Here is the story of how Ben Modor bought the Pawtucket Red Sox and how you can get started to get a piece of your own team.
While the Pawsox name seems natural, it was caused by lack of funds. In 1977, the team lacked uniforms as the season was about to open. Boston General Manager Haywood Sullivan sent Pawtucket 48 sets of old Uniforms (Home and Away) from the Parent Club. The Road Uniforms had ""Boston"" stiched across the Uniform Top. Mike Tamburro suggested the moniker PawSox, taking out the stitching of the Boston letters and replacing them with the letters for PawSox
What Pawtucket Red Sox player should be called up next and what Red Sox player should be sent down?

I Win Lyrics - Marvin Sapp
I've had my share of tears,
Times when I wanted to give in,
Seems like the day would never come.
But I had to encourage me
And find the strength to believe that I..
I am an over-comer
I know I can conquer anything
With Jesus I am an over-comer...
You say it's just too hard,
And you've lost your confidence in GOD
You see you let circumstance control...
But if you just believe,
You can do anything….
You can say to yourself
I am an over-comer
sponsored linksI know I can conquer anything,
With Jesus I am an over-comer
In every adversity,
You should stand strong,
And claim victory's on the way
Because out of your obstacle,
God's working miracles
You will soon have confidence
In every experience
Say, I decree it
And I declare
I know that I shall win.
All you gotta say is this
(I decree it) Say I decree it,
(Declare) And I declare it.
I shall win
Everybody help me sing..
I decree it,
I shall WIN
[Vamps on till the end of the song with preaching in between]

3.25/5 rDev -13.8%
Pours 1/2 finger of off white head. Good retention with lace left all the way. Color is a clear amber copper.
Aroma: Very Malty. A lot of English flavored malts. Grassy bittering hops. Caramel and biscuits. Pale malts also.
Taste: Sweet. Toffee and caramel. Big biscuit flavors. Grassy and weedy. Has a flavor I can't figure out. It is kind of buttery. Very English-like.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, but dry. Medium bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends dry and sticky.
Overall: I liked the infused ones better. This was straight up English, but very hoppy for an English beer. Decent.

A special Bitter honoring Don Younger. Pretty big Bitter at 8% but I do enjoy this style a lot. Drank from a generic pint glass.
Appearance- Pours a light copper orange with a decently fluffy half fingered bright white head. A nice cap and collar are maintained along with a touch of random lacing.
Smell- Like most Bitters the nose isn't overpowering or particularly exciting. A light grassy hop is present that leans toward almost dirty or earthy. A touch of malt sweetness is discernable as light caramel wafts about.
Taste- Starts lightly bitter (seriously) with the same sort of grassy hoppiness I got in the nose. Its earthy and vegetable like in its hoppiness. A light sweetness hides under everything with a touch of toast and brown sugar. The sweetness sort of lingers into the finish but I can't believe this beer is 8%. Gotta be a misprint.
Mouthfeel- Pretty solid beer as the body is full and rich with a fairly loud bite of carbonation. All things considered I wish the carbonation was just a touch softer.
Drinkability- Overall I really enjoyed the beer as it was a good representation of the style (minus the 8%). Although the booze wasn't noticeable in the slightest, I think of a Bitter as a beer I can drink all day and/or night. 8% doesn't subscribe to that thought. Enjoyable but certainly not sessionable.

3.6/5 rDev -4.5%
On tap at the brewery poured into a sampler glass. Clear copper red pour, a decent amount of very light brown head, ok lacing and retention. Aroma is a bit of sweet malt, some biscuit, floral hops, some grass. Flavor is malt forward, with sweet crystal flavors giving way to decent hop bitterness on the back end. Quite creamy. Overall, a fairly enjoyable brew that is a fitting tribute to Don!

3.68/5 rDev -2.4%
Clear and deep honey orange with an off white creamy head. The head retention and lacing are good for the the size of the head.
With rich residual sugars, notes of fruit (banana, caramelized apple), and dark fruit, this beer has the potential for greatness. And still, the presence of this beer is unimpressive. The body is thin and the excellent flavors don't seem to last on the palate.
Finish is slightly tannic, noticeably so with warmth, and sweet, even though strong bitterness kicks in towards the end. I think that the bitterness is a little discordant.
Eventually the alcohol gets noticeable to an interfering extent and definitely affects the scores.
As noted, there is potential for greatness but needs tweaking. And the lack of body is a minus.

As a Portlandian whose had the pleasure of pints with Don, I'm very happy to see MTH paying him the respect he deserves with an honorary brew.
On draught at the Town Hall, The Don is is pale chestnut brown with a small off-white head leaving no lace.
Smell is malty, a bit sweet, hint of leafy hops, some all-spice.
Taste is similar, pretty generic malty strong ale. I can taste the ESB influence, some breadiness, but really not a lot of character. Pretty similar to his Rogue imperial ESB, I'm sure he would have enjoyed it, it's smoothness being it's best attribute. A little graham cracker on the finish is nice.
Mouthfeel is fully carbonated, but soft, and medium-light bodied.
Drinkability is pretty high, I can definitely see slugging back these more then I realized, would be a good beer for a long session of BS at the brass. Miss you Don, thanks for all you did for good beer in Portland and beyond!

Poured on tap into a 10 oz snifter
A- Head dissipates quickly, brown copper appearance, very clear, filtered, little if any carbonation, lacing sticks to the glass.
S- Sweet, caramel, molasses, hints of dark fruits, brown sugar, malts as well.
T- Malts, toffee, caramel, it's definitely a sipper, slight bitterness as well, very warming as it goes down your throat.
M- Low carbonation, medium mouth feel, very sticky on the palate.
O- Unique brew, very tasty, it's a sipper, warms up the stomach; it's a decent beer, but not one that really stands out.

