Consumer-protection laws and regulations are often rationalized on the grounds that without them the public would make uninformed or foolish choices. But the risks arising from imperfect knowledge prompt consumers and entrepreneurs to discover new ways to assure quality and safety, thus undercutting the case for government regulation.

Loadshedding goes up again from 9hrs a day to 12 hrs per day.
When things cannot go any worse - they will. General Nepali people are already fed up with the daily load shedding. To make things even worse the Load shedding have been incresed to 9 hrs daily. What can we say! God Bless Nepal...
Before, power outage was around 7 hrs per day.
The worsening political situation our country in addition to the dry weather had led to the increase in the daily load shedding up to 7hrs per day.
Before, power outage was around 4 hrs per day.
Power outage, commonly known as load shedding, has come down to 3.5 hours per day from Tuesday onward, according to Nepal Electricity Authority.
Earlier, power outage stood at 5 hours per day.
In rainy season, power outage drastically reduces, while in dry season, it swells up to more than 14 hours per day.
As per the new schedule consumers, who have been facing up to 12 hours of daily outage, will now face 10 hours of daily load-shedding.
NEA said the new schedule was made public as Kaligandaki 'A', which was shut for a month for repairs, started generating power. It also said that the decision was take in view of this year's SLC exams.
The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has slashed the load-shedding by two hours a day effective from Sunday.
hough the power outage had been reduced from Wednesday unofficially, NEA announced the changes in the load-shedding schedule from Sunday citing the smooth supply of electricity from India.
The load-shedding will be 12 hours a day.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has unofficially reduced the load-shedding hours.
The load-shedding hours have been reduced on a trial basis without issuing revised schedule after the supply of 25 Megawatt power from India resumed, NEA said.
According to the authority, the load-shedding timetable could be changed based on the supply of electricity by India. The NEA had increased the load-shedding hours to 14 hours a day from Saturday.
Similarly, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai in a Twitter post on Tuesday promised that load-shedding hours will not exceed 12 hours in this winter
India is preparing to supply additional electricity to Nepal in order to help the Himalayan nation deal with the acute shortage of power during the winter season.
Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid informed about efforts towards this end during his call on President Dr Ram Baran Yadav on Wednesday, according to reports.
Khurshid told Nepal's President that short term measures to augment grid connectivity of 40- 55 MW were completed and that India is working on plans to further increase this is in the medium term, PTI reported.
With the advent of winter season, Nepal is currently facing an acute power shortage with consumers in the country facing up to 12 hours of power outage on a daily basis.
During the meeting, the Indian External Affairs Minister also conveyed India's wish to see "a stable, secular and democratic Nepal".
President Yadav and Khurshid also discussed the latest political situation of Nepal. On the occasion, Khurshid said that India would welcome whatever consensus emerges among Nepal's political parties while President Yadav thanked him for India's development assistance provided to his country, according to reports.
President Ram Baran Yadav started hectic political meetings in New Delhi on the third day of his India visit on Wednesday. President Yadav met his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee at the latter's office in Raisina Hill in the morning. He also held separate meetings at his hotel suite with ruling Congress party chairman Sonia Gandhi, general secretary of Indian Nationalist Congress D.P Tripathi, CPI (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yachuri and Congress (I) general secretary Janardan Dwibedi.
Nepal Electricity Authority has increased the number of load-shedding hours to 14 hours a day, from Saturday.
The outage hours was increased to 12 hours every day on December 26. NEA said it decided to increase the power outage hours from 84 hours per week to 97 hours per week due to abrupt cut in import of power and shrinking water levels in rivers.
NEA has been forced to revise outage hours as the Bihar Electricity Board abruptly decided not to supply 70 MW of electricity to Nepal.
Nepal Electricity Authority has extended daily power cuts by two more hours without informing the public.
The power outage was increased to 69 hours per week from 49 hours on December 8. The news comes as members of the general public reported that they were facing more than 69 hours of weekly power cuts in the past week.
A section of the local media has said that the government did not want to inform about the power cut hoping the import of 40 MW from India from January 1, 2013.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has decided to increase the load-shedding hours for the second time in the past 10 days. The new load-shedding regime will come into effect from December 8 (22nd Mangshir, 2069).
The state-monopoly on supply of electricity has hiked the load-shedding hours by 14 hours to make it 70 hours a week from the existing 56 hours. This means that consumers will now have to face 10 hours of daily power cuts from Saturday.
