Iphone 4 in portrait mode when added to the page : new nokia.maps.map.component.Traffic()
It's displays correctly in landscape mode.
Is there a fix?
As a work around, have you tried using MH5 framework for HTML5?
m.here.com is said to be implemented with MH5 framework as well.
Just to add, MH5 seems to be the recommended for the following platforms. I would just suggest you to use MH5 instead of JS libs in iPhone / Android devices.
Platform Support
MH5 supports the following platforms:
iOS 4.3+
Android 2.2+
Blackberry Touch devices OS6, OS7 (experimental)
Windows Phone 8.0 (experimental)
We want to customize the app so much the HM5, whilst great doesn't give us the flexibility we are after, plus some of our 'mobile' users actually use the app in a web browser. Any idea if this is to be fixed, can I raise it as a bug?
Source: http://developer.here.com/faqs
I think I have discovered a bug. How do I report it?
To report a bug in the Nokia Map API on this discussion board, please use the template below. Select and fill in the details relevant to your case. The more data you provide, the better: code to test out, screen shots, etc.
Hardware: DESKTOP | MOBILE | BOTH <target hardware(s)>
OS Version: XP VISTA | MAC O/S | IPAD | IPHONE <operating system(s) the bug appeared on>
Browser and Version: IE | FIREFOX | CHROME | SAFARI <browser(s) the bug appeared on>
Steps to reproduce: (example code | instructions) <code, instructions - even this behaviour does not occur every time or only occurred once>
Actual Results: (current output) <what actually happened>
Expected behaviour: <what should have happened>
Other details: <anything else that is relevant to the incident>
Can I submit this as a bug....
Hardware: DESKTOP (resized to mobile width) | MOBILE | BOTH
OS Version: XP | MAC O/S IPHONE (in portrait mode)
Browser and Version: CHROME | SAFARI
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a map
2. Add in the : new nokia.maps.map.component.Traffic()
3. View the map in an Ihpone in portrait mode or any web browser rezised to approx mobile width
Actual Results: The traffic button disappears
Expected behaviour: Should be on screen for use
Other details: Rotating to Landscape will show the icon, rotating to portrait will remove it.
Yes, I think that delivers the message.
So does this get picked up and put in a queue?
Thanks for the bug report.

Holiday travel can get crazy, especially with the expected 93.3 million Americans who will be taking to the road and skies this year. It's not too early to start planning the details of your trip, as a little preparation can go a long way.
If you are planning to travel by car, AAA has some specific tips for motorists.
- Ensure your vehicle is properly maintained. If maintenance is not up to date, have your car and tires inspected before you take a long drive. (Don't forget the spare!)
- Map your route in advance and be prepared for busy roads during the holiday season. If possible, consider leaving earlier or later to avoid heavy traffic.
- Keep anything of value in the trunk or covered storage area.
- If you're traveling with children, remind them not to talk to strangers. Go with them on bathroom breaks and give them whistles to be used only if the family gets separated.
- Have roadside assistance contact information on hand, in case an incident occurs on the road.
- In case of an emergency, keep a cell phone and charger with you at all times. AAA and many other companies offer smartphone apps that enable motorists to request help without making a phone call.
If you're flying this holiday season, make sure to brush up on the Travel Security Administration's (TSA) guidelines at tsa.gov. The TSA has also provided a list of hints and tips for holiday travel, some of which include the following:
- When going through a security check point, liquid, gel and aerosol containers must measure 3.4 ounces or less in a quart sized zip top bag (Hint: 1 bag per passenger is permitted).
- Pack items in layers (shoes one layer, clothes one layer, electronics one layer, etc.).
- Give yourself enough time to arrive at the airport early (this could mean arriving at the airport three hours or more before your flight).
- Wear easily removable shoes.
- Before entering a checkpoint, be sure to place all items from pockets and any bulky metal jewelry in carry-on bag or purse.

