CrockPot Cherries Jubilee
Day 349.
I am still having photo uploading issues. I'm working on it, and fingers are crossed that in a few hours everything will be good to go.
I wasn't planning on making Cherries Jubilee yesterday, but the kids and I were watching a Paula Deen episode and she made some. Adam was already at the grocery store (buying duck! ack!) so we called him and had him bring home some canned cherries. It's a good thing, too, because the ducks were so frozen they bounced on the kitchen counter.
The Ingredients.
2 T butter, melted
1 T cornstarch
2 (15-ounce) cans pitted black cherries in heavy syrup, but NOT pie filling
2 T white sugar
1/4 tsp lemon zest
1/4 cup brandy (optional)
vanilla ice cream
The Directions.
I used a 1 quart crockpot. Melt butter in the microwave, and whisk in cornstarch until it's completely dissolved. Drain cans of cherries, and add to crockpot. Pour in cornstarch mixture. Add sugar and lemon zest. No need to stir. If you're going to add the brandy, do so now.
Cook on high for 2 hours, and serve hot over vanilla ice cream. Paula lit her cherries jubilee on fire to burn off the alcohol. I tried to do that, but it didn't work, and I ended up getting cherry juice all over my long wand-lighter thingy and now it doesn't ignite. I wouldn't put the brandy in if you are going to serve to small children.
The Verdict.
This was a fun dessert. I made two batches, one with and one without the brandy. The brandy one tastes like it has brandy in it, and I liked the plain one better. I wish the fire part would have worked, that would have been cool.
I'm off to skin a duck.

Now, how often can you say, "I'm off to skin a duck?"
What a fun recipe! I agree, the fire would have been a nice touch. :-)

Oh, I have to try this! It reminds me of the book 'Dealing with Dragons.' Cherry Jubilee was Kazul (one of the dragons) favorite dessert.

I've heard my gramma say "slicker than the skin of duck"
How cool would it have been to light yoru food on fire, that's not something to one does everyday.

Love your blog... I've never used my crockpot so much before this year! On the cherries jubilee, I think if you want to flambe, you don't add the brandy until the end. Warm it up, pour it in, light it on fire.

Are we looking forward to a duck a la crockpot recipe for tomorrow?

Mmmm, that sounds good. I watch your blog, but don't always comment. Now, you're sure it's not pie cherries? I already have some frozen black cherries from our tree, so I'm going to have to give it a try. Karen

Paula Deen always forgets to show the correct way to flame alcohol. If you pour some into a metal ladle then light it, then pour it into the dish to be flamed. It makes it much easier!
- December 14, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Oh, Bad for Duck but Hoorah for your Hubby! Sounds likes the ultimate Christmas Dinner! Unless you have 2....don't waste it! YOU ARE ALMOST DONE! Love, Cindylepp (from allrecipes.com) in Kentucky!

I had to laugh when I read your blog this a.m.! I watched saw the Paula Deen show to and told my hubby that I was going to make the cherries jubilee too this week..looks delish in the crockpot!

- Valorie Jay said...
If you want to light the brandy, you must add it after cooking. Cooking will evaporate the alcohol from the brandy.

I have to tell you, I just found your blog last weekend, and I have been skimming through constantly. So far I've made 2 different recipes (Dijon & Maple syrup Chicken with sweet potatoes and the Black Bean soup) and I've also, thanks to you, had the desire to make 2 other crock pot recipes... all in one week. (crock pot oatmeal and the bean soup medley from Trader Joes.)
My Mom and I are both huge crock pot fans, and we always love new recipes. If you're up for a new one, let me know and I'll write it up for you. Its a pot roast recipe but delicious!
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!

Hey There-- Where do you buy your cherries? They look like Costco cans, but I haven't seen them in the store before. Thanks!

Hi Girl Fisher,
Adam bought them at a local store, Lunardis, in the canned fruit section.

@Nicol, sounds good to me! :-)
- December 26, 2011 at 9:58 AM
I didn't read the note above regarding the anonymous comments. So I'll repost. Didn't one of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles books have the recipe for cherry jubilee? Exactly the way the dragon, Kazul like it.
- January 2, 2012 at 2:46 PM
When I made this the first time, I didn't get the fire effect either. I think it was due to my mixing in the brandy with everything else. I also think that if I let it "pool" in the mixture, then lit it, I not only would have gotten the fire effect, I would've had a substantially less alcohol taste.

- Susanna Randolph said...
Can I flambé while it is in the crock pot, or will it damage it?
- September 19, 2015 at 10:09 AM
- Stephanie ODea said...
Hi Susanna, I used a barbecue lighter right in the ceramic insert --- I'd recommend removing the insert from the cooking element and keeping the flame far away from the cord, etc.