Draft. Pours into a pint glass a copper red color with a 1 finger light tan head. The aroma is pretty clean with slight notes if toasted bread and caramel. Sweet bready caramel flavor upfront transitions to some hop bitterness notes, but nothing too extreme. The 8% is not noticeable at all and is deceivingly drinkable. Minimal lace.

4.03/5 rDev +6.9%
This beer pours a semi-hazy red color. The head is half an inch in height, and recedes quickly into minimal lacing. The aroma is of cherries, toffee, caramel, and a hint of hibiscus. The taste is full of caramel and toffee with a nice floral and honey aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation, and a velvety texture. Overall, this is a really unique beer. I don't recall ever encountering a beer with the combination of flavors and aromas that this beer has. Every sip is interesting, and I can't ask for much more from a beer than that.

From the brewery: This Special Bitter was made in memory of Don Younger of the famed Horse Brass Pub in Portland, OR. Thanks Don for inventing beer bars!
Also, I heard report that it was a "revamped, beefed-up Single Malt"
Either way...
Clear, brilliantly bronze appearance, high carbonation, firm, solid, slightly beige-ish head of foam. Looks great.
Sweet, malty aromatics, caramel, toast, a little nutty, a little creamy, with a touch of hops.
Tasting it: Smooth, lush fruity malt flavor abounds, with snappy hops kicking in. Feels like some good ol' citrus-y Pac NW goodness coming through. Malt sweetness comes back with every sip, and hop bitterness steps in to keep it in check. We call that balance. It's tasty and it's balanced.
A very sessionable English-style bitter, with a bit of good ol' American hop character thrown in, to illustrate, perhaps, what a guy like Don Younger was all about.

1. DETOXIFY - See Suppléments and De-toxification. ( I believe that freshly extracted raw vegetable juice will directly nourish the brain to reduce grey matter atrophy which is a known cause of decline in MS, especially Progressive MS.)
2. OPTIMAL NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS - Paleo-Macrobiotic Diet
CCSVI - See Acupuncture (which includes Tens Self Acupressure)
Simple blood/cerebrospinal
fluid circulation thérapies such massage, acupuncture, neuro-muscular electrical stimulation,
osteopathy, or swimming may suffice. I do daily Tens self acupressure
treatments to stay afloat and try to get an acupuncture or osteopathic
treatment once a month. A serious venous blockage may require ANGIOPLASTY. Prior to taking that decision, one might consult a specialist in skeletal disorders (e.g. Chiropractors or Osteopaths) to be certain a bone, muscle, tendon etc is not obstructing the vein.
UP PROGRESSIVELY (Consulting a Physical Therapist can help)
See as well - Five CCSVI MS Types (Congenital, Developmental, Aging, Skeletal, or Toxic M.S.)
I have used energy therapies which enhance blood circulation - Acupuncture, Self-Acupressure, Kinesiology, Osteopathy (France) Chiropractic (USA), Physical Therapy, Massage, Swimming. These may enhance cerebrospinal fluid circulation as well, thus maintaining a brain "fluid" equilibrium. I've decided to begin Deep breathing Meditation to overcome my natural tendency to tense up which must hinder fluid circulation in my entire body. I treat myself daily with Self Acupressure and swim if possible - the BEST way to get the fluids flowing f(and overcome the depression caused by fluid stagnation.) I try to get a neck/back adjustment at least once a month. ff I can swim I don't need an Acupuncture treatment, otherwise I try to get one treatment a month. If stressed I ask for a brief neck and upper back massage to push the blood down towards the heart. An emotional shock requires IMMEDIATE attention to stop the blood reflux.

While many of us have been spending time with family and friends, The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs says many wounded soldiers can't make it home to see their loved ones.
But, a new program called Operation Hero Miles, brings the family to the soldier by using your unused frequent flyer miles.
Hero Miles provides travel for families of American military men and women who are being treated for injury at military hospitals.
"Frequent flier miles that are going to expire or if you just aren't going to use them, it's a good way to get rid of those and it's also a good way to help the community," said Stacy McClelland with Quincy Travel Discount.
For more information on how to donate your unused frequent flier miles and what airlines are included in the program click http://www.fisherhouse.org/programs/hero-miles/

This is a really lovely Martini that is not overly sweet, nor overly fruity. The Green Carnation is a lot like the Greentini, it just adds lime juice and Benedictine, which contributes a dry, herbal aspect to the fruitiness of the rest of the drink.
In keeping with the name, this cocktail is very green and is an ideal, well-balanced drink for any occasion in which color matters.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 3 minutes
Yield: 1 Cocktail
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 ounce Midori Melon Liqueur
- Splash of Benedictine
- Splash of lime juice
- Shake the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Kids getting ready to go back to school might be more focused on after school sports than their studies, but if you're a parent, you likely want to know what your particular school district wants from you before your kids can hit the field.
KSFY News received a letter from a viewer, questioning a school district's requirement that students have medical insurance before they can make the team. With school starting shortly, many districts across our viewer area have held meetings with parents who want to sign their kids up for after school sports.
Contact sports don't come without risks, so some school districts require students to have medical insurance in order to play. Those districts give the option of using your own insurance or taking out a school-time policy. A few districts have no insurance requirement.
KSFY News spoke with some districts on our area. Sioux Falls and Brookings require medical insurance to play after school sports, while Yankton and West Central do not. Huron recommends that students have insurance.
If you have existing medical insurance for your family, those districts that require insurance are not asking for additional coverage. If you don't have insurance, check with your district for information on student accident policies. Overall, your child will not be denied playing sports if your check with your local school about other options available.