UConn junior Shabazz Napier collected another weekly Big East honor on Monday.
He was named to the honor roll after averaging 27.5 points and shooting 55.6 percent from the field in wins over DePaul and Cincinnati last week.
Napier is having a Big East player-of-the-year type season.
Georgetown's Otto Porter is the clear front-runner in the Big East POY race. He'll be hard to beat after posting 33 points, eight rebounds and five steals while leading Georgetown past Syracuse, 57-46, Saturday at the Carrier Dome. He also has led his team to first place.
Porter earned his second straight player of the week honor for his efforts.
Georgetown's John Thompson III is considered the favorite to win Big East coach of the year.
UConn's Kevin Ollie is another strong candidate. The Huskies need just one more win to guarantee their first conference winning record since the 2008-09 season. They've gone 8-10, 9-9 and 7-11 in the last three seasons.
UConn (19-7, 9-5) has the opportunity to make a major statement Wednesday night when it hosts seventh-ranked Georgetown(21-4, 11-3) at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs.
It will be the Huskies' last game against a ranked opponent this season. A win also would keep them in the regular season title race.

This case is a great value. I'm impressed at how much cheaper the price was compared to big box stores. This case is thin which keeps the iPhone 5 looking sleek. I like the look of it. The front side of the case has a slight edge of a couple of millimeters, which keeps the screen from directly touching surfaces when it's set it down. It fits really well on the phone, and doesn't come off easily. The case is translucent enough that you can still see the Apple logo through it. I'm debating ordering it in more of the colors.
This case protects the phone but quickly becomes discolored from use. The price is right so buy several colors for replacements when needed.
I like that this is semi-see through. But did not make up for the fact that once I finally wrestled this cover onto the phone, you couldn't use the power button on the top of the iPhone 5
only ordered one from them... messed up should have ordered more!!
Very fitting. Perfect match love the case and color.
nice fit on iPhone5. Nice color, nice material. dropped my phone on hard pavement and it was fine.

The Mark Zuckerbergs of the world or the Yale students who secured a $15 million investment to further their website RapGenius.com made a lot of people believe that most of today's successful startups are created by tech-savvy students in their 20s. In actuality, most successful businesses are started by entrepreneurs between the ages of 30 to 49, according to new research.
More mundane
Some might say these resarch findings will cause some who believe they're too old to start a business to put their fears away and actually start one.
According to the Kauffman Foundation and the Internet document company Legal Zoom, most of the startups in the United States that become successful aren't those tech-based companies that have young and hip college students at the helm.
"Most of the successful startups are not the kind spawned in Silicon Valley," said the Director of Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation, Dane Stangler. "I don't want to use the word mundane, but they're run of the mill."
Kauffman and Legal Zoom interviewed a total of 1,431 business owners and found that 57 percent of them started their businesses after their 20s and spent at least six years working in that industry before creating a startup.
Additionally, 44 percent of the business owners started one company prior to the successful startup, and 52 percent created more than one business, researchers said.
Arguably the biggest reason why most successful startups are created by older people and not tech-savvy 20-somethings is because older entrepreneurs typically don't have the same financial barriers that younger people do.
Seed money
Since older business owners tend to work in their industry for years and can save money, many of them don't have to search for finances or ask their family members for seed money. The study showed only 20 percent of business owners between the ages of 30 and 49 had to ask their families for money or had to get finances from a bank or home equity loan.

CASAA alert for Mass Residents
For you Massachusetts residents, CASAA has an alert posted about the Newton Board of Aldermen which is considering an ordinance that would ban flavors, vaping where smoking is prohibited, and raise she minimum age to purchase vaping products to 21.
While none of these are threatening to our industry as a whole, we do encourage you getting out and at least being a voice in the matter. If we don't speak up, we will be beaten. From the CASAA blog:
The Program & Services Committee of the Newton, Massachusetts Board of Aldermen is considering an ordinance that would impose devastating restrictions on e-cigarettes within the city, including (1) banning flavors, (2) prohibiting e-cigarette use wherever smoking is prohibited, (3) prohibiting sales of e-cigarettes wherever tobacco products can't be sold, and (4) raising the minimum purchase age to 21. (CASAA currently does not take a position on this last issue, but members are free to express their views.)

Farmall 100 plow question
I am trying to find out what the model of this plow is and how to make adjustments to it. Possibly a manual? I plan to use this many years and will need to know the ins and outs and also be able to source parts like shares, etc. more pictures to follow.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
Probably an A-193. Hard to tell anything from your pictures.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
What should be in the pictures? I thought the casting numbers would be the ticket.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
That looks like a Super A one bottom plow looks to be a 14 inch or 16 inch moldboard not real sure tho
Tractors are like watermelons..Eat the red and throw away the green!!

