Those low areas - that puddle after heavy rains - will kill almost any tree, except Dawn Redwoods.
Even grows in standing water.
Dawn Redwoods are considered by many to be the Fastest Growing Conifer. Under ideal conditions they have been reported to grow up to 5 feet per year.
Once very hard-to-find trees, but recent demand has boosted cultivation so that everyone can have access to this beautiful tree!
The Dawn Redwood's beautiful, fern-like foliage develops in the spring and turns a gentle gold in the fall.
Great when planted alone as an ornamental tree or in groupings.
A great tree for borders and fence lines.
Grows consistently into a pyramidal form and makes an attractive shade tree.
Plant away from foundations and plan for it eventually being a large tree.
Adaptable to almost any soil - except desert sand … can withstand both moderate flooding and drought.
These unique trees are great in open spaces... but also look attractive in rows.
Save thousands by shopping in the convenience of your own home instead of paying a landscaper for trees that struggle.
Receive well developed, large trees and shrubs that thrive in your area. Varieties that are easy to grow, long lived, and trouble free. Your plants are clearly marked for size, pruned to a nice pleasing shape, and are delivered right to your doorstep.
We shun growth regulators and other chemicals that make plants look good in the stores but struggle to survive once planted.
Some nurseries charge you for a taller tree then chop 1/3 off, so it will fit in a shorter box. This saves them on shipping but can harm your tree and make you wait longer for it to grow back.
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Dawn Redwood.
If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen.
First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width.
Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through.
Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your Dawn Redwood gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.
The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil.
Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole.
To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.
Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps.
Water your Dawn Redwood again after the transplant is complete.
To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

"We are very happy to select Bryan Bullington with the No. 1 pick in this year's draft," said Dave Littlefield, the Pirates' senior vice president and general manager. "With his determination and competitive nature, we feel he will be a great asset to the Pittsburgh Pirates organization."
Because the draft lacked anyone considered a "can't miss" prospect in the mold of a Mark Prior -- who was selected second overall out of USC by the Chicago Cubs a year ago -- the Pirates had a choice to make from among a trio of top prospects. As late as Monday, there was speculation that Pittsburgh still had considerable interest in Virginia high school shortstop B.J. Upton and Adam Loewen, a Canadian high-school southpaw from Surrey, British Columbia.
Ultimately, it was Bullington, widely regarded as the top college pitcher in the draft, whom Pittsburgh considered its best option.
"Being a college pitcher, he's going to be a little closer than a high school draftee, but I still think with what we've seen so far, though he will be closer, there still will be some work that needs to be done," Littlefield said. "I'd anticipate we're looking at him a couple of years away.
"There was quite a bit of discussion on where we were going to go. It wasn't a situation where we were trying to be crafty. It was more a situation that it wasn't a year where it was one player standing above anybody else, and we felt we had to consider a lot of different factors. We feel very comfortable and good about drafting Bullington."
Bullington was 11-3 with a 2.84 ERA in 15 appearances in his junior season. As is to be expected from a pitcher who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 220 pounds, he throws hard, with a fastball clocked in the low- to mid-90s. Bullington also has a mid-80s slider, a curveball and changeup that he can throw for strikes.
In fact, throwing strikes has been Bullington's most impressive trait. In 105 innings last season, he fanned 139 batters while walking just 18.
Bullington's development throughout his collegiate career as well as his makeup -- perhaps best exhibited when he took a line drive to the face as a sophomore and did not miss his next start -- also caught the eye of the Pirates' scouting department.
"If you stop working, you're not going to improve any. If you're dedicated to improvement, working hard is the only way to get there," Bullington said.
"He's a competitive kid who has made a lot of strides since high school," Littlefield said. "There seems to be a pretty solid future for him."
Bullington is considered a solid athlete for his size and comes from a very athletic family. His mother was a swimmer at Ball State and his father, Larry, now a highly regarded high school basketball coach in Indiana, averaged 36.5 points per game at Indianapolis' John Marshall High in 1969-70 to establish a city record that still stands.
"I think quite a bit," Bullington said when asked if he similar to his father. "I was basically a gym rat growing up. I was at every practice he had. We've always grown up in a competitive atmosphere. That was instilled at a very young age. Athletic events have definitely been a big part of my family growing up, starting with him."
Of the three players under serious consideration by the Pirates, Bullington is the closest to being big league-ready. He is expected to command a signing bonus in excess of $4 million and Pittsburgh has long contended that signability would not be the determining factor in its selection.
"We haven't had a whole lot of talks," Bullington said. "Whenever that gets taken care of, I'm looking forward to being part of the organization."
Bullington is the first collegiate player to be selected first overall since the Philadelphia Phillies selected Pat Burrell in 1998 and the fourth college pitcher to be chosen No. 1 in the last 13 years. The others were Rice University's Matt Anderson (Detroit Tigers, 1997), Clemson's Kris Benson (Pirates, 1996) and Florida State's Paul Wilson (New York Mets, 1994).
Bullington also joins Benson and Jeff King (1986) as the only players to be selected first overall by Pittsburgh.

Earlier this month, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) began using a new first-in-the-nation emergency alerting app as part of its notifications to the public.
Created by a firm in Nashua, N.H., Ping4alerts! is a free mobile communications app, that can alert individuals about public safety and public health emergencies.
Hurricane Sandy will give the app its first big test.
MEMA contracted with the New Hampshire company to provide the service to the public. The service is 100 percent anonymous. Mobile numbers or email addresses are not required and the company does not retain information on its users, said CEO and President James Bender.
Through geofencing technology, Ping4alerts! enables MEMA to send highly targeted, instant multimedia alerts to iPhone and Android devices to notify individuals to situations and events happening near them.
Users also get audible alerts, which can wake them up, if an emergency happens while they are sleeping, Bender said. Alerts can include images, video, maps and links to important information, said Bender.
One of the advantages of the Ping4Alerts! is that MEMA has the ability to target alerts to a specific location, down to a street or a city block, or a whole community or the entire Commonwealth.
This new smartphone app is just another tool MEMA can use in emergencies in addition it it public alerting system, which includes radio and television alerts through the Emergency Alert System, the Mass211 system, and posts to MEMA's Twitter and Facebook accounts.