Disunion follows the Civil War as it unfolded.
The summer of 1864 found Abraham Lincoln, and the Union war effort, in a conundrum: The Northern public desperately wanted an end to the war, and yet the two possibilities – a negotiated peace or a military victory – seemed increasingly remote. But if he wanted to win reelection in the fall, he had to show movement on one front or the other.
A negotiated treaty with the United States by the Confederate government would have meant recognition of the Confederacy as a separate nation, built on slavery, terms that Lincoln refused to meet. Meanwhile, the two principal Union armies were bogged down in front of Richmond and Atlanta, with 95,000 total casualties; Union casualties between May 5 and July 4 were 60 percent of the total losses for the previous three years. The New York World, a Democratic newspaper, asked, "Who shall revive the withered hopes that bloomed at the opening of General [Ulysses S.] Grant's campaign" to take Richmond?
The World blamed the president. Copperheads — the peace wing of the Democratic Party — shouted even louder against the war in their newspapers. More and more of Lincoln's opponents openly declared that the Confederacy could never be beaten. Some Republicans were equally despondent. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Wells wrote, "The immense slaughter of our brave men chills and sickens us all." Read more…

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Scott Melnick on December 5, 2007 at 12:52 PM.
The FHWA and state DOT engineers in attendance at this year's World Steel Bridge Symposium (going on right now in New Orleans) are hot and heavy to improve the accelerated construction of bridges. "80% of bridges on the interstate system are single span, 30 m or less, and many are in need of replacement," explained Bill Wright of the FHWA. The goal is to develop systems that offer rapid construction, 100-year durability, and are cost effective in terms of initial and life-cycle cost. And the solution they're looking at now points towards a prefabricated system that can be quickly moved into position with minimal disruption to traffic.
During the next five years, the FHWA will spend nearly $3 million annually on a variety of projects that will directly impact the steel bridge community, including:
- Optimized welding (including robotics);
- HPS corrosion resistance;
- One-coat shop coatings;
- Innovative designs (testing and evaluating rapid bridge construction concepts);
- Precision measuring of components to eliminate the need for shop assembly to ensure fit-up correctness;
- Shop automation; and
- Technology transfer.
Some of the intriguing programs currently being researched focus on using GMAW for HPS and developing Hybrid Laser Assisted Welding (HLAW). Work on the former is being done by Yoni Adonyi up at LeTourneau University, while the latter project is being spearheaded by High Steel Structures. Innovative work also is being done by Mittal and Lehigh on advanced corrosion resistance in the next generation of high performance steel, while work at Northwestern University focuses on optimizing the current generation of HPS. Meanwhile, the FHWA is working on re-writing their standards for the use of weathering steel to further promote this product.
According to Wright, the next generation of bridges will offer integrated structure and deck so the system can be dropped in place quickly. The goal is to meet a 100 ft span with single-crane erection and a maximum erection time of one week.
A parallel effort is underway with the Transportation Research Board, which has contracted with HNTB on a program for Innovative Bridge Design for Rapid Renewal. The goal is to develop "standardized approaches to designing, constructing, and reusing complete bridge systems." The system developed will offer the rapid replacement while the existing bridge is in-place while minimizing disruption to traffic.
Phase one, which has just started and is expected to last a year, includes a literature review and focus groups around the country. If you'd like to contribute to the project or participate in a focus group, please contact Frank Russo at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What Are You Most Thankful For?
by Renee Vaughn
posted May 25 2011 6:40AM
Everyday presents not just another moment of life but the challenges that always seem to go right along with it! But in this blog I just take a moment to reflect on the people who have made each and everyday possible...first and foremost I will ALWAYS give thanks to my God, whom of course without Him there would be NO me!!! Family- way too many to mention :-) but they know who they are and that I love each and every one of them very much....my 'extended' family known as radio, and that means YOU 97.1 QMG listeners...just thank you for the love and support you have shown and continue to show...especially in my ten years with this station. QMG has survived and thrived because of loyal listeners like yourselves, or if you're a 'newbie', you are definitely family to me as well! No doubt you have many reasons to be thankful in your everyday lives, as I once again 'thank you' for letting me share that life isn't always going to be easy or care-free, but thankful that I have an opportunity to (try) live life to its fullest!!!

