It didn't matter that the cracked court sloped downward toward the end with the nine-foot rim. At the high end closer to the building the basket was even lower, and bent close to a 45-degree angle toward the ground. Some would consider the strike boxes spray painted on the school walls graffiti. I always thought of them as a public service.
At some point in the last few years, the city refinished the courtyard. Bright designs cover the surface: an infield baseball diamond surrounded by a running track, a basketball court with brand new hoops.
They weren't getting much use this afternoon as I went by. The schoolyard was empty.
The gates were locked.
It's been like this for a while now. Maybe the reason I really took notice this time was because I had just gotten back from a semi-pro baseball tournament called the Mid-Atlantic Regional, the final qualifier on the road to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
That's the town in Pennsylvania where they played the first Little League baseball game in 1939, with 30 players in a three-team league. Twenty-five years after that, a group of baby boomer kids from Mid-Island LL won the 18th Little League World Series and came home to a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan.
That's small time compared to 2011. Turn on your television today and you'll find six hours of coverage on ESPN. Not of the championship game or the semifinals. They're televising the second round.
The "putting-12-year-old-baseball-players-on-national-television" programming strategy has even creeped past the Williamsport city line. In Bristol, Conn., for the Mid-Atlantic Regional both the championship game and semis were broadcast by ESPN.
Rising above the backstop and the 60-foot basepaths was a press box that looked hospitable enough, but got pretty cramped once ESPN had taken over its third of the room and most of the rest was taken up by scoreboard operators, official scorers, public address announcers and a guy programming music with a soundboard.
This is the model being chased across the board in youth sports, from football to basketball to soccer.
We've professionalized youth sports.
And ironically enough, in a time where it's reflexive to rail against the real-deal adult pros as overpaid ego monsters, it feels like the same people that hold that opinion look at this development as a good thing.
It's a fascinating transformation considering you could go back less than a century to a time when organized youth sports didn't exist. An era where immigrant parents wanted their American-born sons to stop messing around with some silly game and get a job.
The Gehrigs. The DiMaggios. The Berras. It's a common tale.
How dramatic is the change? Back in the spring I was covering a baseball game at Tottenville HS. From the football field on the other side of the bleachers you could hear the familiar roar and fade of cheers. So I took a look at all the excitement.
Flag football. In April.
Somewhere between Joe DiMaggio's parents fretting that he was wasting time with that baseball nonsense and another group of parents hanging on every play of a springtime flag football game is the median — the proper approach to youth sports in America.
I'm not sure when that line was crossed — my father's youth, mine? — but it's long in the past, fading in the rearview mirror. And there's no going back.
There's a long-time high school basketball assistant coach on the Island who disdains AAU basketball. He views the emphasis on travel and games to run counter to everything that should be taught, and the time committed to those teams pulls players away from what they should be concentrating on.
But his son wanted to play AAU ball, so the father went along, because that's what all the other kids were doing and what else was there?
There are soccer clinics for pre-schoolers and fall baseball for grammar schoolers and non-stop spring and summer basketball teams for high schoolers. You can travel halfway across the country for a tournament and hope the game is on TV. Because parents have convinced themselves this is the only way for their kids to become one of the pro athletes that they look at as selfish and greedy.
There's a saying about professional sports that's become familiar: "When they say it's not about the money, it's about the money." It's the kind of thing that translates easily to youth sports. When somebody tells you it's all about the kids, it's not about the kids.
Because the kids don't need television, or the public address announcer or the DJ. They made out fine for decades, back when the gates at PS 45 were still unlocked.

For 30 years The Walkabouts have written and sung about one of their main topics: America – the origin and home of Rock'n'Roll. The Walkabouts scrutinize America as a mythic place spotlighted by desires and hopes, but also contradictions and inconsistences.
Singer-Songwriter Chris Eckman and Carla Torgerson founded The Walkabouts in 1984 in Seattle. 1989 saw the release of their Sub Pop debut, finding themselves the only non-Grunge band next to the likes of Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney. Ironically enough the sound of The Walkabouts, the mixing of Folk, Americana and Country with the knowledge and energy of Punk, survived the Grunge hype of the 90's and became one of the most important and enduring musical genres of the following decades. In 1992 The Walkabouts and Sub Pop split but the band joined forces with Sub Pop Europe represented by Glitterhouse Records in Beverungen, Germany. After releasing two albums -- "Devil's Road" (1996) and "Nighttown" (1997) -- with Virgin Records, The Walkabouts returned again to their home Glitterhouse and have remained their from 1999 until today.

Institution for diagnosing and treating the sick or injured, housing them during treatment, examining patients, and managing childbirth. Outpatients, who can leave after treatment, come in for emergency care or are referred for services not available in a private doctor's office. Hospitals may be public (government-owned) or private (profit-making or not-for-profit); in most nations except the U.S., most are public. They may also be general, accepting all types of medical or surgical cases, or special (e.g., children's hospitals, mental hospitals), limiting service to a single type of patient or illness. However, general hospitals usually also have specialized departments, and special hospitals tend to become affiliated with general hospitals.
Learn more about hospital with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Hospital (An tOspidéal in Irish) is a town in east County Limerick, Ireland. The town itself has a population of 1206 people as of the 2006 census but within a 2km radius that number more than doubles.
An alternative explanation, from the bio of Sir Valentine Browne, Knight, Surveyor general of Ireland (who was awarded lands in the area by Queen Elizabeth I of England) is that the town anciently formed part of the parish of Aney, and derived its name from a hospital for Knights Templar, founded in 1226 by Geoffry de Marisco, then Lord-Justice of Ireland.
There is a stone circle nearby at Ballinamona.

