You are a magic-maker Suzanne and what a blessing you are in the lives of those whom you're entwined.
I hope your lovely daughter has enjoyed a week filled with things that have made her heart sing....no doubt she treasures your morning serenades wholeheartedly.
To answer your question I would scoot back in time to when I was nine and my love of books, butterflies and daydreaming were indulged without interruption and shared with my best friend Lindsay - happy days!
Oh this is lovely, Suzanne...you really do live life's little moments! I LOVED raising my children, and was always aware of how quickly it was passing. I was at a baby shower for my daughter-in-law this past week and we all wrote cards with advice. My advice was to enjoy your children...because they grow up in the blink of an eye...
oh yes! i was at my very best when my men were little ones. things were less complicated, and my health was more predictable. i love the song playing on the blog as it stirs a very special memory: my eldest sang this as a solo in 6th grade--melting the heart of his parents.
Suzanne, these are such beautiful thoughts, you made my heart stir. Although I have no children of my own I was reminded of things my mom has said to me in the past few weeks. Let's face it, none of us are getting any younger and wether you are a mother, a child looking at one more wrinkle on your parents face or your own, you yearn for simpler times and happy times.
I love visiting here, and I say it every single time I write a comment because you make me think, and feel. I ponder things that perhaps I had not thought about, you make me aware of feelings that were perhaps buried or not even felt.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories and happy thoughts on your precious children, and your blessings.
Have a great day, elizabeth
How very *very* Sweet, Suzanne.....
....can I just say, I truly *love* your writing....I *love* coming here....your prose, your way with words, it's so lovely and lyrical....lulls me like the lullaby I can almost here in the backdrop of this post.....
....and I *always* enjoy your photography, your unique lens on life, your focus, always a visual treat....love the view you invite us into....always like rounding a sweet corner coming here, and hearing yourself happily exclaim, "oh!" : ) ....
....thanks for the beauty m'dear....you have mastered life's art of "thinking on things that are lovely" and you help us to do the same.
What a *treasure*
I'd love to revisit myself with my children when they were little and I'd tell me to be more RELAXED with them and just enjoy them and the moment. I was a very worried mother when they were little, always concerned that I was doing the 'right' thing.
So yes please, I'd like to go back, stop time, and enjoy.
I'm much more relaxed now they are teenagers and we have such fun, but I do regret those early days of self imposed angst.
ps I bet your daughter LOVES her early morning wake up call! I still sing to my 17 year old son (a new made up song every morning) and he always wakes with a smile :o)
There are many moments I would relive again, for sure. They are mostly in my childhood, NOT MY TEEN YEARS! Since I have no children, I would have to go back to times when I was a child, in particular, those times on the old tapestry rug, in my front room, DANCING, as my father played CLAIR DE LUNE on his old piano. I can still FEEL the sunlight streaming in through the arched French doors, warming my face. I was three years old, and already doing well-formed pirouettes, I was told.
That is the tinsel of my life. The music of my past and the memories of my present. Thank you.
I've never had children, but I am 8 and 11 years older than my sisters and I remember the days of their childhood with nostalgia. I absolutely loved being a big sister to little ones and would give anything to feel one of their little hands in mine again.
i would go back. they grown so fast. i love the young adults my children have grown into, but i miss them as little ones. great post suzanne.
Aw, Suzanne, you made me all misty this dreary morning. My daughter is merely a year behind your own sweet girl. Tess is a teen whose smile illuminates a room and it's been that way ever since I can remember. My memory is one of walking into her buttery yellow sunlit room and gazing upon that early morning sleepy-eyed but smile brightened face, arms uplifted for me to remove her from her crib.
Would I go back? I'm not sure. That requires further thought. As always, you encourage reflection...in the most wonderful of ways.......thank you so much for that.
How sweet - beautiful post!
I would love to have one day where my boys could be little again. My oldest is almost 13 & just as tall as me. I miss holding him in what he use to call "up hugs". I think it's time to pull out the photo albums & cherish all of the wonderful memories of my two young men as "little boys". Have a wonderful day!
Oh my sweet baby girl wakes up every morning with a giant grin on her face. When she wakes from a nap though she's always fighting it! Despite that though I know I'll miss these days when they are gone.
How sweet your words are.
If she doesn't already, someday your daughter will appreciate reading them back.
Sweet Suzanne...what a blessed daughter you have for being raised by a beautiful and sentimental Mother, such as you...
I would indeed go back. I would definitely through the statement, " just a minute" out of my vocabulary, and be more in the moment with my one and only.
I so miss the days where she would wake up, toddle her way into my room, crawl into bed each morning and snuggle with her Mama. She would end this time together with a tradition we established on that old bouncy springy bed... Emily would sit on my hips as I lay on my back, and is bounce her high in the air, while holding her hands, all the while singing a made up song called, 'Boody Boody Boo'. lol Ahhhhh, the memories of that sweet little one, when it was still 'ok' to snuggle your Mama on a whim....
Thank you for the step back in memoryville.... I so loved the 2-6 year age best of all.

