CSI: Miami - Born to Kill (season finale)
(S05E24) This was a bit of a departure in terms of what we've come to expect from a season finale in the world of CSI, be it Vegas, New York, or Miami. I'm not complaining though. This episode felt much more like a wrap up of the fifth season of CSI: Miami and rather than leave us hanging with a ton of questions (there were a few), it left me feeling far more satisfied than I expected. Especially since we can look forward to plenty of new developments in the fall. I actually felt much better that one spoiler which had been floating around, never came to fruition. It appears that the whole mess with Horatio being in a plane crash may have just been an exaggeration of the van crash that did occur in the episode. For once, I was glad we didn't get a grand, nail-biting finale.
CSI: Miami: Kill Switch
(S05E23) "I wear make-up now." -Wolfe
Great episode! Solid case, plenty of tense moments, and what turned out to be a really good (slightly cheesy) performance from Jonathan Togo.
The big question on everyone's mind? Wolfe ain't going anywhere. Looks like we're only getting one episode revolving around his brief flirtation with being a TV news "special correspondent," and one was more than enough. It was thoroughly enjoyable but man, was it weird to see him doing something so different or what? It definitely felt like he was selling out his former colleagues by busting out some of the tricks of the trade on live TV, but at least he came to his senses by the end of the hour.
CSI: Miami: Just Murdered
(S05E21) I really enjoyed this episode a lot, but I have to ask. Why did the preview from last week's episode make it seem like some real serious fireworks were going to go off between Calleigh and Delko? I recall something along the lines of, "the moment we've all waited for." What moment? She gave him a peck on the cheek to say thanks! That was it! Realistically, this will lead to something further in the coming final episodes (Delko seemed a bit smitten), but why blow the exciting preview on this instance? It wasn't a big deal at all. The rest of the episode was quite good though. Solid case as well as some shady stuff happening in the crime lab.
CSI: Miami: Rush
(S05E20) This was kind of an interesting episode if you think about it. It was a good concept. Essentially, they took something that was glitzy and over-the-top to begin with and layered it with a storyline about Hollywood, drugs, rehab, and murder. Doesn't get much better than that. Throw in some nods to actual celebrities (similar to Dirt) and we got one of the better CSI: Miami episodes this season.
However, since I love this show, I still have to gripe because there were plenty of things that could have been a little better.
CSI: Miami: Bloodline
(S05E19) Something about this show... I just can't get enough of it. Despite the tirade of complaints every episode tends to generate week in and week out, there's one thing you can't argue. It's always good. Of course, degrees of "what's good" can vary when you address a show like this. So I suppose I'm just making the same argument I always make. Enjoy CSI: Miami for what it is. Over the top television at it's finest.
Continuing with that trend, the show has gone ahead and developed Scott O'Shay (played to the sleaziest by Ed Begley Jr.) into Horatio's latest nemesis. H's feud with Stetler has long since been forgotten and Riaz is dead, so it's time for someone else to get in the way. Supervisor O'Shay is it.
CSI: Miami: Triple Threat
(S05E18) Sorry for the lateness folks, but I'm sick. I've been running a fever as hot as CSI: Miami! OH! That's right, I went there. But seriously, I finally got around to watching this episode and I have to say... it was borderline ridiculous and I loved every second of it.
I cannot recall an episode of CSI: Miami that ever had as many ridiculous twists and turns as this one. It's funny too, because I had been watching a whole bunch of episodes of The Shield recently and I went in to this thinking that I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as I usually do. Wrong. Pour on the cheese!
CSI: Miami: A Grizzly Murder
(S05E17) Alright, I'm not trying to say that it's inaccurate, but did anyone else have a hard time buying into the whole "hunting for grizzlies in the Everglades" thing? Everyone else should be raising their hand right now because it felt ridiculous in the sense that we weren't even in Miami anymore. I love it though. What won't this show do?
Here's what did bug me about it though. The story was essentially a rip-off of the dark comedy Very Bad Things. Buddies get together, prostitute dies, and then they all turn on each other. That's the movie in a nutshell and that was essentially the gist of the whole episode as well. Except for the grizzly bear. I did mention the grizzly bear, right? The one in Miami?
CSI: Miami: Broken Home
(S05E16) Well this was a refreshing episode. Normally when CSI: Miami has an episode with two or more cases going on at once, it often feels forced. Not so this time around. It was a genuinely well laid out story with some great twists. To be perfectly honest, I don't think it even felt like an episode of CSI: Miami. It lacked its trademark cheesiness and the case was on the level of something I would expect to see on the Vegas original.
That's not a bad thing though. I'd love to continue seeing more episodes on this level. Then maybe everyone (myself included) would stop ragging on the show for its campy soap opera-ish feel.
CSI: Miami: Man Down
CSI: Miami: No Man's Land
(S05E14) Well this was unexpected. I think CBS actually did a good job about keeping this episode under wraps.
That statement would have been true had it not been for the multitude of previews that have been shown for this episode. And what did every single one of them show? Delko, lying motionless in a parking lot. Becuase of that, I think myself (along with the rest of America who watched the Super Bowl and caught one of those previews), knew who was going to bite the dust.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all about shaking up the cast and it makes sense that it would occur during February sweeps... but c'mon. Try and surprise me a little?
CSI: Miami: Internal Affairs
(S05E12) Good-bye Rob Estes. I am so glad his guest stint on CSI: Miami didn't last long because he played a total ass. This was probably the best episode of the season and I'm not saying that just because I hated the character of Nick Townsend. If you actually think about how this episode played out, the way it was written, and how the few characters involved were all connected at the end, it was very well done.
There were a lot of things that I liked about this episode actually. Giving more time to some lesser characters (Jake and Valera) was very cool to see. It was also funny to see the night shift team and how inept they are. But nothing beats Horatio and those canned one-liners. I missed those.
CSI: Miami - Backstabbers
(S05E11) This was a follow-up to that absolutely ridiculous episode from a few weeks ago. Remember the one where the guy and his family got kidnapped, it was somehow tied to a terrorist plot, and then it ended with Horatio blowing up a truck with his sniper rifle? That one? Terrible episode. That sort of bugs me now because this one was pretty decent.
It picks up with the trial of the female terrorist who was behind the plot to blow up with nuclear power plot at Turkey Point. Her name is Sonya Barak if you recall and her sleazy lawyer was able to get her off on bail much to the dismay of the father of the family she had a hand in kidnapping. Thus led to a good old fashioned cat and mouse chase and a bunch of corny, and hilarious, one-liners from Horatio.
CSI: Miami - Come As You Are
(S05E10) Did this episode seem weird to anyone else? Weird as in something that shouldn't have even been tackled by Horatio and his team? One character even pointed it out during his interrogation: "Isn't Iraq a little bit out of your jurisdiction?" My thoughts exactly. Maybe it's just me, but damn near everything in this episode seemed like a bit of a stretch.
If anything, I appreciated that the writers for this show were willing to take on a tough subject like the war in Iraq but I think they handled it the wrong way. The episode had a clear negative view on the war (which was great) but I didn't agree 100% with the way they negatively portrayed the Marines and their recruiters. They made everyone seem so devious and two-faced which came across as disrespectful if you ask me. Although it is only one interpretation of what's going on and as I said, you have to at least give them a pat on the back for going near the topic.
CSI: Miami - Darkroom
(S05E08) After last week's episode, I read a decent chunk of comments about how viewers weren't too excited about Boa Vista and all the screen time she's been getting as the newest member of the team. As one commenter put it, "It seems the producers are trying to get us to like the Boa Vista character by making her the center of Season 5."
Well, I don't think most people realized it (unless they read it somewhere beforehand as I did), but this episode was based partly on a true story. Eva LaRue, who plays Natalia, went through a similar ordeal in real life with her sister Nikka. So I think in this case we can cut Boa Vista some slack.
CSI: Miami - High Octane
(S05E07) This show is so bad and that's why I love it. It's a full hour of garbage every week and I can't help but watch it. I love that about CSI: Miami.
So imagine my surprise after this episode. It was actually so bad, that it was, well... bad. First episode all season that I didn't like and I've got a whole laundry list of reasons that began with the very first scene. Underground car racing? Really? Haven't we had enough of this Fast and the Furious junk? Sure the first film wasn't that bad, although I liked it better the first time I saw it when it was called Point Break. Second one wasn't necessary, then they went to Tokyo, and now it's invading my beloved CSI: Miami. Damn you Vin Diesel.