The blog "wait but why" had a great post last month titled "Why Generation Y Yuppies are Unhappy." In it, the author explained how Gen Y young people, or Millenials, are experiencing a serious disconnect between their expectations and reality.
OK, we knew this, right? But as a semi-Gen-Y-er (I was born at the very tail end of Gen X), I found the whole thing interesting. And it got me thinking that I, for one, want to help my daughter avoid some of the problems my cohorts and I have faced. Here's my mini-manifesto for the next generation of young people, whatever they will be called:
1. Be a joiner.
My generation grew up with a lot of emphasis on the individual, producing grown-ups who are not big on joining organizations.
This is nothing new; author Robert Putnam famously detailed the collapse of what he called "social capital" in America since the 1950s in his 2000 book "Bowling Alone." But my generation has done little, if anything, to stem this tide of non-joining.
This means two things. One, we're missing out on some really fun, fulfilling and important stuff. Two, if someone doesn't start joining these groups soon, they're not going to be around anymore.
So let's teach our kids that it's OK to be a joiner. Let's tell them that becoming part of a group doesn't diminish our own individuality, but enhances it. Belonging to something pushes us out of our individual bubbles and into communities. And that can only be a good thing.
2. You can be anything you want to be, but you might not.
As kids, my schoolmates and I heard "You can be anything you want to be" all the time, often in defiance of what seemed to us as obvious truths. Little girl, do you want to be a professional baseball player? Well, if you try hard enough, you can.

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.

2nd mock, no trades although I always follow the trade value chart......#13 DT Sheldon Richardson - BPA in my book. That's how I see it shaking it. No Milner, no top DE's, a relentless pass rushing DT....can't have enough.#43 CB Logan Ryan - Big physical corner, pro ready, likes to tackle, buccaneer man, etc.#73 TE Jordan Reed - Despite his intellect he is a dynamic pass catcher. I liked Fauria, but I think we need to get more athletic at the position. Playmaker with the ball in his hands.#109 FS Phillip Thomas - Thomas leads the nation with eight interceptions. He had three picks against Colorado, returning two of them for touchdowns. Thomas also has recorded 82 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, four passes broken up and four forced fumbles. That's production!#125 WR Ryan Swoope (sp) Texas A&M - Wes Welker 2.0....He has decent size, (6-1 206) but also has underrated speed, making him extremely swift in and out of his breaks. His sudden quickness takes defenses by surprise. Swoope is very dangerous after he makes a catch and is capable of taking short passes downfield for big gains. Dangerous in the Slot#140 RB Rex Burkhead - Was a bit injured, and only got 98 carrys but posted a 6.9 YPC. Good blocker and reciever too. Burkhead is known as a hard worker and high-character individual who is active in community charity work. He has the potential to be a fan favorite in the NFL. Buccaneer Man?#171 DT Daniel McCullers - He totaled 39 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, a pass broken up, a forced fumble and a blocked kick in 2012. McCullers is still raw, but he could turn into something special. 6'8" 360....
It just depends on what you think the point of a mock draft is. Is it an attempt to accurately predict what the team will do with it's draft picks or is it just a way to display the prospects you like getting on your team despite an incredible improbability
Jlb, liked Cason coming out of Arizona several years back. Wouldn't mind adding him to the 6 or so draft picks I'd spend on corners.
jlb- I feel that the 2nd option is a lot more realistic.I really cant see how Lane Johnson gets out of the 1st round. He would have to have a poor pro day and combine in order for that to happen.Also, Barwin would translate to a DE is brought here. He would be a good 4-3 DE, but a bad 4-3 SLB.I could also see Dennis Johnson going somewhere in the 5th round.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
Happy to see the Swo.pe and Burkhead bandwagons get rolling. I would like to see us grow young and athletic at the TE position. Kelce has size but not sure he has the speed or athleticism to be that much of an upgrade over what we have.

- Scott returns from DL, back in Rays' lineup
- Zimmer can't escape Zim Bear mania
- Niemann no longer needs scooter to get around
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays' bullpen could be getting a major boost as soon as Saturday.
Righty Joel Peralta is scheduled to return from his eight-game suspension, while Kyle Farnsworth, who has been on the disabled list since the beginning of the season, may be ready to return from a right elbow strain.
Peralta, who was suspended because of excessive pine tar on his glove, said he felt good facing hitters before Thursday's game and is eager to play.
"This has been the longest eight days of my career," Peralta said. "I'm out of the game for eight days, and I'm just going to come back and try to do my best. That's all I can do, that's all I want to do."
Farnsworth, meanwhile, was back in the Rays' clubhouse after making a pair of rehab appearances with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday and Wednesday. His fastball reached 96 mph, but he said he was more encouraged with his breaking ball.
"I feel like I'm throwing pretty good, about as good as I'm going to get right now," Farnsworth said.
Rays manager Joe Maddon said Fernando Rodney, who has handled the closer's role this season, will continue to pitch in save situations.
Scott returns from DL, back in Rays' lineup
ST. PETERSBURG -- After a brief stint on the 15-day disabled list because of back stiffness, Rays designated hitter Luke Scott was back in the lineup for Thursday's opener against Detroit.
In two rehab appearances with Triple-A Durham, the 34-year-old went 3-for-8 with a pair of homers, four RBIs and three runs.
"I went down to Durham to see some pitching, and I feel like I'm ready," Scott said.
Hitting cleanup on Thursday, Scott, Tampa Bay's leader in RBIs (35), should give the club's offense a boost.
"He's been swinging the bat well on his little rehab stint," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He was swinging the bat well working out, we'll see how it works."
Maddon added he isn't sure whether Scott is able to take on an everyday role for the team, but Scott will be evaluated after Thursday's game.
Entering Thursday's game, Scott is batting .220 on the season with nine long balls, but he struggled in his 11 games before landing on the disabled list when he went 5-for-37 during the stretch.
To make room on the roster, righty Chris Archer was sent down to Durham after making a pair of starts, allowing four earned runs in 11 2/3 innings of work.
"He should have been pleased with what he did here," Maddon said of Archer. "He definitely learned how much he belongs and that he can pitch in the big leagues so that's the first positive."
Zimmer can't escape Zim Bear mania
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays senior baseball advisor Don Zimmer has a problem.
Many of his friends and family keep asking if they can get their hands on a Zim Bear, a doll that will be given away as a promotional item for the first 10,000 fans at Friday's game against the Tigers.
"I've got so many people wanting a Zim Bear -- from Joe Torre to people out in California," Zimmer said. "Friends all over the country, my daughter up in New Hampshire -- they all want a Zim Bear."
The doll features the face of Zimmer on the body of a bear wearing a Rays baseball cap and jersey. As for the appearance of it, Zimmer joked saying, "It's all right."
"That's what it is," Zimmer said. "You can't change spots on a leopard."
Manager Joe Maddon had high praise for the doll and its look, but he would change one thing about it.
"Zim has lost a couple pounds," Maddon said. "This bear may not be anatomically correct anymore, because Zim is actually looking really good these days."
Niemann no longer needs scooter to get around
ST. PETERSBURG -- For the first time in six weeks, Tampa Bay starting pitcher Jeff Niemann was in the clubhouse Thursday without a cast on his leg or the scooter he used to get around.
The 29-year-old, who fractured his right fibula on May 14, has been able to play catch since Tuesday after getting off the scooter Monday.
"It's progressing the right way, and it's good to be standing up again," Niemann said.
There is still no timetable for his return, and the biggest challenge is getting the full range of motion back. He added he isn't sure what the next step is or when it will be.
To maintain as much arm strength as he could, Niemann said he was able to throw a ball into a trampoline when he was in the cast, playing catch with it.
"I think we did a pretty good job, because I'm throwing right now and the arm feels good, it feels strong," Niemann said. "It's going to be one of those things the sooner we are there, the faster we're going to be able to come back."