If you're one of the many thousands of Filipino nationals living and working abroad, you might be able to advantage of an Overseas Filipino Worker / OFW loan. Many financial institutions and lending companies in Philippines offer special arrangements tailored to the unique needs of those working in foreign countries.
The Difficulties of Working Overseas
It's not an easy thing to do, to work in another country. You're separated from your family and your friends by distance (and more often than not, in a different time zone too). You become suddenly immersed in a strange culture where maybe you don't even have a firm grasp of the language yet. You can feel scared and alone from the moment you land.
So why do people do it? Well, the rewards can be quite beneficial. Some people are willing to undergo these temporary hardships in order to provide a better-than-decent income for their loved ones back home. For them, the benefits and the disadvantages of being an OFW balance each other out, mostly.
Unexpected Emergencies
Even so, sometimes the money sent back to the folks at home is insufficient. We never know when something foreseen is going to impact on our lives, after all.
Imagine a scenario in which a family member becomes suddenly ill and needs an expensive operation. What is the family vehicle breaks down, leaving your household members without transport? Or any of a dozen other situations arise, from damage to the home to unplanned educational expenses. Whatever the reason, your family needs cash – maybe more cash than you can raise or send in a hurry, especially if you're overseas.
That's when it's handy to be aware of a lending company with an OFW lending program you can make use of.
Criteria for OFW Loans
There are certain requirements that must be met to qualify for an OFW loan, of course.
First and foremost, the borrower must be a Filipino citizen living and working overseas.
Also, he or she must be 21 years of age or older. If the borrower will be older than 60 when the loan matures, a Special power of Attorney will be required as well.
Accurate contact details, including current telephone numbers, will be required as in all loans.
The lending firm may also require the loan to have a co-maker to guarantee repayment.
The following documentation is also requested from the OFW/borrower, by the lender, in almost all cases:
- A recent photograph of the OFW, 2" x 2"
- A copy of the OFW's Contract of Employment
- A signed Certificate of Employment from the employer
- A Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) information sheet.
- A copy of the OFW's working visa, issued by the country in which they are employed
- A copy of the OFW's passport
- A copy of an Overseas Employment Certificate or e-receipt for same
- Proof of purchase or billing for the purpose of the loan.
Depending on the lender's policies, you may not need to submit all three of the Contract of Employment, Certificate of Employment and POEA information sheet; some firms are satisfied with any one of the three.
You may also be asked to provide proof of residency if the due accounts are made out to a family member or other householder instead of in your name.
Other Things To Consider About Your OFW Loan
The length of time for processing an OFW loan can vary, depending on how long it takes to verify documents and the purposes of the loan.
You should also be aware that interest rates may vary, depending on your income, your assessed capacity to make repayments, and the length of term of your loan.

I use a short steam box for bending ribs for kayaks. The ribs are 1/4 inch thick and 3/4 inches wide and usually less than two foot long. I use a long steam box for steaming coamings that go around the cockpit of the kayak. The wood for the coamings is about 7 feet long and 3/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches in cross section.
Step 1: Materials list
You will need a coat hanger or a few feet of heavy wire as supports inside the steam box to keep the wood off the bottom so heat can get to it from all sides.
You will need a cooking pot. A two quart size is good for starters. You can fill it two thirds full and generate steam for several hours.
You will need a heat source. If you plan on working outdoors, a camping stove works fine. If you work indoors, you can use a hotplate. The hotplate I use runs 750 watts. That is hot enough for the three foot steambox I use and just hot enough for the 8 foot steam box.
Since first writing this Instructable, I have gotten my hands on a wallpaper steamer. It works much better than boiling water on a hotplate, mostly because it runs at a higher wattage and puts out more heat. If you can get a used one, go for it.

Is all timber able/suitable to be bent by steaming?? I have a architrave that has rotted and needs to be replaced it is 1 1/2" x 3/8" bent to a radius of about 2'. Existing timber is Australian Silky Oak (not real oak though).
If your serious about making a bow whether it be a cross bow or a long bow always do your research. The wood traditionally used for making a bow were hickory and lemon-wood, or bamboo and yew. if these types of wood are not available in your area then you have two options, find substitutes for the above timber or go to an importer that imports the material from whatever country where it is grown. I hope this helps
Should this work to bend something like a bamboo cane ? have you got any tip for bending bamboo canes ?
It's better to bend the cane when it's still green ?
Thanks a lot for the instructable anyway =)
Thanks for your dedication. Then I'm going to tell you how I did the bamboo bending ( or make an instructable for it)
good luck =)
Good Luck with your work =)
Secondly, a 12 inch diameter by ten foot long pipe will take quite a good source of steam to get up to temperature. You will need something more than a one quart pot of water. Also, the pvc pipe loses heat, so if you put some insulation around it, you won't need as potent a heat source to get it up to temperature.
Thanks, pquin3
Your scheme for straightening the neck via steam and then locking it into a straight shape might work. And if it does, you would be the world expert and could write an instructable about it.
On the other hand, dried wood does not steam bend as well as wet wood or green wood, I assume guitar necks are made from well seasoned wood. Might be easier just to put a new neck on the guitar.

Did SB have a hearing on Monday June 7??
Thank you hellinor, I hadn't forgotten - just having E-Connect trouble.
DDA Kelly Cromer is establishing quite the name for herself and I could not be happier for her to be heading up Emma's Team - two trials she has been involved with, over just the last few months involving kids with very bad parents, both lost while on trial and were found guilty of Murder 2 - 25 to life.The following was provided by our friend Kat of Katfish....Ponders fame:
The information provided here is compiled from various posts and e-mail correspondence and phone calls about the hearing details, so this report is not verbatim and may not be reported in the exact order that it occurred in court.
Superior Court Judge Hayden Zackey presided over this hearing. Deputy District Attorney (DDA)S. Kelly Cromer is representing the people and Stacey Barker is being represented by Public Defender (PD) Roberto F. Dager.
This hearing was held in a different courtroom because the air conditioning in Judge Zackey's courtroom wasn't working and as Tori put it, "It was 2 degrees hotter than hell today". She also noted that in this courtroom on the back of the table where the defendant sits was a sign that says, "Do not communicate with prisoners" and stated a PC code violation number.
The reason we mention this is because at the last hearing, when Barker entered the courtroom she said "hiii" to her boyfriend in a flirtatious manner, during the hearing she was bouncy and laughing with her attorney, and when she was led out of the courtroom by the bailiff she turned in a "coy" way and said "BYE" to her family...kind of like she was somewhere other than a court of law.....bidding farewell to her fans. She was definitely in violation.
The regular accredited press from the Antelope Valley News was in court today. Time Warner Cable was also there recording the proceedings. One of the camera guys put a microphone on the attorney's table, Public defender Roberto Dager removed it and handed it to a bailiff, Johnny, who gave it back to the camera man.....so he just set it behind the table and the hearing started.
Judge Zackey started the hearing by announcing the next court date will be June 28 to finish up all pre-trial discovery, motions and whatever else. Then he said we'll be back on July 26 for trial, this will be 40 of 60.
The attorneys for both sides were having a "debate" about some new discovery that the defense hasn't received yet. DDA Kelly Cromer has some CD's that consist of taped visits with civilians that went to see Barker in jail and some letters to and from another inmate at the jail.
Evidently Dager hasn't seen the letters yet because Judge Zackey told Cromer to give the defense a CD of the letters. DDA Cormer told the court she wants to have all of the discovery transcribed to include who Barker is talking to and who is saying what.
Hmmm.....must be planning to use some of this in court if the state is going to the trouble of having transcriptions made. What part about "no rights to privacy" is it that people who are incarcerated don't get?
That was the end of the hearing and the bailiff, Johnny, pulled out Stacey Barker's chair and took her by the arm to go back into lockup before she could even say goodbye to PD Dager, she didn't even attempt to look at her family and boyfriend.
Hopefully, both parties will get all the loose ends tied up by the June 28th hearing so the July 26 trial date will stand! There will be justice for Emma soon. As I have said before, Truth = Justice. It is time for the truth to come out, whatever that may be.
Thank you my WS family for everything you do, everyday. You are loved and appreciated.