Read: Mike Rupp Is An Awesome Guy
According to Pittsburgh TV Station WPXI, there was a game this past season where Mike Rupp crashed into the boards during warmups and caused a fan to spill his $10 beer.
Rupp told the Penguins trainer to go into the locker room to get $10 out of his wallet so that Rupp could tape it to a puck, sign the puck, and then flip the puck and money over the boards so that the guy didn't have to spend his own money to buy a new beer.
Rupp was one of the most popular players in the Penguins locker room last season.
He is gonna fit in perfectly with this team. He seems to have the right demeanor, at least judging by his twitter, and knows his role and what the coach wants from him. The potential line of Brandon Prust, Brian Boyle and Rupp, the PBR line, is going to be one that we are going to love seeing out on the ice.
I predict that Rupp is a regular guest of Al Trautwig during the intermissions and a regular during the post-game show.

ogg2mp3.pl will do the trick.
If you can't find it, let me know, and I'll post it.
I have for some time tried using OGG only for audio, and about three years ago converted my entire archive from MP3/WMA to OGG. But now I need to convert to MP3. Are there any scripts or tools that can do this for me? I remember that there was some perl script to do MP3 to OGG. Is there one for going the other way?
ogg2mp3.pl will do the trick.
If you can't find it, let me know, and I'll post it.
not the most elagant - won't save ids info, but the output is an mp3 from an ogg vorbis.
Code:#!/bin/bash for i in *.ogg do name=$(echo $i|sed 's/\.ogg$//') ogg123 -d wav -f "$name.wav" "$i" lame -q 6 "$name.wav" "$name.mp3" rm "$name.wav" done
Thanks Paul. I will see how to keep the ID3 info and add that and let y'all know what the result is. Linspire's LSongs may be able to do that, but I would rather not risk it since most are done right as we speak. I have ALOT and dont want to redo them all.
Just a side note. MP3 is a lossy codec, and so is Ogg. When you convert from wav to ogg, you lose quality. Similarly, when you convert from wav to mp3 you lose quality. There's no way for mp3s to be directly translated into ogg files; the encoding schemes are entirely different. So, to convert between mp3 and ogg, a wav (or flac or apple lossless or whatever lossless format you're using) is first created, and the song is re-encoded. So when you convert from mp3->ogg, you lose quality. Similarly, when you convert back from ogg->mp3, you lose more quality still. You can never get this loss of quality back, so I'd recommend you choose a format and stick with it.

CANTON A state Supreme Court ruling prohibits a South Colton man from marketing seizure dogs he claimed were trained to alert their owners to oncoming seizures.
The state attorney generals office released a statement heralding the decision against Jon C. Sabin and Seizure Alert Dogs for Life Inc., calling Mr. Sabins business a sham.
An angry Mr. Sabin responded that the Tuesday ruling by St. Lawrence County state Supreme Court Justice David R. Demarest is garbage, and vowed to take his fight to the highest court in the land.
You know where this is going? The United States Supreme Court, Mr. Sabin said Wednesday evening.
Judge Demarest on Tuesday issued permanent injunctions prohibiting Mr. Sabin and his company from advertising or selling dogs as trained to respond to or assist people suffering from epilepsy or other medical conditions.
Mr. Sabin began selling seizure dogs in 2009.
Even without specifying his training techniques, Sabin has not disclosed the number of hours each dog receives, nor the general types of training he performs, the judge wrote.
Mr. Sabin, who has been acting as his own attorney, said that Assistant Attorney General Deanna R. Nelson, who prosecuted the case, blocked his communication with the court, lied about customers experiences with the dogs and prevented him from presenting evidence and witnesses that would demonstrate the dogs efficacy.
Im a sham? Do you want to know what she is? Shes a lawyer, Mr. Sabin shouted during a telephone interview. He later emailed to say he was going to sue Ms. Nelsons office for libel due to extrajudicial statement for releasing a statement to the press.
While it is Sabins representation that the attorney general has lied to the court in this special proceeding, the petition is supported by numerous affidavits of individuals who state that the dogs are not properly trained and lack general obedience skills and temperament to function as a service dog, Judge Demarest wrote.
There was absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this man took any steps to select or train these dogs as he represented, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said in a release.
They didnt want to see it, Mr. Sabin said, claiming there was evidence about the dogs performance.
Tuesdays ruling was just the latest salvo in a battle that already has reached federal court.
Mr. Sabin and his company filed suit in September in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against Mr. Schneiderman, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Ms. Nelson, claiming his civil rights were violated under the Americans with Disabilities Act when the attorney general obtained an order barring him from running his business. He sought $75 million from the state attorney general.
In a report filed last month, Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles recommended to Judge Gary L. Sharpe, who is presiding over Mr. Sabins federal case, that any claims for damages against the state officials in their official capacity be dismissed. He wrote that federal law, under the 11th Amendment, prohibits suits in federal court brought by parties seeking monetary damages that must be paid through state funds.
Judge Peebles also recommended the dismissal of claims against the state officials in their individual capacity.
Judge Peebles did, however, recommend keeping alive Mr. Sabins request for injunctive relief which, if successful, would prevent the attorney general from enforcing state service animal laws against him and allow him to continue training dogs.
The status of that case in light of Tuesdays state Supreme Court ruling was not immediately clear.

