2007 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon - Features You'd Like
Posts: 82
When it came time for me to think about replacing my '95 GMC Sonoma KC 4x4 5speed with a Canyon/Colorado I quickly changed my mind when I heard they were going to use an I5. Now I see for '07 you can't even get a manual with the I5. What is GM thinking about?
I don't understand why they just didn't stick with the tried and true 4.3. They obviously still like the 4.3 because it is being offered in the '07 Silverado.

dmathews3 Posts: 1,739There is nothing wrong with the I5 as I've had mine for over 2 years now without a problem. Runs great. As far as a manual with the I5, my guess is if they had it before than the reason they don't have it now is either the increase in displacement and power is to much for it or most likely not enough interest in it to go to the hassle of messing with it. I can remember when I worked at GM one the N cars (Grand Am type) air conditioning was an option. We ran 60 cars an hour off 2 lines on 2 shifts. Thats close to 2000 cars a day and if 10 of them came without air it was luck. After 2 years air was standard and you couldn't buy one without it. I'm thinking the same here.
rocketman67 Posts: 82All I can say was I hope they never get rid of the stick because when I bought my new truck that was the first thing I looked for was a standard transmission with a good ole V6.
I don't think there is anthing wrong with an I5 either providing it is a diesel.
I see even Volvo dropped their I5 in favor of 4 or 6.
There is no mpg advantages in the I5(gas) if you compare it to a v6. -
th3_d3v1l Posts: 4Why would they drop it? They have made no improvements on the 4.3, I just got rid of my 05 Silverado in favor of an 06 Colorado with the I5, the I5 has noticable increases in horsepower. they could give that 4.3 more power than Toyotas 4.0, which boasts 260, and nissan which I believe is 275. If they really got to the nitty gritty with that 4.3, it could be the most powerful 6 on the road. But in all reality, I like my colorado more than my old silverado.
rocketman67 Posts: 82
rocketman67 Posts: 82If ya look at the torque and hp specs comparing the I5 and the 4.3 you will see that the 4.3 is a better truck engine because of more torque at a lower rpm.
The 4.3 is in need of some serious make over but I don't think GM has the bucks to spend of updating the engine. Either that or they just too pig headed .......the later I'm more apt to believe. -
jpf Posts: 496The 4.3 is a proven design. I know of many contractors that really worked their 4.3's to the tune of 250,000 to 300,000 miles without major problems. The I5, with its valve and head problems is breaking down in less than 100,00 miles. At this point, the 4.3 is a more reliable engine. Until GM fixes the problems with the I5, I would stay clear away from this engine. Just my 2 cents.
rocketman67 Posts: 82
jtenpas Posts: 7My 04 colorado made it 45,000 mi and now i need the head and valves replaced at a tune of $4000. Luckly GM is covering the costs even though my warranty expired. This problem is documented by GM. My 1995 sonoma made it 175K and all i did was change the oil every 3K and spark plugs at 90K.
Case closed. -
1lap2go Posts: 2I am looking at replacing my '91 GMC xcab SLE. It has 109K for miles and a bit of rust that I stay on top of keeping it looking ok. Truely been a great truck with normal stuff happening over the last 16 yrs (Starter, waterpump, radiator,mufflers)I have started looking at the new Colorado 4wd xcab but I am seeing a bunch of complaints about the I5 engine and power door locks. I am also considering the Toy Tacoma. All neighbors(5)that have them have nothing but great things to say about them. One has 160+K on it and it looks like new. My problem is the Tacoma is a fast seller and the dealer in DM is selling them as fast as they come off the transporter. I asked about lease returns and he said, he's never had one stay longer then 2 days. Do you wish you had bought the Tacoma ????? I am looking at COSTCO as where I buy it as they can bring it in from anywhere that has what I want.
sullylang Posts: 2A double overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder engine, or an old V-6 push rod 2 valve per cylinder engine. Sounds like GM is pushing in the same direction as all other car makers. Higher performance with less displacement. I've had my 05 Canyon crew with I5 for 2.5 years (45k). Zero problems. Smooth and strong. I traded 2002 F-150 with 5.4 to get it. It rides better, gets almost double the gas milage, and has plenty of power. The brakes lasted better too. The silverado outweighs the Canyon by 1000lbs(25%). It needs more low end torque to pull itself around. But only has a 3500lb tow rating (less then I-5 Canyon). I was recently test driving vehicles due to my inability to keep a car more then 3 years. I passed on an F-150 because it felt like a pig compared to my Canyon. This is a good truck that had an unfortunate run on some cylinder heads. Sounds like GM is acting honorably. I love my truck.
dispencer2 Posts: 299I'm in the market for a used small truck preferably a Chevy or GMC. I had a S-10 back in the '80's and there was nothing wrong with it. I would look for an extended cab 4 Cyl if possible and automatic, cruise, air etc. I would get the upscale model. Can those of you who have owned 1994 and up S-10's/Sonomas or early Colorados tell me which is actually more pleasant to drive? My priority is ride rather than power. I would only consider a 2 wheel drive truck. Should I get an S-10 or Colorado? Thanks for any advice..
dispencer2 Posts: 299OK - I am looking for a midsize truck to replace a 1986 4wd shortbed Silverado in showroom condition that I'm giving my grandson. I was figuring on a 2000-2004 S-10 Extended Cab LS but the S-10 Edmunds chat group has no end of complaints. Should I look for an early Colorado? I will probably only put a couple of thousand miles a year on the truck. I have two cars -a Cadillac DeVille and a Cobalt . The truck would sit in the garage and be used when I need to haul mulch bags or something like that. Is the Colorado that much better than an S-10? The Air Force base near me has dozens of S-10's used daily and they don't seem to have any complaints but the Edmunds owners all seem to have lemons.
dmathews3 Posts: 1,739You will find that 99% of the people here and on ANY forum for ANY vehicle whether foreign or Domestic are here because they have or have had a problem. There are many hundred of thousands of Colorado's on the road but only about 100 owners here if that many. If you were to take the time to read all the messages on the Colorado I bet you won't find 50 different people posting as it is the same ones most of the time. I had a 4X4 Crewcab for over 4 years and a recall or two but the only thing I ever warranted as far as I can remember is the rear view mirror would drop in the high heat of summer. Not fall off the window but hit a bump and it would move out of focus. A pain but no big deal, a new one under warranty was all I needed.