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (January 10, 2013) – Got that weak, achy feeling? Is it the flu? There's one good way to make sure it's not. Get a flu shot. Many people ask if they should still get a flu shot even at the peak of flu season or even if they think they have already had it. The answer is yes.
"It's possible you just had a severe cold, which presents with similar symptoms, or you could have had a different strain of the flu,'' said Barbara Savatteri, Director of Infection Control at Hudson Valley Hospital Center. "That's why delayed vaccination can still be effective.
Here are some answers to some other frequently asked questions about the flu:
When should I get a flu shot?
Once every year before flu season begins in November. At HVHC, flu shots have been available since late August.
Is it ever too late in the season to get a flu shot?
No. HVHC has administered shots to its employees as late as March.
Does my child need a flu shot?
Children 6 months and older should be vaccinated. Not only will you protect your child, but you'll help stop the spread of flu and protect the more vulnerable populations like infants and the elderly.
I'm healthy. Why do I need a flu shot?
Protecting yourself means protecting others around you who may be more vulnerable to the flu, such as infants and the elderly.
Flu shots are available from your doctor and at many neighborhood pharmacies. Visit http://health.westchestergov.com/ or http://www.putnamcountyny.com/health/ to find out where to get your flu shot.

Please find below helpful general information about the Sarah Lawrence College 86th Annual Commencement. If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact the Office of College Events at (914) 395-2412 or email@example.com.
Commencement Ceremony: May 23, 2014
The Commencement Ceremony will be held on Friday, May 23. The ceremony takes place under a tent (rain or shine) on Westlands South Lawn. The ceremony begins at 10 a.m. and generally lasts 2 to 2 ½ hours. A light reception on the North Lawn follows the ceremony.
Commencement Speaker
Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's flagship international affairs program, Fareed Zakaria GPS, editor-at-large of TIME magazine, a Washington Post columnist, and a New York Times bestselling author, will deliver the Commencement address.
Read more about Fareed Zakaria»
Commencement Seating
Space at Commencement is very limited: we can accommodate four guests for each graduate and each graduate will receive only four invitations. Each invitations will include a ticket, which is required for admittance to the ceremony. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and begins at 7:30 a.m. Graduates will be notified when tickets are available for pick up in the Office of College Events. This is usually in late April.
Live broadcast of the Commencement ceremony will be available in Reisinger Auditorium. This open, general seating will be available at 10:05 a.m., after the processional has entered the tent.
Sarah Lawrence College works to ensure that appropriate accommodations and services are provided for students and their guests at commencement in accordance with The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If you anticipate needing accommodations for a ticketed guest, please contact College Events at firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail. All requests must be made in writing prior to May 2. Ticketed guests must be pre-registered for special seating. There will be sign language interpreters. If you are in need of this service, please send an email to email@example.com.
The entire Commencement tent is ADA accessible.
Arriving on Campus
On Commencement Day, you may park in any Sarah Lawrence parking lot. College Security will direct you to parking areas when you arrive on campus. Once all lots are full, there will be a designated overflow parking area at the Cross County Mall and shuttle service to/from campus. Please note that parking on any side street or Kimball Avenue may result in a ticket from the City of Yonkers.
There will be shuttle service to/from the Metro-North Bronxville station before and after the ceremony.
Because we know how important this day is to students and their families, the College has arranged for a professional photographer to take a video of the entire ceremony as well as two pictures of every student. The first picture is taken as the student receives their diploma case from the president, and the second after the student has exited the stage, diploma case in hand. These pictures and the video will be available for purchase a few weeks after Commencement; an order form for the video and one for the still photographs will each be mailed to the student's home address. We hope that this will enable families to sit comfortably in their seats with the reassurance that they will have a professionally produced photographic recording of this very special moment. We ask parents and guests who feel they must take a photograph with their own camera to please be considerate of those around them and make note of our guidelines:
- Parents and guests should not stand up in their row, as this will block the view of those seated behind them
- Please do not block or stand in the aisles
Commencement Week Activities/Residence Hall Closings
Traditionally, Commencement Week is a wonderful opportunity for graduates to relax and spend time with their fellow graduates and faculty at events like the Senior Lecture and the Graduates Dance. Seniors are welcome to remain in their residence halls during this week but students must vacate their rooms before 8 p.m. on Friday, May 23. There can be no exceptions. Residence halls close on May 18 at 5 p.m. for other students that are not graduating.