Jorge Drexler Radio
Uruguayan singer/songwriter Jorge Drexler got involved in music while learning how to play piano at the age of five. Later, he attended guitar and composition classes. It was in 1989 when Drexler began songwriting, recording his first album, called La Luz Que Sabe Robar, in 1992 and Radar in 1994. A year later he moved to Spain, having the opportunity to perform live along with Joaqu+¡n Sabina, Pablo Milan+¬s, and V+¡ctor Manuel, among others. After signing up to Virgin Records, Vaiven was produced by Gonzalo Lasheras, followed by Llueve in 1998. Later, he teamed up with Peyote Asesino's Juan Campod+¦nico and Carlos Casacubierta to make Frontera, released in 1999. ~ Drago BonacichPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Submit your questions, through our easy to use form, to our team of mature Christians known as the Email Evangelists!
Did you know that God can speak directly to you from the Bible if you'll only ask Him to? You can understand the basics of the Bible all by yourself, just by reading his Word. You do not need a priest, preacher, scholar, church denomination, etc. to interpret it for you. God will show you the way. But, in order for God to speak to you, you must put aside your preconceptions and ask Him to speak to you from His Word.
Have you ever questioned the traditions of religion that have been passed down through the ages? Where did they come from? Did they really come from the Bible? Are you willing to put aside any preconceived notions or beliefs revolving around God, Jesus, salvation, heaven and hell, death, the afterlife and the purpose and destiny of man? If you are willing to approach the Scriptures with an open mind and a willingness to believe what God teaches you, your studies will open up vistas of truth that will amaze you.
You can never go wrong with obtaining a King James translation of the Bible. Although some of its words are a bit dated, many reference tools such as Strong's Concordance are keyed to its verses. You can purchase this translation, at a very reasonable price, through online retailers like Amazon. If you simply don't have the money to buy a copy of God's word, organizations like The Gideons provide them for free in such places as motels and hotels. You may also wish to try contacting a local church in your area. One sure way of obtaining a copy is to use a search engine like Google or Bing!, search using the phrase 'free bibles,' then visiting a few sites.
Another translation we highly recommend, which is used frequently on this site, is called The Holy Bible in its Original Order.
For a brief synopsis on more than 20 popular and widely used Bibles please see our article on comparing translations.
If you own a computer or have access to one I suggest purchasing Bible Software, which can greatly enhance your studies. I use a package called Quickverse. The software comes with many translations, commentaries, handbooks, books on history, maps, charts, photos, art, sermon helps, word studies and so on. For the new student, it offers the ability to view translations side by side. which comes with lots of translations, study helps and so on.
There are also some very helpful FREE software programs you can use. One that comes immediately to mind, which is used for researching new materials for the site, is E-Sword. The program is available for free download at e-sword.net. This software is quite versatile. It comes with some Bible translations, maps, pictures, charts, images, reference books such as The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, Numbers in Scripture, The Temple during the Time of Jesus and several others. Also included are commentaries, dictionaries, studies, etc. Another free program to try is called OnlineBible, which can be downloaded from OnlineBible.net.
I highly suggest visited the site's Software page to review some of the more widely-used programs and study tools.
People today, unlike any other time in human history, have access to a plethora of books dedicated to aiding research into the word of God. This every-growing collection includes dictionaries, commentaries, interlinears, word studies, lexicons, Biblical maps and still more. Although the selection of tools available to the average student of the Bible is truly amazing, choosing an initial set of basic reference works can seem daunting. Biblestudy.org, however, can make your selection a bit easier. We suggest getting a copy of the following books to start your own personal library of study helps.
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
Nave's Complete Word Study Topical Bible
New Unger's Bible Dictionary
Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon
Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament
New International Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties
New Manners and Customs of Bible Times
FREE stuff
The site has been offering FREE study materials since 1996. Some of the site's most popular FREE basic tools for beginning to study the word of God include the following.
Old Testament Timeline - Discover the dates for major Biblical events from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus Christ!
Bible Timeline Made Easy - Short, to-the-point lessons to help you learn the story flow of Scripture using seven well-known Biblical characters!
Read the Bible in one year - Easy to follow plan to enable the reading of the Scriptures in just one year!
Biblical Weights and Measures - How much was a widow's mite worth? How heavy was a talent of gold? How long was the span used by Noah to build the ark? Learn about the common measurements used in the word of God.
We also highly suggest visiting the site's section dedicated to Beginners.
In closing, we leave you with a motto used by this site near its inception. The principle it supports is something to keep in mind as your travel down the road to discovering the mind of God as revealed in his word.
The Bible is the written authority of truth given by God directly to man. Do not believe us (or anyone else for that matter) just because we (or they) say so. Believe your Bible!

Updated with the HQ version!
Watch the New Scene of Katniss & The Pig from The Hunger Games
Here's a brand new clip from The Hunger Games of Katniss getting the attention of the Capitol in a big way.
The scene is awesome! "Who ordered this pig?"
Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don't even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I'm being upstaged by a dead pig. My heart starts to pound, I can feel my face burning. Without thinking, I pull an arrow from my quiver and send it straight at the Gamemakers' table. I hear shouts of alarm as people stumble back. The arrow skewers the apple in the pig's mouth and pins it to the wall behind it. Everyone stares at me in disbelief.
What do you think?

John Maeda: Exhibition at Fondation Cartier (stills from Nature series)
A show of new work by John Maeda opened at Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain last Friday. The Nature series consists of 7 "motion paintings", inspired by natural phenomena. Eye'm Hungry is a collection of 6 reactive works intended specifically for children, exploring themes connected to food.
Unfortunately, the works are only documented as stills on the Cartier web site, so it is difficult to appreciate the works as time-based compositions. Maeda has published a shaky handheld walkthrough video on his site, but it confuses rather than illuminates. The impression one gets from the stills is one of works that prioritize motion and surface texture over graphic form. Many of the stills have a blurred, out-of-focus feeling, giving them the texture of video or closeups of low-res images. There is a 18 sec trailer of ine of the Nature pieces on the Maedastudio web site, called Linear Way. If this is anything to go by, it seems obvious that the works must be seen in motion to work as intended.
It seems like Maeda has slowly been moving away from his bold graphic forms and colorful compositions shown in Maeda @ Media, a book he describes as "a farewell to digital design". Interestingly, he says in an interview for the Cartier show that he wanted "to create work with a lively and joyful spirit close to Pop Art". This connection is not so easy to perceive in his recent work, including this exhibition. Still, it's hard to judge from the online documentation, so if you're near Paris then go see the show for yourself .
I've been reading Maeda's blog recently:
[...] Generator.x » John Maeda at Fondation Cartier [...]
Spot on with this write-up, I absolutely believe
this website needs far more attention. I'll probably be returning to see more, thanks for the information!
Really, this is a helpful web site.

Dontrelle Willis finally regaining his form with the Reds
Willis has a 2.63 ERA, 8.0 K/9, 2.4 BB/9, and 0.6 HR/9 in 13 starts for the Reds' Triple-A affiliate this year, and was a scratch yesterday with speculation that he's moving somewhere. This is exactly the reason why I advocate signing Scott Kazmir. There is absolutely no excuse for the Cubs to not sign him.

Cravings: Cherry Pie
58 comments :
- Ron and Connie said...
Your pie is absolutely GORGEOUS! I've never had one turn out that pretty. Glad you are feeling better too.
- July 6, 2010 at 1:12 AM
- 24 Corners said...
That pie looks and sounds delicious and it screams summer! Martha's pie crusts are the best, I've used one of her recipes for years and it always comes out perfect...and I've *never* seen a four cherry pitter...what a great invention, I always wondered if something like that existed.
So glad you're feeling well enough to be able to enjoy such a treat...I'm sure the babes are soooo happy! Here's to many more luscious, summery fruit delights! :d

Today I have some pictures from my small, Norwegian garden. Take a look, if you have time. You will love my sparrows!
Have a nice day!