The purpose of this book is a humble one. It is to remind readers its that in Christ, life – life in all its totality – was returned to man, given again as sacrament and communion, made Eucharist. And it is to show – be it only partially and superficially – the meaning of this for our mission in the world. The Western Christian is used to thinking of sacrament as opposed to the Word, and he links the mission with the Word and not the sacrament. He is, moreover, accustomed to consider the sacrament as perhaps an essential and clearly defined part or institution or act of the Church and within the church, but not of the church as being itself the sacrament of Christ's presence and action. And finally he is primarily interested in certain very "formal" questions concerning the sacraments: their number, their "validity," thier institution, etc. Our pourpose is to show that there exists and always existed a different perspective, a different approach to sacrament, and that this approach may be of crucial importance precisely for the whole burning issue of mission, of our witness to Christ in the world. For the basic question is: of what are we witnesses? What have we seen and touched with our hands? OF what have we partaken and been made communicants? Where do we call men? What can we offer them?
Alexander Schmemann, For the Life of the World: Sacraments and Orthodoxy (Crestwood, NY: St. Vladamir's Seminary Press, 1973), 20-21.

Baseball seasons are long. Really long. By this point, nearly five full months in, every team has had its share of highs and lows (the difference between the teams is just the relative frequency of one or t'other, really), and enough of them that even if you've been hanging on your team's every movement all season, you've already forgotten several of the highlights and lowlights by now.
It's a little bit like sitting in a movie theater for three or four hours, trying to follow a film convinced that the message it has to convey to you is so important that it's worth taking up most of your day and all of your concentration. You'll forget parts, you'll love some parts and hate others. At the end of the day, you just try to hold onto the basic point, and even if it's fantastic, you're ultimately at least a little proud of simply being able to say you've sat through the whole thing.
More specifically, here are some epic films (not all of which I've actually seen — I'll let you figure out which ones) that have a lot in common with a particular 2011 ballclub:
The Red Sox are like The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
The Red Sox opened in an atmosphere of impending doom, starting 0-6 and then 2-10, but quickly learned that greatness comes in all sizes, as a brave, gritty, gutty little Hobbit (Dustin Pedroia) persevered in the face of mounting odds, unspeakable evil, and a whole lot of professional athletes who are just much, much taller and more athletic than he is, and did what he had to do.
Helping him out are the lithe, speedy little elf (Jacoby Ellsbury), the slow-starting king of men who reluctantly steps into greatness (Adrian Gonzalez, who hit just one HR in April), and the plodding dwarf who swings a devastating axe (David Ortiz). I'm sure there's a Gandalf in there somewhere, too, but I can't quite make one fit.
Have you ever noticed how front-heavy the problems in LOTR are? I love the series, but it's a bit silly. The first film ends on probably the darkest note in the entire series; and there's a lot of foreboding and gloomy talk after that, and a few real down moments, but the gang keeps getting deus ex machina'd out of jams, with things like ancient armies of sentient trees, or invincible ghosts. That's pretty much what the Sox' season has been like; things looked bad at first, but it's pretty much been a cake walk after that, really. Of course, they haven't defeated the unblinking fiery eye of the Yankees yet, either.
The Twins are like Titanic.
The ship sinks. Everybody already knows the damn ship sinks.
The ship's leaders were too bold, were foolhardy, made ill-considered and ultimately disastrous mistakes, leaving hundreds or thousands of victims strewn across their bumbling path. Meanwhile, her captain (and you can use either Bill Smith or Ron Gardenhire here) somehow sloughs off safely to a lifeboat, leaving his underlings behind to suffer the consequences of his grave mistakes. Poor little Jack Dawson, the scamp with the heart of gold and easily the best person and most complete character we meet (Joe Mauer, who has been hurt and probably unprepared to play all year, apparently thanks to the team's appalling failure of a medical staff, and who now is being blamed by fans and media for being hurt and not playing), gets just about the rawest deal imaginable.
And, by about two-thirds of the way through either Titanic or this Twins season, you're ready to say "hey, can you just hurry up and drown already? I've got all this laundry and stuff."
The Marlins are like Lawrence of Arabia.
T.E. Lawrence (Logan Morrison) is a British army lieutenant who doesn't stand out much, except that he has a bit of a problem with authority. He embarks on a series of adventures, rising to prominence within the army, and then fame throughout the world, largely through his propensity to disregard orders and do things his own way.
Then comes his fall from grace — Lawrence is captured on a mission (which isn't quite the same as a player being demoted by his own team, but pretend) and is badly beaten and otherwise humiliated. He returns to duty changed and invigorated, raising an army to fight off the Turks.
Morrison's mouth and attitude have made him famous. His (perceived) performance got him (undeservedly) demoted, and he came back strong, going 2-for-4 with a homer in his first game back from that harrowing ordeal.
The Cubs are like The Bridge on the River Kwai.
The main characters for most of The Bridge on the River Kwai are American British soldiers being held as Japanese prisoners of war, forced to spend their days building a bridge that will benefit the enemy. The work is pointless at best, and at worst a danger to the allies' cause, which creates all sorts of tension and problems among the ranks, especially when the colonel starts demanding that they build it properly.
The project (like the Cubs) is largely a failure, but they're continually prodded along toward the finish anyway. Some soldiers/players attempt to escape from their captivity; one is successful (Kosuke Fukudome) while the others (Carlos Zambrano, Carlos Pena) are shot down. Meanwhile, chaos reigns — the soldiers continue to build the bridge, alongside their Japanese captors, despite knowing that no good (and lots of bad) can come to them or their country from the task…in much the same way that the Cubs keep playing baseball games to no end at all.
Then toward the end, a newish cast of characters, the commandos, swoop in to try to just blow the whole thing up, which is exactlywhat Jim Hendry's successor will have to do. Too little, too late, though: it's all just a big mess. American soldiers are trying to save the bridge, American soldiers are trying to destroy the bridge. Just about everybody dies. It ends with one of the few survivors simply saying: "Madness! Madness!"
…Which should probably be adopted as the official slogan of the Cubs, 2009-2013 or so.