DALLAS, Texas - Powered by a seven-run sixth inning, the
Creighton baseball team defeated Dallas Baptist on Saturday, Feb. 16.
The win moved the Bluejays to 2-0 on the season, while Dallas Baptist fell
to 0-2.
Creighton got on the board in the top of the first as junior Brad McKewon
reached on an error to start the game, then scored two outs later on an RBI
double by junior Mike Gerber.
Dallas Baptist took the lead with two in the third, then tacked on four runs
in the fourth to chase Bluejay starter Tommy Strunc
from his first appearance as a Bluejay. The freshman allowed five runs on
four hits and four walks in 3.2 innings.
Trailing 6-1 entering the sixth the Jays bats went to work. Creighton
sent 11 men to the plate in the frame, knocking out six hits and took advantage
of two errors to snatch away the lead 8-6.
McKewon opened the inning with a single through the left side, then junior Federico
Castagnini sliced a double down the left field line to put runners at
second and third. Sophomore Jake Peter
lifted a ball into short left field that bounced off the glove of DBU's Duncan
McAlpine. McKewon came on to score, but Castagnini stayed at
second. The next batter, Gerber, delivered his second RBI on a single
through the right side to make it 6-3. Moments later, senior Brennan Murphy
drew a walk to load the bases with nobody out. Senior Alex Staehely
didn't miss his opportunity, blasting a three-run double into center field to
knot the game at 6-6 and chasing Dallas Baptist starter, Jake Johansen.
The first hitter that DBU reliever Cody Beam faced was freshman Reagan Fowler.
The Omaha native greeted Beam with an RBI single up the middle to give
Creighton back the lead at 7-6. Senior Michael
Blatchford strode to the plate next as a pinch-hitter. Blatchford
dropped a bunt down the first base line and reached on the second Patriot error
of the inning to put runners at first and second. Sophomore Kevin Lamb
sent Fowler to third and Blatchford to second with another sacrifice, then
McKewon capped the inning with an RBI single to left to make it 8-6.
Creighton added four more runs in the seventh, benefitting from a balk and
RBI singles by Fowler, Blatchford as well as McKewon to make it 12-6.
Finally in the ninth, Lamb blasted a two-run single and Peter tied a bow of the
contest with an RBI single.
Eight of Creighton's nine starters finished with at least one hit, while
McKewon, Gerber, Staehely and Fowler all posted multi-hit
performances. Staehley finished with three hits, three runs scored
and three RBI to lead the Jays offense.
Four Creighton relievers combined to limit Dallas Baptist to just one run on
three hits over the final 5.1 innings. Sophomore Mark Lukowski
earned the win (1-0) with 2.2 innings of one run ball. Peter made his
first appearance on the mound for Creighton, tossing a scoreless final frame.
The Jays will go for the series sweep on Sunday at 1 p.m., Creighton opened the
2012 season with a sweep at Central Arkansas.