Officially announced by Research In Motion (see press release) on Oct. 27th that it would be rolling out worldwide in the month of November, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is beginning to hit carriers around the world. My local Rogers store go them in stock today, so I rushed out to grab one and immediately put it down on the good 'ole green CrackBerry review table for a closer look. You can check out the video above for the ritual unboxing as well as some quick hardware comparisons to other BlackBerry device models and a look at BlackBerry 6.
As a one year refresh device compared to the BlackBerry Bold 9700, the BlackBerry 9780 isn't *that* much different. Visually, the black color version is more blacked-out around the edges. Inside, the memory is doubled up to 512MB of flash memory and the camera moves up from 3.2 to 5 megapixels. The chipset is updated to the same that is used in the Torch and Pearl 3G, which means it gets Wi-Fi N and has slightly better video recording resolution than the 9700. Last but not least, the Bold 9780 ships with BlackBerry 6 preloaded.
So while it may not be all that different from the BlackBerry Bold 9700, the 9700 was and still is a pretty awesome device and the 9780 simply improves upon. Some initial thoughts:
the brother Nov 9, 2010 at 4:04 pm
kev, could u let the nation know that i was FIRST? thanks :)
bold1193 Nov 9, 2010 at 5:16 pm
why didn't you buy the white one??????
al3azef Nov 23, 2010 at 5:01 am
I got a White one and it's really GREAT !
LOL, the title of make it sound so exciting and "NEW" phone.
damn I like that baby .. gona get one for sure :)
luqman24 Nov 11, 2010 at 1:31 am
Yeah, glad I waited out on this one since I still have the Bold 9000. Loved it but didn't like the trackball and the amount of memory so this should be absolutely perfect. And $560 is a pretty cheap price for a high end phone like this one.
wilsonryanp Nov 15, 2010 at 8:59 am
$560?? Its pried at $499 on Bell...
emirozmen Nov 23, 2010 at 10:01 am
plus tax maybe could be 560?
masareti_786 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:15 pm
nearly same as my 9700. black looks pretty cool. ive got os6 as well, so this isnt new for me.
freddymartinez9 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Kevin, why is there a booklet that says "BlackBerry Style" in the box?
BBThemes Nov 9, 2010 at 4:23 pm
i so want one of these in white
reverepats Nov 9, 2010 at 4:24 pm
great review KEV !!!!!..........looking good man
dalus87 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Sooooo whatchya gonna do with your 9700 Kevin? :)
*coughs* Contest!!! *clears throat*
JCjoel360 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Which Bold would you do it with..
I would Absolutely love a chance to win the special Canadian edition. But i highly doubt you'd give that up aha
raptorstv Nov 9, 2010 at 4:30 pm
tried calling rogers plus stores right after watching this vid, and they still didnt have any in stock :(
Crackberry Brandon Nov 9, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Why does it say September 29th on the phone. Is that just the default date or something?
Crackberry Brandon Nov 9, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Oh true. Were they maybe made or originally meant to come out on the 29th? Makes you think :P
raptorfan Nov 9, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Sorry if I missed it skimming through the vid, but what OS6 build is this running?
dbowe4415 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:40 pm
I'm happy for all those who will be getting this phone, it's definitely going the be the flagship phone to represent the "traditional" BlackBerry. I wish I could get it, but for now, I'll be content with my 9700.
rjnrobin1217 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I really like the black trim. Im running OS6 on my 9700, and have 0 issues so I dont see myself going out to grab this 9780 just yet. Good review as always though!
Thirty Hops Nov 9, 2010 at 4:50 pm
First I appreciate the fact you guys so quickly get this stuff on your Web Site.
I can't wait to get the 9780. I will be moving from the 8900 and really need AT&T to get this phone. But if I have to I will buy from another carrier for the $499.
Please post more videos of the camera. I was shocked on how fast it took photos. Was the auto focus and image stabilization turned off?
And you're right the phone would be perfect if the screen was a bit larger.
bosco388 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:50 pm
WTF? get on the ball!
JCjoel360 Nov 9, 2010 at 4:52 pm
It came preloaded with slacker radio or am i just stupid?
Kennedy.L Nov 9, 2010 at 10:07 pm
Yes, all OS6 phones that I have seen so far have come preloaded (9800 & 9780)
TheDroidKid Nov 9, 2010 at 4:53 pm
anyone else find it weird that my torch with apps on it has 298mb remaining and the 9780 with 6.0 without the touch screen has 255mb left?
Thirty Hops Nov 9, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Are there any draw backs at all when buying a phone from one carrier and activating on another carrier's network?
Kennedy.L Nov 9, 2010 at 10:08 pm
You may lose out on some warranty but I'm not sure about that.
tfrankson Nov 9, 2010 at 4:56 pm
BB, since Torch not coming to Tmo. Well, I did put BB6 leak on my 9700 put had memory leak. Didn't matter how many apps I del - not enough Ram.
MaddKidd Nov 9, 2010 at 4:56 pm
cant wait for at&t to get it.........
Having a phone that was supposed to be the top of line a year ago (Storm 2) and not even a comparison. No side by side. And worst no OS 6 for us. Depressing. All the neat new stuff and still OS 5 on the Storm 2. No love.
Good video though.
The Gift Nov 10, 2010 at 12:17 pm
I did! lol
spialelo Nov 17, 2010 at 4:47 pm
I was in the same boat two months ago and my Storm 2 kept freezing/overheating, even when I removed apps that I thought my be causing the issue. I sold the one Verizon sent me to replace the messed up one & got a Bold. I now have the Bold 9650. I'm happy with it & I know it will hold me over until 2012 when my contract is over.
I'm hoping that a cdma version will be coming out soon.
raskal1130 Nov 9, 2010 at 5:15 pm
I like the look but they need to remake the 9000 with all the new goodies, trackpad, better camera/memory, BB6 and all.... I also like the all black. Why RIM isn't listening to us 9000 users, I don't know. The keys on the 9780/9700 keyboard are smaller and is a bit of a pain. Hopefully they do it some day.
supermann423 Nov 9, 2010 at 5:34 pm
i cant wait for this phone for att or whoever. i switched to the dark side and got the iphone 4 and i am missing all the instant stuff!!! and i want it in white :)
Fr3lncr Nov 9, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Hi Kevin,
Does the 9780 really have 'n' standard wifi because RIM's web site states it has the same wifi as the 9700 (b and g).
If it does, that's great! It would help justify the upgrade!
google123 Nov 9, 2010 at 5:36 pm
I was thinking, cool, Virgin Mobile has replaced the Curve 8530 for their prepaid service!!!LOL
bluegreen1965 Nov 9, 2010 at 5:40 pm
'Nuff said.
jkpitcher Nov 9, 2010 at 5:43 pm
you say the 9700 or 9780 is the best form factor other than the bold 9000. But then you say the bold 9650 is to big. The 9000 is bigger than the 9650. Wouldn't the 9650 be a perfect compromise? I don't know, I just laugh everytime the crackberry guys talk about it.
joshua.worth Nov 27, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I had a few 9700's but couldn't deal with GSM in the USA and I've also had the 9630 and now the 9650 Tour and Tour 2 (Bold yada) after using them so long I kinda of enjoy the bulk albeit in a two hands on device sort of way. Two hands on the 9700 feels crapped but I can type with on hand on it. Where as two hands on the 9650 feels perfect and I can type much faster with two :)
Pilot Prop Nov 9, 2010 at 5:49 pm
i like my torch alot but i would love to get my hands on one of these!
experiment 626 Nov 9, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Have to like how the Style holds it's own against 9780.
Oh man that black trim really makes me want to trade in my 9700 for a 9780. Where can I buy a black chrome trim and pop that onto my 9700?