First Reconciliation Activities
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit while teaching my son, Stanley, and his class all about Reconciliation I have come up with some ideas to share!
Reconciliation Lapbook
Click to Print your lapbook pieces.
It includes name label (for meaning of name, bible verse), important prayers, Ten Commandments, and A Taste of Confession label.
A Taste of Confession
1. Examination of Conscience: Hot Seat Cinnamon
2. Reconciliation: A Sour Patch Sorry
3. Contrition: Prayer Pretzels
4. Penance: Refreshing Acts Mints
5. Forgiveness: Melt Away Our Sins Chocolates
Another food idea is to serve ALL WHITE FOOD or treats, as a symbol of purity. You can see my Sacramental Cakes at our Michalek Kitchen blog.
Carve a Cross
Need: Soap bar, plastic knife and toothpick
Make a Spiritual First-Aid Kit
(as seen on More Than Enough blog)
The Bandage reminds us that Jesus heals the wounds of the heart.
The Cotton Balls remind us that Jesus blots away our sins.
The Tissue reminds us that Jesus wipes away our tears.
The Antiseptic Wipes remind us that Jesus cleanses our hearts.
The Lip Balm reminds us that Jesus softens our hard, dry hearts.
The Holy Water reminds us that Jesus blesses us.
Ten Commandments Match-up
Ten Commandment Tablets
Directions on Crayola.com
First Reconciliation Gift Ideas
*Rosary or Rosary Bracelet
*Crucifix for Room (or kit to make a cross rosary hanger)
*Craft Kit: above activities or First Communion Banner kit
*Quiet in the Pew: Catholic Mass Seek and Find Cards
Arma Dei - Equipping Catholic Families has wonderful faith-learning products and freebies. My favorite is converting ordinary games to Catholic learning tools!

what was your dream about..
Islamic dreams about Refusing Gold find dream interpretations. Meanings & explanations for Refusing Gold dictionary!
Refusing Gold dream interpretations
Gold Dream Explanation
— In a dream,
is a disliked element which cause damages, anxiety and losses. Wearing a golden bracelet in a dream means receiving an inheritance. Wearing a golden ornament in a dream means marriage to an incompatible person. Any wedding gift one receives from such a person means trouble. Receiving a golden bar in a dream means losing money or business. If one sees himself melting a bar of
in a dream, it means that he will be persecuted for committing a loathsome act and he will become the talk of the town. Seeing broken chips of
or a whole coin of
in a dream means meeting with the ruler of the country or with the governor of town. Minting
in a dream represents evil, death or destruction. Seeing one's house turning
in a dream means that a fire will consume his house. If one's hand turns
in a dream, it means that it may be paralyzed. Seeing one's eyes turning
in a dream means that he may become blind. Wearing a golden necklace, or a silver necklace, or a necklace studded with gems in a dream means that one will become a leader, or that he could receive something in trust.
in a dream also represents the elements of festivities, joy, profits, good deeds, dispelling stress, marriage, children, knowledge, spiritual guidance, or literally the business of goldsmith. If one sees
turning into silver in a dream, it means decrease in value, or changing conditions in relation to women, children or properties. The opposite is also true. If one sees silver turning into
in a dream, it means increase in value, the rising moon of one's wife, children, business or clan. Any
embroidered garment or fabric in a dream means religious offerings. Any
plated ornaments in a dream means emulating mundane people, or outwardly imitating spiritual people, or ostentatiously acting like them. Pure
or silver in a dream means purity and sincerity of one's intentions, making a true covenant or signing a peace treaty.
plated or silver plated ornaments or
leaf objects in a dream represent a short life, changing circumstances, spending long and sleepless nights, or it could mean forgetfulness. Wearing any manufactured or handmade piece of jewelry in a dream means perpetual earnings. The same interpretation is given to
foils. (Also see Goldsmith)
Gold Dream Explanation
— Contrary to what many people might think,
was not a good dream for the ancient Arabs. They resented the word itself, thahab, which in their language meant "gone," the same as they disliked the yellow color, which was associated in their mind with the yellow, untruthful, or rather poisonous smile and with the notion of pallor.
is a particularly bad omen for men but a good dream for women if they wear it. For men it is a harbinger of losses, fines, hatred, disease, and other calamities. Gold dinars (coins) are the least harmful, because Daniel the Wise was reported as saying that having more than four dinars in one's hand meant the dreamer would be hated and hear bad things commensurate with the number of coins. If the number of coins is known, worries will be minor. According to Ibn Siren, having one dinar of medium size is a reference to a nice and cozy house, five dinars means that the subject would do something acceptable, and an even number of dinars between one hundred and one thousand means that the dreamer will become a specialist in conducting tests. Giving a dinar to somebody means one will lose part of one's knowledge. Anyhow, contradictory views exist about the metal.
• Seeing gold: Sorrow and forced expenditure.
• Seeing
covered with mud or hidden somewhere or somehow, though you know where it is: Failure.
• Perceiving
as stored somewhere or placed in bags without seeing its color: Good dream; should expect gains, provided you are a pious person.
• Wearing
, in general: Will enter into a marital relationship with people of a lower standard.
• Wearing a
bracelet or bangle: Will inherit.
• Wearing two
bracelets or bangles: Troubles are ahead by your own making, as for men
, especially in the form of bracelets, is usually a bad omen or a reference to liars, as reportedly stated by the Holy Prophet.

A long and an ugly looking moustache in a dream means difficulties, sorrows, distress, becoming an alcoholic,

NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Off-Season Guide
The 2013-14 NFL season is officially in the books and man, was it a good one or what? We saw all sorts of unexpected things this year. We saw the lovely town of Seattle win their first professional football title. We saw the Kansas City Chiefs go from a two-win team to one of the best team's in the NFL. We saw the Carolina Panthers go from having a a joke of a head coach to turning that same guy into the NFL Coach of the Year. We also didn't see Tim Tebow start an NFL game this season, which is a good thing because finally the entire NFL world has come to the understanding that the guy just can't throw a football. If Bill Belichick can't find a way for you to contribute on the field, it might be time to embrace your inner acting and journalistic bone, which it appears as though Tebow is finally doing.
Anyway, with the 13-14 season behind us, it's time to look ahead. Before we get to next season's plate of games though, we have a wonderful thing called the NFL off-season and this little beauty is a guide that I wrote up to help NFL fans of all shapes and sizes see exactly what kind of shape their favorite NFL team is in headed into the off-season. In this guide, you will find all sorts of delicious information that I'm sure will overwhelm you, but that's what the NFL off-season does to people. It can be exhausting. If you don't believe me, just go interview your local favorite NFL general manager and ask him how much sleep he's been getting. Chances are he'll start repeating NFL combine 40 times and totally confuse the crap out of you.
So, without any further adieu. I present to you…..
Dustin James' 2014-15 NFL Off-Season Guide!

NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Season Predictions
Welcome, welcome, welcome! If you are a regular reader here at "THE MAN-CAVE" you are more than likely familiar with me. My name is Dustin James and I'm the resident "moronic football predictor" around these parts. Football is easily my favorite sport and I get so excited at the start of the season that I just can't resist predicting any and everything I possibly can. This year is no different. Since I spent a good two months on my college football preview here at "THE MAN-CAVE", I decided to whip up some quick NFL predictions as well. By no means am I an "NFL expert", I just happen to be a huge fan who wants to share his opinion with others. Last year I predicted the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl over the Green Bay Packers and while I kind of whiffed on the Packers, I absolutely nailed my Super Bowl pick. So, considering I'm on a roll right now with my NFL predictions, what do you say we stop wasting time and get to the good stuff already? Sounds good to me……
NFL Thoughts – 2013 NFL Mock Draft
It's that time of year again! It's easily one of my favorite times of the year (sports and non-sports included) and hopefully it's one of yours as well. That's right, it's NFL DRAFT SEASON BABY!!! The NFL Draft is important for plenty of reasons. One reason it's important is because it's the main factor in how your NFL team improves from year to year. A major common misconception among NFL fans is that the best way to make immediate improvements to your teams is in free agency. That's wrong. If you take a look back at all the past NFL champions, they are teams who have historically drafted well and don't really do too much in free agency. Free agents in the NFL are free agents for a reason. They are free agents because their last team didn't feel that they were worth as much as the player thinks he's worth so that guy goes packing and most of the time, he goes to another team and the truth is finally revealed a little bit down the road….that he really wasn't worth all that money he was asking for.
That's why the NFL Draft is so important. Look at the Washington Redskins for example. They were a team that "won" the NFL's free agency period for years! Did that ever lead to any kind of great results on the field? No! Then last year, the team goes out and has an excellent draft and BOOM….the Redskins are one of the hottest teams in the league now! Every single draft pick in the draft is important as teams can find immediate starters as late as in the seventh-round. For a team that was horrible last year, the draft is huge as they really do have the opportunity to make immediate improvements next season (Colts and Redskins are perfect examples). The 2013 NFL Draft isn't loaded with big names, but it's loaded with potential starters all over the place and there are a lot of teams that could walk away from this draft with 6-7 guys ready to start tomorrow. Are you excited yet?
Before we actually get to the good stuff, I figure we should get the introduction out of the way. For those of you who have been following all the action here at<em> "THE MAN CAVE"</em>, you should be familiar with me as I'm the designated "draft" guy here. First of all, I don't consider myself an NFL Draft expert by any means, I just consider myself a fanatic. I read pretty much EVERY single mock draft I can get my hands on. I also read a lot of scouting reports on these guys and I like to think I know a little bit about what I'm talking about. College football is my favorite sport in the world (GO OREGON DUCKS!) and watching players that I've seen over the course of their college careers finally make the jump to the NFL is awesome. The reason I write this mock draft is pretty much for my enjoyment only because I like to see how accurate I can be when it's all said and done. Considering I go through all the work of writing it up….I may as well post it for everyone else to see. With all that said, LET'S GET DOWN TO BIZNESS!


text: It took three years for The Pharcyde to follow up on their debut release, "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde." Not that they didn't keep busy in that period with supporting slots for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest as well as a successful spot on Lollapalooza's 1994 tour. Of course J-Swift had parted ways with the group just before the conclusion of the Bizarre Ride sessions. Rather than try to out an out replace Swift, production on Labcabincalifornia was handled by the Pharcyde's own Bootie Brown, Fatlip and Slimkid3 along with contributions from Diamond D, M-Walk and very notably the work of a recent arrival in LA, Jay Dee aka J Dilla. The resulting project, "Labcabincalifornia", maybe calmer than the group's debut but it's no less warped with stand out cuts like She Said, Drop, and Runnin'. The lead single, Drop was supported by one of the best videos ever directed by Spike Jonze and along with the above mentioned singles propelled solid sales on "Labcabincalifornia". Though the project didn't sell as well as their legendary debut, the release has secured it's own position in the pantheon of must have records. Since Tra c Entertainment and Delicious Vinyl feel that we've "gotta kick something that means something" an expanded triple disc release of "Labcabincalifornia" is here. Disc one features the original record from start to nish. Disc two features all instrumentals including the Jay Dee beats for Runnin' and Drop as well as the instrumental version of his remix of She Said. The third disc compiles the remixes and B-Cydes including the Rae & Christian remix of Runnin' and the (previously) B Cyde only cut, Emerald Butter y. The entire set is housed in a mini-box with magnet clasp with a book lled to the top with rarely seen photos, Pharcyde info and more.

How To Enable Windows 7 Auto Login Feature For Only A Defined Number Of Times
When you create multiple users or set a password for an user account in Windows, you are required to enter the password every time you log in to Windows. This feature adds security layer to user account access, but it asks you to enter the User Account password every time you turn on your PC. You may know that both Windows 7 and Windows 8 allow users to directly login to Windows without entering a password. Using the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel (netplwiz), you can easily disable enter password to logon to Windows option. This utility also allows system administrator to specify his/her password to automatically log on to his/her account without having to enter the password. Nevertheless, enabling the auto login feature makes password-protected User Account vulnerable to external attacks.