Each day Leslie A. Dias walks the two short blocks from her new home in Creek Wood Apartments to pick up her 8-year-old daughter at North Elementary School.
The city school is the only one that third-grader Allyson G. Ivey has ever known, because the family lived on nearby Francis Street for three years before moving into the new development off Mill Street a month ago. Starting Monday, however, that might have to change, as Mrs. Dias was told her daughter will have to ride a school bus more than 5 miles away to Brownville Elementary School.
Mrs. Dias, who said she has health problems and doesnt own a car, insists she didnt know that moving into her new apartment meant changing school districts. Now, in a dilemma that was bound to surface eventually since the apartment complex was built straddling the General Brown and Watertown City school district boundary, Mrs. Dias will be forced to pay $2,853 in annual tuition to Watertown or make her child switch schools.
I just dont think its fair, said Mrs. Dias, 29, whose husband, Spc. James D. Dias II, is deployed to Afghanistan for nine months. Allyson goes to my mothers and cries. Shes really stressed out.
When she notified her daughters school about their address change Oct. 17, Mrs. Dias was stunned when a North Elementary School secretary informed her that she had moved into an apartment building outside the city school district.
She said its a difficult situation for her family, and she is appealing to city leaders to waive tuition so her daughter can stay in the city school. She worries about having to pick up Allyson in an emergency or if she is sick, and without transportation, she said, she will not be able to attend school events and teacher conferences.
The handful of students in the complex who attend General Brown typically arrive home on a school bus after 4:30 p.m., Mrs. Dias said, noting it would be a long day for an 8-year-old.
Mrs. Dias said that she wrote to Watertown Superintendent Terry N. Fralick, who told her she would have to pay tuition or Allyson would have to attend General Brown. A $407.65 monthly payment is due Monday.
The matter has been placed on the agenda for Tuesday nights Board of Education meeting. So far, board members have not discussed the issue.
It was apparent to both districts that Allysons situation was bound to happen when Creek Wood was proposed in 2008. The districts negotiated to keep the boundary intact before the apartment complex construction began, said Jack J. Boak Jr., Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services superintendent. The reason was state aid, he said, noting that north country schools lost $80 million in aid over a four-year period.
Saying he empathizes with the family, Mr. Boak said school districts cannot afford to lose any additional state aid, although he could not say how much money that entailed.
Mr. Fralick puts some of the blame on the apartment developers, Norstar Development USA, Buffalo, and on the city, which annexed the land. He said he believes the land issue should have been settled before construction began.
General Brown Superintendent Cammy J. Morrison could not be reached for comment.
The situation came up just one other time, when a tenant who lived on the General Brown side of the apartment complex wanted to send children to the city schools. That situation was resolved when Creek Woods property manager found an apartment in another building, Mr. Fralick said.
No other apartments at Creek Wood are available now. And Mrs. Dias is the first tenant who has requested that tuition be waived and her child remain in the city district.
School board President Cynthia H. Bufalini said district policy dictates that if you dont live in the district, you have to pay tuition or move out.
We have to be careful we dont set precedents here, she said, noting that residency issues with residents around the district come up occasioanlly.
In fact, Northland Estates, an apartment complex off Route 11 in the town of Watertown, is split up between the city and South Jefferson school districts, Mr. Fralick said. Some students attend city schools and some go to South Jeff, he said. A trailer park on West Main Street also is in the same situation, with some students going to the city school district and others to General Brown.
Creek Wood is not unique, he said.
But Mrs. Diassaid she believes her situation is unique.
Although she remembered she was told the property was split into the two school districts, she is confident she was never told her apartment was actually in General Brown.
I am not going to send my daughter to General Brown, she said.
Contacted by phone, a representative of the apartment complex said she made Mrs. Dias fully aware of the school district.
And both districts keep apartment address lists of which school district the units are in, Mr. Boak said.
There must have been a mix-up or a misunderstanding, he said.
Meanwhile, the conflict is taking a toll on Mrs. Dias.
She said money is tight and she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, which has affected her kidneys.
Im stressed out, she said, adding the troubles have made her arthritis worse.
On a chilly day last week, Mrs. Dias put 3-year-old daughter Peyton in her stroller and walked slowly down the bumpy sidewalk along East Division Street to pick up Allyson. On the 20-minute way back, the third-grader was in a talkative mood, smiled a lot and chatted about her day in school.
I had a good day, she told her mother.
In recent days, Mrs. Dias has not talked to Allyson about the situation, hoping not to stress her out further.
Not knowing what to do, Mrs. Dias contacted Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham to see if he could help. He has intervened on her behalf, contacting Mr. Fralick, Mrs. Bufalini and Creek Wood representatives.
The mayor is hopeful that the school board will respond positively. Maybe the school board can extend the deadline until the family can find another apartment in another building there or at two other complexes it owns, Star Wood on nearby Starbuck Avenue and Summit Wood on outer Washington Street.
I see all sides, he said. But its supposed to be about children.

POTSDAM There is only one thing to say about chronic back pain: it hurts.
Thomas C. Lufkin, who holds Clarkson Universitys new Bayard and Virginia Clarkson Endowed Chair of Biology, says the key to eliminating most chronic back pain may lie in stem cells.
My focus on this grew out of the research I was doing in Singapore where we were looking at how genes interact in networks to form organs, he said. One of the areas we made a lot of progress on is understanding how the vertebral column and the intervertebral discs are formed.
Chronic back pain costs the U.S. economy $30 billion annually in lost work days, Mr. Lufkin said. According to a 2003 study by the National Institutes of Health, back pain is the most common cause of missed work days, and Americans spend at least $50 billion annually on the problem.
It is not a rare problem. It is really quite common, Mr. Lufkin said. The majority of individuals suffer some sort of back problems related to the discs at some point in their life.
As more Americans adjust to careers at computers in cubicles, they become susceptible to back problems. Mr. Lufkin said ideally, people would sit in a reclined position to take the pressure off their lower spine. Spending hours a day leaning forward or upright puts pressure on the discs.
Mr. Lufkin said that most chronic back pain comes from minor injury to or degeneration of the vertebral discs. The spinal column is made primarily of two components, bone vertebrae that provide rigid support and cartilage discs that allow the back to be flexible.
Mr. Lufkins research involves turning patients cells into stem cells.
Were using stem cell therapy with the patients own cells. We wouldnt have to use immunosuppressants. There would be no problems with rejections, he said. Using a patients own cells also would prevent the political and ethical pitfalls of harvesting embryonic stem cells.
The stem cells then would be coaxed into becoming cartilage cells.
Our work is twofold. One part is generating new discs that can be used as replacements during surgery for ones that have to be removed, Mr. Lufkin said. In the case of people who have degeneration of the discs, you would take a needle and put into the person cells that were basically adolescent-aged intervertebral disc cells that could regrow the disc.
Mr. Lufkin then would need an assist from Clarksons stable of top-shelf engineers and physicists,
The collaborative group of professors that are here, they are ones we can work together with, he said. This is going to take an interdisciplinary group to bring this to fruition. I have no experience with polymer chemistry or nano-engineering or three-dimensional printing of bio-structures. This is done by people who are more physics or engineering trained.
Clarksons concentration of high-tech academics and entrepreneurs has become a selling point to attract some of the leading minds to Potsdams relatively small and isolated locale.
Were used to having to collaborate with people internationally. It is nice here you can go down the hall and find someone to work with, Mr. Lufkin said. I cant do it without the physicists.
The recent sub-zero temperatures of the north country are a stark contrast to Mr. Lufkins most recent home in Singapore, where he worked.
I was living in the tropics before. It was between 85 to 95 degrees, he said. This is my second week. I really like it. My kids love the snow. Its great to have four seasons again.
Mr. Lufkin received his bachelor of science degree in cell biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and his doctoral degree in molecular biology from Cornell University, Ithaca. He completed postdoctoral research at the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics of Eucaryotes, Strasbourg, France.
He previously was an associate professor of developmental biology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and an adjunct faculty member at Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore.