Lovely and quite timely for me - have just returned home from an out of state visit to my daughter (for her birthday). I felt the years that have passed so strongly. I was looking at her 26 year old face and wondering where my baby had gone and I heard a little voice telling me she was right there looking back at me - same eyes, same heart. So happy to have memories, what lucky creatures we are.
I don't know if I would go back to any particular time. I love my life now, have loved it most of the way though. I wouldn't mind freezing right now sometimes :)
I would go back to my kids' babyhoods in a heartbeat....why does it have to be so bittersweet to see them grow up??? I am a sappy mama too. I whistle to wake up my kids - my mom did too - they grumble - I did too - and they'll probably wake their kids like that too. And Elizabeth will probably wake her kiddos with a song!
You are so very good at cherishing the moment Suzanne. I would be 12 and my brother 19 and the two of us riding down the road in his 75 Mustang with the top down. We were often mistaken for two girls because he had long beautiful blond hair and I had long brown hair. That was a surprise for sure.
So beautiful, and yes there are moments I would love to relive, especially when my kids were young. I remember watching the movie Peggy Sue Got Married, and in one scene she sees her now deceased mother for the first time in her flashback. She goes on and on about how young her mom looks and how much she loves her. Back then I saw it as just another scene in a movie, now it makes me cry!

Hi sweet friend,
What a lovely post...And to answer your question, YES! I would go back and relive those sweet toddler days in a heartbeat. As a wise mother once told me, "the days seem long but the years are short" - describes those toddler/baby days! However, wanting to go back makes me keenly aware to be PRESENT with where my girls' are RIGHT at this moment.
Darn! Parenthood can be so cruel sometimes!
I have ALWAYS said that I would go back and live high school again! But only if I got to know what I know now. (Is that allowed?) And I would absolutely go back and have my kids as littles again .... I LOVED that time in my/their lives. I would make a few different choices when it came to raising my son - just a few, but they are important things! ;)
" I don't think so " would probably be my answer, too. I have a lot of sweet moments in my childhood, my youth, my motherhood ...and I cherish all these good times and the sincere deep emotions they evoke. To re-live them again is to re-live my life up to this point :)...I rather want to remember these moments and make sure not to allow them to fade away. Thinking of such sweetness, especially seeing my son maturing in front of my eyes, it makes me realize that a 13-year-old needs as many hugs as a 3-year-old. Time is precious, so better make every moment count .
Thank you for your thoughtful posts and soulful images, Suzanne. Visiting here has always inspired me to be a better person.
Love how you greet each day and gentle wake your daughter! There are clips of my life that I'd love to revist. One would be mothering my sweet {not so little} boy.
Never fails that you make me cry. Seriously Hallmark needs to be busting down your door. Love that picture of you with your niece. Made me miss your sweet smile so much. Okay so a sweet time to live over....hmmm.....maybe those first early years when it was just B and I. Knowing him now all these years later it would be sweet to be a fly on the wall and watch it all play out again. Or those first moments when M was placed in my arms and I felt such disbelief. That would be surreal.
I teared up reading this, Suzanne! After reading this, I felt that I must be doing more to bring a smile to my loved ones. You're amazing, and it seems to me your daughter inherited or imbibed your sweetness and has herself become as sweet or sweeter. I love that photo of you with your niece. Maybe you look so youthful because you're always smiling. I oughta try that! Thanks for sharing these moments, these are the moments we all should be so lucky to have...
Oh, I hope your beautiful daughter has had a wonderful week and you and she have created even more memories.
If I were to go back I would go back to when I was a little girl and my best friend Stephie and I would play with our dolls and make all kinds of clothes and create lives for them...we played with our dolls endlessly. And then we would go play on the swings together...not a care in the world except to have fun and laugh a lot.
That said, she and I are still best friends, even though we live on different coasts, and still laugh a lot. We were both blessed with wonderful parents so their memories are entwined with the memories we share today. So, if I had to go back, that's not a bad place to go. XO
Letting go of our little ones is one of the hardest things to do in life, me thinks. You've nailed it with the magic of brevity.
As we said our final goodbyes to our dog this week, I've realized it is never enough. Never enough cuddles, enough walks, enough 'I love yous'. At the moment, you think your time together will last forever because you can't picture it any other way. It is about savoring the moment, and the moment in itself being enough. Capturing the moment through photos definitely helps to keep the memories - thank God for cameras!
Another beautiful post Suzanne. I used to wake my kiddos up singing "Goodmorning Starshine" to them. Oh how I would give anything to be able to go back for a minute and sing to them again. Time passes far too quickly for sure. . .
I would relive my girl's childhood in a heartbeat. Kate, who is adopted came home with us when she was 10 days old and I remember a friend saying, "Susan, just enjoy every minute, it goes so fast." Me, caught up in the moment, mind racing with all I needed/wanted to do, shook my head that I understood. But I didn't really. I do now. I feel as though I didn't "cherish" that time enough. Maybe this is a lesson learned after the fact. But, I'd love a do-over.
Oh to feel those little hands in mine again would be heaven! Thanks for stirring up some memories on this great day Suzanne!!
Enjoy your weekend!
I do know how you feel...those days are sao special. But, while I'm still in the thick of it, I can tell you that I have to make a real effort to savour those moments at the time...it's so easy just to let it all whizz by in a blur of nappies!!
I would go back....to spend more time with my mom. I would most especially re-live the past 10 years, those were the worst for her. She suffered from so much loneliness and depression.
Beautiful, thought-provoking post, Suzanne!
I loved reading this sweet post and how you expressed yourself so well in those moments spent with your baby. For me, yes I'd go back in a heartbeat to the times I got to spend with my Dad, only I would never never want to relive when we lost him. Love all of your sweet images on here too Suzanne. xoxo ~Lili
awwww...so so so sweet...I remember those days...I KNOW a lot of them were Carazee!!!! but oh they were good too. From July 25, 1987 to March 11, 1994 I had four babies....When Kam was born I had FOUR kids six years old and under...whew...wonder how we did it now...don't we? I remember singing the theme song to Fievel..Somewhere Out There...and rocking...rocking...Three are out and Kam is now the last one here...I am doing my utmost best to make the most of it...to be there....to cherish the time with him...my baby...bwah...turing 18 in less than a month...where did the days, months, years go...I guess I will say...I am anticipating Grandmama days...and pray to God we will live close to our kids...Hugs to you Suzanne. Thanks for a beautiful - teary post. I hear ya girl...Part of us is happy for them to be so close to trying their wings, and part of us is s*a*d....wanting to hang on just a few more moments....linger...oh my...xoxo
This almost makes me want to cry...I think about the past constantly and how my kids are getting so big, so quickly. My son just turned eleven, and, really, it seems like just yesterday that he was about five. Before I know it, he'll be leaving me to go off to college...I can barely think about it. My daughter constantly begs and begs me for a baby sister and sometimes I want to give in to her wish so badly, to have just one more chance to do it all over again, but I feel like I'm getting to old. Yes, I'd gladly shave more than a few years off and do it all over again...I'd do a lot of things differently too.
