Taverne Curiosa: Dine in the cellar ...
The meeting being a farewell meeting, I chose Belgian food. I worked out my *** to find the restaurant that would fit everyone (budget, opening hours). Checked VT pages and found this. It has the adantage to open the whole afternoons and evenings. Not expensive and approved by the crew.
It's located Vlamingstraat, a famous street from a historicat point of view (saw that over the net). It occupies cellars of past centuries (16th ? 17th ?). I was afraid of claustrophobia but it was OK. We had this table in a room, we were alone there. Nice !
Ambience: the other rooms were packed by locals and tourists alike.
For budget travellers, I'd advise such places since it was a much needed warmth after the walk in the wet cold.
Favorite Dish: I only ate there once, my Vlaamse Stoof (carbonnates flamandes) was correct, I prefer their fries most.
Seems everybody was satisfied, except one person whose meat smelled badly. How can a beef meat smell like fish sauce ? I sat next to him and could really smell it. Well...
My dish being cooked with beer, I had sparkling water for the rest of the lunch. No wine (thought of it, though, being about to dine in a cellar) but I had a peach beer as aperitive.
Bill was about 16 euro (12 euro for the dish).

Taverne Curiosa: Back to the Middle Ages
Eating local Belgian food for a fair price, that is what you will be served here.
You have choices between stew, made with beer, rabbit, or something with fish?
Every dish was nice.
Favorite Dish: I went here a couple of times, but only one time I left right away and that was when there was quite some cigarette smoke.
This is so annoying.
They have a space for non-smokers near the bar/kitchen but don't let it fool you: it is in the same room as the smokers and there are members of the restaurant who are smoking at the same spot.
It is a pity.
I would have given them maybe a 4 but I reduce it with one start because of the lack of comfort for non-smokers.
They have a good choice of beers!
Monday - Friday from 11 am to 1 am
Saturday from 11 am till 2 am
Sunday from noon till midnight
Kitchen is opened till 1 hour before closing time.
You don't need to take a reservation but it is recommended.
You are welcome with groups.
This cosy restaurant and tavern is located in a 16th century cellar. Watch out, though, when entering, the steps leading down from the street are extremely steep.
Favorite Dish: On the menu, you'll find some typical Belgian meals, such as mussels, vol-au-vent and flemish carbonade but also some veggie dishes.

Taverne Curiosa: This is one of the best in the mid-price range
Dominated by seafood (as most restaurants are in Brugge) but one of the better ones I've been too.
We had a nice meal here in slightly livelier surroundings. I would recommend it if you want something fairly traditionally Belgian but with a menu you can understand and a good atmosphere.
Favorite Dish: I've eaten here a couple of times and can certainly recommend the scampi in garlic (actually king prawn). The steaks are great but the Ostrich (not very belgian!) steak was fantastic.

Taverne Curiosa: Nice location
In my opinion the dishes weren't anything special, good but nothing special. The location is really great, though. There were many people inside so we had to wait a little also. What I still remember is the blond lady who entered ;)
Taverne Curiosa: Good but pricey
Taverne Curiosa is located downstairs from Vlamingstraat. The restaurant is built into a 16th century cellar which makes it rather nice.
The food is Belgian, prices are a bit higher than I like but still ok (considering you're very close to the main square). There are more fish dishes than meat dishes here so come if you like fish (which I don't really!)
There are set menus available here as well for a reasonable price.
Staff was rather friendly ... at the beginning! After a while they weren't too amused with us because for an hour we reserved the only free table they had left for our unpunctual VT friends (who showed up eventually and had no friendly word left for this place... ).
Favorite Dish: I had "1/2 Kip in de oven gebakken" which was very nice. Great spices surrounded this half chicken. And it was served with nice Belgian frites!
Taverne Curiosa: midevil cellar
In taverna curiosa you can have a snack or a good meal for a reasonable price.
The taverna is located in a midevil cellar. And although the picture looks like it is on a slope it is really nice to sit there.
Favorite Dish: The fishsoup was just great. You have to order it with two though.
Taverne Curiosa: Much Better In 2002
I think things are better now - unless it was just because we had "expert guides" - but we did manage to find much more veggie food in 2002.
We ate at this cellar bar "Taverne Curiosa" with Helga and Walter, though it was actually a third friend Filip who showed us this place originally.
It's a nice place with some good food in a very cosy and quite "romantic" setting.
Favorite Dish: I had veggie spaghetti. Not as good (by a long way) as Don Camillos in Hoegaarden, but still very nice.
Susan had warm goats cheese salad, which was lovely.
I won't tell you what Walter & Helga had ;-)