NEA has said reduction of water level and flow in the rivers with the onset of winter has severely depleted its capacity to generate more electricity and made it mandatory to increase load-shedding.
NEA officials have been saying that consumers may have to face up to 19 hours of daily power cuts this winter.

Everytime I walk by this place, there is always a line-up.
I was finally able to try it last week, and bonus for me - no lineup! I originally wanted to try their chicken schwarma wrap, but at the last minute, changed my order to falafel wrap. The owner said it was a wise choice, mentioning, "You can eat falafel every day, but not chicken. Chicken is too much sometimes."
He proceeded to grab a few balls and stuck them in the micro. He then loaded up my pita with homous, veggies and sauce and squished the falafel balls in.
I was on my way. At first, I expected the falafel to be dry from the microwaving, but my wrap couldn't be more delicious! I'm craving it as I write this review.
It's a great meal and pick-me-up before a day of downtown, not to mention how cheap it is. My falafel wrap was under $5.
I have eaten here three time in the last 2 weeks. The chicken schwarma (sp?) is amazing, huge portions with all that salad, rice and potatoes and abundant chicken with tzaziki and hot sauce, it is the best,I love this stuff and wondered why I've never ventured in before until recently. Don't be daunted by the line up, it is SO worth it!
I remember eating here for the first time maybe about 2 years back. Started having the veggie wrap, then to the falafel wrap. Incredibly yummy but without all the pickles. It really takes away the taste of the entire wrap.
Unfortunately, they always have these lineups it seems and at this location they don't have any seating. The service is a little slow sometimes but understandable. It's tiny and the menu is definitely limited.
Super filling. Super yummy.
This place is pretty much a staple on the Robson & Granville corner. The chicken shawarma is great and they are fairly generous with the meat portions. They have a nice selection of different veggies and pickles and nice flavourful sauces to finish it off. The wraps are a little under $7 and are pretty worth it considering it's the same price as a McDonalds combo, but more wholesome and "real" tasting. The line-ups can be long. If there are 5 people ahead of you, you can expect to wait 10 to 15 minutes. And the place is very small. Just enough space for a single file line to the register, so when you get your wrap and pay, it can get awkward shuffling your way out of the store. The wait is probably the biggest downside, but there are times when no one is in line. The workers are generally friendly enough to you. I don't expect much from a take out stand, and they haven't really been that rude to me. I just take it that they're busy and that it's nothing personal.
I go to this location quite often for the chicken shawarma. It is by far one of the best. Really juicy chicken with the sauces and veggies taste amazing. Haven't tried the lamb as chicken seems to be the most popular. They don't carry beef though, which is too bad. It's crossed off on their sign with one long piece of tape.
There is always a line up and there's not space for dine in. You order, pay, get food and leave. Very crowded. They take a number of orders and it becomes an assembly line. I noticed that they aren't consistent with the veggies. I ordered a chicken shawarma with grilled veggies, but there was barely any of the veggies for the extra money I paid. However, they are really good the chicken portion. On other occassions, they weren't putting much lettuce or tomatoes. But for those willing to ask for more, they are willing to add the extra requested veggies (e.g. more lettuce plz).
The long line ups are usually a good sign... Good food at good prices mean people are willing to waste their time in a lineup... These guys are masters at Shawarmas. As other have mentioned, come here for a takeout since the place is usually too small to accomodate sit-down diners... it's really crowded... The chicken and lamb shawarmas are a thing of beauty. The owner even puts an aluminum foil on the chicken/lamb to keep the heat concentrated on the surface of the shawarma... that's a man on a mission... Spices are amazing... Every time I come back I become more addicted to their cuisine.
If you come from Halifax or Ottawa, you'll appreciate Babylon cafe... It's hard to explain, but for those of you from those cities will understand what a good shawarma represents for the true fast food foodie...
Have seen the very long line ups for quite some time now.
Went finally a few months ago and had the Chicken Schwarma with the grilled veges.
Went back again last Saturday with fiance and again had the same thing. Still very tasty. Enough filling and seasoning. Only complaint was that the amount of chicken is not always evenly distributed between orders. Chicken was a little bit dry at the ends but it tasted really good. Definitely satisfying and the price is right. Will go again but next time will have to try the lamb.
There are actually two Babylon Cafes and they are almost side by side. One offers beef and chicken schwarmas and the other offers the same items but as platters. You get value for your dollars and it tastes good.