Kennedy.L Nov 9, 2010 at 10:16 pm
the 'rim' is called a bezel and check out ebay I have seen lots on there! well maybe not black chrome but its worth checking out.
gamecock425 Nov 9, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Can't wait to get this phone when it comes to AT&T hopefully soon! and can't wait to see the full review, great unboxing, thanks!
MissJennell#IM Nov 9, 2010 at 6:13 pm
I love that it is blacked out. Makes it look damn sexy! I would absolutely buy one.
This looks pretty impressive and really, really fast. I'd sure like to hear more about the Scarface BB (aka the (Tony) Montana) in the near future though.
mevolcom3 Nov 9, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Can you make a quick vid showing off the HQ vid quality of the 9780... or can you let us know the resolution it records in? THANKS!
Hello Kevin, I'm from Vancouver B.C. I called Rogers, they also said the phone isn't available for purchase yet. The technical support agent did state that they would be available in the upcoming days though and are available for "online" orders only. How & where did you get this!? lol.
soogriff Nov 9, 2010 at 6:38 pm
LOVE the blacked out BB. Very nice. Have a Torch now but if it ever breaks or gets lost, I would gladly get this phone.
great vid and CRAZY fast camera load.
but you said that youre going to use this as your main phone, might I ask why this over the torch? or have you always stuck with the 9700 and will upgrade to this instead of the torch?
im asking because im getting sick of my 8330 and need a new phone...
appreciate the insight.
and is it bad that I'm a grown (university) man yet I'm still giddy by the fact that crackberry Kevin replied to my question?
always thought you lived in Waterloo...
bxp24 Nov 10, 2010 at 12:24 am
What do you feel the touchscreen on this device really would add? I think touchscreens on these qwerty-bar phones cause a bit of OS identity crisis. Some things will be done using trackpad/keyboard, others will be done on the touchscreen. Plus, at that size, touchscreen use can feel cramped.
bahandi Nov 11, 2010 at 12:22 am
*GASP. Kevin, you know Winnipeg bans the use of handheld devices while behind the wheel. :P
I'm a little torn now too. I was so ready to get the Torch from my 8900 because of OS 6. I was pretty jealous that my wife was able to get it.
I then heard that the 9700 was able to get OS 6 so I bought my friend's. I must say, the form factor of the 9700 is PERFECT and it really is about getting things done. Come April, I'm going to need to think what I want more out of my phone.
rupalazzi Nov 9, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Great phone, since I live in Venezuela (it isn't the easyest place to get a Blackberry :s) I've been wating for this one to come out! Eager to get my hands on one of this babies.
DatBoyHam Nov 9, 2010 at 7:15 pm
But I have the 9700 with the leaked OS6 and it works just fine...
Trovo05 Nov 9, 2010 at 7:19 pm
verizon? i want it but that is the only blackberry ill stay for....other than that here i come droid.
dariuscuh Nov 10, 2010 at 6:10 am
it wont be on Verizon thats why they have the Droid Pro. Droid Pro or a BlackBerry refresh??? hmm...
The Consigliere Nov 9, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Looks sweet, I'm running the 9700 with AT&Ts latest 5.0 update & loving everything about it, if I had the extra cash to go out & get the 9780 when it hit AT&T I just might but I think I'm just gonna have to be content with admiring it from a distance at this point, unless I'm lucky enough to win one, lol. Looks great & I have to agree with Kevin that the form factor of the 9700/9780 is tip-top, I'm not a big "touch screen" guy & while I like the idea of the Pearl line, I think it would be just be too small for me for everyday use, my 9700 keeps me connected to everything perfectly.
This over the Torch anyday!
ELvolution Nov 9, 2010 at 8:02 pm
'I'd really like to RIM add a touchscreen to this form factor and somehow make the screen just a little bit bigger.'
Robbenezer Nov 9, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I knew I should've waited to get my 9700 two months ago lol
Uriel Contrerass Nov 9, 2010 at 8:21 pm
I'm new here and I have some questions to ask you! I like how you write and everything so yeah just have a few things I'm wondering about! Is their anyway I can email you or do you not take emails??
Noobie101 Nov 9, 2010 at 8:34 pm
hey is there any lagg scrolling through chats in bbm or sms? with os 6 like there is for 9700 os 6
I think chrome bezel is more attractive than all Black. Overall looks good. Camera is fast.
I always wish & believe that someday they'd put all latest goodies in bold 9000 form factor (non-touch screen). Leave touch-screen things to Iphone & android. BB touch screen is joke anyway.
kieln13 Nov 9, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Kevin i'm so jealous how do i get a job like yours lol... i know we don't see all the other stuff involved but even with that i think you have the best job and i want in!!!
this device along with the blackberry 6 operating system is easily 11 months late.
Kennedy.L Nov 9, 2010 at 10:04 pm
I picked up a 9780 today for my girlfriend and now of course she wants a pink case...
Does anyone know if the dimensions, ports, and buttons are all located the same as the 9700?
KodyShadow Nov 9, 2010 at 10:10 pm
I saw you had the Style along with the new 9780. Can you pls confirm for me if the Style has the 9700 keyboard, or the Torch keyboard, or some other variation? That will be the deciding factor for me, as to whether I get 9780 or wait for Style.Thanks for any info.
Nesquik Nov 9, 2010 at 10:15 pm
i think ive read that the keyboard on the style is different from the 9700 just as the torch is different. the keyboard on the style is more flat than the 9700.. not the same exact contour.
Kennedy.L Nov 9, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Today I got to play with this phone for about 15 minutes before my girlfriend snatched it back and my first impressions are very good! We bought a telus one at future shop for $99.99 and it even came with a powermat for free and the powermat battery door. Hell of a deal!
I'm using the torch 9800 and holding this phone almost made we want it but, nothing against the torch, I love it too.
OS6 is very nice on it and it has a real nice feel in my hands.
Miguelanator Nov 9, 2010 at 10:30 pm
will Verizon carry this phone?
dariuscuh Nov 10, 2010 at 6:06 am
i dont think they will, but for sure s3 will, well hopefully.
Nickmf Nov 9, 2010 at 10:38 pm
I thought (hoped) this bug was only on the 9700 OS6, but i guess its a general software issue. Notice at 4:46 Kevin losses the cursor off the screen when scrolling through the drop-down menu.
soo007 Nov 9, 2010 at 10:40 pm
I envy you guys at crackberry.com
You get to play with the newest toys!!!!!!!!!!!
(ahhhhh i turning into Hulk..... pulling my hair... ahhhhhhh)
I envy you!
Fifi22 Nov 9, 2010 at 10:52 pm
I want this phone to come out on Verizon so bad! Big Red needs a phone with at least 5MP camera on the roster.
jjtown Nov 9, 2010 at 11:22 pm
I noticed that the 9780 comes with a case in the box however if you go to the rogers web site and click on whats included there is no case listed any thoughts on this ???
commander 4 Nov 10, 2010 at 12:42 am
I love the all blacked out bezel on the Bold 9780. I hope RIM does that for the Torch like they have the fire red and snow white Torch out. Love BB6!!!
mariojcarrier Nov 10, 2010 at 1:51 am
Hey Kevin, can you tell us where it's made ? Don't tell me it's from Mexico! Just had a 9700 Made in Canada by returning it 4 times for loose bezel, wobbly trackpad. Now it feels way better than it use to be. Hope the 9780 is Made in Canada just like our Bold 9000... Simply the best, this is why I can't get rid of and I'm using it for heavy usage! Hahaha.
Best regards!
Erik L Nov 10, 2010 at 2:58 am
It seems to be a lot faster/snappier then the Torch, this makes the choice of which one to pick alot harder:P
thymaster Nov 10, 2010 at 3:03 am
I love it when Kevin does a review. He makes all BlackBerry phones look cool.
Dodger52 Nov 10, 2010 at 5:46 am
And don't forget the improved faster more efficient processor.
dariuscuh Nov 10, 2010 at 6:20 am
Really!? hold on let me ask u again Really!? that aint fast 1ghz snapdragon, 1.2ghz is fast u never see fast cause you never seen DROID *Droid 2 Global, Droid Pro, Droid X, and Droid Incredible* don't say fast unless you check those out.
dariuscuh Nov 10, 2010 at 6:04 am
Wow $499.99 off contract... 0_0 i guess you got money, anyways Blackout BB looks nice, still holding on my s2 my only hope for RIM is the s3. *depress mood* come on RIM =/
When is this thing coming out on Bell??
shupor Nov 10, 2010 at 10:10 am
Ok so i'm getting the phone when it comes out on tmobile but are you kidding me?
Fastest os6 experience to date?? There was no sim card in the darn thing so how can you tell that it's the fastest os6 experience just by scrolling from left to right?
All u gotta do is adjust d trackpad sensitivity and you get the same experience lol!!!
This has to be the most misleading write up ever.
HTC_Droid_EvO Nov 10, 2010 at 11:21 am
"As a one year refresh device compared to the BlackBerry Bold 9700, the BlackBerry 9780 isn't *that* much different."
Dont waste an upgrade, offical 6.0 on the 9700 or not. Wait it out cause maybe RIM will dish out something worth the swtich. This anit it.
puja_g Nov 10, 2010 at 11:55 am
For some people, the 9780 is a joke and not really worth an upgrade. But for some of us, who still have our old 8900's or even 83xx this phone is exactly what we've been looking for.. Even though, I am a little hesitant to get it, because RIM does like to shell out new devices, one right after the other.. But this will be perfect for me. Only if it'll be available in white, by the time I can get one. I'm getting tired of the same black phones, over and over again @_@
coallaw Nov 10, 2010 at 12:18 pm
The 9700 itself "rocks" with the new 6.0 leaked upgrade. I don't really see how the 9780 could be any faster (although I take your word for it). I suppose the camera is better and there will be a lot more room for applications - but, again, I have had 6.0 on my 9700 now for a week and it could not be snappier! Everything is just instant and even the camera snaps faster. Changing among applications is instant and the web is MUCH improved with the new browser. If you have a 9700, I suggest either putting the leaked 6.0 on it or waiting for an approved release BEFORE you go out and upgrade to a 9780. Your 9700 will have a completely new life with the new OS!