Suzanne, you gorgeous girl. What a thoughtful mama your sweet daughter has. Hmm, I'd like to be transported back to the early 1970s when life was so simple and carefree. J x
I smiled all the way through your post :)
I'd like to go back and just watch us doing everyday things.... and hear the way they spoke then and to hear again the funny things they said....time spent walking to school, reading bedtime stories, colouring, playing with lego, so many hours spent together
thank you for your visit and sweet comment
Thanks Suzanne for jumpstarting the memories thing. I'd go back to when I was four or five and would get up in the summer and go across our narrow street and sit on our neighbor's front step in the sun. Sit there and soak it all in and warm up and just BE. No cares or problelms (my parents still handled those).Just a little girl who had the whole day ahead to do what she wanted! I realize now that wasn't leisure time, that was learning time. Learning to be me, becoming me by storing up those memories that no one can take away!
Girl, you know me and know that I crave to keep my Jemma little forever. She is only six and I just catch myself breathing her in when I can. I would go back and try to help my mom battle her addiction to alcohol more than be a stupid girl and be mad at her. I would also go back and try to start having babies earlier so I could have had a few more. I would go back and be with Jemma as a baby every day if I could. I just cherish those memories. Have I ever told you the promise Tom and I made the night she was born? We promised in the room with her laying in my arms that we would never ever say, " I can't wait for her to..." I knew that those moments would come so fast and I didn't want to miss any of them while wishing for something to come. We have never said it and I am so glad. I have really tried to live in the moment and cherish each day with my sweet girl. Oh my... you always get me with your posts!
Oh I would definitely go back back to young motherhood. I loved every second of it. Yes,
the neck nuzzling was my favorite : )
and the 'watching when they didn't know I was' when they would give a sibling a helping hand or a loving hug.
Just tonight, I went to my now 27 year old daughter's facebook page where she has posted a photo of her and her thirty year old brother giving each other a big hug. Made me smile, made me remember! made me wish...
Thank you Suzanne for all of your amazing posts that leave me thankful that I call you friend.
hugs from me...
Oh I love this post. That fox in the first image just grabs you in an unexpected way and makes you CHUCKLE!!
TO answer your question in your sweet comment....my ingredient for getting so many things off the ground in a week?
In a good way. :)
CAN'T WAIT FOR JULY MADNESS CHEZ MOI with you.
To turn back the clock and go back, wishing at times, your children may have chosen a different path; yet those decisions were theirs to make. We can't hold their lives at three forever ( I wish though!)
Art by Karena
I would turn the clock back a bit -- to when Rick and I were younger together and his boys smaller, when we were all together and not so spread out, when we could introduce all the new, when Stimpy was still with us and Gypsy younger and me healthier. But those times remain memories to savor, and savor, I do.
Just beautiful. I definitely would. i would go back to when my almost 14 year old daughter was born. I would take my time, not worry so much about the little things and just enjoy her big brown eyes. I wouldn't work so hard and instead just be with her. I surround myself with memories hoping to catch one as I pass by.
Suzanne....I LOVE THIS post possibly more than any other! I would give just about anything to click my heels and go back in time, to when my kids were around 10,8 and 2. In a heartbeat. I found a bunch of our old home movies (since transfered to dvd's) and literally couldn't watch some of them becuase I was so overwhelmed with emotion and I had people working in the house and well...you know I didnt' want to look like a nut job sobbing like a baby. Its bad enough those darn Johnson and Johnson commercials and Disney clips get me every time...but seeing dvd's of my kids young, makes me melt into a puddle of tears. Many of my most favorite and cherished memories were from when they were young and I was so needed. Even those whiny cries and grubby dirty hands wiping at my clean pants sounds good!!
Thanks for a fun walk down memory lane.....very sweet!
I would SO do it again...I would cherish those days. You don't understand what people mean when they say the time goes so fast...until you have your own, almost grown.
I don't know who said it, but this quote is a good one~
The days are LONG, but the years are SHORT!
yes I would
much like you I often think if I could have a day..an hour
to have each of them as babies.
I remember as a young mama rushing it..wishing they would do this or that milestone
only to wake up today at 43 astonished that that many years have gone by..never to be touched again.
so yes...I would
thinking of you..hoping your weekend was good:)
Oh, how this post made me smile. I too woke my daughter every morning with a cheery "good morning sunshine" and would receive that same sleepy eyed smile. I loved each and every stage of her childhood, but as a new grandmother of a 4 month old, I wouldn't change a thing...so amazing to watch your own daughter as a mother...
Awww - sweet. Now pass the tissues as I really need one. Just back from watching my 'baby' compete in collegiate swimming championships and thought many times where has the time flown by to...
xo Cathy
What a sweet post! I caught the smell of baby lotion yesterday, and it made me miss having a newborn & smelling that wonderful, intoxicating smell that newborns have. Nostalgia is a tricky thing though, and that's why I love it so much. Like you've said, it makes you forget the bad & savor the good.
Have a wonderful week!
Suzanne, dear, I am misty eyed...what a beautiful, bittersweet, heartwarming post. Love all of your images. That was such a sweet time, but we try to cuddle and be silly as much as possible even now. Watching the home movies together is so special, and I hope that keeps my daughter in a state of love for herself as we enter the teen years.
You are a very talented artist of life! Thank you :))
Sending hugs out West ;)
- Irina
I feel like you're a mind reader! I was thinking just today (on my yoga mat) how much I loved the time when Carter was my only little one and he was 2. Easy, breezy, playing at the park. Such sweet days. A blessing of a time for me. Things are so much busier, crazier, demanding now. But, as I read this...it serves as such a great reminder to say yes to the 2nd bedtime story, the extra cuddle, the game, the chat....b/c I will blink and my boys will have better things to do.
Hugs to you!
xoxo Elizabeth
Oh, I miss those days so, so much...I only pray they remember them with the sweet memories that I do...sweet post!
Oh Suzanne you have a way with words that warms the heart so.
I love this thoughtful tender post, and your photos are so sweet. I would go back to the days when my kids were young and every day was an adventure with them.
I still even dream of my oldest son when he was a young boy and I could just reach out and touch him, its so real.
Loved the days of their childhood, carefree, playful, I love you so much, moments.
Thanks for bringing back sweet and precious memories!
Love to you!
Deborah xoxoxoox
So many sweet memories of when the girls were little ... but storytime and watching movies together were always fun. And our summer together in Europe ... living in a tent.
Suzanne, the picture of you and your camera and neice ... stunning.You are so lovely.
I found your weblog site on google and examine just a few of your early posts. Proceed to keep up the very good operate. I just additional up your RSS feed to my MSN News Reader. In search of forward to studying extra from you afterward!…