Bad Breath on a Talk ShowMonday, January 31st, 2011
Recently, E! TV's website posted a short clip of an episode of the Dr. Oz show where Dr. Oz smells a woman's breath and clearly taken aback by it. While it is a funny scene, and no doubt embarrassing for the woman, Dr. Oz does state that bad breath may be a warning sign of something else and is no laughing matter. It is definitely true that bad breath is not something to be ignored; it may be a symptom of one or more of the following conditions:
Dry mouth and gum disease are often linked to bad breath. This is because the volatile sulfur producing compounds in our mouth that cause bad breath thrive in a dry, anaerobic environment. When our mouths are full of healthy, oxygen-rich saliva, then it is harder for the bacteria to thrive and create bad breath. The best way to avoid dry mouth is to use oral care products that don't contain alcohol (you may want to check your ingredient labels) and to keep hydrated, drinking plenty of water throughout the day. None of TheraBreath's products contain alcohol of any sort and are ideal for maintain fresh breath.

CANTON A second suspect sought in connection with a Nov. 17 ATM theft at St. Lawrence University remained at large Friday as other new details emerged in the case.
David C. Swanson, president and CEO of North Country Savings Bank, confirmed that the automated teller machine outside the Brewer Bookstore did have an alarm, but he referred questions about the device to assistant vice president Robert Polniak, the banks security officer.
Mr. Polniak declined to comment on the alarm system when contacted Friday afternoon.
Police, meanwhile, continued the hunt for suspect Joseph C. Lugo, 24, who may have fled on a motorcycle and may also be armed.
Hes on the move, Interim Canton Police Chief Victor N. Rycroft said of Mr. Lugo, who is wanted for third-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal mischief. We have an all-points bulletin out, and a warrant has been issued.
Mr. Lugo, whose address was not available, has a criminal history, Mr. Rycroft added.
Another suspect, Brandon D. Crandall, 21, of 31 Main St., Canton, was arrested Wednesday.
In the early hours of last Saturday, Mr. Lugo and Mr. Crandall allegedly entered the bookstore vestibule at 92 Park St., wrenching the 265-pound ATM from the floor and severing its cables before hauling the machine out the front door and driving off in a pickup truck.
The automated teller machine, which had been loaded with $35,000 in $20 bills, was battered and empty when police found it in a field off Sykes Road earlier this week. Its front door was scorched in spots and warped from being pried open after the lock was removed.
They dumped it in a pasture, Mr. Rycroft said. It was close and convenient.
Mr. Crandall may have had a family or personal connection to that location, Mr. Rycroft added.
Investigators recovered $17,600 in cash with the arrest of Mr. Crandall. They said they believe Mr. Lugo may have the rest of the money.
Mr. Lugo has a criminal record dating back at least five years, including a safe theft, according to Times archives.
In April 2007, Mr. Lugo was listed as a DeKalb Junction resident when he took part in the burglary of a home on Old Northerner Road, the newspaper reported.
He was arrested in Colorado in June 2007 and brought back to St. Lawrence County, pleading guilty on July 23. That September, he was sentenced to six months in jail and five years probation for third-degree burglary in connection with the theft of a safe and other items.
Before the year was out, Mr. Lugo was in trouble again. He violated his probation by driving without a license on Dec. 16, 2007, to which he admitted in an April 2008 proceeding, the paper reported.
Anyone with information about Mr. Lugos whereabouts is asked to call Canton Police at 386-4561.
Police said intelligence gathered in two other investigations helped point them toward the suspects.
Investigators were questioning Mr. Crandall in an unrelated drug case when he revealed information about the bank machine heist, Mr. Rycroft said. In addition to the ATM and cash, Mr. Crandalls arrest also led to the seizure of 1 pound of marijuana and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia.
Surveillance photos and information obtained from state troopers probing an attempted ATM robbery Nov. 10 outside Lake Placid also pointed investigators toward suspects in the Canton case, village police said.
In the early hours of Nov. 10, someone tried to torch open an NBT Bank ATM in the town of North Elba, state police at Ray Brook said Friday. No money was removed, but the machine was heavily damaged, troopers said.
North Country Savings Bank, meanwhile, has yet to install a new ATM in the bookstore vestibule after maintaining a machine there for at least a decade.
It takes a while to order, Mr. Swanson said. Were considering whether we should or not.

|At the end of each dance review a bouquet of flowers would be presented to Young from her dancers. Throughout the years, girls grew into young women and learned valuable lessons from their respected dance instructor.
Over 30 years ago a small dance studio was opened in the garage of a Price home. In this studio, girls of all ages learned the techniques of dance and the valuble lessons of hard work.
Charlotte Young began teaching dance at the age of 15. In 1964, she started her dance studio in Price where she taught students from Carbon and Emery counties how to become talented dancers.
Although dancing was the main lesson being taught in the studio, students of Young would be the first to say that they learned more than how to be performers.
Parents readily offer their praise to Young who they feel taught their daughters the valuable lesson of being prepared, dedicated and responsible.
Young was very particular about technique and always strived for excellence with her students. The dancers knew that not working hard and wasting their time in class was not an option.
Another principal she tried to teach her students was the importance of being prepared. Young would tell the students, "being unprepared makes everything miserable and frightening, but being prepared makes every experience in life enjoyable and fun."
The students were always well prepared and the audience could see that the dancers felt pride in their accomplishments whenever they performed.
Young's dance students have participated in several events throughout the years including International Days, county fairs, fundraisers, school productions, and the Olympics.
Although Young is closing the doors to her dance studio, the lessons she taught will live on in the lives of all those young ladies who participated in her school.