Hello my dear
In silence I am a follower of your blog. I like your work and congratulations on a nice house. We are happy every day I'll look around.
Very tasteful, this was a cherry pie! Almost smell is felt.
friendly greetings from Hungary

Good morning Trina, that pie looks scrumptious! I only had sweet cravings during one pregnancy and it was for those Cadbury easter creme eggs. Now I can't stand the sight of them. The other two I craved broccoli...strange stuff pregnancy huh? My mother in law just took down her cherry tree last year. Between the lack of space in her yard, the birds and the mold it just wasn't working for her. So I've got cherry envy. Have a great day. ~Stacey

What a beautiful pie! The lattice pastry is perfect! Glad to hear you're feeling better. Give in to your cravings and enjoy your pregnancy. Any thoughts on how you'll do the nursery?
- July 6, 2010 at 9:49 AM
- Simply LKJ said...
Ooooh...Yummy! The pie looks delicicious. Glad you are past the feeling yucky stage. It's funny, about the only time I had an aversion to sugar/sweets was when I was pregnant too...one bite of chocolate cake was all I could take. Oh, and the smell of fish!
- July 6, 2010 at 9:51 AM
- Maura @ Lilac Lane Cottage said...
Good Morning! Mmmm your pie looks wonderful and I think I will try your recipe for pie and crust once my cherries are ripe. I moved to Kansas from near the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and I REALLY miss the fresh fruits that were available up there. Fruit is so expensive here in the middle of the country! I'm glad you're starting to feel a bit better and you're able to eat a few things you haven't been able to lately. I've gone through this 5 times...so I sympathize with you! Take good care of yourself..thanks too for the inspiration (for the pie that is!)...Maura :)

Sounds and looks like a tasty way to spend a trimester. Lovely, lovely post. A friend brought a cherry/blueberry pie for our celebration this week and I gobbled it up, not having had one in a few years. Yum.

That pie is so gorgeous I can almost taste it. You are brave to make your pie-crust from scratch. I just might have to try it.
- July 6, 2010 at 1:25 PM
- Blooming Rose Musings said...
Your pie looks delicious. When I was a child my aunt and I made a cherry pie. She asked me to prepare the cherries so I took the stem off and washed them. I had no idea there were pits inside. You can imagine the surprise when everyone had cherry pie after dinner!
So glad you mentioned about problems with comments. Yesterday, comments kept disappearing on my blog.
- July 6, 2010 at 1:29 PM
- for the love of a house said...
It's a beautiful pie, and looks yummy! How cool is that multi-pitter?! Mine is a single version, and comes complete with splatters!:)
- July 6, 2010 at 1:43 PM

Cheers to getting past the wooziness of the first trimester:). Your pie looks fabulous. Those are two lucky babies to have a mama who makes pies that look like that:).

- Simone said...
I have recently started following your blog and I love it. I think it's the simplicity of it I love the most. I love making pies too and I am now dying to know where your husband got that cherry pitter from, please, please, please let me know if you can. I have never thought to look for one, just always end up with pink fingers too :-)

Thanks for posting a lovely recipe for Cherry Pie.
I've just come across your blog and love everything country and everything farmhouse, though I live in an old converted mill in England!
I'll visit again soon.

So weird. Sometimes I feel like your blog parallels my life but just on a different coast. Lilacs, Peonies, Cherry Pies! But I guess the seasons are not that different and make everyone want to enjoy to the fullest. I just made my first cherry pie for my dad. I've been experimenting with pie crusts and things to do with them...try the Chard Tart from the Joy of Cooking. Delicious. And the best cook book ever. If you don't have it, I will send you the recipe.

Gorgeous pie! My husband's favorite. I've never made a lattice crust but would love to try sometime. You really do have the perfect country life.
- July 6, 2010 at 6:31 PM

Oh I love that woven crust -- I admit to cheating and just laying the strips on top of one another; yours is picture-perfect!
I hope you enjoyed it!
Congratulations BIG TIME on your "delicate condition." Having been thru infertility issues, 25 years ago, I understand how very special this time is for you.
My daughters are now 24 and 23. And it's all worth it.
Blessings to your old house, from OUR old house!

There is NOTHING like lovely cherries from the PAC NW! I'm so bummed because I'm not going to be out there until the beginning of August and I think that will be too late. I especially love the Royal Annes.....Glad to hear that you survived the first trimester; hopefully from here out you will THRIVE! Enjoy those cherries for me {sigh}!

Hi There! What a beautiful pie! Just the thing for summer and I know when I was pregnant, what was good tasted REALLY good, nothing like the intensity that pregnancy brings: both the cravings and the tastes!
Stop on over to my blog for some newborn baby photos I'm sharing of my grandson...he's a sweetie!

Beautiful Trina. I shall copy down your recipe also! I am planning to make your asparagus pizza on the weekend. I pulled out my old Moosewood and found that dough recipe and realized I had once made the calzones on that same page!!
Anyway, I love a tried and true recipe. I bet it was AMAZING. I did not grow up around cherry pies (rather blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, etc.) but think they are in my Top 2 now.

Hi Simone,
Hubby picked up this cherry pitter on one of his business trips to California. A couple of years ago I decided to make my first cherry pie and was shocked that our entire county had sold out of them!! People love their cherry pitters around here! So I'm sorry I can't tell you where he got it. All he remembers, and I'm quoting him here, "either in Sonoma, Oakland, or Fieldsburg..." I'm laughing as I write because I know that a list of towns doesn't narrow it down much, but think it's adorable that he does. Cutie pie husband.

Greetings! Such a gorgeous pie for a gorgeous Mommy-to-be! Thanks for the recipes, pie and crust. I've been in a blueberry pie mood lately and have made two. But now am craving a cherry pie. Will use your recipe and hope it turns out as lovely as yours. Tried to post congratulations on your post announcing your brilliant good news, for some reason couldn't get post to "do". So I'm sending you best wishes and blessings for a healthy pregnancy

Do you think that pie would make me look fat?