Memorial Day
Decoration Day was originally designed to commemorate the fallen Civil War soldiers.
On May 5th, 1868, General John A. Logan spoke the following:
The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
This was the first official recognition of Decoration Day — or, as it was later named, Memorial Day.
On that May day in 1868, during the first celebration, General James Garfield (later the twentieth U.S. President, and, incidentally, one of the last great Presidents this country has had) gave a moving speech at Arlington National Cemetery. After his speech was concluded, 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried in Arlington Cemetery.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh says that his team need to start maximising their package.
The Woking outfit entered the season believing that they had the fastest car in the paddock and this idea was given credence when Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button occupied the front row of the grid for the opening two races of the season.
However, while the gleaned 40 points from the first race, they have only managed a further 153 across the ten races that have followed.
As a result, it is Fernando Alonso in a Ferrari that has often lacked raw pace that leads the Drivers' Championship - a point of frustration for Whitmarsh.
"In the first 11 races we were on the front row eight times, so the car is not slow in qualifying at least," he told Autosport.
"But this season has been difficult for everyone - and you would have to say Fernando and Ferrari have done a great job: one in terms of development and two in terms of getting the best out of the package.
"We haven't got the best out of our package."
With nine races remaining, Whitmarsh is confident that the 47 point gap between Alonso and Hamilton is one that can easily be surmounted.
"We are learning, we are improving the car - but none of it happens as quick as we would like.
"However, I think we are on more solid foundations and we are making some progress. There are lots of points up for grabs, and that is what we have to keep reminding ourselves."
Key to the team's chances of improving their performance is that they have managed to gain a better understanding of the Pirelli tyres, an area that proved a stumbling block in the first half of the season.
"The tyres have been a real challenge," he said. "There are a number of parallel paths that you now have to tread, and one is that whatever else is going on, you have to make the car quicker.
"We have been working hard on that and made a bit of progress, but you have to avoid mistakes as well. We have made a few mistakes, and you have to eliminate them, but we have made a bit of progress there.
"This year in particular you have got to get the tyres into the sweet spot, and we have made some progress, but just as you try and get on top of the dry tyres then the challenge of intermediates and wets starts.
"You have to say in Britain we were quick in the dry, quick in the wet and poor on the intermediate, and then at the next race [in Germany], we were quick in the dry, quick in intermediate and poor in the wet, so it's not easy. But it is an interesting challenge."

Murphy is not in the lineup for the second straight day. No word on an injury. Pedroia is playing 3B, Machado is the SS. Harris is the 2B. Concepcion is the C. Durrington is playing LF. Assuming Murphy is unavailable, this means the only bench player is new draftee Ryan Khoury. Can't wait to see what happens if Stern is not claimed by TB and goes to Baltimore tomorrow.
Ahhh, the dog days of summer.