Both classified documents and background statements by American and Middle Eastern officials confirm that most of the weapons sent to rebel forces in Syria are going to Islamic jihadists, according to a report in Monday's New York Times.
The jihadist elements among the forces fighting to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad have raised doubts about the U.S. role of providing intelligence and logistics support for arms shipments to Syrian rebels, arranged by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Washington's goal has been to help secular democratic groups overthrow the dictatorial regime and establish a democratic government friendly to the United States and its allies. Instead, the supply of arms may be "sowing the seeds of future insurgencies hostile to the United States," the Times noted.
Such a development would hardly be novel. During the 1980s, the United States supplied weapons to Saddam Hussein and to Afghans battling the Soviet invaders of their land. Then Saddam became the menace to be driven out of Kuwait and later Baghdad, while the anti-Soviet freedom fighters became the anti-Western terrorists in Afghanistan.
News of a misdirected effort in Syria could become embarrassing for the Obama administration and for the president's reelection campaign on the eve of Tuesday night's townhall debate at Hofstra University in Hampstead, New York.

Fall Fruit Recipes and a Simple Apple Galette
The apple galette above was made with my tried and true method: Roll out a circle of pastry (this time it was rough puff pastry, 12'' wide, 1/8-1/4 inch thick), top it with a generous layer of jam (plum in this case), add some sliced fruit (apples with the peels on because I am a lazy rebel), then paint an egg wash on the pastry, sprinkle the whole mess generously with coarse sugar and bake at 375º 25-35 minutes or until deep golden brown. It works like a charm every time.

- How to Read a Study Record
A randomized study is planned over 5 years to evaluate the effectiveness of the Therapeutic Workplace in promoting naltrexone ingestion and abstinence in unemployed opiate-dependent injection drug users. Participants will be offered an opioid detoxification and naltrexone induction. Participants who complete the naltrexone induction will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All groups will be invited to work in the Therapeutic Workplace and prescribed naltrexone for 26 weeks. The groups will differ in the contingencies imposed to work and earn salary. Work Plus Naltrexone Contingency participants will be required to ingest naltrexone to work, and will receive a brief pay decrease for missing a dose. Work Plus Naltrexone and Abstinence Contingency participants will be required to ingest naltrexone to work, and will receive a brief pay decrease for missing a dose of naltrexone or for providing an opiate or cocaine positive urine sample. Work Plus Naltrexone Prescription participants will be prescribed naltrexone, but will not be required to ingest it to work. This study will provide a rigorous evaluation of a novel employment-based intervention, the Therapeutic Workplace, to promote naltrexone ingestion and drug abstinence in a population of injection drug users who are at considerable risk of spreading or contracting HIV infection. Hypotheses being tested in this study are: Naltrexone ingestion will be maintained in the two groups exposed to the employment-based naltrexone treatment significantly more than the group exposed to usual-care treatment package. Opiate abstinence will be maintained in the two groups exposed to the employment-based naltrexone treatment significantly more than the group exposed to usual-care treatment package. Cocaine abstinence will be increased in the group reinforced for cocaine abstinence significantly more than the group not exposed to abstinence reinforcement.

Dunlop is one of the world's foremost manufacturers of high-performance tires.

Company's focus on performance has led to numerous innovations and breakthrough technologies.512.47
Brand: Dunlop Tires Part Numbers:
Dunlop is a global tire brand with an excellent reputation among performance car enthusiasts. Well known for its prestigious sports car racing heritage, many of the world's leading vehicle manufacturers - including Alfa Romeo, AMG, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche - come standard with Dunlop tires. It started in Belfast, Ireland, in 1888, with an idea that forever changed the way the world rides. John Boyd Dunlop's son is struggling to ride his tricycle. He is riding it because he has a heavy cold, for which a doctor has prescribed a very unusual cure: cycling. To make the child's ride more comfortable, Boyd fits his tricycle with tires made of canvas bonded with liquid rubber. Boyd patents what turns out to be a very big idea. Cyclist Willie Hume is the first to adopt Boyd's invention for racing, winning a slew of events. It's the start of Dunlop's legendary run of racing success. In 2009-2010, Dunlop becomes an official technical partner of BMW Motorsport, supporting American Le Mans Series team BMW Rahal Letterman Racing. This relationship quickly bears fruit, as Dunlop tires carry the team to the 2010 GT manufacturer championship. In 2012 and beyond Dunlop unveils wave after wave of racing-inspired, driver-inspiring innovations.

I see a lot of people talking about taking ID photos while wearing pasta strainers and whatnot on their heads, and that's awesome! But shouldn't there be some pastafarians wearing Pirate hats in their ID photos?
Just curious about it really, seeing as pirates are his chosen people. As such, I would assume pirate hats and pasta strainers would both qualify as religious headgear for us, no?
Anywho, that's just my curiosity. Let me know whatcha think.