Yes, since you say "after a few milliseconds" & assuming you did not
specify a timestamp in the Put request which is earlier than the one row
had before delete was issued.
I have been bitten by this in my unit tests, doing a delete followed by a
put quickly. But in my case timestamp was within same millisecond. See

Amanda R. Dunbar is one of the nation's most dynamic young artists, who uses her art to change lives. She began painting in an after-school class at the age of 13 and had her first solo exhibition in Dallas at age 16. Since then her paintings have been displayed in galleries and museums worldwide.
Dunbar earned a B.F.A. in art history, cum laude with departmental distinction, from Meadows School of the Arts in 2004 and is completing requirements for an M.A. in art history at Meadows. She also has studied in France, earning a post-baccalaureate degree in art. Her works include rich landscapes, characterized by thick textures and powerful strokes, and a wide range of abstract, figurative and conceptual art. But her art also opens vistas of human potential, especially for children. With proceeds from her painting sales, she formed a charitable organization to fund arts programs for young children. Her concern for the needs of children also led to her designation as ambassador to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and service with other organizations such as the World Craniofacial Foundation.
Dunbar became the youngest woman and the first painter to be inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame in 2006. Among her widespread national media coverage, she was named "Person of the Week" on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson in 2007.

Two of my favorite condiments are served beside sushi. First, it's that pleasantly hot and spicy wasabi. Second is the pickled ginger. I could eat that ginger on just about anything. It has crossed my mind that I could probably make it at home, but I never ventured to seek out a good recipe. Fortunately, now I don't have to because this time around a good recipe found me.
All summer I have been browsing the pages of one amazing cookbook. It contains recipes for pickled everything! Or at least it seems like just about everything. The Joy of Pickling: 250 Flavor-Packed Recipes for Vegetables and More from Garden or Market by Linda Ziedrich has proven to me that I knew very little about the potential of pickling.
While you will find a huge variety of cucumber pickles, this cookbook goes well beyond the standard dill. Figs. You can pickle figs?! And peaches? There is even pickled pig's ear should you choose to go there. There is also page after page of interesting condiments and sauces like Hot Orange Ketchup and Rhubarb Chutney.
There were so many tempting recipes to try in this book, but I knew I finally had to give Japanese Pickled Ginger a try. The best part about many pickling recipes is that they are so easy to make. Top a few fruits or veggies with a liquid, seal and rest. A few days later you have a crisp, tangy snack or condiment.
That is definitely the case with this ginger. Peeling and slicing takes a little time, but I had this recipe done in less than 30 minutes. Now that I have the ginger down, it may be time to start practicing the sushi.
This book has been out for a while now and I'm so glad that it finally caught my attention. I can tell it will become a well-used resource book for me every year. If you are spending late summer and early fall wondering what to do with all your garden produce, the chances are good that you can pickle it. This cookbook will show you how.
Japanese Pickled Ginger
©Linda Ziedrich 2009. Reprinted with permission from The Harvard Common Press.
Makes: About 1 Pint
From the book:
Use fresh young ginger for this pickle. Available in Asian markets, young ginger is pale, almost white with very thin skin and pink stem stubs. A mandolin may be useful for slicing the root.
Your pickled ginger may turn out faintly pink, but it won't have the hot pink color you'll see in commercial versions of this pickle, that color comes from food dye.
A traditional accompaniment to sushi, pickled ginger refreshes the palate and cleanses the mouth of fishy tastes.
1 quart water
½ pound fresh ginger, sliced paper thin
1 teaspoon plus a sprinkle of pickling salt
1 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon light (usukuchi) Japanese soy sauce
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan and add the ginger. Bring the water back to a boil and then drain the ginger well in a colander. Let the ginger cool.
Put the ginger into a bowl and sprinkle the ginger lightly with salt.
In a saucepan, bring to a boil the vinegar, the sugar, the 1 teaspoon salt, and the soy sauce, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour the hot liquid over the ginger, mix well.
Store the ginger in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. It will be ready to use in a day or two and will keep for several months, at least.
Disclosure: This cookbook was sent to me for review purposes by The Harvard Common Press. I was not required to post about it and I received no compensation for doing so.