Climb on the ManAram express. Arambarris hits his first NYPL home run. In fact, it's his first US pro home run. He's 2/2 today.
Steinocher is pitching well. Final line: 4.2IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 2BB, 1K (run scored - BB, SB, Balk, ROE)
Lowell leads 3-1, end 5th

He's happy to be out of the heat of Nashville, but it didn't show after the first two (hitless) innings. He's got a bunch of arm slots for his "fast" ball, if you can call it that, as it honed in around 84-85 mph. Every now and then he reached back for an 87 mph hummer, and even one that hit 89, but none of those faster balls was in the strike zone. He's got a good curveball that ranged from 69 to 74 mph that he could throw for strikes and fool AAA hitters with, even threw it behind in the count effectively, but without anything to set it up you get a line like today.
Bausher looked very good for 4 batters, then started giving up line shots all over the place. And Lopez's outing makes the chances of seeing Javy Lopez pitch to Javy Lopez shrink even more I'm afraid.
Khoury pinch hit for Stern in the 9th, so Adam couldn't K 5 times (I saw Adam before the game and told him there's a strong Jewish community in Baltimore and he laughed). Khoury looked like a 9 year old in the batting helmet.
Banks wasn't all that effective for Syracuse, but Pawtucket couldn't get hits with runners in scoring position (sound familiar?) Jason Fraser was throwing heat, but without much effect.
Lydon stole 4 bases (2B x 3, 3B x 1), and none of them were close. Evert couldn't keep him close, and Concepcion double clutched on one throw where he might have had a chance.
Edit: Oh, and Willie Harris has a "lucky ball" that Machado threw into the crowd before the game and had to get back for Willie (traded for another ball).
Willie, you're hitting under .200. Where the hell would you be if you didn't have a lucky ball? Maybe it's an UNLUCKY Ball? Give it up, Willie, give it up.

What is the league ERA? Are the ERA's for the Greenville pitchers low for the league?
I think ERA is an overrated stat at this level of development.
The two stats I find most meaningful are BAA and K-rate. However, they must work in tandem.
A guy with a high K-rate but a high BAA (.240-.260 seems about average to me) may be a guy with decent stuff but not a lot of refinement or a guy who throw hard but straight. He might fix his issues or, more likely, be a guy that will continue to get hit at higher levels and will not strike out as many people. A guy with a mediocre K-rate but a low BAA probably doesn't have the stuff to survive at higher levels.
In looking at the big 4 in Greenville, all have K/rates above 9, except Jones. All have BAAs below .230, with Buchholz below .220 and Phillips at .200 (which is moving into dominant category).
Bowden.. - 10.3 K/9, 4.1 K/BB, .227BAA (Age 19.11)
Buchholz - 10.3 K/9, 3.8 K/BB, .217BAA (Age 22.0)
Phillips..... - 9.6 K/9, 2.0 K/BB, .200BAA (Age 22.2)
C.Jones... - 8.0 K/9, 2.5 K/BB, .222BAA (Age 22.2)
I would rate them in the order listed.
Lester (Age 19.7) in low-A did not have stats close to any of these four. In fact, his stats were closer to the 5th member of this group, Michael Rozier (which is the saving grace with Rozier, that he might next year have a year like Lester's age 20 year in high A). So, the obvious key is how these prospects carry their 2006 success into 2007.
Here are the gold standards for high-A ball for them.
Lester...... - 9.6 K/9, 2.6 K/BB, .???BAA* (Age 20.7)
Papelbon - 10.6 K/9, 3.6 K/BB, .???BAA** (Age 23.8)
* My back-of-the-envelope calculation is .242. Someone may actually have the true number.
** My back-of-the-envelope calculation is .207. Someone may actually have the true number.

David Murphy (.277, 19 doubles, 7 triples, 7 home runs, 38 RBI), who is 0-for-9 in his last nine at-bats, sat out of the PawSox last two games for precautionary reasons with a sore back. Murphy is tied for fifth in the I.L. with five triples.
With a double to lead off the bottom of the third inning, Pawtucket infielder Alejandro Machado has now hit safely in 14 of his last 18 games, batting .351 (20-for-57) with two doubles, two triples, and six RBI.
Pawtucket pitchers Dave Pauley (1-3, 5.54 E.R.A.) and Phil Seibel (2-0, 1.50 E.R.A.) are both going to Florida for rehab treatment. Pauley has had pain in his forearm, while Seibel, recovering from Tommy John's surgery, felt tightness in his elbow and left the PawSox game on Saturday after facing only three batters in Pawtucket's 3-0 loss to Syracuse.
Posted 07 August 2006 - 08:47 AM
Game Story
Despite needing to make up some ground on first-place Scranton-Wilkes Barre, Pawtucket dropped its first series in nearly a month yesterday, falling 12-2 to Syracuse and losing the series, 3-2.
But the PawSox still remain 6 1/2 games behind the Red Barons because Scranton lost, 7-3, to Ottawa.
Pawtucket's bats were hot in July when the PawSox hit .280 as a team, but the SkyChiefs' pitchers cooled them off. Pawtucket only managed 15 runs in the five games.
Syracuse outscored Pawtucket, 8-15, in the series.
"It was just one of those days where we just didn't play real well," Pawtucket manager Ron Johnson said. "It's not like we went out and did a lot of things bad, they got after us offensively and then we scratched for a couple late. It's one of those scenarios where, in the games that we won [in this series], 5-0, 5-1, it was there for us, but not today."
Choi's Mission
His Los Angeles Dodgers equipment bags remain packed and next to his corner locker in the cozy confines of the Pawtucket Red Sox clubhouse.
The Boston Red Sox claimed first baseman Hee-Seop Choi off waivers from the Dodgers on March 24, but he hasn't made it to the bigs. At the start of the year there were questions regarding who would be the everyday first baseman in Boston, and obviously Kevin Youkilis has answered that in a big way, switching corner positions successfully.
During spring training, Boston general manager Theo Epstein told the Journal: "We have liked Choi for a long time and view this as an opportunity to acquire him when his value is down a bit. We like his power, his patience and his hands at first base. Choi provides depth for us at first base and, in a way, third base as well, considering Kevin Youkilis' ability to play both positions."
So, where has this $725,000 security blanket been?
Even before he went on the disabled list July 7 with a knee sprain, Choi wasn't having a season deserving of a call-up. Realistically, if he was healthy, it wouldn't really matter what numbers he was putting up. The fact is he would be in Boston right now because of all the injuries.
One thing for sure, David Ortiz wouldn't have played first base on Friday. Choi may not be the solution to the Red Sox' problems, but he could be an answer.
Pawsox Notebook
In his PawSox debut, Brett Evert , 25, looked sharp early, but struggled in the third and fifth innings in Pawtucket's 12-2 loss to Syracuse yesterday.
"I thought Evert battled his butt off," Pawtucket manager Ron Johnson said.
Evert was signed by the Red Sox on Thursday after being released by the Milwaukee Brewers (Huntsville Double A) on July 15 and became the 29th new PawSox player to appear for the club after Opening Day.