Re: Farmall 100 plow question
It's a 16 inch, butt I'm trying to find out the model number and get my hands on a manual. What was the stock plow for the 100? Is there a better plow for it ? I also am trying to find out what carburetor is on my 100 and get a manual for it as well because I'm not familiar with it and the adjustments.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
The casting numbers would help if I could read them. At the same time, they are in so close I can only guess what the part is.
1) I think it is the beam. The beam for an A-193 (and some variations) is 512504R1. You can check it.
2) Plow bottom and the curved part of the beam. Any bottom IH made could be put on any plow they made. Even if I could ID the bottom, it doesn't help ID the plow. The section of the beam in the picture is just a simple curve, identical to probably dozens of plow models. The only tell in the picture is the chain very far back on the beam. Few models have a chain that far back.
3) Is the number O 3068? I scanned 4 large parts catalogs and found that number is the moldboard on a BBA bottom. Giving us the size of the bottom would help too. I guessed the part may have been the moldboard, but sure couldn't say for sure until I found the number (if that is the number). Even so, as I already said, IDing the bottom is no clue as to the model of the plow.
In brief, don't crop the pictures down to where you can't tell what the part is. Include a picture of the whole plow so we can see the unique parts. Show pictures of the part numbers but read them for us. A straight-on picture of a part number takes out all the relief that you have when the part is right in front of you.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
Ok I will do my best, the top picture is the beam it has "12504R1" there are impressions before this but I can't make them out, but they don't look like numbers more like squares. it's a 16 inch plow. The last picture is the back of the moldboard.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
Here is the whole thing on the tractor
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
Also the number you have is correct on the mold board.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
OK. It is an A-193, later IDed as simply 193. It has a 16" BBA bottom. The illegible stamp in front of the part of the number you can read has to be a 5. There may be a mal-formed IH in front of the 5.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
Thanks! I really appreciate the help. I'm new to all this so I really am thankful for your time and knowledge.
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
Also, I have been searching around and have found out that this is a "super chief" bottom? And you told me that it had a "bba" mold board, from what I have found, that is a general purpose? What does"bba" mean? Also, my land side has a one piece molded look, but most pictures I see have a bolt on heel. My land side thickens up in back, but doesn't have a replaceable section, is it for a specific purpose? Can I order new shares/shins for this plow?
Re: Farmall 100 plow question
It is not a Super Chief bottom it is a BBA bottom. That bottom was built from '37 to '61. It is a "general-purpose moldboard adapted to stubble and tame hay sod plowing." The landside of that bottom does not have a replaceable heel, even though other bottoms do. Replacement parts for that bottom will probably be a challenge.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

In day of Hall firsts, Manley stands out
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Effa Manley had long been viewed as a crusader and a pioneer, so seeing her blaze a trail into the National Baseball Hall of Fame for other women shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody.
And that's what Manley did, too. On Sunday, she became the first woman and one of 17 new inductees from "black baseball" admitted into Cooperstown.
Her plaque there reads in part:
"A trailblazing owner and tireless crusader in the civil rights movement who earned the respect of her players and fellow owners. As business manager and co-owner of the Eagles, ensured team's financial success with creative promotions and advertising. Beloved by fans because she integrated her players into the community and fielded consistently competitive teams, highlighted by 1946 Negro Leagues World Series championship."
The words do Manley justice. During her decade-long career in baseball, she proved the business equal of any franchise owner in black baseball. She respected the sport and its deep, rich traditions, and she also pampered her players, a rare thing at the time. In return, they showered Manley with the everlasting respect that was uncommon for owners to get.
In a biography of Manley, one author boldly labeled her "Queen of the Negro Leagues," and the title fit Manley's persona like "Stan the Man" fit Stan Musial or "Cool Papa" fit James Bell.
The title "queen" wasn't an exaggeration or a PR man's hyperbole. For Effa Manley was baseball royalty.
"She didn't sit back," said Leslie Heaphy, a history professor at Kent State University and one of the 12 members of the committee that selected the Negro Leagues inductees. "She took charge; and it didn't matter to her who she was. She wasn't gonna let the men not let her have her say. I found that amazing."
Take-charge women weren't the standard in the 1930s and '40s. The role for women then, during a fledgling period for women's suffrage, was behind the scenes. They took on the stereotypical duties of the complement to the powerful man.
No doubt Manley's husband was powerful. He was wealthy, and he could afford to indulge his wife. It was his money, after all, that bought the Eagles. It was Effa Manley's savvy and business smarts that turned the team into a success.
Few women could say as much in America. Those women who could didn't carve out success in sports. In that regard, Effa Manley was a singular exception.
"That was so unusual -- even still," Heaphy said. "In the '30s and '40s, that was incredible, and the fact that most people thought she was black added to that. She was battling that idea of two strikes against her -- black and a woman.
"I found that amazing."
So did others, particularly the people who see the gender struggle the same kind of blight on America as the racial struggle.
"Speaking on behalf of the 17 inductees, Sharon Robinson, the daughter of Jackie Robinson, put it best. She said, "I would like to thank the Hall for opening its doors to a deserving woman."
Effa Manley, of course, was that woman.