Hopefully around the time I plan to buy this phone it will drop from $499 to $399. Until then i'll be fine with my 9700(Running OS6) but i'm so loving this phone and my brother is getting this when it release on t-mobile.
cherellep21 Nov 10, 2010 at 1:23 pm
I am currently running os6 on my 9700 and LOVE it.
EXCEPT that running os6 on the 97xx size screen makes the home page look tiny when u have 1 row of icons showing.
your background has only a tinyyyyyyyyyy area of unobstructed view.
i've set my homescreen to have no icons showing so that it doesnt look so cramped, but its just not the same.

Does anyone know when and if this will be coming to at&t? ive had the 9000 for almost 2 years now and was thinking about the torch but if this is coming to at&t soon i would like to compare the 2 before i make a purchase
sfogle Nov 10, 2010 at 2:28 pm
I think it's a stretch, even for RIM, to call this "new". Aside from more internal memory, a 2MP improvement in the camera and WiFi "N", it's identical to the 9700, right? I am sure I left some things out, but I am running OS 6 on my 9700 and it's actually running BETTER than the OS 5- Tough for me to justify going out and spending $499 for those features when my 9700 is less than a year old.
todbanner Nov 10, 2010 at 6:07 pm
I shot round to my local ATT shop last night to have a look at this bad boy. Sadly I was told that it looks like its coming to Tmo :(
I did find out thought that they dropped the Torch to $99 with a contract... Nice!
vaahtera Nov 10, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I hate it. Why the hell did they choose to loose the chrome ?! It's ugly !
All black, like going to a funeral. I know it's called a BlackBerry but come on...
The Bold 9000 it's SEXY. I love every bit of it, I love the full leather back (I mean just having a patch of leather like the 9780 is pure ugliness. Just decided leather or no leather).
The Bold 9000 has that sexy chrome bezel and the leather back and the chrome around the camera... oh man it's so sexy. I refuse to buy another BlackBerry because of the Bold 9000 being too beautiful. Keep the damn Bold 9000 format and just upgrade the hardware.
BTW: Does anyone know if I could, in some way, any way, upgrade my hardware of my Bold 9000 ? I just don't want another phone except the Bold and the Bold 9780 is just plain ugly and I refuse to buy it. I would rather buy an iPhone instead of the Bold 9780 which I repeat: IS UGLY. IT NEEDS THE CRHOME (or better yet, a stainless steel or titanium bezel).

I will be upgrading my BB 8320 when T-Mobile gets in stock on 11-17-2010
phonejunky Nov 10, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I honestly was going to watch this video until i realized it's just a 9700 with 6.0 you can watch the Torch review and figure it out, nothing really spectacular here. But i do have a question do you you think the corporate world will love this modernized so to say Blackberry? OR will they jump ship to that new Android Blackberry form factored device.
kev_give_me Nov 10, 2010 at 7:20 pm
kevin~i noticed when you said that this is the phone your gonna start using and i'm just wondering how many Blackberries do you have and if i could get one =D?
flipper11 Nov 10, 2010 at 8:27 pm
all I can say is.........sweeeet!
bagusprasojo88 Nov 10, 2010 at 9:48 pm
kevin, how about the SAR of 9780? is it similar like 9700?
Noobie101 Nov 11, 2010 at 1:44 am
absolutely love this phone. love the black look
zensen Nov 11, 2010 at 5:48 am
Hey Kev... one of your points is. You wish they will have a phone like this one day with a touchscreen with a much bigger screen. at this size, it wouldn't work but at with the bold 9000 it could unless they made the 9780 longer.
Secondly, who needs a bigger screen or touch screen now that the PlayBook will solve all those problems ;)
smaller phone and nice 7" companion tablet for all your screen size needs..
the 9780 looks great though, I don't find the chrome look that great and so this dark bezel does enough to make it "fresh"
spoonman9696 Nov 11, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Have you checked to see if your colorware parts from your 9700 will fit on your 9780? They don't have anything available yet for the 9780 so I was wondering if I could just order 9700 parts instead
icycoldice Nov 11, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Does anyone know if Rogers has it in white?
Fr3lncr Nov 11, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Virgin Mobile does have it in white though. Check BestBuy Canada's web site.
Fr3lncr Nov 11, 2010 at 10:55 pm
We looked into this in the forums and it seems the new 9780's do not have an upgraded chipset for faster wifi. It's the same as the 9700 (b/g only). We have confirmation for Rogers and Telus sets so far.
However, some with pre-release devices have 'n' wifi.
I hope this is in fact true and that Kevin didn't buy one that had 'n' wifi because that would result in a return and trying to find one that had it.
Hopefully this will get looked at in the full review.
BerryPotter Nov 12, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Does anyone know if and when the 9780 is coming to AT&T?
If they don't get it by 12/1 i'm going to T-mobile.
ItsaRaid Nov 15, 2010 at 12:15 pm
When is AT&T going to shake the 9780 loose and make it available to all of us Loyalists, If they keep this up, your going to have to offer a "Lamazz Class" before it finally gives birth on AT&T