BBM - I have seen these numbers several times in this thread. Can someone tell me what they mean? TIAOriginally Posted by LCoastMom
Judge Zackey started the hearing by announcing the next court date will be June 28 to finish up all pre-trial discovery, motions and whatever else. Then he said we'll be back on July 26 for trial, this will be 40 of 60.
Don't quote me, I'll have to double check but if I am remembering correctly it has to do with the right to a speedy trial, it is the deadline, for either side to finish filing official documents or sharing info etc. number of days (60) number of days that will pass by that date (40) and to return to court.
I need to find out what exactly it is that resets this count down as we have seen this more than once.
Thanks for the question, that had been bothering me too.
ETA: Our res expert agrees and as far as she remembers, when the case is not ready for trial, the count down is restarted by filing a motion for this or that reason, so when the last 60 out of 60 was hit, and the PD was not ready they must have filed for an "extension" which is why she again went back to the 60 out of (whatever) it was that day.
I cut part of the report this hearing, it is just our dribble of what is seen and said (prior to the momster appearing in court) and doesn't change the hearing information. It was 2* hotter than hades and 3 full buses of detainees who were unloaded and processed before the hearing started.
As always I'll leave KatFishPonders link if you want to catch the rest. Also a photo of DevilDude is posted at her site.
KatFish has passed on her thanks to those of you who have been visiting her.
It was noted that momster had a very neat hair braid and appeared quiet, there were no dances down the walkway this hearing or winks to lover boy. Who was sitting with Emma's great grandparents, they have continued with the little remarks and nasty looks which has caused "Nurse" to question when this became about us, she doesn't understand why it bothers them that someone wants to see justice for Emma.
Please note that as usual Mr/Mrs Barker and sons were not present, nor have they ever participated in this little game.
We can't make this up, the gals dubbed him devil dude based on his scary looks his name on MySpace is Vampire's Empire and the mother of his daughter, goes by: Devil_DOLLS.F.V.
In a hearing held at the Lancaster courthouse on June 28 Superior Court Judge Hayden Zackey has again changed the date for the murder trial of Stacey Barker to now start on Monday, September 20, 2010.
As soon as court is under way, Cromer hands Dager a disc. She says there's a wire tap conversation on the disc ( it isn't clear whose line was tapped) there are also taped phone calls the defendant made and (most interesting IMO) are letters she has exchanged with an inmate Sutton. Judge Zackey asks, "Is that the Erin Sutton who was in my courtroom?" Cromer, Dager and another attorney (unidentified) all respond, " Yes it is your honor." Judge Zackey looks puzzled and maybe a bit shocked when he finds out it was the same guy. (Evidently he didn't make the connection at the last hearing when this was mentioned.)
Our friends actually made the connection at the last hearing, but I didn't include the following in that post because we didn't know his first name so we weren't positive it was the inmate Sutton who had been in Zackey's court before. Judge Zackey wasn't the only one surprised to learn that the inmate Barker has been corresponding with was someone we have talked about before. He has no relationship to this case (before now) but was in court the same day as Stacey back in September 2009. Our friends TD and Anurse nicknamed him "Devil Dude" when they saw him back then, here is how they described him at that time:
"Devil dude was a very creepy guy covered in tattoos (Kat input I love tattoos) but they were all over his bald head, on his face all over his hands and arms, he had a very evil look to him, his eyes were seriously creepy...He was brought in to the courtroom and we were all asked to clear the room...He was all shackled up, he had the handcuffs, the chain around his waist, and the bracelets around his ankles...There were I think like 3 or 4 guards in the room....I dont know what he did, but as we were allowed back in the courtroom, he looked at everyone in the eyes, like he was getting a image of us in his head...He was just creepy, we all had shivers when he looked at us..."
we don't know exactly what this guy did; however, he makes mention on his MS that he was arrested and is facing life in prison because of something he "allegedly" did to a guy he took guitar lessons from, after he found out the guy was a convicted sex offender and this guy had been trying to get Vampire to allow him to give Vampire's 12 year old daughter "private lessons". He claims he is falsely accused.....but that's a story for another day.*
Update: After further investigation we find that Sutton is in jail for felony robbery with a $2 million bail. Perhaps a third strike felony? The RSO "Vampire" mentions on his MySpace is still living in Lancaster and is listed on the Megan's law website as a child molester.
The bigger question is, how did Stacey Barker meet him and why did she choose this guy for a friend? Our guess is she met him on the bus ride to court, it's 90 miles each way. We know of at least twice that they were in court on the same day. Some think it's a protection thing. She may think other inmates won't mess with her if they are friends. I tend to think they are commiserating with each other because they are both "falsely accused and can relate", who knows??? It seems something from their communications will be used in the trial anyway. We'll see...... **
Ok, back to the hearing....Judge Zackey says he has spoken with both parties and everything is complete in the discovery process. He learned from Cormer and Dager that both they and some of the witnesses and investigators have commitments near the proposed July 26 trial date, so that date will now be a pre-trial hearing.The trial will be the week of September 24. Monday the 20th will start the trial.(We're not sure if that is when jury selection starts, we'll know more after July 26.)
Zackey was very clear that there will be no more delays. Zackey addressed the lawyers," You both want it to stay in this court right? " They both said, "yes". He said, "Alright then, there will be NO more delays unless I am in a trial, then you both agree to wait until I am finished to start the trial...the only delays will be from ME, agree?" They both said," Yes" and that was it the hearing was over.
* Devil Dude claims he was arrested and convicted based on lies of his former friend and the case had ended in a hung jury the first time through.
I'm guessing the formerly "goth wannabe" momster may have been a fan of DD and was probably beside herself to be on the same bus.
** It appears this creepy guy has been around awhile in the CA system, notes from "friends" on MySpace have him in lock up 2007 and 2008. There is also a case I have found in United States District Court (of California), from 2005.