Jacksonville Opera Theatre has arranged for Anniston to receive a visit from internationally-acclaimed opera singer Michael Chioldi tomorrow night.
The 43-year-old baritone will be performing at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Anniston at 7:30 p.m.
"This is probably the most decorated singer we've ever had," said director of operatic activities Dr. Nathan Wight in an interview. "To have someone coming who's won an Emmy, that's really impressive."
Chioldi is a guest of Dr. Wight, whom he knows personally: the two men met back in 1992, when they both worked as apprentices for the Santa Fe Opera Company.
"I've watched his career since then and just asked him if he would come and do me a favor," said Dr. Wight.
Jacksonville Opera Theatre has hosted performances by visiting opera singers for students of JSU before—Metropolitan Opera baritone Aubrey Allicock performed most recently in January 2011.
Soprano Amber Wagner, who also sings with the Metropolitan Opera, came to Jacksonville back in 2008.
Neither artist can match the fame of Chioldi, who has lit up the stages of America's most popular opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, Houston Grand Opera, and the Washington National Opera.
"It's a unique opportunity for students that they may never get at this university again. It's never happened before," said Wight.
Chioldi currently lives in New York City, but frequently travels outside the country for performances in countries like Brazil, France and Japan.
He most recently appeared as Giorgio Germont in the Palm Beach Opera's production of "La Traviata."
When asked why Chioldi's performance would take place in Anniston rather than on campus, Dr. Wight explained that the University just doesn't have anywhere suitable to host the singer.
"There is no real concert venue at this university, which is kind of ridiculous for a school of this size and a music department of this caliber," he said.
While the music department does have a performance center located in Mason Hall, Dr. Wight says that it's far from adequate; he described it as a "shell of a room with paint on the walls."
"We essentially slapped lipstick on a pig," he said.
Any and all interested are welcome at the concert—admission is free, though donations to help cover the cost of the artist's performance will be collected.

The Californians had worked as title officers for Lender Processing Services, a giant Jacksonville, Fla., firm that helps banks and mortgage servicers generate legal documents.

Regular readers of this column will know that I consider Aug. 1 to be the real New Year's day because it is the start of high school football practice.
That notwithstanding, the fall is the most thrilling, energetic time of year for me. Football is in full swing for people of all ages, from Mighty Mites to the NFL, professional baseball is entering its elongated post season and hockey is about to begin. Like so many around these parts, I'm a recent convert to hockey and I'm a casual enough fan that I'm actually still learning the rules in some cases and I haven't trained my eye to keep up with the puck when it's fired like shot from a cannon.
For people who's definition of sport doesn't include a ball or a puck, bow-season is underway and hunters who like to use their own guns can see the beginning of deer season in the not-too-distant future.
And, if sports isn't your cup of tea at all, fall is still a fabulous time. Cooler temperatures make it possible to sit on the front porch without wiping sweat off your brow nonstop. The sky, for some reason, is a crisp, never-ending patch of blue.
Fall also means the end of grass-cutting season is drawing near. That dreaded, miserable job brought me my first few dollars as teenager when I took over for my friend Dean Morrell the task of cutting the grass for the two widow ladies who lived next door to us and across the street.
My brother and I shared that job for several summers. Mrs. Watson's yard was smaller and largely devoid of landscaping that caused us to be careful as we cut. We could get out there, run the mower back and forth for an hour and be done. Mrs. Veazey's yard, though, was a different matter. Heavily landscaped with lots of different flowers, none of which I could identify, Mrs. Veazey's yard was always a challenge. And, Mrs. Veazey was an exacting employer. She would walk through her yard after we were finished to inspect our work. More often than not, we had failed to cut the grass underneath a low-hanging bush, or we might not have cut the ditch as neatly as she would have liked. We had to fix that before we got paid.
One year, my brother and I decided that the $5 per week we got for cutting Mrs. Veazey's grass was not really worth the effort. Somehow, we mustered up the courage to tell her we were going to have to raise her bill to $7 per week. She took it in stride and continued to expect good workmanship from us.
I remember thinking then that I would be able to stop cutting grass once my own children came of age to cut the grass. I didn't realize then that my children would one day leave home and I would be relegated to cutting the grass again. That time hasn't come yet, but it creeps closer as every grass-cutting season ends. Still, the first frost is much anticipated around our house and as temperatures drop, my children yearn for the first frost.
Taken in altogether and there's plenty of reason to believe autumn is the perfect time of year.