Issues of housing, jobs, public education and gun violence dominated a debate Wednesday night involving five candidates for the Democratic primary election in the 2nd Congressional District.
Former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, of Crete; attorney Ernest B. Fenton, of Markham; Chicago Ald. Anthony Beale (9th); state Sen. Toi Hutchinson (D-Olympia Fields) and Robin Kelly, of Matteson, a former state representative and top Cook County official, took part in the debate at Rich Central High School in south suburban Olympia Fields.
Earlier Wednesday, the crowded field of candidates was reduced to 16 when state Sen. Napoleon Harris (D-Flossmoor) dropped out, endorsing Kelly.
The Feb. 26 primary is equivalent to election in the heavily Democratic district that stretches from Chicago's South Side through the south suburbs to Kankakee. The post is open because of the Nov. 21 resignation of former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
The five debate participants pledged to fight for district residents by pushing for mortgage relief to reduce foreclosures and to promote economic development to help lower homeowners' property tax bills.
A major topic was gun violence, and the killing this week of a 15-year-old girl in Chicago, who had attended President Obama's inauguration with her school band, was cited by the candidates in proposing stricter gun control.
As a mother, Hutchinson said she personally connected to the tragic shooting death because it reminded her of her daughter who's about the same age.
Halvorson is the only 2nd District Democratic candidate to publicly oppose a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity bullet magazines. She said the focus must be on who has access to guns rather than the guns themselves.
"I'm going to fight to make sure criminals don't get guns," she said.
Some candidates said they had personal experience with gun violence. Beale said he has attended too many funerals for gun victims in his ward. Kelly said she has spent more than 20 years working for gun control to make communities safe.
Fenton was a crowd favorite, emphasizing affordable housing and fighting foreclosures. Many in the audience repeatedly applauded his ideas and what he called "being real."
Beale boasted of doing more for "job creation than any other candidate up here. I brought many Wal-Mart jobs to my ward."
In a statement Wednesday, Harris, a first-term state senator, said he threw his support behind Kelly because of their similar philosophies.
"I believe we need to fight for more educational opportunity, better jobs and to get guns out of the hands of criminals and gangs that are preying on our neighborhoods," he said.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Nicole is a huge asset to your company. From the day i inquired to every time i walk in and pay or call in, she always knows my name. Sometimes it is very busy and she handles it all with a real professional attitude. Cant say enough good things about your facility. Loufrom Delran, NJ

I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative of your service. This is what I hope for, for something to exceed expectations is a semantic play, that I cannot get into.Gjoko from Doylestown, PA

The reason for my middle of the road responses is because my storage unit size was not as advertised. I was told it was a 10 x 10 heated unit but it measures 10 x 9. I couldn't fit my shelves in because of the discrepancy. While the company adjusted my monthly payments, my trust is not there because the company wasn't straight forward from the beginning. They made changes when found out. Am I going anywhere soon? No. But I wonder if the temperature is maintained as it is supposed to be. Otherwise my experience of the facility has been as described in my answers to the questions.Harry from Hamilton Square, NJ

Jose is extremely helpful. I use my shed for business. He not only has deliveries put into my unit, he's then taken the extra step to email me that I have a delivery. I can't tell you how much more efficient I am in my work as I don't waste time with phone calls or extra trips.Anne from King Of Prussia, PA