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y.-Williamsville South head coach Kraig Kurzanski is quoted as saying that "Chaq Nettles is the best wide receiver I've coached in 24 years." Wednesday Nettles signed his letter of intent to play college football at Robert Morris.
Nettles made it official Wednesday when he signed on the dotted line surrounded by family and friends.
Nettles told Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar "its really important for me to be following my brother's footsteps and now I'm on my own making a name for myself. Hopefully I will have people looking up to me and following in my footsteps."
Nettles said the staff at Robert Morris hopes he can contribute right away. Nettles is 6'1" 170 lbs. He was the Class A South player of the year with 60 catches for 962 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Creativity and Research, 2/2013
"A Home for Creativity Researchers" by Keith Sawyer: Click here to read: "Creativity researchers don't really have a place we can call home. It's because the study of creativity is interdisciplinary. That's the key take-home message of my 2012 book Explaining Creativity: The Science of Human Innovation. And that's a problem, if you want a home, because universities are organized into disciplines--such as psychology, anthropology, economics, computer science. And where do creativity researchers fit, into this organizational structure? Most of us don't fit comfortably anywhere. So where are we?

Diary of the Dark Avenger
The Dark Avenger is a superhero who, together with his side kick, The Crimson Skidmark (no image available) fights crime on the murky streets of Portsmouth.
His origins are shrouded in mystery but here is a reference to him in the Portsmouth Guaaaaardian:
In the following pages we publish the Dark Avengers long lost diary (when I say we, I mean everyone feel free to chip in).
Monday June 4th: Even as I lay in my hospital bed recovering from...well, lets just say I had to lay face down, the dark shadow of Piracy crept ever thicker over the town of Portsmouth. I had sworn to rid Portsmouth of it's Pirate scourge and, by the powers of my utility belt, I will do it. No one knows my true identity, not even my trusty assistant in my battle against crime, The Crimson Skidmark. Sometimes I feel the task is too great even for me, but then the ignomy of the Pirates' behaviour inspires me to gird my loins for action. Time for a wholesome cup of Horlicks before bed, for tomorrow I will begin my crusade.

MORRISTOWN The Village Board of Trustees adopted a $951,526 budget for 2013-14 on Tuesday that includes the first tax rate increase in six years.
The budget, a 1.9 percent hike over last years spending plan, raises the tax rate from $11.31 per $1,000 of assessed value to $11.53.
While last years budget increased the tax levy by $300, the villages new spending plan includes a $9,800 jump, to $293,800.
We felt it was better to increase a little bit than to run short and then next year have to have a bigger increase, said Mayor Cheryl A. Shatraw.
Another factor that contributed to the villages larger budget is raises.
All of our people got raises, Mrs. Shatraw said.
That includes village tax collector/Clerk Sandra A. Warren and three Department of Public Works employees.
Each one of us received a $624 raise, Mrs. Warren said, which is a 3 percent increase.
None of the village trustees or Mrs. Shatraw received a raise.
The village didnt need to tap its fund balance to reduce the levy. The village also saw a boost in state aid, which increased from $27,700 last year to $77,700 this year.
Both of these changes are the result of the villages boat-launch renovation project, which cost $107,000. The increase in state aid is the result of a $50,000 grant for the renovation project that arrived late.
Mrs. Warren said the project, which is slated to be finished by the end of the month, allowed the village to lower its general fund spending.
Neither the villages $273,273 sewer district budget nor its $103,028 water district budget will require an increase in the rates. Sewer rates will remain $360 annually, billed quarterly at $90. Water rates will remain at $7.50 per 1,000 gallons.

The Orioles have shown interest in Closer Francisco Cordero, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.
Cordero, 36, posted a 5-3 record with a 2.45 ERA, 1.109 WHIP and 37 Saves in 69.2 innings last season for the Cincinnati Reds. Over his career, he has 327 saves in thirteen seasons with the Rangers, Brewers and Reds. He has accumulated 150 saves over the past four seasons. However, It may be a bit worrisome how his K% has gradually decreased over the past few years (33.0%, 25.4%, 21.0%, 18.7%, 15.3%).
A signing of Cordero would potentially provide the Orioles with some depth behind Kevin Gregg and Jim Johnson. It also could provide the Orioles the chance to move Jim Johnson into the rotation. They could also attempt the move Gregg, Connolly speculates.
Please no. I just don't see the point honestly. Plus I am scared of his peripherals. He could be ready for a drop in production imo.