Yanks still facing heat over DL useBy
Oh, to be Jayson Stark. To have unfettered discretion to reprint anonymous quotes from league officials without any repercussions. To use those anonymous quotes as a smoke screen for personal opinions about other teams.
Today's Jayson Stark/anonymous column concerns questionable uses of the DL by certain teams throughout the Majors. It features "disgruntled American League execs" slamming the Yankees and Red Sox for their liberal uses of the DL.
"The day before he" — meaning Chien-Ming Wang — "went on the DL," the said disgruntled American League exec told Stark, "he said, 'I'm healthy. I want to start tomorrow.' And the next day, he was placed on the disabled list. It's a little strange, don't you think?"
In response, Stark gets Brian Cashman on the record to explain the Yanks' thoughts on Wang. The Yanks had A-Rod's hip doctor look at Wang, and that hip doctor determined that Wang's hip was not up to snuff. "I don't really care what anybody on the outside thinks," Cashman said. "If I have a doctor who tells me a player has to do physical therapy and it could take him up to six weeks to do it, that's not 'convenient.' The fact is, we need our No. 2 starter, but we need to get him right."
Stark questions the Mets' placing Oliver Perez on the DL with a knee issue and the Tigers' decision to put Dontrelle Willis on the DL with psychological problems. In each case, the critique is the same: What exactly is wrong with these players that warrants a trip to the DL?
Stark ends his piece by asking some other anonymous officials if this is actually cheating. The answer appears to be a resounding not. "What the hell are the Yankees supposed to with a guy like Wang?" a GM said to Stark. "He's 0-3 and giving up 15 [runs] a game. What are the Tigers supposed to do with Dontrelle? They know he can't make the team, so what are you gonna do? They've got millions of dollars invested in the guy. So you put him on the DL, and if the commissioner's office doesn't like it, they can call you a no-good liar."
Another General Manager echoed those sentiments. "I know they're not all legit," one GM said. "But I'll be honest. I don't find that to be hard-core cheating — because the player's got to be willing to do it. If the player's willing to go on there, it means the player knows he's not right. Whether it's physical, mental or mechanical, something's wrong — and there's no other way around the rules."
All in all, this has been one long much ado about nothing. Chien-Ming Wang is not right. Oliver Perez is not right. Dontrelle Willis is not right. These players have to go somewhere, and they have been, at various point this season, disabled. When they are right and healthy, they will be activated. That's the bottom line.

Jayson Stark has a long history of an anti-Yankee agenda, though this wasn't as much of a smear job as some of his other work. At least he included 2 other teams with them in this gossip column. That's really all this was, a gossip column about DL usage.
I've found myself not reading anything Stark writes anymore. It makes for a much happier existence.
It's amazing that this becomes a big issue only when the Yanks are involved. Teams have been pulling this sh*t for years, yet the Jayson Starks of the world kept their righteous indignation in check until now. Funny.
And you know what? Accuse me of being a homer on this one, but I don't think the Yankees can even be considered a bad offender in this area (relative to how other teams have done this stuff). Sure, CMW has been, technically, healthy enough to take the mound. Did he meet some sort of minimum health level? Sure, I guess so. But, in this particular case, CMW was coming off of a major injury that ended his prior season. Is it really so outrageous that a player working his way back from injury maybe should not have been back in MLB yet and might need some more rehabilitation time, and that such rehab time be achieved through use of the DL? I don't think so.
This is not the first time teams have used the DL in somewhat questionable circumstances and for somewhat questionable purposes, but nobody took notice or had a problem with it before now because it didn't fit their agenda. Nobody wants to slam the Tigers or the Red Sox but the Yankees? Now that's a nice, popular, page-view inducing target.
Not to hijack the thread into PED's, but these jerk writers were muhjaculating all over McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and all the rest of the homer guys in the '90s, and then when the PEDs started making news, they turned on their heroes like a pack of wolves.
Anti-Yankee sentiment will never go away. It's been around since I've been watching baseball, you just learn to deal with it. What makes me sick is when "journalists" engage in it, and are never called on it, especially by their peers.
The ESPN baseball crowd is a bunch of jerks.
I'm very happy to see the MLB Network in existence. Together with MLB Radio (Home Plate), hopefully it can help put ESPN in its rightful place as an afterthought as far as baseball coverage is concerned.
jayson stark……what the hell happened to you mang
he gets an oaktag for life!
I would like to see OAKTAG in all caps whenever it's used now, for emphasis!
"The day before he" — meaning Chien-Ming Wang — "went on the DL," the said disgruntled American League exec told Stark, "he said, 'I'm healthy. I want to start tomorrow.' And the next day, he was placed on the disabled list. It's a little strange, don't you think?"
A player saying he wants to play quantifies his health? So was A-Rod's hip healthy in September last year, Johan's knee? Schilling's leg in '04? BJ Upton most of last year?
Just because a player can go out and play doesn't mean their health nor that they shouldn't be on the DL.
schilling was fine,that was food coloring
Sherwin. Williams.
color: red oaktag
still dont have tix for tonight's game, getting nervous
If I was Chein Ming Wang's agent, I'd be telling him to always say he's healthy pretty much at all times, even when he's injured. You can admit to injury after the fact, once you're pitching well again, but for negotiating purposes you want to do anything possible to contribute to a reputation as an injury-free bulldog who doesn't make excuses* and always wants to take the hill. Players get lionized for "gutting it out" and "playing through pain".
It's probably in the player's best long-term interest to lie up front and force the team to take him out of the lineup than to admit injury and ask out of the lineup. Which is why, as Stark himself noted in the article when quoting Bobby Cox, PLAYERS OFTEN LIE ABOUT THE EXTENT OR PRESENCE OF THEIR INJURIES.
* This is tied to the larger discussion we're having about the thin difference between excuses and explanations. They're virtually identical, but one is perceived as the crutch of the weak and one is perceived as the justification of the reasoned. Better for Wang to try to explain his injuries in the past tense than to use his injuries as an excuse in the present tense.
Why does nobody bring up Daiske? Granted, I didn't read the whole article but I did a search for his name and came up with nothing. He said he felt fine and wanted to pitch. That happened before CMW.
"Arm fatigue" that leads to 9 runs per inning is apparently very different from "weak hips" that leads to 9 runs per inning.