MA GPO and Beeriety Sam Adams Brewery Tour and Brunch!
It's so fun being part of Girls' Pint Out! At the end of January we had an event with Beeriety at the Sam Adams Brewery and it was a blast. The event was called "Beer for Breakfast". With a tagline like that, how could you go wrong?
I get to be the Official GPO Photog at all the events I attend, which is just fun for me. I've been to the brewery more times than I can even count at this point, but our GPO/Beeriety tour was V.I.P. status and they threw in some really awesome things for us.
We started out in the Ingredient Room for an overview of the ingredients used in all beer: barley, hops, water, and yeast.
After that, we got a special stop in the Barrel Room (where I'm still the Mayor, thank you very much), which is not included on any normal tours. It was interesting to hear a little more about why they now have the Barrel Room and learn about the different brews currently aging in barrels there.
Then we headed to the Brew House, to learn more about the process of beer brewing. And because I'm a crazy shutterbug, I got the tour guide to take this picture of our group. Of course, I would be the only one in the entire picture without their eyes open.
Then into everyone's favorite stop, the Tasting Room. Again we got some special treatment here, with a tasting of 4 different styles of Sam Adams (normally 3 are offered). Our awesome tour guide was Kate, who made sure we were taken care of.
We got to leave with some fun swag too, a free Sam Adams Perfect Pint glass and keychain, before hopping on the trolley to the famous Doyle's. The trolley ride was definitely unique. Our driver was great and kept fun music pumping, but also liked to have some fun with the brake which kept us all holding on to whatever we could to keep our balance.
We got to Doyle's and enjoyed brunch, coffee, and more beer. At the suggestion of our waitress, I had Sam Adams Chocolate Bock mixed with Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Never would have thought to do this on my own, but it was so delicious. As was my french toast.
Thanks to the organizers of the event, Becca from Girls' Pint out and Sarah of Beeriety! Lovely ladies doing lovely things to make good beer more accessible to the masses.
Speaking of which, did I mention the next event is coming up this week? GPO and Beeriety are co-hosting the Winter Warm-Up at The Haven in Jamaica Plain on Thursday, February 10. Flights of Scottish beer, good people, and a restaurant with antlers as part of their decor. You should come. It'll be a good time.
Cheers until next time!
Traditions: Pie in the Morning on Thanksgiving
This year we spent Thanksgiving in PA with Dane's family. It was great to see everyone, and Dane & I were in charge of the Thanksgiving meal with his relatives and family friends.
Before we got started on dinner, we attending a Thanksgiving tradition at the home of Dane's friends from college. Every year the family hosts a get-together on Thanksgiving morning. It's the perfect chance to see everyone and catch up before things really get busy with family dinners. The centerpiece of this gathering is pie. Any kind will do.
We gather, we chat, we eat pie. It's been an on-going tradition with the family for years. It was great to go and see friends who we probably wouldn't have spent time with otherwise, because of how busy the holiday can be with family. I contributed some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Not pie, but everyone seemed totally OK with it.
Although we only planned to stay about an hour, we all know how timing goes when you start talking with friends you haven't seen in awhile. We just enjoy their company too much to leave.
As if it could get any better with friends, family, and pie, it started to snow that morning. It was a light dusting, but just enough to really make it feel like the holidays had begun.
I just love this tradition. Family is incredibly important to both Dane and I, but our friends are just like extended family. We were so happy to spend some time together at the start of this holiday season!
What are some of your Thanksgiving traditions?
Zaftigs, Brookline
While Sam was visiting I took Monday morning off. It was the perfect time to sleep in, then go to brunch before heading into work. When we were deciding where to go for brunch I mentioned Zaftigs. Sam said she had never been, and our decision was made.
Zaftigs in Brookline is always busy. Even on a Monday morning there was a fair share of people eating brunch. This was nothing compared to the wait on a Saturday or Sunday. But the food makes the time worth it. We sat right down and started perusing the menu.
Two best friends having brunch definitely called for mimosas. We started with the bagel chips they brought out (with a really yummy dipping sauce) and our brunch cocktails.
For our brunch, Sam ordered the french toast with strawberries. I ordered the Vermont Cheddar and apple omelet. I was intrigued by the combination of cheese and apples.
Everything was so delicious! The omelet with the combination of Cheddar and apples was fantastic. It was a great combination of salty and sweet. Also, the hash browns were AWESOME. Crispy, salty, and perfectly done. Sam was equally happy with her french toast, even though she couldn't finish it all. The slices were huge! All those bagel chips probably didn't help either.
And don't forget the mimosas. Go get one.
As usual, Zaftigs was awesome. The staff is always friendly and efficient, even when there's a long line of people waiting to get in. Brunch is great, but dinner and lunch are equally yummy. Try to go at an off time. Saturday and Sunday mornings are incredibly busy, so you'll need some patience while you wait. It's also easier to find parking during off times.
See you again soon, Zaftigs!
The Search for Donuts in Boston
I'm not sure what sparked us to begin our quest to find the best donut in Boston, but one Saturday morning Dane and I decided that we needed to find some places that served up some delicious donuts. Maybe it was memories of my favorite bakery in NY, or a special on the Travel Channel. Whatever put the thought in our heads, there was no stopping us until we had found and tried some donuts from true specialty donut shops in Boston.
Our one biggest rule was that it could not be a chain, meaning that Dunkin' Donuts was not eligible for our donut taste testing. Since DD's was founded in Massachusetts, the chain is abundant in Boston. I love some great iced coffee from Dunks, but just couldn't bring myself to put it into the same category as small shops that bake their own pastries fresh each day on site.
I started my search for some specialty shops that specialize in donuts and found a few places around the city. Finding places was the biggest challenge in this because I really wanted to try places that are known for donuts. Just being a bakery and having donuts was not enough to qualify to be on this list. The shop had to really specialize in donuts. After some time on the internet, we found three places to try and here they are.
Mike's Donuts
2 Locations: Roxbury and the Forest Hills Orange Line T Stop
Our first stop on the donut tour 2010 was Mike's Donuts. This place kept popping up in every search I did for donuts in Boston. I can see why after visiting. Dane and I stopped in around 12:30pm to some delicious smelling baked goods. Sadly, by the time we came by much of the selection was long gone. The donuts are baked each day here, and whatever they make is what they sell. Once something runs out, you are out of luck.
We tried a glazed donut and a vanilla frosted with sprinkles here.
There was actually a big different between the two. The vanilla frosted was much more crumbly and had a cake like texture. The glazed was much lighter and flaky, but was not covered 100% covered in the sweet glaze. We both liked the glazed donut here better than the vanilla frosted.
If you go, head out there early to get the best and freshest selection. Mike's Donuts is easily accessible on the Orange line either by walking about 2 minutes to the shop from the Roxbury Crossing stop, or going right to the location in the Forest Hills stop. The staff is very friendly and efficient, making conversation with the customers and creating a generally upbeat atmosphere. There are also a few tables if you prefer to sit and eat there.
Doughboy Donuts
South Boston
Second up was Doughboy Donuts. Reviews I read seemed to have some really hardcore fans and it sounded exactly like what we were looking for. We trekked out to South Boston and navigated the streets to find it. For us, this was a bit more difficult since we were not familiar with South Boston.
From the outside, you wouldn't necessarily assume that this place has great donuts. Heading inside will make you sure that this is a local donut shop where people meet and chat about the day. They had a great selection, much more than at Mike's, even later in the day. Here we picked up a glazed jelly donut and a glazed donut.
Both of these options were super yummy. The glazed was light and perfectly sweet. The jelly donut was filled with raspberry jelly (my personal favorite) with a similar glaze. If I lived any reasonable distance to this place, I'd probably be there every weekend.
The shop itself seems like it's probably been around forever. The staff was not as lively as at Mike's, but got the job done. Here the people that stood out were those that were clearly locals, who stopped to chat with us when noticing that Dane was wearing his Penn State t-shirt. This place was not the easiest to find or access if you don't have a car and know the area well, however. Again, there are some tables and chairs should you choose to sit and enjoy your snack.
Verna's Coffee and Donut Shop
Last, but definitely not least, on our one day donut journey was Verna's in North Cambridge. After having a hard time finding specialty donut shops only in Boston, I expanded my search to include Cambridge and am so happy I did. Verna's was our resounding favorite of the day.
When we walked in to the shop it was clear that we were walking into a real bakery with fresh baked everything. The smell was delectable. At this point we were in the late afternoon, so there was no crowd to contend with, but they still managed to have a great selection of donuts. After looking at our options, I decided to go with another jelly donut while Dane chose a glazed lemon filled donut.
The staff consisted of one woman at the counter, who seemed to mean business. I wasn't sure that she liked the fact we took a minute to decide what we wanted, even though we were the only ones in the shop. However, I quickly realized that feeling was wrong after we ordered. She threw in a free donut for each of us with our order. The perks of visiting a bakery towards the end of the day!
Both donuts were light enough to contend with the rich fillings and glazed perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We grabbed a table to enjoy our donuts and both decided Verna's had been our favorite of the three shops we visited that day.
We had so much fun visiting all these different places, but are always looking for new suggestions. Is there any really great places that we missed and should try? We're always up for a new challenge!
Robinwood Cafe, JP
Robinwood Cafe is quickly becoming one of our go-to places for a quick and affordable bite to eat. We passed by one day and decided to stop in for brunch. It was one of those mornings where I just needed some bacon and a cup of coffee (aka – I had a great time out with friends the night before), and Robinwood was perfect.
The restaurant opened recently and has a cozy atmosphere with a friendly waitstaff. There are a few booths and tables, and a counter for service.
Dane went with an omelet with vegetables and cheese and some home fries. I decided on a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a toasted English muffin. Of course, had to also go with a side of home fries. Oh, and don't forget my coffee.
Everything was really good. The home fries have a little kick to them. I'm thinking there's some red pepper on them. Service is fast and efficient and everything on the menu is very reasonably priced.
Last time Dane and I went there (because we've now gone 3 or 4 times), we finally realized there's a laundromat next door. Makes this place even more perfect for us. Throw in a load of laundry, go eat, throw it in the dryer, and by the time you're done eating and have paid the bill it's ready to be folded.
Give Robinwood a shot, especially if you are already in the JP area. And let me know, I'll meet you there!
Victoria's Diner, Boston
First off, I apologize for being an awful blogger. I went on vacation to Disney, then had my sisters visiting for the weekend. We had a blast, but it didn't leave much time for blogging! I'm back now. Promise.
Dane and I are becoming brunch people. Honestly, breakfast/brunch has never been my meal of choice (unless I'm eating it for dinner, which is just awesome). But we've found a few places worth loving, including Victoria's Diner.
When I moved to Boston, one of the things I missed was the diner scene. I can't count how many times I ended a night with friends at a diner on Long Island. There didn't seem to be any diners around, and if there were, then I just wasn't finding them. And then an episode of Phantom Gourmet shed light on a diner in Boston with Nutella French Toast. Dane and I were in the car within about 5 minutes headed to Victoria's Diner. That was about 2 years ago, and we've been together ever since.
Most recently we stopped in to grab a quick brunch before heading out shopping. It was packed (as it usually is on Saturday/Sunday in the mid-morning) so we headed to the counter to grab two open stools. The service was fast and efficient, the food is good, and the bill is always reasonable.
Dane started by getting up close and personal with some muffins before we ordered.
I would highly recommend the french toast with Nutella, but for this visit we opted for some egg sandwiches. Dane ordered the Egg BLT (yes, a BLT with fried eggs) and I went for a simpler Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich. All breakfast sandwiches come with their yummy hash browns.
This was just one of our many visits to Victoria's Diner and, as usual, we left happy and full. The staff at Victoria's embodies the no-nonsense kind of diner service you'd expect. You can be in and out quickly, or take your time with your meal.
If you're in the mood for diner food, Victoria's is a must try.