I hear you kbl, there was a remark way back when from a coworker - she claimed sb would get upset when people spoke badly of KC, saying no one knew what happened to Caylee and it wasn't fair to dump it on her mother. I really feel like there is an emotional connection there from sb.
I sure do wish we had Sunshine laws here so we could have a copy of that disk. Tori said she is pretty sure the tapped phone call was between Devil Dude and momster. I also want to take a look at the letters.
I was thinking about he trial starting in Sept and realized we are going to pass another of Emma's BDay's before the trial even starts. lil angel would have turned 3 on Sept 2.
The following is an interesting study on mothers who kill, the article was written regarding the Anthony's but there is a paragraph that applies directly to sb. The clips from the article are in italics.
The Five baseic categories that have emerged (there are more) are: Altruistic, Psychotic, Unwanted, Accidental, Revenge. Some mothers share more than one category.
Altruistic; While I don't believe Emma's murder truly to be altruistic, sb did claim the death was to prevent Emma from making the mistakes she made in life, so at some point she must have thought about this as a motive.
Unwanted; sb's new boy toy was not interested in having a ready made family.
Revenge; sb was confronted by her mother just before leaving with Emma, she was told to start acting like a mother, instead of dumping her duty to hang with boys.
While on some level I feel most people who intentionally murder a child are "mentally unbalanced" to some degree, I do not believe most of them meet the criteria of criminally insane. (not knowing right from wrong.) I don't believe an adult who holds their hand over a baby's mouth and nose can later say the death was an accident - it ticks me off in the worst way to hear these POC later say they didn't mean for it to kill the child, that would fall under the label of torture, if it were true, that makes them just as awful IMO.
In the acutely psychotic filicide, the parent kills under the influence of severe mental illness - I know not everyone agrees with this but I believe Andrea Yates and Otty Sanchez, who murdered her new born son last summer - to be truly psychotic, only someone in their league is going to get my vote.
In unwanted child filicides, the murder occurs because the parent no longer desires the child for non-psychotic reasons such as illegitimacy or uncertain paternity; the child is in the way of personal ambitions; and sometimes consider this a "too late abortion" with the child being either male or female, and the death age to be under two.
I guess this includes sb in her desire to have a boyfriend and come and go as she pleased. It is very low on the scale of what most people would consider an ambition, each to their own?
I would say it makes Emma's death that much more tragic.

Bump for Miss Emma.
One week left until July 26, we are watching Emma.
bumping for you lil one. justice soon *love*
Bump today is Monday July 26, 2010. Here for Emma and waiting.
The hearing scheduled for yesterday, 7/26 was delayed - The court is now in need of some information from DD - Mr Erin Sutton. Mr Sutton will be in Judge Zacky's court on Aug 11 to answer some questions....
No telling what Mr Sutton has to share at this point but we should all know shortly.
Little Emma's momster mouthed an "I love you to BB" - while being returned to the holding cell. Two 90 minute rides to the court and back to the jail - all for a two minute hearing. Thank goodness sb is jailed in America, where her rights are so much more important than her daughters' right to breathe.

I just wanted to say thank you for keeping us updated!! Without your wonderful reporting, I would never know if we get Justice for Emma!
Who is Mr. Sutton? I don't remember him being mentioned before. I'm sure he probably was and I don't remember it. Why is he important enough to hold up the case? I thought Judge Zackey was determined to keep things moving?
What is with the boyfriend hanging on? They weren't together that long before her arrest. Why is he even attending these court hearings? I find that very strange. Could it be he feels guilty for telling her he didn't want kids and feels partially responsible?
He is, but this maybe important, the next hearing is 8/11, this is not another postponement yet.... and as long as this is nothing but one crazy talking to another crazy - I hope there is no postponing -
Judge Z needs to find out what these two fools talked about! And if they were both in lockup how did they have a phone conversation???
Dager (I just discovered) also claims to be needing time to interview more witnesses - sb has been locked up for 15 mos - he could have interviewed the whole AV by now - I hope he is done 'pdq' - Zacky can tell him he has had enough time (let's hope he does just that if Dager claims not to be ready)
Mr Sutton AKA Devil Dude.(From hearing 7/02) Cromer hands Dager a disc. She says there's a wire tap conversation on the disc ( it isn't clear whose line was tapped) there are also taped phone calls the defendant made and (most interesting IMO) are letters she has exchanged with an inmate Sutton. Judge Zackey asks, "Is that the Erin Sutton who was in my courtroom?" Cromer, Dager and another attorney (unidentified) all respond, " Yes it is your honor." Judge Zackey looks puzzled and maybe a bit shocked when he finds out it was the same guy. (Evidently he didn't make the connection at the last hearing when this was mentioned.)
Two jailed "innocents" remember sb calls Emma's death "an accident" - Mr Sutton who is jailed on robbery charges, but claims his trial was over lies of a convicted child molester offering private guitar lessons to his daughter.
DD Has a blog - the following was from 12/07
The second was 12/08 with pretrial starting 1/09(snipped) I am not in Slumber (dead) I have been removed from the freedom I adore by the FALSE accusations of my Guitar Intructor/Betraying Friend who turned out to be a CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER! I now sit here within the belly of this Beast fighting my case. Your thoughts and letters are indeed welcome!
He had a message I can no longer find that was dated April '09 'It has been decided, if you are a friend send me a PM I'll give you the details.' This is not exact quote it is as close as I remember. Last access was 11/09(snipped) The first trial resulted in a Hung Jury for the falsely accused father in which his accuser, the CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER: Wilson, was impeached & proven to be a liar several times while testifying under oath! As was another so-called witness for the prosecution...who also admitted to being on drugs at the time!
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT for Mr. Sutton, his daughter and for Real Justice! Show your disgust at a perverts ability to pervert justice by showing up and attending Round TWO in this families fight for FREEDOM & HEALING in what is a sad and twisted situation that MUST be made RIGHT!!!
sb was arrested in April 2009....
BB has been to every hearing! It appears from his MySpace this has really effected him. I cringe every time she acknowledges him, I wonder if he does too?Originally Posted by Belinda >What is with the boyfriend hanging on? They weren't together that long before her arrest. Why is he even attending these court hearings? I find that very strange. Could it be he feels guilty for telling her he didn't want kids and feels partially responsible?
From what it appears BB and sb had been dating a few months - he was completely up front in his desire to be childless (at least for the time being) including with his LE interview. His parents know sb and didn't approve of their relationship.
Yes, I think BB feels guilty - the rumor mill has always said she murdered Emma to keep him or to be able to spend more time with him.
LE claims to know her motive, the only one they have said out loud was sb not wanting Emma to grow up and be like her - pregnant too young and not have the freedom to do her own thing because of being stuck living with parents. (spoken like a truly loving momster)
Thank you my WS family for everything you do, everyday. You are loved and appreciated.