because he plays for boston. where have u been the past decade???
That was my first thought when I read the article last night.
Not a single peep about Boston. Dice K and Wang are on the DL for the same reason – suckiness. But at least Wang has a justifiable injury claim to tie his suckiness too, he was actually injured and actually placed on the actual DL last year, and his suckiness may in fact seriously be connected to that injury.
What the hell is the matter with Matsuperipheralka?
I was listening to The Show yesterday on MLB Radio and Dibble was ripping into ESPN for this story, saying this has been going on for years and ESPN is lame for pulling it out now and making it sound like an original idea that they had. He and Jody also thought it was a non-issue and teams have the right to disable their players if they have serious problems hampering their performance, be they physical or mental. FWIW (not much), I agree with them.
Dibble gets some credit for that
nasty boy rob dibble. taking it to the streets. rock on
his costar on his radio show should be norm charlton. reunite the nasty boys from the big red mahcine!
Yeah, they should reunite the Cincinnati Nasty Boys: Rob Dibble, Norm Charlton, and… and that other guy!
(Seriously, it took me like a good 5 minutes of thinking to pull "Randy Myers" out of my cerebral cortex. The guy pitched here, in this city, for some damn good Mets teams and he's still the most easily forgettable of the three.
It's like the Mets Generation K: Jason Isringhausen, Bill Pulsipher, and good old' whats-his-name.)
Paul Wilson?
(It was rhetorical, though. )
the funny thing is out of all of them i feel pulsipher owuld be the least memorable as he did…what exactly? at least wilson put together a few league average yrs in cincinatti and izzy has been a serviceable closer for awhile now. didnt wilson also close for a bit at some point?
and pulsipher, didnt he deliver pizzas?
Pulsipher: 46 starts, 327 IP, 83 ERA+
Wilson: 153 starts, 941 IP, 88 ERA+
Yup. Wilson was unquestionably the less sucky of the two. But, his name is boring and average. "Pulsipher" sticks in the brain. This is also why "Joba Chamberlain" probably gets pilloried for his fist pumping and "Fransisco Rodriguez" is ignored.
Oh, btw: Isringhausen: 907 IP, 117 ERA+
Sorry, ran out of coffee in the house today….I'm not exactly having a sharp Friday…

Maybe you should go on the DL.
Boston has been doing this for years. Teams do it all the time. It's pretty pathetic that there is a story now. I guess he didn't have anything else to write about.
Does anyone know where to find the rules of DL usage? I don't know what the official rules are. Being that it is called the 'disabled list,' you would think it has plenty of room for interpretation as opposed to the 'physically unable to perform' list.
All of these players could play, but they needed to rehab their skills. I don't see how that is automatically in violation of anything. Especially Wang, who just missed 4 months of a season. If this happened last September, the Yankees would've said, "He says he feels fine, but he did just miss 4 months," and there would be no argument.
I will always wonder what MSM would've said had the Yankees done what the Red Sox did with Shilling in '04. That was a highly invasive surgery–it was bad for the long-term health of the player, and it was a bad precedent for the sport. Had it been a Yankees' player, it probably would've been wildly panned as cheating.
can you tell me what MSM stands for ?
thank you
Mainstream media.
ty, ty
I have found that certain people have an irrational hatred of the Yankees, and it makes them say the most idiotic things. To me, it feels like a drug. Something that makes otherwise rational people say irrational things.
When a sports journalist runs with a ridiculous story like Wang being put on the DL, there are only two possibilities: The writer is suffering from Yankee Hatred Dementia (TM, I Remember Celerino Sanchez, 2009), or he/she is seeking to feed red meat to the Yankee Hatred Dementia masses.
As an aside, love the quote from the GM: "What the hell are the Yankees supposed to with a guy like Wang?" Simple truth.
Here, Celerino, I've got all those cool diacritical marks and special characters at my fingertips, let me help you out.
The writer is suffering from Yankee Hatred Dementia®™.