A Comparison With the So-Called New Atheists and Some Christian Apologists
"Either you don't believe in God or you're a dope." This is how Newsweek's Lisa Miller sums up the thinking of Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris.There are people on both sides of this debate who claim that anyone who disagrees is a "dope." My contention is that anyone who claims this is himself ignorant! Check out this post of mine and this one too. Yes, there are ignorant people on both sides of the fence. But just because someone disagrees does not mean that person is ignorant at all.
Lobdell's deconversion narrative, Losing My Religion, refrains from both bombast and suggestions of dopiness. By his very choice of genre—memoir rather than apologia—Lobdell enters a different territory of the new atheism, one already inhabited by several other counter conversion narrators, including John Loftus...and Dan Barker. Link.
As I argue in my book [which is presently being reprinted], it's about seeing things differently along with WHY we should see things differently.
It might make someone feel good to think the other side is ignorant. It might make someone appear to be intelligent and also help him gain many followers. But to claim that anyone who disagrees is a "dope" is the height of ignorance in my opinion. I would never follow someone who made such a claim. I would never follow someone so cocksure of himself when ignorance is the rule and knowledge is the exception.
Now yes, I happen to agree with the so-called New Atheists and I appreciate all they have done to open up a debate on the issues. But my goal is to reach believers, not to chide them or to rally the skeptical troops (both worthy goals in and of themselves). Again. My aim is to reach believers, like Barker, Lobdell and others are attempting to do.

Hot off the win over Emery, the Carbon Dinos continued to roll as they took a decisive 65-45 win over Manti on Wednesday night. Then Juab put an end to the four game winning streak as they handed Carbon a 74-61 loss.
On Wednesday night in front of a home crowd, everything was hitting for the home town boys. They went up early on the Manti Templars and never looked back.
Keny Seals went hard to the hole to score 15 for the Dinos and pulled in 10 rebounds. Justin Child came off the bench and made his presence felt with 13 points and nine boards. Beau Rich added 12 including a pair of three's.
"We played well and kept ourselves out of foul trouble," remarked Coach Ted Bianco about the win.
"Our defense was good and we had a variety of scores. It was a good follow up to the win over Emery."
Carbon started off hot again on Friday night against Juab. But fouls would be their down fall. The Dinos led after the first quarter by 11 points, but as the officials blew the whistle over and over, the Dino bench could not sustain the momentum.
By the end of the half, fortunes had change and Carbon was down by two. They never quite found the rhythm again and the game slipped further and further from their grasp.
Clint Finkbiner was the top producer for Carbon with 19 points. He hit four from beyond the arc. Daniel Peczuh had a good night deep as well. He threw in three from down town and ended with 11 points. Keny Seals added 12.
Bianco summed up the loss, "Juab played hard and is a good team. We started out good then got into foul trouble and didn't get the same from our bench. We also got out played on the boards and at the free throw line. You just can't win games like that."
The Dinos will now hit the practice floor hard until after Christmas when they will head to the Hodson Tournament in Richfield, Dec.28-30.

Video: With Ruling, Niagara USA Considers Ways to Promote Same-Sex
NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Efforts are already underway to further promote same-sex marriage in Niagara Falls, with Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act, still fresh in many minds.
The ruling is expected to lead to more same-sex marriages, because it allow gay and lesbian couples to get many federal benefits.
Niagara USA, based in Niagara Falls, is all about boosting tourism in the falls.
John Percy is the president and CEO of the agency. He already has plenty of ideas of how to get more same-sex couples hitched in the Honeymoon Capital.
To do this, Niagara USA says it's in the research phase of a new advertisement campaign strictly geared to same-sex couples. No decisions have been made, but the agency may start running the ads in their publications by the end of the summer.
Money to pay for the campaign would be paid for using casino revenue from the agreement struck between the Seneca Nation of Indians, the state, Niagara Falls and Salamanca.
"We will be able to maybe use some of that towards this marketplace and do some advertising that we haven't been able to do in the past," said Percy.
That would definitely help people like Shanie McCowen of Lewiston, who runs Rainbowbells.com.
"My business is to bring gay couples here and get married and have a honeymoon," she said.
McCowan says she's already getting calls from gay and lesbian couples who want to get hitched, as soon as possible.
She says she's getting interest in states like Ohio and Michigan, which don't recognize same-sex marriage.
"People are pretty spontaneous. The calls that I received today they're looking to come in July and August, so I think there's a little bit of an excitement in the air," McCowan said.
Niagara USA says it'll begin thinking as early as next week about new ways to get same-sex couples to the falls.