Game Story
The Portland Sea Dogs are relieved to be heading home. The Sea Dogs completed a disastrous 10-game trip Sunday with a 6-2 loss against the Akron Aeros before 5,755 fans at Canal Park.
Portland arrives back in town today shouldering a burdensome nine-game losing streak, one less than the franchise record.
That's a distinction the Sea Dogs hope to avoid matching Tuesday when they play host to the Harrisburg Senators in the opener of a nine-game homestand.
"It's just been a rough stretch," said second baseman David Bacani. "We've been playing hard. You can't question our effort. But there's things in the game that happen."
Drive Stories:
Game Story
A new team entered West End Field Sunday afternoon.
But, for the Greenville Drive, the results remained the same.
The Hagerstown Sun scored three runs in the final two innings to claim a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over the Drive in front of 4,019.
The Drive, who at one point led the South Atlantic League Southern Division, have lost nine of their last 10 games -- including four losses in five games during the home stand.
Greenville's downfall patch has been a lack of offense. The Drive have managed only three runs in their last three games.
"We can't put three hits together right now," said Drive manager Luis Alicea. "It's really tough to win when you can't get enough guys on base."

In 2008 Lexus released a minor facelift for its mid-size luxury sports sedan, the GS. With this occasion the Japanese brand rethought their marketing strategy as well, offering a new 4.6 V8 engine instead of the previous 4.3 and a new hybrid unit named 450h instead of the 350h. The car received a slightly restyled front apron, with lower intake design and a new chrome grille surround. Other features the 2008 GS boasts are the restyled tail lamps and side mirrors as well as new alloy wheels and uprated interior materials. The buttons on the center console were rearranged as well for improved ergonomics.

Sally Thompson, senior at Paducah Tilghman High School, likes to be in the middle of everything.
"I've never been the one to sit back," Thompson said. "I like to get involved and be right in the middle of things going on."
So she doesn't just serve as the varsity captain for the school's soccer team her senior year. Thompson supports her fellow athletes in the stands when the football team traveled to Bowling Green to play for a state title.
With her class work she studies hard and ranks in the top 10 percent of her class with a 3.8 grade-point average.
And when she joins the school's recycling club, she doesn't just help implement responsible trash collecting in the halls. Thompson brings it home, making her family sort out plastics and paper in a city with no recycling program of its own.
"We've implemented a lot of that stuff at home now," Thompson said. "We have a tub for each different thing."
Thompson, daughter of Mark and Gretchen Thompson, is the Murray State University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MSU Teen of the Week selected from nominees submitted by high school guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois. In May, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners, earning a $5,000 scholarship to Murray State. Teen of the Week is part of the Sun's Newspapers in Education program.
Thompson's coaches and teachers notice her level of involvement and achievement.
"(Sally's) dedication to the long term success of the Lady Tornado soccer team is evident in the fact that she has been a volunteer assistant coach for the middle school program for the past three years," said Christine Wynne, the school's science department chair.
The extra contribution, on top of being a junior varsity captain as a sophomore, helps make Thompson "a very well-rounded person in addition to being a strong student," Wynne said.
Thompson puts her artistic eye and writing skills to use as the editor of the school newspaper, "The Tilghman Bell." She's had artistic pieces featured in the Yeiser Art Gallery's "Teen Spirit" exhibit, and won a district first placed award in language arts at Governor's Cup last year.
She also serves as president of the Paducah city teen board, a community action group with Paducah Parks Services that sponsors community service projects and events.
Toss in a slew of clubs and part-time jobs, and Thompson's physics teacher, Alan Tucker, said it's impressive she keeps her grades so high.
"She deserves recognition," Tucker said. "I can say that she has been one of the best and hardest workers I have."
Thompson said she plans to attend the University of Kentucky in the fall, and possibly study marketing.

(Anyone who wants to know why he advised against this has to ask me privately. My significant other would sigh and say -- again -- "the triumph of hope over experience.") Villa Ragazzi won a silver medal, which some people would say is like kissing your sister or getting anything less than a 94 from certain wine critics. If we'd won a gold medal, all of you would have had a chance to taste this lovely wine at the Feb 18 tasting at Fort Mason. On the bright side, there were no higher awards for Napa Valley Sangiovese, and the "Best of" award for the pink wine category went to a Rosé of Sangiovese (not Pinot Noir, not Cabernet, not Grenache, not Merlot, not...anything else red) from Washington State. |

Entry Title: " An English Country Seat" Name: Justin Barton, United Kingdom Category: Professional, Interiors Entry Description: A country seat is the stately home of a member of the aristocracy. (The 'seat' in the city usually being in the House of Lords). English history has been in no small amount shaped by these residences, as well as their visitors and inhabitants. Today some remain as familial homes, steeped in duty and history, but they are often slow to be renovated under a Government system which allows only the most authentic, but costly approach. Sometimes, these provide a remarkable visual annal of forgotten moments.
Independent large format architectural and interiors photographer Justin Barton has worked at some of the finest estates in the UK. With a painterly style that echos the original images of the time the buildings were in their heyday, but with a modern compositional style.