So a hearing or so ago I commented on the other site where the gals and I chat - questioning whether this witch ever thinks about her her baby - about the life she stole and the lives she has ruined and ended it with I bet her family does.
Last week I received the following reply
Well my girls did not let me down - but since she called me out and T has verified this is a relative who shows and glares I gave her an answer of my own:Auntie (not verified)
at 10:58 on August 5th, 2010
Yes. We think of Emma every day. She is my great niece and Stacey is my niece. You people have no respect for our family. You think all of this matters or helps! Stop for a moment and think of how you would be feeling if it were you? We love them both and our hearts broken at the loss we have had, but all you can do is shovel judgment. Well it doesn't bring Emma back or the truth forward. The DA has nothing on Stacey, that's why they offered a convicted person like Aaron to try and get evidence and it turns up nill! But he gets 18 years off of his sentence??? There's justice at work. You are only hurting us more...
at 10:47 on August 9th, 2010
I'm sorry you feel we have disrespected your family and if this happened in my family - I too would be crushed and devastated beyond words - if I worded the post above your comment poorly, for that I apologize to you and any other member of your family.
My question was aimed at your niece - does she care what she has done to you and her family? She sure doesn't act like it - between whispered "I love you's" and walking into court made up like she was on a date. She is the one you should be talking to about respect. Not those of us who shake our head in disgust over her behavior.
I believe we have tried to be as respectful of your family as possible under these circumstances - and have refrained from uttering words meant to harm them - because we feel such pain over your loss. It is sadly my opinion that Emma's mother doesn't share that pain. BBB, T, KF (and those who can no longer post here) thank you all for caring enough about Emma to be here for her.
It is not judgement we seek - that is for the courts. All we are looking for is JUSTICE FOR EMMA!
So she added this in regards to my question about who wanted to question Mr Sutton - the judge?
So It was explained to her that we didn't believe a word of it - and T said in spite of his tats not to judge a book by it's cover. Also answering a question about the tat design:Auntie (not verified)
at 15:03 on August 5th, 2010
The answer to your question is Sutton was a plant by the DA on the bus. The intent was to extract some sort of information regarding Emma's death. He was convicted and sentenced to 26 years, for some sort of child molestation. He was offered a deal (and was found guilty bgy his peers of his crime) to get a lesser sentence if he befriended Stacey. So there you have it. Let's talk about the DA making a deal like that to cover her week case on Stacey.
Now we are being accused of backing a child molester - I can only imagine who gave them that wrong information:Uncle (not verified)
at 16:40 on August 5th, 2010
Ok let me get this right, Convicted child molestor - claimed he did not do it. Mother suspected of murder - claimed she did not do it. You don't want to judge a book by it's cover, except for Stacey. I am forever at a loss due to the loss of our sweet Emma, our lives will never be the same. And I am willing to let our justice system work because I was not there and that is what civilized people do. You all seem to be willing to play judge and jury with the convicted child molestor and the mom. (you're not alone seems like a common pastime for many) Hope your right about that guy, I would'nt want any more children molested. Remember it's innocent untill proven guilty. I am greatful that you care about what you know about Emma. She is a beautiful baby that now knows no pain. I look forward to seeing her someday in heaven. respectfully. uncle
at 10:05 on August 9th, 2010
Auntie and Uncle; there is not a person who has written, commented, recommended or pushed to the front page - a single word about the loss your family has suffered - without at some point early on, and off n on ever since, commenting on our great sorrow for your pain. No one here has uttered a single word disparaging your family and we have all repeatedly commented on the great sorrow we feel for what this has done to everyone who loved little Emma, especially her family.
If this hurts you, before you lash out at the messenger - please remember the source, the acts that brought us to this point. I can guarantee it isn't something one of the writers or supporters here are guilty of doing. If this adds to your pain - from the bottom of my heart - I am so sorry, that is not our intention, all we want is to see justice for Emma - if you don't have the same goal, I would suggest you stop reading here, if you must - because we are not going to go away until we know the guilty party is convicted - if that isn't Stacy - I'd suggest you tell her she needs to speak up - because going to jail for a crime she didn't commit makes no sense and to the best of my knowledge Stacy left home with Emma, Emma didn't return. Stacy told LE where to find Emma's body - after she dumped her along side I - 10. If you believe the DA has such a weak case - there's no time like the present to fill in any missing information.
Presumption of innocence is a great thing the courts in this country up hold - we here don't answer to the courts - but neither do we intentionally print lies. Of course if the courts really thought the accused was innocent, they wouldn't be on trial - they must with hold judgement ie; punishment - until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
I for one believe your nieces' own words, spoken to (and recorded by) the LASD are a very strong piece of evidence. Mostly the part where she claimed to hold her hand over little Emma's mouth and nose, until Emma stopped struggling, her little arms dropped to her side - this would have been the point where someone who accidently caused a baby to stop breathing, called 911 - but that never happened. Instead, 18 hours later - after she was deemed healthy by the local ER - Stacy told LEO's where she disposed of lil' Emma's body - after officers, had spent all night searching for Emma - in spite of Stacy's ever changing (ridiculous) stories and fears that Emma was not taken by kidnappers, in spite of the fact LAPD was not paying their officers overtime, in spite of the fact that many of those officers have children of their own who needed them at home. They spent all night - 12 hours looking for a lil angel whose mother left her in a field of weeds, like so much trash. Do you think we haven't cried buckets of tears for Emma?
Erin Sutton, according to the Superior Court of CA in LA Co - claims he is in jail for robbery. Sutton claims he is jailed - looking at a life sentence (maybe 25 to life?) - due to the lies of a former friend who he discovered is a convicted sex offender and who offered to give his 12 yr old daughter private guitar lessons. Nowhere is it written that Sutton is accused of a sex crime. Neither has the state of CA said he is involved in sex a crime - if it comes out on the 11th that he is and the state offered him a deal - you can bet your life we will have a letter writing campaign and phone tree the likes you have never seen!! But honestly I'll be surprised if that happens, as I will be surprised if the state offered him a deal as a secret agent man! That only happens in the movies.
I'm not saying he didn't try to act like one, if you pay attention to the news out of FL - there are several "young women"aka inmates, who thought they could either get a break on their long sentences or a great deal of money, by selling Casey Anthony "secret stories" - one may even be charged for illegal phone calls she made that were forwarded to numbers she wasn't supposed to contact - just say'en.
All of us have children in our lives, many of us have lost a child to a crime - have worked with victims or have families members in social service or law enforcement. All of us wish this crime and all the others against precious babies never happened - but until that time - until so called parents, boyfriends/girlfriends or perverts stop stealing away the lives of precious gifts entrusted to them - we are going to be there, to see justice - that's our right!
Thank you my WS family for everything you do, everyday. You are loved and appreciated.