Hi Trina,
Thanks for getting back to me. As I am in San Diego and my in-laws near Oakland I figured with a big part of the state covered I should be able to find one with that list of towns :-)However I opted for just trying Google and voila, found one on Amazon. Ordering now.......
- July 7, 2010 at 12:31 PM

I found a name on the pitter - it reads 'Progressive.' Sorry I didn't mention that earlier!

I must admit, being 5 months pregnant, I was a little reluctant to read this post...it seems like anything delicious-looking makes me have an immediate craving for it! Someone can just say something....and my mind starts thinking...."when can I get a hold of some of that?" Haha....oh well though. It's all apart of pregnancy.
Okay, I said "a little reluctant" because I obviously read it...and your pie looks SOOO good! I'm such a pie person, too. Before I make this into a novel, I just wanted to say from one preggy to another---eat hearty, healthy, and stay happy!
Now if you'll excuse me while I write down this recipe....

Perfect - it must be the exact one I ordered on Amazon today.
Thanks again.

Trina, our local store here in the Adelaide Hills had Californian cherries for $30.00/kg. (2.2lb to 1kg.) yesterday - I think that works out to be approx. 60c per cherry!! Yes, it's Winter here & for some reason we are flying in your Summer produce, go figure. Martha would be proud of you girl & that beautiful pie. Glad the 24hr. nausea (stupidly named Morning Sickness by some equally stupid male Dr.) has passed, I still recall it's crippling effect.

Flacco, who is guaranteed $52 million over the next 6 years, went through the drive-thru of a Mickey D's in Aberdeen, MD. From ESPN:
Flacco rolled down his window at the McDonald's drive-thru in Aberdeen, Md., after ordering a 10-piece McNugget meal, with fries and an unsweetened iced tea for $6.99.
Flacco's celebration was pretty boring, but his father did call him a dull guy before the Super Bowl.

After reeling off seven straight victories in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight division, Jim Miller was knocking on the door of a title shot. That was before he ran into one Ben Henderson at UFC on Versus 5: "Hardy vs. Lytle" on Aug. 14, 2011.
For three rounds, "Smooth" man-handled Miller all over the Octagon en route to a unanimous decision victory.
In the process, Henderson earned himself a title shot against division kingpin Frankie Edgar next month as the UFC makes its way over to "The Land of the Rising Sun" on Feb. 26, 2012, for its UFC 144 event at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
If Miller's performance didn't seem on par with what you were accustomed to seeing, there was good reasoning behind it.
As Miller revealed to MMAFighting.com, while he doesn't want to take anything away from a great performance from Henderson, he discovered after the fight that he was suffering from a kidney infection and mononucleosis.
"It really hit me a couple hours after the fight. I woke up in the middle of the night and had this weird pain my lower back. It just wouldn't go away. It was something I never felt before and really hope to never feel again, to be perfectly honest. I had a bad night. I knew something was wrong and I didn't adapt to the situation. He fought a great fight, and I just wasn't capable to keep up that night,I really didn't know that I was sick. I knew something was wrong. I was pretty tired in camp and stuff like that, but when I was warming up for the fight, I knew something was off. I was getting winded just doing my warm-up round, and then when we were starting to get ready to go out there, I just didn't feel like I had energy. And then stepping into the Octagon, I usually have tons of energy flowing around, bouncing around, and I just didn't feel it. I tried to fight like I normally fight, and I wasn't able to put him away with that style of fighting. I feel like I should have made the correction, fought a little more conservatively, worked for dominant position and then go for the attack and stuff like that instead of throwing everything I had at him."
After ingesting several antibiotics and fluids, Miller was able to rid himself of the infections and resume training.
He will now look to start his long road back to the top of the lightweight rankings as he takes on the always dangerous Melvin Guillard in the headlining bout in the promotion's debut on FX, as the UFC storms Nashville, Tennessee, tomorrow night (Jan. 20. 2012) for UFC on FX 1.
Guillard, on the other hand, is looking to avoid back-to back-losses, having coming up short against Joe Lauzon in his last outing at UFC 136.
Can Miller return to his old dominating form in Nashville? And would you be interested in seeing a rematch between Miller and Henderson after hearing the health issues he suffered during their first bout?
Opinions, please.

Deputies in Polk County say a 68-year-old woman was robbed while on her way to church on two separate occasions.
Both times, investigators say she was attacked after leaving her home in the area of Longfellow Blvd. and Colonial Avenue
The first robbery was on June 10. Investigators report an unknown male pointed a gun at the victim and demanded money. According to a police report, the man hit the lady in the face and robbed her.
The victim described the suspect only as an average height male, white or Hispanic, wearing dark clothes carrying a black semi-automatic handgun.
Records later show someone attempted to use the victim's stolen credit card at a nearby Target, but the card was denied.
Detectives say that the second robbery happened on Sunday, July 1. The woman was leaving her house to go to church when the suspect confronted her and demanded money. He then pushed her into her house and stole cash from her night stand.
The suspect fled the scene on foot.
Deputies say he was armed and wearing a black long- sleeved shirt, black mask, and was carrying a black book bag.
The victim suffered minor injuries from being hit. Detectives believe there is more than one suspect although the robberies have the same characteristics.
They are interested in talking to the man seen in the Target surveillance video. If anyone has any information about these incidents or recognizes the man seen in the video, please contact Detective Kenjamin Libby at 863.298.6200 ext.1237.