(Note: Ken Singleton's wife's blog is a proud member of the YES Network® Blogging Network©).
Holy crap! I had no idea Mrs. Singie had a blog.
YHD… I love it.
The next step is to set up a website to raise money for it. Who should be our first poster boy?
In light of this thread, it would have to be Stark.
Yawn. What a non-story.
I think it's probably a little bit of both. The Yankees probably knew Wang wasn't strong enough coming back from the lisfranc, but they decided to move along anyway. When he tanked, they realized this just wasn't going to work.
I don't really think of this as some nefarious scheme to abuse the DL. Maybe it's a little questionable, but Wang definitely wasn't right physically and needed time on the DL.
The same could be said for Perez. He wasn't quite right physically; they tried, he failed, so they get him back in shape on the DL.
Is there really any veil on Willis? They came right out and said it was mental, and not physical. If the league allows a DL trip for anxiety, then they're playing by the rules.
- Wang is coming of a season ending injury from last year.
- D Willis was on the DL almost all of 2008
- Oli Perez? I got nothing really…
DICE K ?????????? Where is he on the list of players specifically discussed.
Wang was one of the main pitchers he discussed in the article, though not bashing him too bad. BUT NO MENTION OF DICE K or the RED SOX. He is the #1 shady DL stint guy the last TWO years with "Arm Fatigue". Yeah, he aint pitching well, so , ummm, yeah his arm has some fatigue so he's going down? What the F is up with Leaving him off the list, yet along not at the top of the article.
Why can't teams just send players to the minors, for rehab, without using the disabled list? I've heard about "options," is there a limited number of times you can send a player to the minor leagues?
Answer to my own question, sort of:
So you can only send players to the minors for 3 seasons, basically, sometimes 4. Sounds like a players union contract thingie. I guess it makes sense…does it?
Wang is out of options. An "option" is used when a player on the 40-man roster is sent to the minors. Once an option is used one year, the team can freely send that same player between the majors and minors as many times as it pleases (i.e. only one option can be burned per year, the term "option" really refers to the season, not the particular transaction).
(or see wikipedia or the actual MLB rules, which are available online)
Because if you send a guy down there and he still stinks you would never bring said player back up again. And no player would sign up for that.
Yeah, the Dice-K non-mention sheds a lot of light on Stark's intent IMO. Either way, it's a dumb story because everybody knows teams use the DL in this manor and that it's happened for a long, long time. Almost any GM who cries foul on this is a hypocrite.
Every team uses the DL to get players with issues time to fix their issues. If anyone saw Wang pitch this yr and walked away saying he was himself they are morons.
Wang is coming off MAJOR surgery. How fake could this really be? Now someone want to tell me what "injury" Dice K or Perez or Willis have?
call the fucker the inactive list and play ball; the game is on the field…suits, sources, scribes, scouts are all asspains

Half-Life 2 delayed
We knew it was going to happen, didn't we? We were just deluding ourselves, hoping beyond hope that it wouldn't be so. But now it's official and we can hide from the truth no longer. Half-Life 2 has been delayed until the festive season - 'about December', for the non-festive among you.
Developer Valve made the official announcement last night, a week ahead of the original release date. Doug Lombardi, Valve Marketing Director, drew the short straw:
The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific 'in-store' date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.
There is still some hope of a Steam-powered demo being released in advance of the full launch - and at least Valve now have a little more time to iron out the obvious 'creases' from Steam - their content delivery system which seems likely to be the first place where the sequel will be made available.
More as we get it.