LCoastMom! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for aswering for us. It breaks my heart that the aunt and uncle are so upset. The Websleuth forum is victim friendly. Tricia DOES NOT allow members to speak ill of victims family and I know for a fact NO ONE on this forum ever has. I wonder if they are clumping us in with the "other" sites around that name call and such.
I have NEVER doubted that Emma was adored by every one who had the fortune of knowing her. I just wish that Stacey had felt the same way.
Emma's family members are still grieving and they NEED to be able to be mad at someone until the time comes when it's safe for them to feel anger towards the one who caused their heartbreak. I don't mind playing scapegoat for a while if it helps with the grieving process. I continue to keep them in my many prayers.
I cannot fathom what it would be like to love someone who killed someone you love. I would be in denial for as long as I could. Nor can I fathom the fear that Emma felt as she was aware that it was her mom who was preventing her from breathing. She is an angel that deserves justice and I pray she receives it. I also pray that Stacey will do right by her family and plead guilty for what she did so they can start to accept and heal.
To Emma's Aunt and Uncle, if you are reading these words, please know I am so very sorry for the horrible loss you suffered.
Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean.
We are all just trying to make sense of an unimaginable crime.
Lovejac, this happened at NP - the day of a hearing that sb attended with her hair done and in full makeup - she entered the courtroom looking like she had a date - smiling at BB being cute and coy - it made me angry for her to bounce in like she was all that - I asked just as I said - "does she think about what she did and who she hurt - I'll bet her family does."
Causing Auntie to become angry and lash out - then to reply to my question - did Judge Z want to question Erin Sutton or who?
The answer is the public defender, Dager! He wants to know who else has "made a deal with Sutton"! There were no such comments in court the DA handed over a recored PHONE conversation - so far the DA has said nothing except that she knows sb had a conversation on the bus with IES - who is charged with felony robbery - nothing else.
So when Tori explained Sutton is in for robbery, not child molesting, Uncle got in on the act, someone really told them some wild stories about Sutton - at least he replied that he appreciated our caring for Emma...
Interesting - I received a comment from Katfish to which I replied almost word for word as yours - as I said, I do understand they cannot lash out at sb - and we are convenient - I do care about their pain and mean that from the bottom of my heart. We have not tried to hurt them or make them feel worse than they already do - I have not and will not lash out at the family, have never said a bad word about the family. All I have ever commented in regards to any of them (except sb) is how very sorry I am for their pain and loss (which I believe is the same as others have said).
I cannot imagine what they are are going through and they weren't at the prelim, so they may not have heard what sb said to Det Nava.
But I also believe it is our right to sit in the court room and write about what transpires while we are there. Not to cause the family pain, but to see that there is Justice for Emma.
Thank you my WS family for everything you do, everyday. You are loved and appreciated.

Dimanche 27 mai
Alcohol and work do not mix, we all know, when it comes to know that with my colleagues, especially colleagues who lust after drinking the mixture tends to be catastrophic. that an older woman, married had believed for some time. He was always well dressed, attractive and friendly. in one of the office birthday drank together at lunch and I was more than generous with my praise. However, we have a normal lunch for some time and had drunk too much to maintain control. I entered the elevator in the back, and she asked me if I meant what I said to her. I wanktube confirmed that I and a few others, and she came over and started kissing me. when we separate from the kiss, she said she had made me quite some time, and we must do something about it. we parted, our different departments, such as the elevator arrived, and my head was spinning. What to do and how. would have to work, and pushed back his planhow it works. An hour later the lady came to my office, closed the door and pulled a bunch of files on my desktop. came and stood beside me and put a hand on my neck. Pure power. He leaned forward and I could smell her perfume tenuous. As I explained what the files were wanktube in the process, his head was so close to me, as it could without touching them. A then said it was enough of the bull, you know why I'm here so let's do. started kissing me and I tried to get up. Then he rubbed his hand on my wanktube lap and started my cock. I grabbed her left breast and began to gently caress with one hand and slid wanktube her free hand on the back of your legs. I rubbed my hand around her pussy and ass, and she helped me up. For both hands, without the obstruction caused clothes, pulled his pants and underpants and rubbed each other with passion. You deserve much better than a quickie in the table, but there is a riskwith every second, and now we were too far gone to stop. to put it back on my desk, spread her legs got right precious and pulsating penis on her lips. I rubbed up and down for a few strokes and slid my cock all the way were beautiful, very wet, tight and muscular. Allow absolute freedom took a few minutes and I think because of erotic relationships, our two cum just flowed together. was a real pleasure, but so good. Fuck someone in your desk should have coveted the sexiest way down. When finished, she rose and adjusted her dress, hugged me, kissed me again, turned and left my office to say that I have the files wanktube again, at any time. tell you what he did and when.

Philosophy's Classic Fudge Cake is probably the richest, high foaming Philosophy 3-in-1 that I own. The scent is extremely rich, just like a real fudge cake. Creating a successful fudge/chocolate scent in a skincare product is extremely difficult to do, but Philosophy has mastered it, as this does not smell cheap and/or fake. Would definitely recommend, especially for the winter months!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I simply had to buy this after smelling it, it's simply delicious!
I have only used it as a shower gel and in a bubble bath, and it left my skin very smooth and with a mild but distinctive fudge smell.
More reviews by macismycrack627
Smells just like brownie or chocolate cake batter. I find that the scent does linger on my skin and in my hair. I was actually surprised at what a good shampoo it is. It has a nice lather and doesn't strip my hair at all. I use it as a bubble bath and body wash too... great stuff! My mom bought it for me for Easter after we smelled it in Sephora and just had to have it! Haha.