Round 10 (309)- Austin Wynns C (College)
I've always said that the MLB Draft is the most anti-climactic event in baseball. No one helps the parent team anytime soon. The Baltimore Orioles will prove that with flying colors this year as I simply do not see any fast moving prospects from this draft class.
Hunter Harvey was a fine selection and the team got highly rated talent for it's choice and reports are that he's very willing to sign. Yes, his father was a closer and he's been around the game. That said he's just now getting out of high school so it's going to be a long process of development. The good news is that his fastball is plus now and he has time to get his secondary pitches up to snuff.
Josh Hart is an outstanding CF prospect that profiles as the type of talent that the team has failed in recent years to develop. The talent is there, just don't expect it to blossom right away. He's got speed with the bath and in his legs. He doesn't project as a power guy. He also is reportedly to not have the best arm. However, he's got plenty of range. In my opinion this is the wisest choice the team made on day 1 and 2. The parent club needs run producing players which is exactly what got Hart drafted so high. The trick here is getting him signed and begin his pro instruction this season. While the GCL won't give fans much of a peak at what the team has gotten in Hart. It would acclimate this young man to the pro game and give the team a good view of where he fits soonest. Also, what are his biggest weaknesses to work on.
Chance Sisco Apart from having a pretty good bat and arm for a Catcher coming out of High school. What little I've uncovered is that his work behind the plate is going to be a project as he's reportedly on the raw side. I can find little information regarding how willing to sign he is. It's just an opinion, but this strikes me as the type of prospect that will need two go rounds at Delmarva before moving up. The position in the minors is thin with talent. So developing a back stop makes complete sense. Question is just how raw is he?
Stephen Tarpley Looks like an excellent value pick. Toolsy! He's got a good fastball now and three secondary pitches. The secondary pitches all need work but that is what your minor league teams are for. You couple that with the fact that his arm hasn't been overworked for a college player and you likely made a pretty good choice. How fast he moves is likely up for debate as rushing is never wise. However, in two years time with good health he could well be a hot prospect. Which is my guess, a year in Delmarva, a year in Frederick and then sky is the limit for him. Like most Oriole prospects he'll be given every opportunity to work as a starter. Considering he's a third round pick and a lefty, he's an outstanding value.
Jonah Heim Calling Heim organizational depth is likely premature. He's not seen as a high upside selection, but possesses just enough to have a little projection left .He's not that advanced and more what you see is what you get. With the team having needs at the position he is likely in a good place for himself. He will have a chance to work his way up.
Travis Seabrooke Another LHP youngster, this was one of Canada's top prospects this year. He's Plenty tall and projectable. He's got decent velocity now with his fastball and can get better with time. His secondaries need a lot of work. Professional coaching will have a good arm to work with and prove their worth with this young man. Personally I like this pick. Left handers do not grow on trees. Even if his long term major league limit is as a reliever (Not decided by any means) then he absolutely will be a good return on the team's investment. How willing he is to sign is unknown.
Alex Murphy Another prep prospect at Catcher. He's a Maryland player. He's said he's willing to sign and while that is encouraging. Little is known otherwise. Hopefully, the sudden logjam of young talent doesn't restrict Alex Murphy to short season clubs. I worry that because of the influx of players at the position some won't get the proper amount of playing time and exposure to succeed.
Drew Dosch Likely drafted do to his plate discipline. This young man only stuck out 21 in 224 at bats. How good his bat is will likely decide his positional fate. He has the range for 3B and the arm is considered "Good Enough" for that spot as well. He's left handed and has a pretty good swing. It likely won't bring anything more than average power long term. However, this strikes me as another solid choice. He could become a solid corner utility player or even a left handed designated hitter. Something the team hasn't addressed often or wisely in the past.
Trey Mancini Not a lock to sign. Pretty good hitter in college at 1B. How good his power and hit tool is up for debate. I know he was listed inside of Baseball America's top 250. The need at the position in the lower minors was there. This was a sound value choice for the club.
Mitch Horacek Big, tall Dartmouth left. It's really hard to know what the team landed here so late. I do know he had three complete games and a solid ERA this year (2.20) in 45 innings. Opinion: Solid value choice should at least become a workhorse in the minor leagues. If he signs, this should offer our lower level minor league coaches another sound arm to work with and coach. Delmarva tickets should sell reasonably well next year.
Austin Wynns The fourth Catcher the team drafts in the top ten rounds. The team may have chosen a solid player here. However it's created it's own problem in trying to resolve another. Regardless Wynns is reputed to be a pretty good defender and should sign. He exceeded expectations in college with the bat. What is his ceiling is undetermined. Opinion: This strikes me as decent organizational depth. Considering the team's apparent weakness at the position our scouting department saw strength in numbers regarding the position. Also if a prep catcher doesn't sign we've another able body for our farm system.
Grade: C-
I am no scout. Just another fan. I can't see myself putting down any of these young men the team selected. However, I can be somewhat critical of how the draft was handled. The C- grade may seem pessimistic and premature. However, the team has multiple needs and only two were addressed strongly early in this draft. I think we as fans can walk away feeling really good about the selections of Harvey, Hart and Tarpley. Harvey wants to go pro and has the tools to become a pretty good starting pitcher some day. It's just a matter of development time. Hart is a very exciting draftee in my opinion and the type of athlete the team should try to develop more often. I don't expect him to tear up the SAL next season or anything unrealistic. Nor, do I think of him as being an athlete trying to play baseball as members here have suggested like Xavier Avery. This kids a ball player and looks like a good run producer. As for Tarpley, you can think of him as less of a project. Perhaps that means back end starter. Though being left handed and having four pitches going for him you can feel really good about that. How much work his secondary pitches need and how long a process remains to be seen. I like the pick.
It has been pretty obvious the team has been thin in it's farm system at Catcher for a while now. Taking four of them within your top ten picks seems a tad excessive. I can't help but be nervous regarding the team's ability to sign all four of them. Then if they all do sign. Are two of them going to be stuck with short season clubs this summer and next? Catchers are flat out tough to develop. Most can't hold up at the position or have knee issues down the road. Carefully limiting work load is part of the solution, though they too need repetition and playing time to grow. Frankly, I would rather see the team use a top 150 choice on the position each year and amass talent this way then over reacting in a single draft.
Fans can also feel good about the team grabbing left handed pitching. There is never enough of it. How good a prospect Travis Seabrooke is remains to be seen. Perhaps adding strength can add velocity and pro coaching helps a great deal. Hopefully the same applies to Mitch Horacek. Assuming both sign throwing Hunter Harvey into the mix, like I teased above the Shorebirds should have a pretty good season next year.
I think my other big gripe is that no middle infielders were added to the fold. Again, with SS and 2B being hard to find. It would have been nice to see the team pick one or the other up. Regardless of the strength of this draft there is always talent to be found. That said we over reacted at catcher and ignored other needs. Hopefully the C- grade has me eating crow in three years time. For that to happen talent and organizational depth at Catcher will have to become a team strength in that time frame. Easy to say, tough to do. Also there is more of the draft to take place as I type this. Though clearly the meat and potatoes of the 2013 draft is already decided.