This place has the best chicken as far as lebanese meat on a rotating stick goes. The sides are great and you get large portions for about 6 something a plate. They have alot of vegetarian options as well. The place is tiny and not pretty to look at but there is always a constant stream of people which is a good sign because it means the rotating meat doesnt stick around long enough to get old. I would suggest getting your food to go since the seating isn't comfy at all. The service doesnt come with a smile but they get the job done. The one thing that blew my mind is they didnt have any shwarmas just plates of food hence the name gone baby-lon (gone baby gone) Because the whole time i was wondering where are the shwarmas? Overall a must try if your in the area.
I was reluctant to share this restaurant here as there is always a queue for food. However, I learned today that they have opened another outlet 2 doors away. Now, I have no qualms about reviewing this place here.
On certain days, you can smell the grilling chicken as far away as Seymour, almost 2 blocks away. This is a no-nonsense place. You order your food, pay, and walk out to eat. The place is so small that there is no room to stand and eat inside.
Frankly, the chicken shawarma (???) is the only thing I have tried here, and it is excellent. Most places will cut the meat and put them in a food warmer (where the meat starts to dry up) waiting for customers, but not this place. Even if there is a queue, they will not cut the meat off the grill until the meat is perfectly cooked (read: slightly burnt). The meat is always juicy and crunchy (the burnt part), the way I like it.
Service: Always friendly and efficient.
Ambiance: When the food is this good, who cares about the ambiance?
Return? Most definitely.
This place is good and I come here often. The line ups are usually long too so that tells you something. Nonetheless they have clearly skimmed their veggies though and the wrap seems to be getting smaller and smaller with time. I guess with that many customers it doesn't really matter to them. I found 2 other spots that serves a bigger portion and much more sauce on Granville. I will still frequent babylon but if they skim any more or burn anymore of that chicken i might have to permanently switch places. .
Babylon Cafe has terrific food. But this one is closed due to the demolition of the building.
Try one of their other 2 locations in the West End when you're hankering for a falafel or a shwarma (or do as I do, and get the shwarma with falafel). You won't regret it.
Happy dining.
OK, I guess it's not fair to penalize a place for being too good. I resisted putting on a review in for quite some time but this place really satisfies. I don't get there as often as I would like but I love the chicken shawarma. The combination of taste and texture just keeps you eating and eating and eating....Yes it's busy but the taste and value are outstanding.
This is the place to stop when in the Robson area for a quick bite. They have awesome kebabs (lamb, chicken, beef) and make it the way you want, asking you what veggies you want to add. Excellent place, highly recommended!
Everytime i've pass by this little store on robson street, i always love the smell the roasting meat slowing roasting. Therefore, i finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was very tasty. At first i thought the chicken would be super dry, because of the slow roasting but it turned out very juicy and moist. Infact i liked it so much that i went back two weeks later for anothe chicken shawarma. Next time, i would like to try the falafel wrap!
I was such a fan of Babylon and got a take-out atleast once a week. Last week there were stones in the Khuskhus and the food was hardly edible. The falafel was rubbery and the salad was not fresh anymore. Has the cook changed?
I thought I had bad luck, but my significant other complained about his chiken shawarma too. Such a pity!
First time to try it , food not bad, but pretty sure it's my last time .
This day, I tried the lamb shwarma... the sign clearly says ' 7.xx ' .
I paid them ( 20$ bill ) . Then the cashier took a loonie ( which was supposed to be part of my change ) from the cash register and chucked it into a plastic container that was sitting on the countertop.
I thought that was my change... so I reached in to get it ....
as I was about to reach in , the cashier man stopped me and said those ( the money in the plastic container ) are TIPS for ' them ' ( the person wrapping the donair ? the person cutting the meat at the back ? the cashier himself ?? I duNNo ... )
Then he gave me the rest of my change ... which was 10.xx ~
Lived over 30 years on this planet, never once had to pay TIPS ( service charge ?? ) for a street food joint with no seats , no water no waiter ...
it's like having to pay TIPS / service charge at KFC / McDonalds... ridiculous !!
I live in Richmond but whenever i get the chance of going to downtown, I always come here to have mouth watering shawermas. Juicy, succulent peieces of met with just the right amount of veggies always seems to satisfy my hunger. The staff, I agree are not always friendy but what do you expect , they work in a small cooped up place and exposed to intense heat.
When it first opened Babylon cafe was pretty damn good I must admit. The service was friendly, if I asked for more tomatoes or tabolueh (chopped parsley salad) no problem.