Wow!! This stuff is pure decadence!!! This is my first encounter with Philosophy products, but certainly not the last. I can't believe how close to real fudge chocolate this smells like!! Leaves my skin soft and lathers really well. The smell doesn't linger quite as long as BBW products, but amazing still nonetheless. The smell is pure heaven to me, I will continue to use for a long time!
This is the first Philosophy product I have used and I am in love! I use if for all three and can't believe how great it is as a shampoo! It smells great and it leaves my skin and hair so soft. I will buy more of these for sure! They rock!!!!
More reviews by sammycansing01
Philosophy has the best products EVER!! Especially the Class Fudge Cake. It's a bubble bath, shower gel, AND shampoo!! I use it as a bubble bath and shower gel. The smell of this product is beautiful!! I can just eat it literally. What is so cool is that you can make the classic fudge cake because there is directions on the front of the bottle on how you make it!! The price should be shorten by a few dollars but anyways, this product blows me away!
This smells amazing - just like chocolate fudge cake (go figure :p). The smell lasts right up until you start lathering it up, then it quickly fades to a weird plastic chocolate smell, then there is no smell at all anymore just as quickly. My husband stood in the shower and couldn't tell I was using anything scented either. But I can live with this, because of how soft it makes my skin (like all of philosophy's gels). I would buy this again,

Delicious Non-artificial chocolate fudge smell. I want to eat the shower gel. It smells like chocolate icing. It also lingers in the bathroom after you are done your shower :) My fave Philosophy shower gel :)
Wow! This smells just like chocolate frosting! The only downside to using this is it makes me hungry for chocolate! This one is a keeper!

When the Jacksonville Jaguars came to CenturyLink Field as a nineteen-and-half point underdog last Sunday, it gave me pause to reflect on Seahawks teams of the past that had held such high expectations. I really couldn't remember a time. Although quite frequently when the team seemed to be doing well, they would proceed to lay an egg in games such as this. Frequently called "playing down to the opponent," the franchise had a history of doing just that.
Until the second half of 2012.
So as I took my seat Sunday afternoon, I was fully expecting to see total domination from start to finish. The Seahawks did not disappoint.
The offense was more than able to hold up their end of the bargain, with
Man, I love this team!

Match Preview
Villas-Boas plays down talk of job for life Andre Villas-Boas has played down talk he could stay at Chelsea for the rest of his career, admitting he had expected to be at Porto for many years. Blues chairman Bruce Buck last week declared the club may finally have found their Sir Alex Ferguson figure in Villas-Boas, claiming the 33-year-old could end up staying at Stamford Bridge for 15 years. That is the maximum time Villas-Boas plans to spend in his current profession and, with the Portuguese on Friday celebrating the second anniversary of his entry into management, he was making no predictions about what the future might hold. "It's the 14th October, which is the day I started at Academica," said the precocious Villas-Boas, who is preparing for Saturday`s Barclays Premier League clash at home to Everton. "I have this idea of not being in the game for a long period of time. "Bruce's words weren't said to collide with my words, on my future, but I really don't know what will happen." Villas-Boas is Chelsea's seventh manager in the eight years since Roman Abramovich bought the club, with the Russian ruthlessly dispensing of those he deemed to have failed in the job. Buck last week gave Villas-Boas a ringing endorsement, revealing Abramovich was particularly pleased with the attractive brand of football the new manager was beginning to implement. But Buck also seemed to acknowledge success had to follow if the Portuguese was not to suffer the same fate as most of his predecessors. Villas-Boas said: "A longer or shorter stay can or cannot be related to success. "Last year, I went through the same (at Porto). "We won four trophies and my emotions told me I'd be there a long time. But now I'm here." The short-term goal is to cut the gap to Manchester United and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Providing Chelsea win their next two games, they will achieve that, with the Manchester derby coming up a week on Sunday. They might even move level on points on Saturday, with United travelling to Liverpool and City hosting Aston Villa before Villas-Boas' men take on the Toffees. "If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen," Villas-Boas said. "In the next two weeks, there are two weeks of Premier League contenders playing against each other, so the others have to make the most of it. "We'll have difficult games in Everton and QPR, but we will try to get six points." Overcoming Everton will be easier said than done, with David Moyes' men having made themselves Chelsea's bogey team in recent years. Carlo Ancelotti never managed to beat them in his two-year stint, while the Merseyside club are undefeated on their last five Premier League visits to Stamford Bridge. Predicting a "battle", Villas-Boas said: "They are in a good situation and, once again, they are proving that David Moyes' work is something fantastic. "Even with all the difficult financial problems they have, it's a club that's well organised and should make the English public proud." David Luiz could be rested having only returned to the club on Thursday after playing a full 90 minutes twice for Brazil in the past week. Fernando Torres serves the second instalment of his three-match ban. Everton manager Moyes will run the rule over a number of players including Tim Cahill, who withdrew from the Australia squad during the international break, John Heitinga and Leon Osman. Jack Rodwell should be available after his red card against Liverpool was rescinded, although the midfielder then sat out England Under-21s' match in Norway as a precaution and will have his condition assessed. Moyes was pleased to see Rodwell's red card reversed - but admits it was of little consolation. Rodwell was sent off by referee Martin Atkinson in the 23rd minute of the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on October 1 for an innocuous-looking challenge on Luis Suarez. The Toffees were subsequently beaten 2-0, with Moyes left fuming at Atkinson's decision, which he felt had "ruined the game". The Football Association last week upheld Everton's formal appeal but while Moyes was glad with that outcome, he has stressed that no amount of support for his view that Atkinson got it wrong will make up for what happened during the match. "It is pleasing and it was correct - the right decision was made (by the FA)," Moyes said. "We've tried to move on from it, but obviously it is still very much on our mind. "It was a big derby game and we wanted to try to win it if we could, but that was hindered. "The hardest thing is that every single person I meet in the street comes up and says 'it was the worst decision I've ever seen."' end