Notable deaths of 2012
Image 107 of 161
Jim Marshall( Robert Knight Archive / Redferns / Getty Images / April 6, 2012 )
The creator of famed rock 'n' roll amplifiers, Jim Marshall provided the gritty roar for Jimi Hendrix, Motley Crue and even the fictional Spinal Tap. His amplification gear dominated rock stages since its introduction in the early 1960s, bestowing on guitarists the ability to achieve unprecedented volume and controlled distortion. He was 88.

"Celebrating the Past, Enjoying the Present, & Preparing For The Future."
Veterans Memorial at Choctaw
Paying Tribute To Those Who Served:
Military Retirees, Former Military, Guardsman, Reserves, DoD Civilians, and Those gone, but not forgotten.
The Veterans Memorial at Choctaw is planned to honor our service men and women of all time and to pay special tribute to those persons on the home front in defending our freedom. We have hundreds of people like Linni Hefner who went to work at Tinker Air Force Base at age 50, and continued to support our military until forced into retirement at age 70. A major fundraiser for this project will be the sale of Memorial Bricks. These Bricks will be placed in the Memorial Walls, to permanently remind our friends, family, and community, of the efforts made by each individual to protect our freedom.

X Files star Gillian Anderson is getting X-rated... with an eel?!
The actress has posed nude with just a large eel around her neck to support Fishlove, a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about collapsing fish stocks.
Aware his presence only puts Scully and William in jeopardy Mulder once again disappears ? but at least this time it is his own choice. A frustrated Agent Doggett tries to find Mulder so he can proceed with his investigation against Deputy Director Kersh, but Scully and Skinner finally convince him to drop his case.
After Mulder's disappearance, Scully returns to FBI headquarters to find Special Agent John Doggett heading up a FBI manhunt for her partner.
Mulder is missing and assumed dead although Scully experiences a vision in which he is still alive.
As Mulder lies in a neurological unit, his brain under attack by a deadly onslaught of electrical impulses, Scully struggles to decipher strange symbols covering a spacecraft found submerged off West Africa's Ivory Coast. But the connection between these two phenomena is just the first of many challenges the agents are destined to confront.

Hi, I am writing here for the first time i think, but am reading the forum for the while. I hope you can help me with your advices. I have a 16s2p lifepo4 battery pack and charger for it for a while. Until i didn't finished my frame i have not used them yet. Yesterday I tried to power charger to AC and look it makes voltage in the output or not. It didn't (o to be truthfully it gave ~2.3V). As I have finished first ebike for my dad with 8s1p pack and bought charger for it i know - even unloaded charger have voltage in the output. I think i have reversed polarity when tried to charge pack. I thought output have to be loaded to give more volts. When I turn it on the red power led lights, the red/green led is off, fan is working, output ~2V. I do not leave turned it on for a long time, because the capacitor exploded once after doing that. It is changed to new one now. Checking with voltmeter found few interesting thinks which are listed if comment of photos. I think there is somewhere error with charger logic, because i can find >+63V on board.
Where I have to start checking? There are some photos of charger.

The General Assembly is in the midst of passing the supplemental budget for fiscal 2009, and neither the plan submitted by the House Finance Committee nor Gov. Donald L. Carcieri received much positive reaction in the public eye.
With a shortfall of $370 million that must be made up in the next three months, there are no easy solutions. The question is, however, which plan offers the state the best chance of closing the deficit and causing the least harm – to the economy, to individuals, to businesses?
I lived in RI for 20 years, and until recently had hopes of moving back to the state. But this Legislature has made me realize the high improbability of this plan. Until the State Legislature deals with the foundational problem of an absurdly generous pension system, taxes will continue to be pushed down to municipalities (which have their own pensions issues to address) and the majority of taxpayers will find that they either (1) cannot afford to live in the state), or (2) do not wish to work long days into their senior years to support state and municipal pensioners who retired before the age of 60 at "salaries" that exceed far too many of the taxpayers' working wages. So they will move.
How long will it take, and how many thousands of people must leave -- before it becomes clear that the current (lack of a) plan is simply unsustainable for a state with (now less than) a million residents? If we need a plan to keep college grads in the state, it's simple -- take Mayor Laffey's advice and address the pension issue. Everything follows from there.
That being said, to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, and especially the elderly poor who lived in the state for their entire lives, and contributed to their communities, is almost criminal.
I agree whole-heartedly with Anita. What I find interesting is that when you look at your poll, the Governor's plan comes out way ahead. Polls are funny things - it could be that the readership is more slanted towards a conservative audience, or many other variables that are causing folks to vote that way in your poll. What I am hoping your results actually mean is that people are finally realizing that doing the same thing in the same way results in the same outcome. So, knowing that, and seeing where we are today, I have one request of my fellow RI'ers - Will the folks who voted for the criminals and self-aggrandizing buffoons that have infiltrated the RI political system, PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD and Rhode Island, VOTE THEM OUT in the next election?????!!!!!!!!
I am a life-long RI'er and I'll tell you right now, as much as I love Little Rhody as soon as my sons graduate from college, which is only a few years from now, I WILL be leaving if I don't see things starting to change. I'm doing my best trying to contribute to the economy in RI. I only buy local. I buy fruit/vegetables from RI farmers. I try at all times, to support RI owned businesses when I need something. I vote for the people that I believe will help change things - but every year, I get disappointed when I see RI'ers continue to keep voting for the same darn people year after year - I just don't get it. CHANGE comes from within - no amount of rhetoric from any politician (Mr. Obama included) will cause you to change - YOU have to decide that you CARE enough to change and help bring about change. If you do nothing to help change the political climate in this State, especially with one of the most powerful tools you have - YOUR VOTE - you will deserve everything that happens as a result.