Lately I have noticed that with their business getting better they have started to get lax and its slowly coming to the point that they dont care what they give you because they feel they will still make their money.
Case and point: They started to skimp on veggies, I am lucky if I get more than 2 thinly sliced pieces of tomatoes and on a really good day is one lucky to get enough tabolueh. They used to put a whole spoonful of that stuff before now I am lucky if I can get a decent quarter spoonful.
BURNT CHICKEN. I do like that they are one of the few places that slices freshly cooked meat but lately the meat is so cooked that it burnt black. Does that stop them? No, in goes charred pieces of chicken right.
I think they are becoming victims of their own success which I have seem many restaurants do over the years.
Being new to the area, I have had a hard time trying to find shawarma that comes close to what I am used to in Ontario. Babylon is THE closest to the real thing.
The serving sizes are good, and the chicken is damn tasty.
Though a couple of things to watch out for:
-the folks putting your order together seem to get things wrong fairly often...there doesn't seem to be an organized ordering method other than word of mouth, so if the person at the cash doesn't make your food, watch closely as they tend to mess it up
-only go at peak times. If you go during lunch time on a weekday, you will get far better quality, freshness and portion sizes than off peak times...I have experienced this firsthand on several occasions
I didn't try a lot of shawrma places in van; however, this is the best by far
keep in mind, it is not an authentic middle eastern shawrma especially in the way its prepared and what they put in the pita; its sort of canadian shawrma
but its quite good...
especially the lamb, tastes like authentic one. they are doing a good job in lamb shawrma

Multi-Mode Electrode pro – the proven electrode for polarography now even better!
Ever since it was first introduced, the Multi-Mode Electrode (MME) has been the most reliable electrode for polarography. Now its successor, the Multi-Mode Electrode pro, is available. While providing the same reliability and performance, it is even more user-friendly and robust than its predecessor. These are the new features in detail:
- Min-Max markings show at a single glance if there's still enough «fuel» in the electrode.
- On each side of the electrode there is just one connection for the nitrogen supply. Lines wrongly connected by mistake are a thing of the past.
- No metal threads are used on the new MME pro. Corrosion simply cannot occur even under extreme working conditions.
- The retaining screw for fixing the capillary is tightened with the help of a wrench until the wrench slips (operating principle of a torque wrench). Thus, the user knows exactly when the capillary is sits correctly – neither too loose nor too tight.
- Each MME pro has its own individual serial number.
- New electrode holder – secure in any position, whether for refilling of the mercury or for replacing of the capillary and needle.
The new Multi-Mode Electrode pro can be used in all current Metrohm VA instruments (797 VA Computrace and 663 VA Stand) and in most of the earlier models.

ESPN - Report: Los Angeles Dodgers pursue Pittsburgh Pirates' Jack Wilson in trade
Seriously, how much better than Hu or de Jesus jr. would Wilson be?!?!? What concerns me most is the part about the Dodgers wanting Pittsburgh to pick up a significant amount of Wilson's salary. This translates to the Dodgers more willing to add additional prospects than to pay salary.
For a team with such a high amount revenue, I'm quite upset that the Dodgers have been willing to trade their young players in exchange for salary relief, the way they already did for Blake at the deadline. It's awful asset management, and with so much $$ coming off the payroll LA should not be sacrificing their prospects for cash. These aren't the Royals or Marlins!!

On the stoop, in the present day, Susan looks sad until Lynette opens the door. She raises the Post-It wanly. "I know, the dinner," Lynette sighs. Lynette, your choker has got to go. I hate it. I fixate on it. Please get rid of it. They're seed pearls, for Christ sake. Who wears seed pearls anymore? (Seed-pearl wearers in the reading audience, please don't email me.)
Suddenly, the girls are all standing under a tree passing around the Post-It like a joint. Susan wonders how they all could have forgotten about the party. Lynette points out that usually, when the host dies, the party is off. "Lynette!" KimberBree gasps. "I'm not being flip, I'm just pointing out a reality," Lynette says. They chatter for a bit about how Poor Dead Mary Alice was so excited about her party and blah blah blah, you'd think if she was that excited about it, she would have waited until after the party to kill herself, but what do I know? Susan thinks they should go through with it anyway, as a way to honor Mary Alice. KimberBree offers to make "braised lamb shank," and everyone else offers to, you know, attend. "How many people will I be cooking for?" KimberBree asks. "Seven," says Gabrielle. "Three couples and Susan. Does that sound right?" Susan grouses that it sounds very wrong to her, and everyone makes sympathetic noises and KimberBree wonders if there's someone Susan might like to invite, and right on cue, Mysterious Mike jogs by, all sweaty and panting. Susan waves a girlish hand at him and twitters like a little girl. "I have an idea," she says.