It wouldn't be a Boston baseball season without Theo Epstein and the Red Sox resuscitating some aging baseball player. Kevin Millwood becomes Epstein's reclamation project, a former all-star starting pitcher who has posted an ERA of over five in three of his last four seasons.
It wouldn't be a Boston baseball season without Theo Epstein and the Red Sox resuscitating some aging baseball player. Kevin Millwood becomes Epstein's reclamation project, a former all-star starting pitcher who has posted an ERA of over five in three of his last four seasons.
Millwood, 36, is the latest someone-thinks-I-can-still-do-this 30-something to stroll down the 18th fairway with Boston handling the caddy duties. Those who recently predated him in the Fenway Fossil collection – Bartolo Colon, Brad Penny, John Smoltz, Boof Bonser and Carlos Delgado immediately spring to mind – came and went without contributing much. Of course if Colon crossed paths with Dr. Joseph R. Purita before 2008, maybe the soon-to-be 38-year-old pitcher would have experienced a late-career renaissance far earlier than 2011.
Once again Epstein is going the Band-Aid route. By taking a low-risk flyer on Millwood, the Red Sox are sending out smoke signals that they are arming themselves in case John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka are sidelined for long stretches. Millwood becomes starting pitching insurance, something just about every MLB team is in the market for. To think he's about to hop in the Delorean and instantaneously turn into a 16-game winner – something that hasn't happened since 2006, also accompanied by a 4.52 ERA – is purely wishful thinking.
Still, the signing of Millwood raises questions that go beyond "why would Theo reach for an aging pitcher?" The ultimate answer delves deeper than Lackey and Matsuzaka landing on the disabled list within days of one another. In the eyes of Epstein and the rest of the front office, there is a lack of adequate starting pitching solutions toiling for the Pawtucket Red Sox at this very moment.
You could see why Epstein would arrive at such a conclusion, believing that Millwood brings something more substantial to the table than Brandon Duckworth, Matt Fox or Andrew Miller. Of the PawSox trio Miller, who turns 26 Saturday, owns the most upside, though his minuses (28 walks in 35.1 innings) outweigh the superlatives (the lefty with a blazing fastball has permitted one hit in half of his eight starts). Until Miller learns how to harness his control issues, he will continue to come up short in his quest to return to the majors.
Duckworth, 35, has been easily Pawtucket's best pitcher this season, yet he hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2008. When he did, he was largely ineffective (23-34 with a 5.28 ERA spread over 134 appearances and 84 starts). We wrote last week that given how rock steady Duckworth has been – he's gone six innings or greater in five of his eight – that his name could possibly come up as a waiting-in-the-wings solution.
At least Duckworth is healthy and has taken the ball regularly since spring training. Millwood was signed by the Yankees in late March, meaning there was no shot for him to be included on the opening day roster. His three April starts in the Yanks' farm system served essentially as his spring training, allowing him to get some innings under his belt as general manager Brian Cashman figured out what exactly he had.
Millwood wound up posting respectable numbers (2-1 with a 4.50 ERA), though he lasted only two innings in his final outing with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. There were also reports that his velocity fell between 86-87 miles per hour, which is better served for batting practice than getting American League hitters out. Earlier this month Millwood enacted his opt-out clause with New York, freeing himself to pursue other avenues.
It should be noted that if Felix Doubront were healthy, the 23-year-old lefty would be making the start Saturday night against the Cubs, not Alfredo Aceves. It also stands to reason that if Doubront wasn't presently on the D.L. with a groin injury, chances are Millwood wouldn't be in Boston's fold.
The Red Sox are battening down the hatches, just trying to coax some starts out of pitchers not named Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester. At the moment Tim Wakefield and Aceves are taking the place of Lackey and Matsuzaka, which may be a good thing in the eyes of some Sox fans. Millwood is nothing more than a wild card. If he pans out, great. If not he will fall into the category of Smoltz and Delgado as players proving that greatness doesn't last forever.
Millwood figures to receive a handful of minor-league starts before Boston decides whether to bring him aboard. In the meantime what happens if Wakefield and Aceves implode? Does Epstein once again comb the scrap heap, looking for the next possible solution who could very well require a minor-league stint before joining the backend of the Sox' rotation?
Chances are Epstein will once again actively seek out another reclamation project should the No. 4 and 5 spots remain in a state of flux. If you are keeping score at home, that would be strike two against Pawtucket's rotation.

The family of a Wilkes man who was reported missing after an Alaska plane crash said he was found safe Sunday night. James Minton, 65, was reported to be in good shape after he was taken to a medical center to be checked out, his family told WXII-TV. Authorities said Minton,
was on a fishing trip with the pilot of the plane, Patrick Williams, 53, of Oregon. Officials said their plane went down near Lake Clark, Alaska. A note left at the wreckage indicated the two were walking to the nearest town, about 11 miles away. Minton's family contacted officials in Alaska, who said the two walked 8 hours to civilization and to seek some medical attention. James Minton is the owner of Minton Automotive Truck Sales on Highway 16 in Wilkesboro.