Courier sports writer
---- — OTTUMWA —For the first time in a long while, the 1963 Ottumwa football team graced Schafer Stadium where the players and coaches were honored Friday during the heralded squad's 50-year reunion.
The members of the mythical team with the unblemished 9-0 record entered Schafer Stadium behind this season's incarnation of the Ottumwa Bulldogs. New school met old school to pay homage to the copious amount of accomplishments the '63 Bulldogs compiled on the gridiron 50 years ago. After they entered the stadium to rousing cheers from the Ottumwa faithful the former Bulldogs settled into their reserved seats in front of the press box. When halftime arrived, the coaches and players were officially introduced to heartfelt applause from the crowd.
"It was awesome, it really was," former Ottumwa player Doug Piper said. "The planning they had for the whole thing was just awesome. It was quite a deal."
What really stuck with former Ottumwa player Dennis Emanuel was the warm reception he and his teammates received from Ottumwa's students.
"They were so nice," he said. "They gave us a standing ovation. It was so moving. The student body was just awesome."
The venerable old team had plenty of time this past weekend to wax nostalgic about the potpourri of memories that were sandwiched into that magical 9-0 season.
"We all got to spent time together and tell lies and the whole nine yards," Piper joked.
"We went over a lot of old times," Bob Wilkerson said. "Everybody had a good time."
At one point during the weekend, Wilkerson said 15 to 20 team members, including their head coach Gary Grouwinkel, powwowed at his house to reminisce about old times.
"They stood around and told stories for quite a little while," he said.
After the Bulldogs of the yesteryear got to watch the Bulldogs of today pick up a 28-17 victory over Marshalltown, the '63 version of the Bulldogs met up at Appanoose Rapids Brewing Company to keep the night going.
Aside from getting to enter the stadium behind the football team and being introduced to the crowd at halftime, the 1963 team also was given a tour of the Ottumwa Field House by Ottumwa Athletic Director Tom Kopatich.
"He gave a really great synopsis of OHS football and some of the history of it," Emanuel said. "The field house is beautiful. It was great."
Emanuel said 70 people — 35 actual players and other people affiliated with the football team (family members, fans, etc.) in some fashion — attended the game. And, on Saturday, the players and coaches gathered at the Bridge View Center for a reunion program. Grouwinkel and his coaching staff Bill Kramer and George Magrane all spoke to the team during the program.
"They all had something to say and it was pretty neat," Piper said.
Emanuel said about 80 people showed up for the reunion program.
"We had some come from as far away as Texas," Wilkerson said. "It was just a good time. the town was good to us, too."

---- —
Donald A. Marenchin, a 10-year resident of Jefferson Township, formerly of Hermitage, passed away at 2:57 a.m. Friday, May 24, 2013, in St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, after a period of failing health. He was 78.
Mr. Marenchin was born Sept. 30, 1934, in Sharon, a son of John and Mary Popyack Mar-enchin.
He was a lifelong area resident and a 1952 graduate of Hickory High School, Hermitage.
Don served with the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1957 as a military policeman in France and with the U.S. Army Reserves from 1957 to 1962.
Following his honorable discharge from the Army, he returned home and was a machinist at the former Sharon Transformer Division of Westinghouse Electric Corp. for nearly two years.
He then became a policeman for Hickory Township, now Hermitage, in 1961, rising to the rank of detective and investigator, until he was elected in 1980 as the Mercer County sheriff. He served as sheriff for two four-year terms and as a deputy sheriff for his successor, Bill Romine, until retiring in 1999.
Don was a member of Christ Lutheran Church, Sharon.
As a Free and Accepted Mason, he was a member and past master of Shenango Valley Lodge 810, Hermitage, and belonged to the Knights Templar, Zem Zem Shrine and Scottish Rite's New Castle Consistory.

He restored a Dodge M-37 military vehicle, a Piper J3 Cub airplane and a 23-foot Rineal cabin cruiser boat. He also built a Whitman Tail Wind airplane in his garage.
His first wife, the former Patricia Ann Rankin, whom he married Nov. 20, 1954, passed away Sept. 25, 2000.
Surviving are: his wife, the former Patricia L. Knappenberger, whom he married Dec. 19, 2004; a daughter, Michelle Romian, Hermitage; a son, Mark Marenchin and his wife Zan, Savannah, Tenn.; five grandchildren, Zachary and Racheal Marenchin; Taylor and Trey Romian; and Aiden Dosch; two great-grandchildren, Jodon and Dean; two sisters, Mary Ann Covert and her husband Lester, Hermitage; and Thelma Voshell and her husband Sam, Wichita, Kan.; two brothers, John Marenchin and his wife Julie, and Ernie Marenchin and his wife DeDe, all Hermitage; and several nieces and nephews.
He also leaves two stepchildren, Erin Marks, Mercer; and Gabriel Marks and his wife Stacey, Homer City, Pa.; his mother- and father-in-law, Jean and Alvin Knappenberger; and brothers- and sisters-in-law, Tom and Carol Knappenberger, and Nancy and Keith Hamilton, all Knox, Pa.
Besides his first wife, Don was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Dorothy Newell and Betty Henderson; and a brother, George Rabatin.
The family suggests memorial contributions be made to American Diabetes Association, Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312.
Donald A., 78, Jefferson Township, formerly of Hermitage.