"A dinner party?" Carlos thinks he might have to work late. Gabrielle pouts that he promised to be home every night that week. "This is business," Carlos tells her. "Said the prince as he rides off into the sunset. Boy, did the movies ever get that wrong," Gabrielle says petulantly. Carlos gives her a pleading look and then informs her that she's just "too tense." He thinks she should go to the spa, or do some shopping. "Find a way to relax!" he says, as he leaves.
Of course, Gabrielle immediately calls Miguel. "Where are you?" He's in Algebra. Algebra, my old nemesis. So we meet again! Is he free at 4? He's got track at 4. Gabrielle coos that her husband told her she needed to relax. "Want me to keep my gym clothes on like last time?" Miguel asks. "If you would, please," Gabrielle coos. Because girls love sweaty jockstraps! Make a note, lovers.
"A dinner party?" Gay Matt hasn't even unpacked yet! He just wants to stay home and chill! "Oh, [Gay Matt]. There will be liquor. And hors d'oeuvres. And grownups without children. And silverware. Remember silverware?" Lynette asks, as she takes sock after sock out of the dryer. Gay Matt is just wiped out. "I just want to hang out with my best gal," he says and kisses her. I have to say, I am partial to men who call me their best gal -- although I don't like it when they call me "lady" -- but Lynette just looks disappointed. "I was looking so forward to a night out," she whines. Gay Matt apologizes, but sighs that he's beat. "Do you remember what it's like to work a sixty-hour week?" he asks, as he tosses something into her laundry basket. Lynette glares at him. Gay Matt, do you remember what it's like to sleep on the sofa? I suspect you might be in for a refresher course.

This was a perfect getaway for me and and my husband. Perfect location as we ran the GG Bridge and Chrissy field one day and had dinner reservations in Larkspur so location is just perfect if you don't want to get in all the SF city mess! Riding bikes into Sausalito on the great bike path right behind the hotel was so fun!! We will definitely stay here again!

It isn't by design that this first post may ruffle some feathers (see link to the previous post on this subject below), but Blood Knot Magazine is looking for some short opinion pieces to be considered for the upcoming "Green Issue" that promote the experience of smoking weed on the water with fly rod in hand, or scold those that regularly do so. Before posting this on WFF, many other forums were searched and considered, but the Washington Fly Fishing Forum brought its A-game for the most lively discussion thread on the matter. If interested in writing one of these short opinion pieces, all we ask is that submissions be no longer than 800 words and either focus on one viewpoint or the other. Submissions should be received no later than April 17th, and emailed to email@example.com. For further information, please send all questions or concerns to firstname.lastname@example.com. And as always, thank you for your consideration! Blood Knot's grateful for your support and appreciates all of your feedback and unique perspectives. Cheers! http://www.washingtonflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/does-everybody-smoke-pot.55207/page-4
buying weed supports dangerous and violent criminals who abuse our national forests. it is not a lesser or more innocent drug and a detriment to society. Keep your pot off our rivers.. If you need to change your brain chemistry to enjoy life you are missing something.
So no sugar or caffiene? That's kind of a buzzkill, man... Weed being illegal supports dangerous and violent criminals who abuse our national forests. Weed being illegal supports a war with guns that has real casualties on both sides. But hey...I'ma just sit here, drink my rock star and keep up the hate.
Legalize it and you wouldn't have this market that pushes thugs onto the land to grow it in the first place. Weeds not the problem it's the black market.
Pretty judgmental. Do you drink alcohol? Caffeine? Sugar? It's pretty simple, guy. Nobody's holding a gun to your head. If you don't like it, don't smoke it. If you see someone on the river smoking it, how 'bout minding your own business. There is no harm being done to you, after all.