Tessa Bonhomme, a 2010 Olympic Winter Games gold medallist and member of Canada's National Women's Team for the 2010 4 Nations Cup, gives HockeyCanada.ca her point-of-view from St. John's and Clarenville, N.L.
Tuesday, November 2, 2010
The tournament is coming up quickly and I still have lots to do! Packing and double checking my gear are
No. 1 priorities today!
Since the time I started with Team Canada, there hasn't been a Canadian city to let us down yet! Kitchener packed the house with some wild fans at the 2006 4 Nations Cup, Winnipeg had unbelievable turnouts at every single 2007 IIHF World Women's Championship game and last season Ottawa broke the attendance record for a women's hockey game on January 1, 2010 when we played the United States before the Olympics! And of course, who could forget every single die-hard fan that followed us every step of the way in Vancouver!
We are truly appreciative of all your support, Canada, and hope we can put on a great show for the East Coast from November 9 to 13! All the players and staff are excited to be reunited and are more than anxious to take the ice for a great start to another four-year Olympic cycle.
Four great female hockey players (Becky Kellar, Gina Kingsbury, Carla MacLeod and Colleen Sostorics), who have all done a lot for our national program and the female game, decided to retire this year. They will most definitely be missed on and off the ice, as we face off in our first international games without them. We all hope things are going well and wish them all nothing but the best. But with retirement, comes new blood and fresh faces! It will be very interesting to see the new team dynamic that forms and how everything will fall into place.
Be careful not to mistake 19-year-old Marie-Philip Poulin for a rookie, as she enters this season as a seasoned vet, having scored Canada's only two goals in the gold medal game in Vancouver! I can honestly say I have never played hockey with anyone as talented and skilled as she is – and she isn't even 20 yet! Well done Beauceville, Que., well done!
Well, I'm off to pack a parka and winter boots for Newfoundland! Just checked the weather and it's supposed to snow there tomorrow!
Chat soon everyone!

The second that Sunday Night Football began, it was clear that the home crowd at CenturyLink Field was loud as heck. But apparently just the standard "hearing how loud the crowd is" wasn't good enough for the producers of SNF. They felt they needed a visual depiction of "it's really loud!" Visuals make for good television! It's right in the name!
So they had their sideline reporter, Michele Tafoya, do this:
Tafoya is demonstrating that, the farther away she gets from the microphone, the less you can hear her! Wow! The only thing that makes that less impressive is the fact that that is literally how microphones work.

I'm not necessarily a Jayhawks FAN per se, but I have really enjoyed watching Jayhawks basketball in recent years; I've seen the Morris Bros, T-Rob, Tyshawn Taylor, and this past year, Ben Mclemore. That guy is special. Anyway, my friend OkanIAmTheMan (you may or may not have heard of him before on Youtube) made this highlight reel for McLemore. I thought it was pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

Staff writer Brian Rokos contributed this item about his effort to preserve camera access to a courtroom:
Almost all criminal or civil hearings are open to the public, but in practice, few spectators actually step inside a courtroom. Often it's because they can't take time off from work or there isn't enough space.
That's one reason why The Press-Enterprise seeks to photograph high-profile cases. And that's one reason why the P-E steadfastly challenges any opposition.
Judge Edward O. Webster originally had given the P-E the OK to photograph the kidnap-assault preliminary hearing of Corona pastor Lonny Remmers and two congregants. But when the hearing on Friday, Sept. 14, was suddenly moved to a different courtroom — and more important, a new judge — the first ruling no longer stood.
So the reporter covering the case asked Judge H.A. "Skip" Staley to allow the public to witness the hearing through the P-E's lens. The outcome of the request wasn't certain — the defense attorneys asked Staley to deny the request, citing a "sensitive case."
But Staley ruled for the P-E — and the public — noting statutes that cite the importance of open hearings.
Brian said he didn't make a big speech. It's heartening to know the judge heard him anyway.

Seattle police: Man crashes kid's pizza party
SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle police say they arrested a man who crashed an 8-year-old child's party, ate several pieces of pizza and took two balloon animals.
Parents told police they asked the 28-year-old man to leave after he joined the children's party at Green Lake on Wednesday evening. However, police say the shirtless, shoeless man refused and got into a "very heated" exchange with the families at the party. The families called police.
In a release on their website, police say the man appeared to be under the influence of a "potent relaxant of some kind."
Officers first checked to see if the man needed medical attention, then arrested him for investigation of theft.

Deploy an exciting arsenal such as tanks, cavalry, biplanes, and flamethrowers in vintage WWI toy dioramas. Developed by Signal Studios exclusively for Xbox 360, Toy Soldiers allows you to take control of individual units or control the entire battlefield from a strategic view.

I always appreciate it when a game that touches on some cultural commentary, whether it's obvious or not. And given how entertaining it is to "play war" in the setting provided here (and believe me, it is) is proof that sometimes violence isn't as much about what is shown-in a game as much as anything else-but what isn't.
This XBLA game signals a shift into something more hardcore video gamers could get behind: an action game that requires an itchy trigger finger to complement an itchy brain. With some exciting shooter action, solid strategy gameplay and a uniquely satisfying art style for the overall presentation, Toy Soldiers is proof of what XBLA was meant to do: bring us casual games in a hardcore games package.
The breadth and depth of this title is outstanding. To have it offered as a 1200 point Xbox Live Arcade title is stellar.
After Plants Vs Zombie, Toy Soldier is one of the most intriguing Tower Defence of this generation.
Overall, Toy Soldiers is a fantastic effort at making war games more appealing to the masses.
A wonderful Tower Defense concept in a disappointing package. There's a lot of strategic potential here, but the levels often end when you are getting the grip on things.

