Rooting against Big Papi, Bill Simmons once said, is like giving up on Santa Claus. But we all abandon Santa at some point, and the process is rarely belabored. I heard from a number of people who were torn, with each successive Ortiz , about whether to wish for a home run--which could be presumed to buy him I Love You drop pendant time on the roster, prolonging the agony--or a strikeout. "You know, the two home runs don't convince me, fellas." So said Donna, a sixty-one-year-old talk-radio caller who insisted that her love of Ortiz and the Sox was unsurpassed. "I've got the DVDs from the '04, the '07, the Yankees series, the whole bit." The two homers in question--Ortiz's second and third of the season--arrived in the same game, but against the lowly Orioles, and revived the notion, used by some to explain the late power surge last season, that his sole capability lay in exploiting bad pitching.

Similarly dismissible, then, was No. 4, which came the night after the epic failure against the Angels, because the Los Angeles starter had made the curious mistake of throwing an offspeed pitch--one that Ortiz pushed the other way, over the Green Monster in left. This could have been interpreted as evidence that Ortiz wasn't cheating as much as was suspected, but we were too deep into the farewell Paloma by this point. ("Watch the replay," one of the Sam Horn cynics advised. "He was late on the swing and got lucky because it was a changeup.") That Monster shot fell on the occasion of a slightly awkward homecoming for the former face of the franchise, Nomar Garciaparra, who was unceremoniously cast off in a trade in the summer of 2004, and thus deprived of the parades and the shedding of all that regional angst. "You don't think about that as a player, having a night like this," Garciaparra told his former press-corps antagonists before throwing out the first pitch. "I had no control over leaving."

"Tonight, we'll really find out," a longtime Brookline resident told me a few days later, before settling in for a game against the Yankees and their bright-armed starter Phil Hughes. Ortiz soon fanned, seeming to confirm the prediction, but then Paloma's Grown of Heart bangle us all to our feet in the fourth, when he pulled a ninety-m.p.h. fastball high and deep to right. "Warning-track power," Mr. Brookline declared, after New York's Nick Swisher had hauled it in at the edge of the outfield grass. Still, it was far enough to score the runner from third on a tag, and in his next trip up Ortiz ripped an R.B.I. single through the middle on another fastball, low and away--the pitch, he had just told me, he was having the toughest time with. These small successes, defiantly inconclusive, were hard to appreciate, as they represented pauses in the countdown when what we wanted was acceleration or reversal.

Reversal is what we got, gradual at first ("It just doesn't happen the way people think it's Paloma's X earrings to happen, from one day to another," Ortiz told me), and then stunning, although identifying precise moment of the resurrection will not be easy. When the Sox left Boston for Detroit in mid-May, Ortiz was carrying a five-game hitting streak, an almost DiMaggian feat, considering where he'd been, but he had only just broken .200 and was still striking out nearly half the time.

With its high elevation Buxton seemed the perfect place to cure pulmonary complaints, and later to heal the injured in die two world wars. Today it is a campus of the University of Derby, which welcomes visitors to take advantage of the work. Those training to be aesrheticians operate a spa in the old hydrotherapy Tiffany Sevillana Set, while the restaurateurs of the future offer gourmet lunches at very low prices in an elegant restaurant just under the dome.

When the Victorians were being cured in the Devonshire or in one of the baths, they spent their time strolling the 23-acre Pavilion Gardens, still massed with flowers and dotted with duck ponds. From 1903 onwards they could also listen to opera in Buxton's Opera House. Recently redecorated with all the cherubs, flowers and rococo golden swags that an opera house absolutely needs, it offers an opera season, a Gilbert and Sullivan season and a regular schedule of musical and dramatic events.

Buxton is in the White Peak - which is actually pale-gray and called after the underlying limestone from which most of its buildings are made. Driving from it to Castleton, one of Tiffany Nature Daisy Earrings and Necklace Set many villages that are honeypots for visitors, you pass through landscape that rapidly changes from bosky to sere and stark as you move into the Dark Peak, so-named after the blackish gritstone that lies beneath, and that provides the local building material.

Castleton is famous for Blue John - a unique kind of fluorite with bands of beige, apricot, mauve and purple. Large pieces mined long ago were used for decorative urns, the most beautiful of them on display in Chatsworth House. Today, only narrow veins remain, and the mineral is mostly made into small ornaments or set in earrings and pendants. Visitors can go down into the Blue John Cavern, where streaks of the precious mineral will be pointed out. Other show caves Dove Pendent Necklace and Earrings Set Castleton include Speedwell Cavern, Peak Cavern and Treak Cavern, also a Blue John source.

With its little market square and ancient church, Castleton is tucked under 12th-century Peveril Castle. It's a steep walk up to the castle ruins, but one that most reasonably fit visitors can manage. This area has lots of other walks, making Castleton a center for both casual ramblers and serious hikers and climbers.

Because Castleton, Buxton and other Peak District towns such as Bakewell and Ashbourne preserve their 1837 Collection Lock Necklace Set architecture, it's easy to imagine them in days gone by: Castleton a mining and farming village, Buxton as a fashionable spa and Bakewell as an agricultural center thronged with farm folk coming to market - as they still do. But in Tissington no effort of the imagination is needed to see life continuing as it has done for centuries.

* The abortion lobby's ongoing war against crisis-pregnancy centers, which provide women with assistance so they can keep their babies, has come to Maryland. Lobbying by Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan and Maryland Pro-Choice America resulted in the Baltimore City Council and the Montgomery County Council (in Engine-turned money clip Maryland) passing legislation that imposes new restrictions on crisis-pregnancy centers. The Baltimore law requires crisis-pregnancy centers to post signs that say they do not provide abortion services. The Montgomery County law requires crisis-pregnancy centers to post signs informing visitors that a licensed medical professional is not on staff and that the county health department advises seeking a licensed health-care provider. Thomas Schetelich, the chairman of the board of the Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns, told the Washington Times, "No other Figure Eight pendant is required to do this." Schetelich, who is a lawyer, also pointed out that at his law office he is not required "to put on my wall what services I do not provide."

The Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Centro Tepeyac Women's Center, a crisis-pregnancy center operated by the Catholic Church in Silver Spring, Maryland, are now challenging the laws separately in federal court. "The government cannot create special speech rules just because people want to talk about pregnancy choices," Mark Rienzi, lead counsel for Centro Tepeyac and a professor at Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law, told the Washington Times. "And it certainly cannot target pro-life speakers for special sign requirements and fines while leaving speech by abortion clinics Frank Gehry Fish toggle bracelet unregulated. This new regulation violates every core principle of free speech law."

Pro-abortion groups have argued for decades that such regulations are needed to prevent crisis-pregnancy centers from "misleading women." In fact, crisis-pregnancy centers take money away from abortion providers and their lobbyists by helping women keep their babies. What pro-abortion groups are really doing is trying to use the government's power to force out competitors and intimidate political opponents.

* The Catholic News Agency reports that the Pontifical Council for Culture "has Heart Clover Pendant that it is creating a foundation to focus on relations with and agnostics. The president of the Council announced the initiative ... as a response to Pope Benedict's call to 'renew dialogue with men and women who don't believe but want to move towards God.'" It's good to know that Pope Benedict's tireless ecumenical efforts now have been extended to those who espouse the faith of atheism.