The Friendly Toast, Cambridge
This is a place I kept hearing about, and has one of the cutest names ever. I had to give it a try, and given the name, it seemed like the place go to for brunch. Last weekend, we headed over around 10am on a Sunday.
And it was INSANE. The wait was at least a half hour, and the tiny waiting area was overflowing with people. My immediate reaction was two fold. First, this sucks because I'm really hungry. Second, well they must be doing something right for all these people to wait around just to have brunch here. So we settled in amongst the masses and waited for our name to be called. (FYI, another option would be to eat at the bar, which is first come first serve. We would have done this, except that families kept letting their kids sit in the seats and play on the bar, so there were no open seat and I didn't want to be the mean lady that made the kids move.)
When we finally got a seat, we were greeted by a friendly waitress who handed over these menus. Love the 50′s themed cartoons and kitschy decor. All over the walls there were vintage decorations and signs. And then there was this guy…
Looking at some of the orders around me, it seemed that the portion sizes were huge. When I decided to go with the french toast, I had to ask about the massive slices of bread I kept seeing. The waitress told me one piece would probably be more than enough, and she was very right. I ordered the Drunkard's French Toast (or something like that, I can't remember the exact name and can't find it on the menu online) with a Grand Marnier and raspberry cream sauce. Dane ordered Omar's homefries, which was a mix of pototoes, veggies, and cheese.
Everything was delicious and we managed to polish it off. Service was fast and friendly, and for such a packed house it was a great experience. The staff seemed totally prepared for the rush. We definitely go back, but maybe at an off peak time. When I'm hungry I have to eat! I get cranky in large crowds when my stomach is growling. Can you blame me? Oh, and did I mention the toast is as big as your head?
Overall, good job Friendly Toast. We shall meet again, I'm sure.
Geoffrey's Cafe, Roslindale
We were invited to brunch at Geoffrey's Cafe by one of Dane's co-workers a few weekends ago. She told us they had Disco Brunch every weekend, along with what seemed to be a magical creation called the Donut Muffin. That's all it took for us to hop in the car and get ourselves to Roslindale.
We met up with everyone just as Geoffrey's Cafe opened at 10:00 am. First people in, first people seated, and for a while the only people there. The decor is great and gives the place a really comfortable feel. Not to mention that I totally want an awesome wall like this in my own house one day.
We started with the reason we came, the Donut Muffin. They were piled high on platters on the bar, and made the whole restaurant smell amazing. We got two for the table to share because they're huge and we wanted to have at least some room for our actual brunch. Let me just say, Donut Muffins are heavenly. Just go there and try one. You can thank me later.
Did I mention that our waitress was FANTASTIC? She chatted with us about her suggestions, and when Dane told her I have a food blog she asked me to give her the URL so she can check it out. Then she gave us ideas of other places to try in the area. Since we really aren't familiar with Roslindale at all, it was great to hear about some new restaurants and stores that we can explore.
The restaurant started filling up with people who seemed to be regulars shortly after we got there. Or maybe it was just that the staff was super friendly, so it just seemed that way. It took a bit to decide after the Donut Muffins and I was fairly boring with my order. Just scrambled eggs, toast, homefries, and bacon. Everyone else tried different things.
Everything was fantastic. Food was delish, service was wonderful, easy location to get to, great atmosphere. Almost the entire brunch menu (except one item) is under $10, which makes it very affordable. Can you tell that I loved this place? We'll definitely go back. In fact, maybe this Sunday would be good. See you soon Donut Muffins!
Apple Cinnamon Topping
I got a little creative this weekend when I had leftover apples from the sangria I made. We decided that we wanted waffles in the morning, and although syrup is always a good bet for a topping, the beauty of waffles is that you can put so many different kinds of toppings on them. I couldn't just go for the syrup. It was too expected.
So, I had 4 small pink lady apples. And I got an idea. We love the way this variety of apple tastes, and pink lady apples have a great texture that would work well in an apple tart or pie. Why not make my own apple cinnamon topping? I'm all about making people happy.
Here's what I did.
Apple Cinnamon Topping
- 4 small apples (I used pink lady apples, but choose whatever variety you like best)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon flour
Peel the apples and core. I don't have an apple corer, so I cut the apple into quarters and cut out the seeds myself. Cut the apple into small chunks. The smaller you cut it the faster it will cook, but don't cut it so small that it's practically apple sauce. I cut mine into about 1/4 inch cubes.
Preheat a nonstick frying pan to low-medium heat. Add the apples once the pan is heated. Add the brown and white sugar and cinnamon. Give it a stir to distribute the sugar and coat the apples. Add the water and stir again. Cover the pan and let the apple mixture simmer until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally. This took about 25 minutes for me.
Once the apples are tender, add the teaspoon of flour. This will thicken the mixture and make it the consistency of a pie filling. If you want it more syrupy, you can let it cool without adding the flour before using.
Now top your waffles and enjoy!
I didn't actually have a recipe for this topping. Using the basics that I know from watching hours upon hours of the Food Network, I just decided to wing it. I'm glad it turned out well! This would be amazing served warm on top of some vanilla ice cream too. Definitely going to try that soon. You know, for the sake of the blog. Because I'm selfless like that.
What's your favorite waffle topping?
Time to weigh in: Pancakes vs. Waffles
There have been many great topics brought forth for debate in the world. Topics such as how to handle the war in Iraq, whether the drinking age should be lowered, or the best way to increase sustainability always come forward as topics of great contention. But, the question we pose today has great implications for breakfast food everywhere. Pancakes or waffles?
As Dane and I spent an evening trying to figure out what to have for dinner, we tossed around the idea of having breakfast for dinner. This is always a great idea as far as we're concerned. But then this topic came up. Which did we want? Would it be pancakes or waffles?
We decided the only fair way to settle this battle of the breakfast greats was with a list of the positive attributes of each contender. You can make your own decision, but this is what we came up with.
- Pancakes potentially have more varieties (chocolate chip, banana, strawberry, blueberry). These can be done with waffles, but not always as easily.
- You don't need special equipment (i.e. a waffle maker) to cook up pancakes, just a pan and a spatula.
- Pancakes can easily be made into fun shapes (like Mickey Mouse or letters).
- Depending on the size of the griddle you can make a bunch of pancakes at a time.
- Pancakes tend to cook faster.
- You can roll a pancake up with toppings and eat it burrito style.
- If needed, a pancake could totally be used as a frisbee.
- Waffles have perfect holes for gathering syrup or other toppings.
- Waffles are known for making a great pair with whipped cream.
- They have complimentary crispy and fluffy qualities.
- With the right waffle maker, you can get perfect and consistent waffles every time.
- If you put ice cream in the middle, two waffles make an awesome ice cream sandwich.
- You can go crazy and make them savory by pairing them with chicken.
In the end, we ended up going with pancakes, for the only reason that we got a new griddle for our wedding and had yet to use it.
What would your pick be?