Bluejay Baseball Adds Five for 2015
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton baseball program has announced the signing of five players to national letters of intent for the 2015 season on Monday, Dec. 2. Josh Baumgart (Sioux Falls, S.D.), Grant Farrell (Centennial, Colo.), Devlin Granberg (Hudson, Colo.), Ryan Leuty (Shoreview, Minn.) and Keith Rogalla (Oak Park, Ill.) will join the Bluejays next fall.
"I want to thank our assistants coaches ( Spencer Allen & Tom Lipari) on the great job they did in filling the needs with our 2014 recruiting class," said Creighton head coach Ed Servais. "We always set out to continue to add depth to our pitching staff and I feel we did that. Playing our home games at TD Ameritrade we needed to get more athletic and I feel we did that with the signing of our two high school outfielders. I'm very pleased to have these five recruits join our program in the fall of 2014."
A 5-11 right-hander pitcher from Roosevelt HS in Sioux Falls, S.D., Baumgart was a 2013 Class A First Team All-State hurler. He closed the season with a 0.52 ERA, recording 39 strikeouts in 27 innings and allowing just eight walks. Baumgart posted a 4-0 record with one save, allowing just 13 hits in 27 innings as a junior. The previous season (2012), he pitched in the Class A State Championship game.
Farrell, a 6-3 outfielder, has been a three-year starter at Cherry Creek HS in Centennial, Colo. He led his squad to a combined 45-7 record during his sophomore and junior seasons, capturing the 2012 5A State Title team. As a junior, Farrell received All-State Honorable Mention from the Denver Post, hitting .365 with 16 RBI, 21 runs scored and a .444 slugging centage. Farrell was also the MVP of the 2012 Don Mattingly World Series, where he led his team to a National Title in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Granberg, a 6-2 right-handed hitting shortstop, is expected to battle for a spot in the Bluejays infield next season. Granberg batted .440 with four home runs and 26 RBIs in the spring of 2013 and also came on in relief to earn the win for Holy Family HS against Eaton in the 3A final. He has spent the summer playing for Diamond Club Blue, which on July 14 captured the immense Boulder National Invitational Tournament with a 12-2 win against Fairview. As a sophomore, Grannerg hit .608 with 23 extra-base hits.
A 6-2 left-handed pitcher from Totino-Grace HS in Shoreview, Minn., Leuty is a southpaw that helped the Eagles to a 16-8-1 record in 2012 and an appearance at the Class AAA state tournament. Ryan plays at the club level for the Minnesota Starz Mizuno. Ryan will get the opportunity to battle his brother, Matt, when the Bluejays face Nebraska.
Rounding out the 2015 class is Rogalla, a 6-2 right-handed pitcher from Oak Park & River Forest HS in Oak Park, Ill. Rogalla helped Oak Park and River Forest claim a share of the West Suburban Conference crown last season, leading the squad to a 16-9 overall mark and an 8-3 record in conference play. The ace of Illinois Indians summer league team, Rogalla is expected to be an immediate impact arm for the Bluejays.

Comments about Guidewater Shorts (Men's):
i purchased these pants to fill the role of an outdoor activities short and yet be able to be worn out at a sports bar or something without looking like a technical outdoor gear nerd (which i probably am). these shorts look good enough to wear out but i get my best use of them fishing. whether i'm catfishing on the ohio river or trying to catch largemouth in a local lake these shorts do a great job. light to stay cool and spf protection for these sunny summer days on the water. it seems the dwr treatment only repels the spray from the water for so many washes, but they dry very quickly. shorts are built well and the best thing i noticed about them is that hooks are easily removed from the material without tearing holes. i'll probably get the full pants version for early and late season fishing.

Jake banged his head hard when he was tackled, and he felt kind of weird afterward. He thought it was just another hit that he could shake off — and he wanted to stay on the field. After the game, though, he felt pretty sick. Should Jake have kept on playing?
Definitely not. Jake may have had a concussion, and it was actually a bad idea for him to stay in the game.
The brain is made of soft tissue and is cushioned by spinal fluid. It is encased in the hard, protective skull. When a person gets a head injury, the brain can move around inside the skull and even bang against it. This can lead to bruising of the brain, tearing of blood vessels, and injury to the nerves. When this happens, a person can get a concussion — a temporary loss of normal brain function.
Most people with concussions recover just fine with appropriate treatment. But it's important to take proper steps if you suspect a concussion because it can be serious.
Concussions and other brain injuries are fairly common. About every 21 seconds, someone in the United States has a serious brain injury. One of the most common reasons people get concussions is through a sports injury. High-contact sports such as football, boxing, and hockey pose a higher risk of head injury, even with the use of protective headgear.
People can also get concussions from falls, car accidents, bike and blading mishaps, and physical violence, such as fighting. Guys are more likely to get concussions than girls. However, in certain sports, like soccer, girls have a higher potential for concussion.
The signs of concussion are not always well recognized. And because of that, teens may put themselves at risk for another injury. For example, players may return to a game before they should, or a skateboarder may get back on the board and continue skating, thinking nothing's wrong. That's a problem, because if the brain hasn't healed properly from a concussion and someone gets another brain injury (even if it's with less force), it can be serious.
Repeated injury to the brain can lead to swelling, and sometimes people develop long-term disabilities, or even die, as a result of serious head injuries. So it's really important to recognize and understand the signals of a concussion.
Although we may think of a concussion as someone passing out, a person can have a concussion and never lose consciousness.
Symptoms of a concussion may include:
The severity of concussion is determined after all of the symptoms have resolved, the neurologic exam is normal, and brain function has returned to normal. There are different types of concussion:
A player should not return to sports practice or a game on the day that they are injured and they should not return to sports activities until they are no longer experiencing symptoms. In many teens the physical symptoms get better before the symptoms related to thinking.
During the first few days following a concussion, a player should rest. Both physical and cognitive rest are important. Activities that require concentration and attention may make the symptoms worse and delay recovery.
After a player's symptoms have resolved, he or she may begin a supervised gradual return to play. The player should advance from one step to the next only if there are no symptoms. The steps to return to play are:
It's important for anyone who sustains a complex concussion to see a concussion or brain injury specialist.
What should you do if a friend or teammate has a concussion? Tell an adult or coach immediately. Even if the concussion seems mild, the player should sit out for the rest of the game.
If the symptoms are severe (such as seizures or a long period of unconsciousness) or the person seems to be getting worse, that's an indication of a serious head injury. Get medical help right away.
If a doctor suspects that someone may have a concussion, he or she will ask about the head injury (such as how it happened and when) and the symptoms. The doctor may ask what seem like silly questions — things like "Who are you?" or "Where are you?" or "What day is it?" and "Who is the President?" Doctors ask these questions to check the person's level of consciousness and memory and concentration abilities.
The doctor will perform a thorough examination of the nervous system, including testing balance, coordination of movement, and reflexes. He or she may test memory, thinking, concentration, and reaction time — all of which might be impaired after a concussion. Sometimes a doctor will order a CT scan (a special brain X-ray) or an MRI (a special non-X-ray brain image) to rule out bleeding or other serious injury involving the brain.
If a person's symptoms last longer than a week, the doctor will likely recommend further testing of thinking, memory, reaction time, and other brain functions.
If the concussion isn't serious enough to require hospitalization, the doctor will give instructions on what to do at home, like having someone wake the person up at least once during the night. If a person with a concussion cannot be easily awakened, becomes increasingly confused, or has other symptoms such as vomiting, it may mean there is a more severe problem that requires contacting the doctor again.
The doctor will recommend rest. It is important to get physical rest and avoid physical exertion and playing sports. It is also important to avoid loud, bright, busy environments. People who are getting over a concussion should also avoid activities that require lots of thinking and concentration, so a doctor may recommend that the person stay home from school or work.
The doctor will probably recommend that someone with a concussion take acetaminophen or other aspirin-free medications for headaches. If the symptoms last longer than a week, the doctor will likely recommend further testing of the person's thinking, memory, reaction time, and processing speed. This is done by performing a neuropsychological evaluation.
After a concussion, the brain needs time to heal. It's really important to wait until all symptoms of a concussion have cleared up before returning to normal activities. The amount of time someone needs to recover depends on how long the symptoms last. Healthy teens can usually resume their normal activities within a few weeks, but each situation is different. A doctor will monitor the person closely to make sure everything's OK. Once the symptoms of a concussion have resolved, an athlete may begin a supervised gradual return to play.
Someone who has had a concussion and has not recovered within a few months is said to have post-concussion syndrome. The person may have the same problems described earlier — such as poor memory, headaches, dizziness, and irritability — but these will last for longer periods of time and may even be permanent.
Someone who has continuing problems after a concussion might be referred by the doctor to a rehabilitation specialist for additional help.
Some accidents can't be avoided. But you can do a lot to prevent a concussion by taking simple precautions:
It's vital to take good care of yourself after a concussion. If you injure your brain during the time it is still healing, it will take even more time to completely heal. Each time a person has a concussion, it does additional damage — and since it's damage no one can see on the outside, there's no way of knowing how serious it might be. If someone has multiple concussions over a period of time, it can affect the person's brain as much as being knocked unconscious for several hours.
Preventing concussions is mostly common sense. The best thing you can do to protect your head is to use it.