Sorry Andrew,
I didn't see your first post at all. Just followed a link that came to me in the email about General debate with no topics posted. Now it seems that you must have posted a little earlier than me but in the same minute.
Anyway on first impressions I really like the video as I personally could never learn in a classroom situation, and especially crap the state deemed relevant.
I do have some reservations about the lack of human contact with Internet learning, but on the other hand learning meaningless material in an environment unfriendly to your personal aspirations and temperament can be damright harmful.
All in all though, I believe this system would work really well for someone like me, especially if I could choose what I wanted to learn.
As for the video, I would like to see the guy speak a little slower but overall his integrity and the luminosity of the idea shone through and I feel the video would make a successful promotion for voting online to incorporate such a system, if it clearly addressed all the concerns of critics….and it sure seems to be going some way to doing that. I can clearly see how it gives so many more access to affordable education, which of course allows people more time and money to develop their personal lives.
Cheers Tom
Joyce doesn't lie. He tells untruths ie things that aren't true. Quite different.
Andrew: Some years ago I read of one prison where the guards turned a blind eye to all the dope smokers and they had very little problem with them. The prisoners who were the real problem were the piss freaks.
I am not necessarily saying that pot is a desirable thing for the wider community but it could have a sedating effect on otherwise quite violent crims.
Please use on the trolls and those who are unable to keep on topic

Our local weather on the west side of 36th Place is influenced by the hills of the mountain preserve directly behind our home. The temperature rises rapidly in the morning due to the sun shining straight down on the east side of the hill. By noon on a sunny day, our station is reporting a temperature that is slightly higher than the other stations near us in Ahwatukee Foothills. But in the late afternoon, the opposite effect takes place. The hill is in the shade and the air cools. Soon our station is reporting a cooler temperature than other stations near us.

Police Impersonators Steal Gambling Machines
Dallas police filed a theft charge against one of the suspects Tuesday night, however they have asked that his name be withheld to avoid endanger the continuing investigation. The man was arrested on an outstanding theft warrant out of Collin County, Texas.
John LeBlanc spoke to another reporter about his experience with the imposters. John LeBlanc was working the register at the Mobil gas station at Garland Road and Lochwood Boulevard in the White Rock area when the impostors appeared on July 22. He was busy attending customers when the impostors explained to him that because his video poker machines paid out real money, they were illegal and would have to be confiscated. Video poker machines are illegal when they pay out cash.
"They started playing with my mind," Mr. LeBlanc said. One of the men carried handcuffs, acted very authoritative, wore a T-shirt with a police logo and fiddled with a radio of unknown nature. Mr. LeBlanc gave the impostor his boss's phone number. "I was stupid enough to let him use the telephone," the 46-year-old said. The intruder pulled the plug from the wall. Then his partner, who had a dolly, began hauling the machines toward their pickup.
Mr. LeBlanc said he recognize something was wrong and attempted to stop the men, but one tried to handcuff him. "I yanked my hands away and called the police," Mr. LeBlanc said. "I should have called the police much earlier."
The police arrived a few minutes after the man and his partner left.
The Dallas police say Mr. LeBlanc is not alone in falling for the scam. The same men in all probability robbed game machines from seven other stores across Dallas, Lewisville Arlington and Crandall, said Detective Craig Johnson. "Probably a whole lot more."
The string of thefts may possibly have begun in 2006, the detective said. "He's smooth, slick, whatever you want to call it," the detective spoke of the man they arrested. Police have yet to make other arrests.
The machines could potential be worth as much as several thousand dollars in good condition. The police are uncertain as to what the intention is with the machines. "This is not something you can get rid of real quick," the detective said.
The man arrested was being held Wednesday in the county jail on the Dallas theft charge, as well as the Collin County charge in addition to a charge of impersonating a police officer out of Kaufman County.
There are several other counties in contact with the Dallas Police department with regards to this case. As they continue to piece it together, details will be release as the need arises.