I so freakin love the new look Crackberry. Great idea.
strawberry50 Nov 23, 2010 at 2:02 pm
That looks awesome! gotta upgrade to that, and I'll keep my 9700 as a spare. maybe i can win one...wink, wink!
rlfricke216 Nov 24, 2010 at 6:47 pm
GSM Networks get all the good looking Blackberrys... I'd like to see the 9780 come to Verizon in white cause the 9650 is not cutting it and i'm trying to upgrade from my 9530 asap
i currently have the 9700... i'm not a fan... i miss my Bold 9000... do u know if OS 6 will be available for the Bold 9000?? if so i'm going to go purchase a new 9000 within the next few weeks

The Best Vegan Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe
Karina's Notes:
For those cooking gluten-free, the trick with baking gluten-free pasta in a casserole is: do not over-boil it. Keep it al dente because it continues to cook in the sauce when you bake it. For quick and easy stove-top cookery, cook the pasta until done and add it to the hot cooked sauce; stir gently to combine. Serve.

Heart's Ann Wilson Reveals She's Three Years Sober
Thursday, August 30, 2012
Among the revelations in Heart's upcoming autobiography, Kicking And Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul And Rock And Roll, is that Ann Wilson battled alcoholism and is celebrating three years sober. Although Wilson chose to go cold turkey, entered into therapy, and avoided any 12-step programs, she told Ultimate Classic Rock, that having a clear head made the music on the group's upcoming album, Fanatic, come together, revealing, "(It's like) the effect of kind of lifting a tarp off of me, creatively. I was having so much trouble writing songs and just coming up with ideas when I was still drinking. Once I stopped, and have been going through this whole process of recovery and everything, it's just as if the tarp has come off and I'm just more aware."
She went on to add: "It's all about mindfulness and being aware that the very reason why you drink is to protect yourself from all of these things that hurt and in the meantime, you protect yourself from everything good too. So it really has helped a lot."
Ann said that when she and sister Nancy Wilson started compiling Heart's new box set, Strange Euphoria, there was no committee of management, label heads -- or even friends -- that had input on the way the collection ended up: "Well, the interesting thing is that we've never thought of Heart as sounding like anything in particular. Y'know, we've always had a way that we've gone about doing our music; it's been outside forces that have said, 'Well, this is what Heart is supposed to sound like.' So on this box set, we don't even address what people outside of the Nancy and Ann world think. Y'know, we've got this together ourselves, there's just no outside influence on this, really."

It was a "fudge up" that still haunts me to this day. Many, many moons ago, two friends and I were enjoying a solid day of dolphin fishing off Key Largo. With a boxful of fish, we began the 22-mile cruise back to the boat ramp. To save cleanup time, I put my friend behind the wheel and unrigged our trolling baits, save for one large mackerel and an unrigged ballyhoo that might serve as a pitch bait.
About 15 miles from shore, we spotted an excited frigate bird low on the water, and under it was the largest bull dolphin I had ever seen. I'm still embarrassed to guess its weight for fear people won't believe me, but it appeared to be as large and nearly as wide as a screen door. To be conservative, it was an easy 70-plus pounds.
I grabbed a 20-pound-class spinning outfit, impaled our one and only fresh ballyhoo on a dolphin jig, and stood ready to cast, just behind the console. My heart raced when the huge dolphin swam toward the boat. I reared back to make a cast, thinking, "I've got this fish now." But when I launched my cast, something terrible happened: I snagged the outrigger and halyard. Line, leader and outrigger were so tangled that I couldn't undo the mess. The big dolphin swam out of sight. We trolled the big mackerel around that spot for at least 30 minutes but never saw that fish again. Had I taken one brief second to calm down and look behind me before casting, I swear that fish would now be hanging on my office wall.
Paying attention to what is around you before casting is paramount to averting disaster, like my flubbed cast. I learned the hard way; I've never made this mistake again. There is a lot to fine-tuning your casting, to consistently place a lure or bait smack in front of a fish's snout. Here are some of the fundamentals necessary to transform your casting into a fish-producing art form.
Inshore Insights
Offshore fishing provides latitude, and sometimes even forgiveness, when casting to individual and schooling fish. That's mainly because there are few fixed obstructions and confined areas that demand precisely accurate casts. Land a bait near an offshore game fish, and it will usually swim to it. For those reluctant feeders, reel that same bait up ahead of the fish, and try teasing it into striking. Rarely do inshore anglers fishing in tight confines have this luxury, save for locating schooling bluefish, striped bass, jack crevalle and, occasionally, red drum and tarpon in open waters.
Ready, Aim, Fire!
To precisely deliver a bait to within inches of your target, think of your rod as a gun, and imagine the front guide is the sight. Hold the rod vertically in front of you, and then lower it until you line up the tiptop with your target. Wind the lure to near the rod tip, open the bail, bring the rod back to vertical, and make a quick, sharp and straight cast. This tactic delivers more accuracy than a side-arm cast.
Of course, the velocity of the cast and any directional compensation should be determined by wind direction and strength, and the speed of a cruising fish. In a stiff breeze, it's essential to put more power behind the cast to drive the lure through the wind. A slower, softer cast will be influenced greatly by strong winds, causing the lure to miss its mark like a Florida State field-goal kicker aiming for the uprights. Also, when dealt a brisk side breeze, compensate by casting a bit more into it, so the wind will still deliver the lure on target rather than downwind from it.
When pitching to a cruising fish, calculate the fish's heading and speed, and any wind, and then aim to place the lure in front of it. The goal is not only to intercept the swimming fish with your bait, but also to prevent the splash from spooking it. This is most crucial in shallow water, where fish are ultrasensitive to threats.
Lead distance varies with species and depth of water. As a general rule, inshore cruising fish require greater lead — roughly five or six feet — than offshore fish, which often pounce on a bait dropped a few feet in front of them. When a fish is rooting on the bottom, it becomes a matter of casting a few feet in front of and beyond it, and slowly working the lure into their path of travel.