Promenade Bolingbrook 'Community Day' empowers local nonprofit
BOLINGBROOK – The Promenade Bolingbrook staff knows a good organization when they see one.
Housing more than 75 retailers and restaurants in their mixed use shopping center, the Promenade Bolingbrook staff is accustomed to attracting and marketing large corporations. But, on July 17, eight Promenade employees spent the day giving back to a local nonprofit organization.
Every year since the Promenade opened in 2007, staff members have participated in "Community Day," an annual day of community service spearheaded by their corporate owners Forest City, Inc. – which recently announced that more than 1,000 of its associates completed service projects nationwide.

Not Knowing, Bearing Witness, & Compassionate Action
Robert Chodo Campbell and Koshin Paley Ellison
Robert Chodo Campbell and Koshin Paley Ellison co-founded the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care (zencare.org), the first Buddhist organization to offer fully accredited chaplaincy training in America. They co-developed and co-lead the Buddhist Track in the Master in Pastoral Care and Counseling degree program at New York Theological Seminary. In July 2013 they taught at BCBS on the Buddha's remembrances about aging, illness and death. In February 2014, they will teach Love, Compassion, and Intimacy: Experiential Teachings on the Heart Sutra. This article is based on their teachings July 21, 2013.
Chodo: We have taught three practices in this course, practices related to the Buddha's remembrances about illness, aging and death. The practices are not-knowing, bearing witness, and compassionate action. These are well suited to chaplaincy and hospice from a Buddhist perspective. But they are also well suited to our practice in life generally. They provide a bridge from formal practice to practice in daily life.
Koshin: From a Zen perspective, there isn't an independent nature. Yet, what I understand as a soul, as a Jungian, is our capacity to assign meaning to things. That very often we can get so caught in ourselves, and then hope, maybe that the Dharma will become like a big babysitter and take care of us and make everything OK. Or, that the Dharma will be a babysitter who will make us feel peaceful. It's this kind of capacity where we're still thinking that the outside is not inside. That it's only something from the outside that will come in and save the day like Ironman, like Superman, the Avengers. Yet that is a deprivation of allowing ourselves to be fully in the world. I think that the Buddha clearly stated that it's up to us to assign meaning in understanding and insight–that we can be amidst the world, flowing in the world, not separated.
I've met so many Dharma practitioners, so sincere, doing retreat after retreat, and then they get home and act like assholes. Practice can be used, in some ways, as a shell. How do we realize it, embody it, through our whole body and mind? So that it really is about every moment, about what happens when I leave the retreat? Who cares about Zen? This is a small retreat. Out in the world is a great retreat. Or maybe we could say, "It's an awesome retreat."
These kinds of small retreats are very important. But the great retreat is in the midst of our lives, in our relationships, walking down the street, ordering an espresso, falling in the house, stubbing your toe–those moments.
One of the ways we work with this is by looking at ethics. I serve on the ethics committee in the hospital for example. But another way, in our tradition, is looking at our own experience. So it's not like a commandment in our tradition. In other traditions, sometimes actually even in Buddhism, it's felt as "Thou shalt not"–don't do it.

Other Pets at Shelter |
Ruff Ruff! My name is Hunter
found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Other Pets at Shelter...
Hunter's Info...
Rescue Group: Adopt A Golden Knoxville - White River Junction, VT
Breed: | Golden Retriever | Color: | Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut | Age: | Adult |
Size: | Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg) | Sex: | Male |
I am 5 years old and I was given up because my owner no longer had use for me. I use to be a stud dog but I am so glad that I am with AGK because they told me they would find a home for me. I really like to play ball like other golden retrievers. Oh and I really HATE being left alone - I tend to rearrange your house if you do that to me. So I really want to live with a family who is home a lot and will take me places. Oh and hey - I really like to chase cats. They remind me of those squirrels so I guess if you have a cat, I might not be a good fit. Oh - yeah - I am healthy too!
If you are interested, please go to our website at http://www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org/new_england.html to find out more about adopting Hunter.
NOTE: Adopt A Golden Knoxville rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in your area. These dogs are fostered in private homes in East Tennessee. Therefore, it is not possible to meet the dogs and pups prior to their adoption. They are brought up north on a USDA transporter.

High Fantasy has fallen out of favour as new sub-genres have merged, but Joanne from our Charing Cross Road branch suggests that it still has much to offer those who love epic storytelling.
The literary achivements of English, Scottish and Irish writers are recognised worldwide, but beyond Dylan Thomas, the literature of Wales is perhaps not so celebrated beyond its borders. Author and Foyles bookseller Rhian Jones explores the country's rich literary heritage and wealth of contemporary talent worth investigating.
The internationallly bestselling author of The Swarm, Frank Schätzing, explains why his new futuristic thriller, Limit, isn't science fiction in any way.