Steph's right about the dough...it was perfect. The whole dish turned out great and really hit the spot with some vanilla ice cream on top. Thanks Steph!!

why the mountain dew? could you substitute something else and have the same results?

yum-meeee. those look good. i'll probably make them for my dad's birthday!

This is the coolest blog - I love my crock pot but am clearly under utilizing it. Looking forward to testing some of these recipes.
- May 16, 2008 at 9:11 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
thanks to YOU, adam, for running out for the icecream! ;-)
kelly, the Mt Dew is really just for fun. Any lemon-limey soda would work, as would lemonade or apple juice. it was fun to drink quickly, though!

- Mom24 said...
I just cannot bring myself to try this...it makes my teeth hurt just to think about it! I'm glad to know it works though. Maybe I'll try to modify it.

- SaraK said...
I think I would use Diet Sprite and Splenda instead of sugar, but it looks amazing!
- May 16, 2008 at 9:50 AM
- Laurel said...
You are superwoman! This looks better than apple pie, and without the rolling of crusts! Okay, for you: Have you ever tried Crockpot Goetta? I use the one by that name at Recipezaar (but with more water). I assume oats are gluten free?
- May 16, 2008 at 10:00 AM
- My Ice Cream Diary said...
Can you make that dough using regular flour? I'm not big on the refridgerated crescent rolls. This recipe looks fab. I think I would be pretty shaky and loopy if I tried to drinnk a Mt. Dew straight up. =)
- May 16, 2008 at 10:19 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
mom24, I know, it's SOO much sugar!
sarak, ooh, if you test that out, let me know.
laurel, I don't know that food/recipe/word. I'm going to look it up. There is a whole debate about whether or not oats are safe for a gluten free diet. when you have an extra 6 hrs, you should google it. ;-)
lizzie, lol, I would assume it would work with all-purpose flour. Actually, yes, it should work. the xanthum gum is a gluten simulator--which is so the dough binds together. There is no yeast involved, so I bet it would work just right.
lemme know if it works, or if you try just the crescent roll recipe.
- May 16, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Hi Steph- I recently found your blog and love it. This looks delicious- thanks! Do you happen to live in the Portland, OR area? Some things you've written lead me to think so. Anyway, there is a gluten-free fair tomorrow in NE portland- it's on oregonlive.com under entertainment, then events, if you are interested. Thanks for all the awesome recipes. You're my hero for doing this every day for a year! WOW! Bev

Hi Bev,
no, I don't live in Oregon, I live in CA. but that event sounds awesome--and I hope that there are lots of yummy samples!
- May 16, 2008 at 8:28 PM
Did the original pioneer recipe call for mountain dew? Because if it did...I don't think they meant a citrusy soda pop. ;) Just wanted to put that out there. :P

I happened upon your blog through a link on another one, and I had to link it to mine becuase you have so many great recipes!
We tried the dumplings that they were a huge hit! I think I may try less sugar next time, though. I wonder if 1/2 a cup would work as well, or if that would mess up all the nice sauce?
- May 21, 2008 at 6:52 PM
- Becca said...
I just made these and they were a BIG hit!. My only thought would be to not cook over 4 hours so maybe there'd be more juice left to drizzle over the ice cream. I will be making these again.

I have the dough chilling right now and can't wait to try this. But I was wondering if you peeled the apples. It doesn't look like it in the picture. Thanks.
- May 29, 2008 at 2:55 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
nikki, nope, I didn't peel.
let me know how it comes out!
- May 29, 2008 at 3:25 PM
- nikki8 said...
Okay, I made this today and am here to give you a report. The dough was wonderful and I'm so glad I found it. I held back some dough and made some crescent rolls. My picky (silly) son loved them. I have Better Batter Flour and I also used the cottage cheese. The dough was very sticky even after chilling for more than 24 hours but it tasted great. Now the dumplings didn't turn out as well, but I think it's my crockpot. You had advised me to call Rival about adjusting it because I really think it cooks too high, but I have yet to do that. I checked it after 3 hours and the dough wasn't done yet-it looked fine. I went to the store and when I got back, it was burned (this was 4 hours). The middle was good but the apples were almost pure mush. So I need to get it adjusted. Thanks for the recipe.

I've been cooking for 40 years, and this is one of the easiest and best-tasting recipes for apple dumplings I've ever come across.
My husband and I are both diabetic, so we used 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of Splenda. It was perfect. Next time (and there WILL be a next time!), we're going to try all Splenda to offset the sugar in the Mountain Dew.
Thanks for a great recipe!
- June 8, 2008 at 1:07 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
I'm so glad that you enjoyed them, Brenda!
- June 8, 2008 at 2:57 PM
I agree, this is much easier than apple pie. I used sugar free lemonade and it turned out just fine. You were right about it being good the next morning as well. It has fruit, that counts as breakfast right?
- July 8, 2008 at 11:45 AM
- Twa said...
This recipe is amazing. I Loved it! If you like apple pie this will be a favorite instantly. It is rich but mouth watering I swear I couldn't believe how good it was. exspecially since it truly wasn't any harder than putting a frozen pie in the oven and was SOOO much BETTER!!! Thank you for posting it. and all these recipes I love this site.