(WJBK) -- Get this recipe courtesy of The Big Salad owner John Bornoty. Learn more about his locations at www.thebigsalad.net.
Inspired by the Tuscan countryside, this gluten free soup features plump chicken meatballs, acini di pepe pasta and fresh vegetables.Ingredients2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil2 carrots, peeled and chopped2 ribs celery, chopped1 medium onion, chopped1 red bell pepper chopped2 bay leaves, fresh or driedSalt and freshly ground black pepper1 pound ground beef and pork combined1 egg, beaten2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 cup grated Romano1/2 cup plain bread crumbs1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning6 cups chicken stock or broth2 cups water1 1/2 cups dried pasta1 pound fresh escarole or endive, torn in piecesCalories: 90 per servingDirectionsIn a deep pot over medium heat add oil, chopped carrots, celery, red pepper, onions and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook veggies 5 or 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the veggies cook, combine meat, egg, garlic, grated cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper. Uncover your soup pot and add broth and water to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil. When soup boils, reduce heat a bit and start to roll meat mixture into small meat balls, dropping them straight into the pot. You are making meat balls that will cook in the broth. When you are done rolling the meat, add pasta to the soup and stir. Cover and simmer soup 10 minutes. When pasta is tender, stir in chopped escarole. When escarole has wilted into the soup, the soup is done and ready to serve. Adjust your seasonings.

"Playing first base, you realize there are lot of guys who put up great numbers," Thome said. "Anytime you get invited, it's an honor. I remember as a kid in my backyard going, 'I want to be this player or that player.' I've always looked at [the All-Star Game] as a privilege and an
honor, because you get to represent your city and your club."
The 15 homers tied the franchise mark for homers in a month with Cy Williams, who turned that trick in May 1923. On June 14, Thome reached a milestone when he clubbed career homer No. 400. The next day, he became the first player to hit 20 homers this season.
"Everyone wants to be around him. His home runs aren't just home runs, either. They're home runs! My friends all talk about Jim Thome. They love his swing. They love watching him take batting practice."
Thome has one hit in five All-Star at-bats, but has walked three times and driven in a run. The hit came in 1999. More memorable than that, Thome recalled, was the 1997 game, when he got to play in front of the home fans at Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
The day before the game, Thome will have more pride at stake when he competes in the home run derby.
Left-hander Eric Milton, who won his 11th game Sunday, was not named to the team. His 4.48 ERA might have been the reason he wasn't selected.
"I'll try not to think about it. I know a lot of other guys were left off," Milton said.

text: "I love how our Christmas cards turned out. One thing that I did was that I rotated my pictures so that the card was actually vertical. I thought it would look better hanging on the fridge, or wall or where ever people put their Christmas cards if the words and pictures were going the same way. I also like that it is a postcard so you save money on postage ;). My one complaint was that it took over a week for me to receive my order. I was given a 4 day window and it came even after that, which is frustrating when you pay money for cards during the holiday season, you want them out sooner rather than later!"

A round of applause for cute hubby and all his hard work (exhibit A... too cute), and for you also and your helpful assistance;)- I mean someone has to document all this progress, right? And that's hard work too!
happy weekend to you both! j.

I just found your blog, and it's absolutely fantastic! One day my husband and I hope to buy a house and fix it up, and I just got a ton of inspiration photos from you guys! As for your patio light, maybe something like this from bellacor would be pretty: http://www.bellacor.com/productdetail/506772.htm. It might be worth it to frost the glass, and there's tons of other lantern pendants, but you can't beat it for price!

It's been worth while the long wait and effort as this patio looks great. Every time you sit there it will put a smile on your face, such satisfaction. Love the setting and those urns too.

As I contemplate putting my home on the market in the spring, your photos are helping me create my "wish list" for the next home. Having an outdoor entertaining area, like yours, is going to be a must!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This comment comes a little late afte the post was written but anyways... I was wondering, your flowers, the hydrangeas? seem very well established for the new patio area. Where did you get them?

So when you made the patio, did you leave natural dirt space for planting, or did you make planters and fill with dirt for the bushes against the house?

Hi Where Fish Live,
We created the beds and then rocked around them. I knew I wanted to plant hydrangeas on the patio so it was part of the plan from the get go.

Trina, It is all so beautiful. Love the new Dining patio and furniture, but where did you get the old white folding chairs? I need some for a large holiday gathering, and I have seen them before but now can't remember where? Thanks, Hilary

Wow - Your patio has to be one of the most beautiful and inpsiring gardens I have seen for along time. I blog and am on pinterest and believe me I do see alot of garden images! Hydrangeas, box planting and a beautiful simple elegance vibe. Off to see the rest of your stuff now and I will definitely be adding my name to one of your many followers! Sinead

Your patio is beautiful! We are looking to build some retaining walls and I was wondering where you purchased the stone you used (or the name of the stone if you remember). We live in the Midwest, so I'm not sure if it is available nationally, but it's worth an ask. ;) Thanks!!!

Hi Trina, I'm a new follower...just found your blog but I couldn't tell you how. I'm one of those lurkers that love to admire everyone's beautiful spaces usually via people's linky parties. I started setting up my own blog but never finished and probably couldn't even find it if I tried. Just seems like a huge complicated committment to keep a up blog. I wanted to say tho that I love what I've seen on yours (you and your husband are such a cute couple)and plan to read every post eventually. You two have done a beautiful job and inspire me to finish and try to make our home as pretty as yours. I love it. Have a great week, leslie

Wow, that looks like tons of work! But it really looks amazing. Great job! I've been trying to find a way to install lighting on my deck, but it looks like a lot of work as well.

Love the look and feel of this space. You did a great job with the greenery and the flowers. Beautiful!

Hi Trina,
I would love to do something like this at my own old farmhouse in Maryland. Roughly how big is the "usable surface" of the patio - ie, not including steps, etc.
Your home is so lovely!
- April 27, 2013 at 11:49 AM
We are just starting our patio and I stumbled across your pictures just in time! There are a few changes I'd like to make to our design based on some of the ideas you used:) Can you tell me, how did you secure the walls of your patio? We will also have a short wall around ours and I wasn't sure if you used glue to secure it. Also, what type of pavers did you use?
Love this patio! Would be so excited if our turned out half as beautiful as yours!
- May 8, 2013 at 9:44 PM

They lock in place, but also Mike glued the tops of them. The retaining wall was so low that these types of pavers could be used. The brand escapes me...But I'm sure it's a design most companies use.
Good luck!