The summer before this past one I planted some azaleas, I think they're Encore. Not knowing any better, I put down ground cloth first and cut holes for the azaleas. They've hardly grown at all since then. Could the ground cloth be the reason? Any suggestions for getting them to grow more? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A shrub requires time to establish a sturdy -- and vigorous -- root system before it can put out new growth topside. Various possibilities why "no growth" -- among them insufficient water and/or insufficient light. What is the "ground cloth?" If plastic sheeting, it's a serious mistake. Even if a woven material, know that you will eventually rue the day you installed it. People usually use landscape fabric of one kind or another in the hope of avoiding weeds. But weeds will blow in and grow in the mulch that's on top of the landscape fabric. Suggest you bite the bullet, remove the ground cloth, then stroll the garden now and then as you remove the young weeds before they get out of hand. |
About 45 years ago I planted several hundred rhododendons and azaleas using a plastic landscape barrier covered with pine bark nuggets. I had worked the soil and removed many stones before putting down the plastic barrier. I poked holes in the plastic to plant the rhododendrons and azaleas. I was skeptical about whether the plants would get too dry. I was amazed when I saw the results. During droughts, the ground remained moist. During very wet periods, the soil didn't get too wet. The plastic tempered the moisture and seemed to keep an ideal level of moisture. This area was sloping so water never stood on the plastic. The plastic had tiny holes so that some water could get through. The beds were about 6' wide so that there was always moist soil nearby. I was actually very amazed they my lazy side had done something that may have actually be really good for the plants. The plastic is still there after 45 years. The rhododendrons and azaleas have done extremely well, at least until deer attacked them. Then after we put up a deer fence, the ones that hadn't died recovered beautifully. I would do it again, at least on sloping areas. More recent plantings were done using several sheets of newspaper under pine bark nuggets. That works well also. Getting back to the original posting, slow is good as long as the plants look healthy. Plants in full sun will grow slower. Those in shade will grow faster but may not bloom. If the leaves are a healthy shade of green with no yellowing, then there are probably no big problems. The most common problem is improper planting. That is when a potted plant is planted without opening up the root system. This will retard growth of the plants and can eventually kill them. The roots that are circling each other strangle each other and the plant dies. If you did that, you may dig them up and replant them correctly. Now would be a good time. Rare Find Nursery has a great instruction sheet on doing this. The link is below. |