- Naomi A said...
ZOMG these are delicious! I made them today and my fiance and roommate are in love with me now....not that they already weren't. ;)
My only deviations from your recipe:
**Subbed 1 Cup of Sugar with 1 Cup Splenda
**Subbed 1 Cup Mountain Dew with 1 Can of Diet Mountain Dew
PS. I'm uber glad I've found your blog, I heart my three crock pots and can't wait to utilize more of your recipes! Thank you for your blog!

Naomi, I'm so glad that you liked them, and thanks for reporting back that the splenda and diet Dew works well.

- SilverMoon Dragon said...
I didn't have a crock pot back when I made these, I wsh I had, but DP didn't think that much of them, and it's sheer foolishness for me to cook a batch knowing I'll have to eat the lot myself!
I got the recipe from PW too, but since we don't have crescent rolls here in Australia, I just used puff pastry, and that worked fine. I put strawberry slices on top of my apples - made it even nicer.
(And I regularly drink Mt Dew straight. Or with vodka)
- August 31, 2008 at 7:50 AM
Got most of the ingredients for this, but am going back to store so I can double it. Can't wait to try it! We are having company tonight, so I am fixing baked taters, black bean soup, and apple dumplins! Can't wait!
Hope you continue "crock pot" blogging into 2009!
- October 17, 2008 at 7:58 AM
I made these last night, and they are really really good. I used red apples (they were going unloved in the fridge) and only 1/2 cup of sugar. I think it turned out great with less sugar! It was still pretty darn sweet, so I might even go less next time.
Also, you were right, I think they are even better cold for breakfast. :)
- January 11, 2009 at 6:18 AM
Dear Steph,
This was amazing, my entire family (8 of us)plus my parents loved them. We had them with the vanilla ice-cream. The only problem I had was my 7qt. crock pot (RIVAL) burning the edges after 3 hours. I will re-try these in my smaller crock pot and hope for better results.
Thanks so much for sharing.
- March 3, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Can you use DIET Mt. Dew? Mt. Dew was my CRACK for years....the first thing I drank in the morning and the last at night. I've FINALLY changed to Diet pops, I can't go back....I'll get addicted again.....so if I make this....I'll use Diet.
- April 5, 2010 at 7:13 AM
I made 1.5 batches of this in a 6.5 QT crockpot. Optimal cooking time on high would be 4:15min - 4:30min. They were slightly burned by 4:45.
- May 19, 2010 at 8:11 AM
I made this today for Father's Day, wanted something not chocolaty for dessert for my husband. It was very good, only thing I would probably change is the apples were still really tart, (used Granny Smith). I'm thinking a sweeter apple would make it better? It was good though, and the kids all ate it up!! We had it with vanilla ice cream. Thanks for this recipe!!
- June 20, 2010 at 4:39 PM
I'm glad you cut back on the sugar in this recipe from Pioneer Woman's which calls for 1&1/2cups sugar. It was too sweet! The kids liked it but complained it was overly sweet. I will try it in the crock pot next time & use 1/4 or 1/2 cup sugar. I came to your blog after somebody posted on Pioneer Woman's blog that the Apple Dumpling recipe could be made in a crock pot & they noted your blog site. Glad I came over.

I'm trying this now, the gf dough was really sticky, but I pressed it with saran wrap so it didn't stick as bad to my hands. I can't wait to try it!!

- Lori S. said...
I made this for Christmas Eve dessert, served w/ vanilla ice cream. I used only 1/2 c sugar, which was plenty. And instead of Mt. Dew I used lemonade. They are absolutely delicious!!!! The full recipe was a lot for my family of 4, we had plenty left over for Christmas breakfast.

- Lynette (email@example.com) said...
I am trying a double batch of these right now in my 7qt. My only question is that my crockpot has a hole in the lid with a rubber stopper so you can let steam out. Instead of using the "wooden spoon" method, I took out the rubber stopper...hope it works out! :)
- January 15, 2011 at 12:41 PM
The worst part about these things is that 3h later, when I went to the kitchen to sneak more, and they were GONE, my husband told me he'd only had one. ONE. Which means I ate the other FIVE. FIVE. In 3 hours!!! Enjoyed every minute!
I only used 1 cup of sugar (and used 2/3c white and 1/c brown) and for the liquid I used apple juice. There was a load of sauce left over so I put that aside and scooped it over each one to serve.
Off to buy more crescent rolls tomorrow!!!
- January 31, 2011 at 11:30 AM
OK - so I'm about 2 years behind in trying this - - - had great "reviews" from a church ladies group. Very yummy!!! I modified the white sugar content by:
using sweeter apples - a yellow delicious and a jona gold
used 1/2 C. white sugar + 2 Tbsp of brown sugar
I didn't have tons of sauce left over in the bottom - would that have been because of the apples? hmmmm, not sure on that one . . .
We at the group meeting thought you could throw in some nuts if you wanted to - maybe walnuts, etc.
Thanks for the recipe!

- Collins Family said...
I'm also WAY behind (2 years) but I tried this recipe yesterday. After 6 1/2 hrs on high with the lid propped open with a wooden spoon the edges were starting to burn and the dough wasn't even close to cooked all the way through. :( On the upside, my house smelled great and I saved myself a lot of calories because we couldn't eat it. LOL! I used the crescent roll dough and I used an all natural lemon lime soda because I am allergic to caffeine so Mt Dew was not an option. Not really sure what happened.
- April 7, 2011 at 7:29 AM
Anyone try using pie crust instead of cresent rolls? Heading to the store soon...I like the texture better but wondering if will just fall apart in the liquid
- September 27, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Could you use apple cider instead of Mountain Dew? I was just at an orchard today and bought a half gallon of apple cider and some honeycrisp apples and I want to make something delicious and this got such great reviews!
- October 22, 2011 at 4:50 PM
I'm making these tonight for the kids for breakfast in the morning. I'm going to chop my apples instead of slice them and add a little cinnamon because I love cinnamon. Chopping the apples means I can make little "pillows" out of them. I will take the advice about using less sugar too.