Match Report
Blues claim comfortable Everton win Chelsea showed there really might be no place like home as they finally ended their Everton hoodoo with a 3-1 victory to maintain their 100% record at Stamford Bridge this season. The Blues' recent results against Everton on their own ground might have been reason enough for them to want to move to a new stadium, but they swept to their first victory over their bogey side since the 2009 FA Cup final. Everton had also not lost on their previous five league visits to Stamford Bridge, although they had not had to contend with Juan Mata, who was Chelsea's inspiration. The Spain winger started the move that broke the deadlock - Daniel Sturridge nodding home his fourth goal of the season - and laid on the third for Ramires after John Terry scored on his 350th Premier League appearance. There was to be no clean sheet for the Chelsea captain, with Apostolos Vellios grabbing a late consolation with his first touch after coming off the bench. The win nevertheless saw Andre Villas-Boas' men capitalise on Manchester United's draw at Liverpool and put them back within three points of new leaders Manchester City. It was Chelsea's first match since they announced their bid to buy back the freehold of Stamford Bridge, which they sold to a supporter-led group - Chelsea Pitch Owners - in the 1990s. Opponents of their proposal, which has been seen as a precursor to a move to a new stadium, distributed leaflets before the game in the hope of rallying support. The visitors might have been tempted to back the `Say No CPO' campaign themselves so impressive was their record at Stamford Bridge, and they looked set to extend it in the opening half hour as Chelsea toiled. Didier Drogba almost played Ramires clean through but Sylvain Distin intervened, while Everton showed their threat on the break when Louis Saha fired straight at Petr Cech. Marouane Fellaini was booked for catching Ramires in the 16th minute but he might have given the otherwise well-drilled visitors the lead five minutes later, a heavy touch allowing John Obi Mikel to intercept. Chelsea were crying out for some inspiration and when it finally arrived in the 31st minute, the source was no surprise. Mata brilliantly picked out Ashley Cole's surge into the box and the left-back stood up a first-time cross which Sturridge simply could not fail to nod into the net. Everton continued to look more than capable of scoring themselves, but were undone again in first-half stoppage-time when Seamus Coleman fouled Cole and Terry beat Tim Howard to nod home Frank Lampard's free-kick. Leon Osman almost pulled a goal back straight after the restart with a shot that shaved the outside of the post, but with the comfort of a two-goal lead, Chelsea soon began putting together some lovely passages of play. Drogba inexplicably stopped running when Jose Bosingwa looked set to put the ball on a plate for the striker and although Osman drilled over, Everton boss David Moyes decided to act, withdrawing Coleman for Royston Drenthe just past the hour mark. No sooner had he done so and it was game over, a sweeping Chelsea move seeing Mata exchange passes with Drogba before sending in a low cross which was inch-perfect for Ramires to slide home. Ramires appeared to hurt himself beating two defenders to the ball and had to be helped from the field after the restart, with Florent Malouda coming on. Sturridge was then controversially booked for diving when challenged by Drenthe, the striker open-mouthed in disbelief at the verdict. Everton brought on club captain Phil Neville for Cahill and Chelsea responded soon after by withdrawing Mikel and the outstanding Mata for Oriol Romeu and Nicolas Anelka. The Blues were in cruise control but were denied their first clean sheet since the opening day of the league season when Moyes threw on Vellios for Saha nine minutes from time and watched the substitute immediately slide home Drenthe's cross. It was merely a consolation and Lampard might have made it 4-1 in stoppage-time when he volleyed Drogba's chest down straight at Howard.

Elton John and Eric Clapton in Bologna, Italy. Those Italians sure LOVED them some Elton! Practically booed Clapton off the stage though. Shocking.
I did!! I loved them so much that I saw them twice. They were part of my first concert ever and then I saw them in college as well. I even had a stray cats bandana from that first show. it was awesome.

For those of you who are working right up until the Holidays- I sympathize. For those of you who work retail, hospital shifts, night jobs, or more than one job- I really sympathize.
If you're a working foodie- this time of year can be really tough to channel your inner Kitchen Diva, work, be attentive to family and friends, and take care of yourself… I know. I'm right there in the trenches with you this year… Happily, sales of my GF Pie Crust are out of control…I'm excited…but that also leaves little time for much else..blogging? Recipe development? Photography? Housecleaning??!!!?? Thankfully (or not-so-thankfully, depending on how you look at it) a malfunctioning mixer and a delay in an ingredient order left me with time to catch up on some much needed kitchen activity.
I am not hosting dinner this year..But, I still intend to eat well with a few friends and play in someone else's kitchen. What's on our menu? Easy stuff. Stuff I'm making tomorrow with the Kitchen Divas in Training so I can sleep in on Turkey Day and loll about in my pajamas taking in the Macy's Parade with the girls while sipping a mimosa and enjoying a gluten-free scone! So what's on the dinner menu??
- Duck Confit (already made, you can check out the pics on our Facebook Page)
- Smoked Chicken Liver Pate w/ Gluten Free Baguettes
- Baby potatoes roasted in duck fat and truffle salt (pop in the oven at 400 and cook stirring occasionally until done)
- Fresh Cranberry Pear Salad (Recipe Below- only 20 min to make and seriously delicious)
- Roasted Brussels (Check out our Adventuresome Kitchen Recipe with Mint Sauce)
- Roast Duck or Goose (we're channeling our Pilgrim roots and dispensing with the Turkey (but I'm not making that!!)
- Gluten Free Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie (Easy, No Bake, and all the Pumpkin Pie Flavors you love- Recipe Below)
Now that might seem pretty ambitious to some of you- but here's the deal: With the exception of the baguettes which are a little more involved, everything else listed above is 10-15 minutes of prep and into the oven, or can be completely made in 20 minutes or less… My kind of food these days.. All of it can be made now or on Thanksgiving and still taste great. My point? Even if you're crazy busy this year and the thought of cooking makes you want to take a nap…pick one or two fast, easy recipes and eat well. Your tastebuds will be the first to Thank you!!
- 8 oz package of fresh cranberries (use more if you like)
- 25 oz jar or can of pear halves in juice (if you can only find pears in syrup, omit the sugar and add as needed)

- 1/4-1/3 cup white sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)

- 1/4 cup sugar or maple syrup
- 2 tbs Cinnamon

- 1 tbs sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)

- sprinkle nuts with sugar and spices
- Cook for 15 minutes at 375- stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and you can smell the spices

- When Ice Cream is ready (ie it is soft enough to work with), spoon it into the pie shell (if you made the ice cream above, you will have extra)

- Garnish with Maple Bourbon Whipped cream and grate a bit of fresh nutmeg over the top.
- Enjoy- and don't forget to put the pie back in the freezer!!