Azaleas need an acidic soil, so that could be an issue as well. I don't think the ground cloth would be a problem; most landscapers use them. You will also want to ensure you are pruning them correctly and they are getting the proper amount of light. Your azalea may need to be pruned back hard according to the directions at the top of the following page, which is on rhododendrons, but for which the care is basically the same. |

Kilroy Was Here for a Large Labia Look Inside her Vagina Close-Up
Nothing could be finer than to be in her vagina in the morning is a most misunderstood song lyric which springs to mind when I see as sublime a sight as erotic 18 Close Up cunt teen nude model Julia's genitals in my face whilst she looks over her fully shaved pubic mound with both hands in her crotch framing her sexy female genitalia with fingers in clit fingering proximity and luscious large labia lips spreading wide enough to reveal but a sneaky teen twat tease view inside her vagina as girl cum leaks from her swollen sex slit dribbling down on her perineum for a not so subtle show of sexual arousal of her slippery sweet succulent vaginal juices flowing free in a fuck me now fashion in what strikes me as a truly classic but far more sexy Kilroy Was Here style pussy pose…
…just seeing such sexy fat labia lips on a skinny teen girl naked could inspire me to wax poetic on pussy for days on end as, indeed, I can't help myself from staring at her crotch (is that rude of me? or is the fact this tiny teen keeps flashing her pussy in my face an open invitation for a close-up gynecological examination of her female sexual anatomy at large?). Honestly, I'm torn as a lover of large labia lips between loving gorgeous engorged genital girl Julia's swollen labia and cute clit hood in an external pussy worship manner, pleasuring cunt flaps and clitoris masturbating her to orgasm without touching fornication orifice (which would be an overt vaginal invasion of pussy privacy to my mind), or just diving in to the dark, wet tunnel of lust as it appears to be a most comfortable cunt for my cock to occupy, an inviting vagina voluptuous if there ever was one! And, while slender and tender teenage girls with small tits sexy though they may be is not something I get off on as a rule in visual erotica such as this, I dare say I may have finally found in sexiest Julia's genitals the perfect pussy for my vagina blog! So, whilst I stare at her beautiful big pussy lips and wet dream what it might be like to just nestle my penis deep inside her vagina a little while longer, here's more gyno porn of this stunningly sexy nude teen masturbating with a dildo vibrator in pretty close-up pussy spreading photos as well as hardcore speculum masturbation videos of Julia at 18CloseUp.com:

One of the most frequent questions I get from parents is: "My three year-old constantly throws tantrums and won't listen to me. What can I do?"
The first step I take is to get to the heart of the issue. There are many factors that affect a child's behavior including parenting styles, family stress or even a medical illness. By talking through the issue, I get a better idea of what is causing the behavioral problems.
However, the conversation often leads to disciplinary strategies. Today I want to focus on time-outs.
Time-outs can be very effective when they are used correctly. They work best for children ages 2-5 years old, but can work for older children as well. Here are 4 steps to making time-outs work well:

Business Success, Part II: Elements of Staying on Top
By: Cathy Christensen
Posted: April 28, 2010, from the May 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
"Being up a little and having a comfortable enough cash flow; it's a trick, but it's what makes Glen Ivy go," Gray says.

Competition is another powerful force both today and in the future, according to Murad. "Today, there is more competition, and it comes from everywhere. You have to understand that and be willing to modify whatever you do," he says. One of those modifications might be to become more connected with other health care professionals, because, according to Jamal, she sees a future where health care, spa and medical professionals will become closer. "Align yourself with all kinds of professionals. If you're not working with physicians, at least have a personal referral relationship to help stay in that realm," she recommends.
All in all, says Gray, clients are driving the changes taking place in the spa industry. "The industry in the United States has seen a great deal of growth during the past 15 years, and we have an increasingly savvy spa-going public with higher expectations. In order to succeed in the future, it's the spas that have both competent and caring employees, and originality and innovation in the client experience they offer that will succeed."

Greg Williams has never been one to hold back. He's an old school coach that always tells it like it is, be it calling out his struggling defense in the media, or firing relentless shots at opposing quarterbacks to test their mental toughness and durability. On Wednesday, he did the former, criticizing his Tennessee Titans players for their inability to plug holes and get off blocks in run defense.
"Some of those guys that are staying blocked are the ones who have trouble making teams, you know?" Williams said. "The guys that get off blocks are the ones making teams."
The Senior Defensive Assistant wasn't wrong in implying that some defenders are struggling to get off of blocks, thus ruining the team's efforts in run defense. But can the Titans really afford to cut their entire front seven? I think not.