Ex. Ord. No. 12191. Federal Facility Ridesharing Program
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States of America, and in order to increase ridesharing as a means to conserve petroleum, reduce congestion, improve air quality, and provide an economical way for Federal employees to commute to work, it is hereby ordered as follows:1–1. Responsibilities of Executive Agencies
1–101. Executive agencies shall promote the use of ridesharing (carpools, vanpools, privately leased buses, public transportation, and other multi-occupancy modes of travel) by personnel working at Federal facilities. Agency actions pursuant to this Order shall be consistent with Circular A–118 issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
1–102. Agencies shall establish an annual ridesharing goal tailored to each facility, and expressed as a percentage of fulltime personnel working at that facility who use ridesharing in the commute between home and work. Agencies that share facilities or that are within easy walking distance of one another should coordinate their efforts to develop and implement ridesharing opportunities.
1–103. Agencies shall designate, in accordance with OMB Circular A–118, an employee transportation coordinator. Agencies that share facilities may designate a single transportation coordinator. The coordinator shall assist employees in forming carpools or vanpools (employee-owned or leased) and facilitate employee participation in ridesharing matching programs. The coordinator shall publicize within the facility the availability of public transportation. The coordinator shall also communicate employee needs for new or improved transportation service to the appropriate local public transit authorities or other organizations furnishing multi-passenger modes of travel.
1–104. Agencies shall report to the Administrator of General Services, hereinafter referred to as the Administrator, the goals established, the means developed to achieve those goals, and the progress achieved. These reports shall be in such form and frequency as the Administrator may require.1–2. Responsibilities of the Administrator of General Services
1–201. The Administrator shall issue such regulations as are necessary to implement this Order.
1–202. The Administrator may exempt small, remotely located Federal facilities from the requirements of Sections 1–102, 1–103, and 1–104 on his own initiative or upon request of the agency. An exemption shall be granted in whole or in part when, in the judgment of the Administrator, the requirements of those Sections would not yield significant ridesharing benefits.
1–203. The Administrator shall, in consultation with the Secretary of Transportation, periodically provide agencies with guidelines, instructions, and other practical aids for establishing, implementing, and improving their ridesharing programs.
1–204. The Administrator shall assist in coordinating the ridesharing activities of the agencies with the efforts of the Department of Energy, under the Federal Energy Management Program and in the development of an emergency energy conservation plan for the Federal government.
1–205. The Administrator shall take into consideration the advice of the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act, as amended [42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.] in performing his responsibilities under this Order.

Detailed Description:
Chronic pelvic pain(CPP) is a common disease among women, and its prevalence ranges from 4 to 25 percent. There are various conditions associated with CPP, including gynecologic, urologic and gastointestinal problems. Endometriosis is the most common diagnosis made at the time of gynecological laparoscopy performed to evaluate CPP. Treatments of CPP with endometriosis include medical(analgesics, oral contraceptive pills, gonadotropin releasing hormone(GnRH) agonist, etc.), surgical and combined treatment. Progestins, danazol, estrogen-progestin pills, or GnRH agonists are commonly used as a concurrent treatment along with surgery. However, a systematic review on the comparison of postsurgical hormonal suppression to surgery alone concluded that, while postoperative medical therapy decreased recurrence rates, there was no significant benefit on the outcomes of pain and pregnancy rates. Therefore there is a need for postoperaive medical therapy for pain relief. In this study, the investigators propose a randomized, sham-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture as a pain control for the patients dignosed endometriosis during laparoscopic surgery due to CPP, and have been on 6 month-scheduled GnRH agonist treatment as a postoperative treatment.

Roger Weiland, chief financial officer at Waukesha-based Hydro-Thermal Corp., is retiring. His last day of work as a full time employee for the company is Friday, April. 13. He started as a controller at the company in 1986 and was later promoted to chief financial officer.
Weiland is the father of BizTimes Milwaukee managing editor Andrew Weiland.
"I have worked with at least a dozen different controllers or CFOs," said Mike Smolinski, business operations system consultant for Hydro-Thermal. "While all had special talents and varied personalities, none exhibited the expertise, knowledge and versatility of Roger. I regard Roger as an incredibly gifted, caring, absolutely genuine individual that has blessed every life he has come in contact with. He is definitely one of a kind."
Prior to joining Hydro-Thermal, Weiland was an accountant for Clark Oil & Refining in West Allis, where he worked for 11 years until the company relocated to St. Louis. He was also a member of the Wisconsin National Guard for nine years.
"I had mostly worked for large organizations before I came to Hydro-Thermal," Weiland said. "When you are in a smaller sized company like we are at the present time, you have the great opportunity to be part of a family; a team, in which each person is a very, very important part of the success of that group."
Weiland now plans to spend more time at the library, do more traveling, golfing and playing tennis. He also plans to continue to teach himself piano, he said.
"Roger was managing finance at Hyrdo-Thermal before I became a full-time employee myself," said Jim Zaiser, president of Hydro-Thermal. "He has been helpful, informative and friendly. Roger always goes beyond expectations and is proficient and timely."