Sep 19, 2011who could actually say no to this game because they are literally like your own toys :) but I wished they made it some of it a tiny bit easier. why not have a game of it, it will make you happy… Expand
Nov 17, 2010Perfection in a Tower Defense game, absolutely blows every other game in the genre I've ever played out of the water. Toy Soldiers puts you in a beautiful and realistic fully 3D battlefield, with excellent camera controls. But what really sets this game apart is the interactivity in the battlefield. Like every other TD game, you place upgradeable towers to defend your base. But in Toy Soldiers, you can actually get in the towers and shoot control them yourself! For towers like the cannons, you can even hold the firing button to enter a "shell cam", and steer or slow down the shell as it flies through the air for precision lobs! In many levels, you can send out your own tanks into the fray, and even fighter and bomber planes which can fly over the battle and rain down death below! Really a mind-blowingly fun game, well-worth the $15. Sets the bar for console Tower Defense games.… Expand
Apr 14, 2011i can't stop playing it! it's so awesome and i have to get the add-ons. everyone with an xbox has to at least get the trial.
May 13, 2012Now it's only 800 msp. Easily worth it if you're looking for a different experience set in a different era. Game captures the feel of the era with it's unique art style and music. That coupled with this not being a generic experience which you find with most games makes it a no brainer. If you're tired of the same here you go....going to be checking out Cold war later.… Expand
Jul 25, 2011Intuitive , a different strategy game based on placing the artillery, soldiers etc . For instance it may sound hard, when I say that hordes of Nazis or whatever aren't stopping in an specific place, they don't do that, they come directly to you , so you need to stop them before they sabotage or enter your Toy Box. Heck, there's a Cold War game right now.… Expand
Jun 30, 2013Entertaining game, albeit somewhat short. A mixture of tower defense, strategy and vehicle action (you can't control any troops). I love the World War 1 theme as it's hardly ever done in games. Fun game on easier difficulty, it gets very difficult as you ratchet up the degree of difficulty. Right now it is 400 points on XBOX live, great value.… Expand

Best Types of Handbags for Your Style
Every woman needs a good handbag, and there are endless options out there to choose from. So how do you decide which bag to wear for which occasion? Here are some tips to help you choose the best bag for each outfit.
Tote Bags
Tote bags are a great new trend that give off a democratic, independent vibe. Instead of striving to show off your money, tote bags instead communicate culture and ideas, emphasizing the importance of experience over purchases. Some totes can be rough and unpolished, giving you a bohemian or hippie look. Tote bags are very utilitarian and roomy, meaning that they work well when you have a lot to carry. They also look really good with more casual outfits, such as t-shirts, jeans, or an everyday dress.
Shoulder Bags
Shoulder bags are one of the most common handbags out there, but they can still stand out as a unique accessory. If you're wearing a mostly neutral outfit, then a bright orange or yellow handbag can really stand out as a statement. Bold floral prints also make an impression. Shoulder bags come with many different lengths of straps, but to look best they shouldn't hang any lower than your hips. One of the nice things about shoulder bags is that they are a little more upscale than totes, so you can wear a nice one both to the office and around town.
Cross Body Bags
Cross body bags have straps that are long enough to sling across your body. This makes them great for keeping your hands free. These bags look better on small-chested women and really draw attention to the hips—so if your hips look great, flaunt them. Cross bodies are a great everyday option that are both convenient and cute.
Totes, shoulder bags, and cross body bags are all great options, but they each have their own vibe. With these tips, you can pick the perfect handbag for your own personal style.
Jewelry as a Gift
Ann Marie has a wonderful selection of rings and beads to celebrate the special woman in your life. Since 2009, Ann Marie has offered Trollbead bracelets and necklaces from Denmark. Jewelry is a very personal and lasting gift that will be forever cherished by the recipient.
Is there an exceptional woman in your life that personifies the true meaning of what it means to have strength, courage and wisdom?
Strength – the quality that allows someone to deal with problems in a determined and effective way
Courage – mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty
Wisdom – the natural ability to understand things that most other people cannot understand
Life comes with many trials and tribulations, some of which are easier than others to get through. There are some women that have an inner strength and beauty that not only gets them through the tough times, but also allows them to be emotionally and physically there for others. Having these three qualities is a true gift that not everyone has or is able to share with the rest of the world.
Honoring that incredible woman in your life – whether she is your mother, grandmother, aunt, sister or friend – can be much easier than you may have thought. A bouquet of flowers or a box of fine chocolates can be a nice token of appreciation, but neither last. Consider a piece of jewelry to express the depth of your gratitude.
The beautiful Strength, Courage and Wisdom ring, available in pink prism or rose ribbon, will tell her what it is she embodies to you. This gift will show the depths of your appreciation and make your loved one feel incredibly special.
Whether it's jewelry you're looking for or something altogether different, Ann Marie offers a quality selection of unique gifts from all over the world.
A Guide to Successfully Selling Jewelry Online
Selling jewelry online can be quite a tricky business because consumers tend to want a more intensive and thorough chance to study their jewelry before proceeding to make the purchase. But it doesn't mean that just because it's harder to do, means it can't be done at all—because it can. You, as a retailer, just have to know certain guidelines in making your online jewelry business a success.
The first approach to be taken is to give the consumers a selling experience that closely resembles an actual in-store encounter. This can be done by building on your website's appearance and presenting each product in a way that will entice their interest. Provide them with as much information as possible on each piece of jewelry, and showcase high-quality photos that present all the angles as well as closeups so they can further study them to their heart's content.
Another important aspect to consider is to have an approachable and reliable customer service. You can have an interactive chat feature available, wherein customers can relay all their questions and concerns as they browse through your site. If you're just providing a hotline number or e-mail address, make sure to be prompt at providing a response.
It would also be helpful for any shopper if you could provide your top recommendations—whether it features current trends, pieces that go with special occasions, and other special collections you want to push and promote. Maintaining a regular blog can also be a great way to convey more information as well as serve as a marketing tool in highlighting some of your jewelry pieces. Through these blogs, you can create some buzz surrounding certain items that will get your target market all curious and interested.
Do remember that when a consumer visits your site, you only have one shot at getting them to stay, browse through your products, and eventually proceed to make a purchase. So invest in making a very interactive and engaging site, which will catch the attention of shoppers and provide them with all of their jewelry needs and wants.