The Resurrection vs. History
This poses tremendous problems for evidentialist apologetics. Why? Consider the following: If it's impossible for God to lie, then whatever God says is true by definition. If God says something, then what God says cannot be false and must be necessarily true. Thus, if God, speaking through Peter, by the Holy Spirit in the Pentecostal Sermon, declares that God has raised Jesus from the dead, then "God raised Jesus from the dead" is necessarily true. There is no way it can be false. Therefore, the resurrection, as an explanation of 1.) the empty tomb, 2.) the postmortem "sightings" of Jesus, and 3.) the origin of the resurrection faith, must be a necessary historical explanation. It cannot be a historically contigent explanation, such as an inference-to-the-best-explanation. To argue that the resurrection is the best explanatory explanation is to say that it's possible that the resurrection didn't happen but in all probability did. To say that it's possible that the resurrection didn't happen but in all probability did, is logically the same as saying that it's possible that God lied but in all probability told the truth about Jesus being raised from the dead. Therefore, in Christian theology, the resurrection is a necessary historical explanation. There is no way out of this!
The problem this creates for evidentialism is twofold. First of all, it shows that the resurrection cannot qualify as an historical explanation proper because the defining hallmark of any historical theory is falsification and testability. Secondly, to say that there is "evidence" and "facts" in favor of the resurrection, is to say that the empty tomb, postmortem "sightings' of Jesus, and the origin of the Christian faith are historically contigent events, which directly contradicts the divine attribute of moral necessity. Let me elaborate on both of these points and then spell out my conclusion as to what the implication of this argument is for Christians in terms of consequences.
First of all, an historical hypothesis is an explanation that is formulated to explain a given set of facts. Often with a given set of facts there is bound to be more than one possible explanation. The task of the historian is to use the Historical Method to test the explanations and see which one best fits the facts. Thus, in order to be an historical explanation proper, an historical hypothesis must be testable and, hence, vulnerable to falsification. The resurrection doesn't qualify as such because the resurrection is a necessary historical explanation. There is no possible way for it to be false or else God cannot be a morally necessary being. Yet to be an historical explanation proper, a hypothesis or theory must be capable of being testable and vulnerable to falsification. If it's impossible for a theory to be false, then it cannot qualify as an historical explanation. Hypotheses and theories must be capable of being falsifiable and the resurrection isn't testable or else it would be falsifiable and such an epistemic status would directly contradict the divine attribute of moral necessity.
The second reason the resurrection cannot be an historical explanation is because there cannot be, in principle, evidence for the resurrection, or any facts for the resurrection, as an hypothesis or theory, to explain. The reason for this is that "facts" and "evidence" presuppose historical contigency. Historical contigency means that the course of history could've turned out a different way. If Julius Ceasar had not crossed the Rubicon in Roman history, history would've turned out differently and any "facts" and/or "evidence" that he did cross the Rubicon in northern Italy with his army would simply not exist. If history had turned out different, certain "facts" or "evidence" would simply not be available to an historian to test hypotheses or theories against, using the Historical Method. To say that the empty tomb in the synoptic Gospels is a "fact" is to imply that had history turned out differently, and say, Jesus' body was left to rot on the cross and never buried in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb, there would be no "fact" of an empty tomb to serve as "evidence" for the resurrection of Christ. "Facts" and "evidence" presupposes, by it's very nature, historical contigency. Christians have to believe that the empty tomb, postmortem "sightings" of Jesus, and the earliest Christian faith in the resurrection, are historically necessary. There could've been no other way it might have turned out differently! Christians cannot grant that the empty tomb, the postmortem "sightings" of Jesus, and the earliest Christian faith in the risen Jesus, are a matter of historical contigency, because that would directly contradict the divine attribute of moral necessity. Christians have to argue that the empty tomb, postmortem "sightings" of Jesus, and the earliest Christian faith are morally necessary. I'm not sure what they might regard these events as- perhaps "self-evident truths" of history, which is consistent with historical necessity and is not consistent with historical contigency?
In conclusion, I believe that the resurrection cannot qualify as a historical hypothesis/theory proper because to do so would imply testability and vulnerability to falsification; no necessary truth is capable of being proven false or vulernable to being tested. There cannot be any "facts" or "evidence" in favor of the resurrection because such terms presuppose historical contigency which directly contradicts the divine attribute of moral necessity. Where, then, does this leave the Christian? I believe that the Christian must presuppose the resurrection. The resurrection, as a necessary historical truth, would, therefore, transcend all attempts to test, verify, or refute it! It is therefore presuppositional apologetics which has the upper hand. On the contrary, evidentialim in apologetics is self-refuting and hopelessly destructs on further scrutiny. Any questions or comments are very welcome. Fire away!

HTC has kept their rumored HTC Shooter smart phone under wraps quite well since the rumors first started. Now, it looks as though some testing has been taking place with Sprint and the company incidently uploaded the results of their test online.
Hardware engineers have to know how well their upcoming super phones can turn out 3D images when compared to competing phones. The phone will reportedly run on Android like unlocked HTC Vision G2 Desire Z, and was testing using a tool that is named GLBenchmark. Basically, this tool looks at how well your phone performs when compared to a similar phone, and then will upload the results of the test in your online account, which others can publicly view.
The results that were uploaded online fall just short of the numbers that were set by the HD Mini, but well ahead of the numbers set by the HTC Aria. The benchmarking software is not able to look at every aspect of the device when it is turning out these numbers, but it did provide some very interesting hardware specs that many have been waiting for.
The benchmark tests revealed that the phone will be running on Sprint, and will be running on the Gingerbread version of Android, which is version 2.3.2. the 960x540 resolution display is quite large overall. It will be based on, what appears to be anyway, the Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU (based on the numbers that were released by the benchmark) and will also most likely be a dual-core CPU. Some have suggested that this will not be a new smart super phone after all, and instead will be a successor to the EVO. Look for the company to release more information about the device in the coming weeks to clear up some of the confusion that the benchmark results may have created.
PureMobile carries a wide range unlocked cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phones like unlocked Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, Motorola ATRIX 4G Black, etc.