I'm also of the opinion that it's our mis-guided drug laws, that foster the illegal drug trade, that fosters the drug wars. Legalize the stuff, and every pot-tokin' hippie can grow BC bud in his backyard garden. Best way to put drug lords and the DEA out of business. As for Bloodknot magazine, this is the first I ever heard of it. I've known a few fishermen who toke while fishing, and few fishermen who drink while fishing - knew a guy on the NF Stilly who was sorta' famous at the time for the pockets in his fishing vest that held the Oly tall cans. Also known a bunch of fishermen who smoke cigarettes while fishing, that's probably the most objectionable to be near. Or cigars. Much prefer to be around someone tokin' a joint. Except no one rolls joints any more. Sg
I checked out Bloodknot... I like it. I'm w/ Breck, Salmo_g, and others. Bloodmeridian's post was intended to make forum members aware of aN opportunity to submit their writings. It was, in fact, done in a very sensitive way so as not to offend the sensibitities of those who might have a different appreciation for the role weed plays in both the narrow context of fly fishing and the wider world.
I don't think making bad behavior legal is the way to go.. First Alcohol, then Pot, then what heroine so pure that it kills with a single dose like has happened 7 times in the Longview area in the last month. I am sorry but pot derails your mind much different than caffeine or sugar that is comparing apples to oranges. It impairs your skills and your inhibitions. People are already showing too little restraint and poor judgment while enjoying the outdoors. If a person needs to be out of their mind to enjoy life then they should go do that in their own home NOT on public property. We have laws against public drunkenness for a reason!! There is no reason to put other people by using pot in public as well. You are already putting them in enough danger by buying an illegal substance grown in our national forests and guarded by automatic weapons by people who intent to kill you if you are out backpacking and stumble across their grove. You call pointing out the facts being judgmental well I say being on the river and using substances that make you a danger to yourself and others is selfish and stupid.. I am sorry but i have a legal right to be safe from your illegal activity. This is exactly why i wish to disassociate myself from from a lot of fly fishers these days. It seems as though they use the river as their frat house.. Go be stupid in private and quit ruining the experiences of others. I am all for legalizing the easing of suffering and the use of medical marijuana by those who need it for physical pain. If you need pot to deal with life or if pot enhances your life you really badly need to grow up. take life into your own hands, end your enslavement and live...
I sure am lucky that I have so many people willing to tell me how to live my life. Saves me the hassle of all those pesky decisions. Christ, ill never understand why people feel the need to cram their beliefs down someone else's throat. Stay out of my life and ill stay out of yours. You don't like what's going on in my boat? Simple, don't get in.
So you're all in favor of legalizing it for those who need it, but then "if you need pot to deal with life.....you need to grow up." Interesting.
I no longer partake but I'll support legalization and it's taxation if they use some of the money to get rid of the discover pass.
I am not telling people how to live their lives as i said people are free to do as they please within the law. The law is clear in this pot is illegal I am opposed to it's legalization yes because it is destructive to society. Again as i already said we have laws concerning public drunkenness why? because when you take it into the public arena it is no longer just your business it is the business of everyone you come into contact with. The same would be true with pot smoking. you cannot drive or operate a boat safely while drunk or stoned and that is why it's illegal. Who is one to be so selfish as to think that endangering other people is ok because its your life and no one should tell you how to live it.. Why is it illegal to drive under the influence?? because in doing so you are telling me that I should live the rest of my life in a wheelchair or to not live it at all. being out of your mind makes you a threat to the public at large there is no way around that. Now through my years I have known and liked a great number of people who choose to indulge in pot. people who use it are just like any other group of people some I like very much some I do not. Suggesting that I hate people because i believe what they are doing is wrong is a totally wrong argument. Believing something is wrong does not equate to hating the people who do it. Hate has to do with the wishing of ill will and I do that to no one even people who have wronged me and who I do not like. I am pretty dogged on some arguments and I probably shouldn't be. What you do in your own home I could care less. Bring it out into the public and I care very much.
I understand completely being against driving under the influence of any mind altering substance, but that's not the real topic here. If you're so against this stuff taking place in the public fishing arenas then why haven't you weighed in on any of the multiple "What Scotch do you prefer while fishing" threads? If Someone bobbing in a boat tokin a j is being irresponsible and putting others in danger then the guy next to him hitting a flask is just as irresponsible. Or are we simply hung up on legality?
our creator gave it to use to relax .the only reason its illegal is because the rich people realized they could make money off it. if people woke up and stopped crimalizing our creators gifts this world would be a lot better off. I'm tired of people taking advantage of our mother earth. tear the dams down restore what our people have done. Look what happened to Japan they raped the ocean and our mother earth repaid them for it. We as a people should fight agaist all these bad things. Tear the dams down stop cutting our forests down these are the things we should be worrying about. Restore Hetch Hetchy!!!!
Yes of course we can all get along. I get along well with nearly everyone. is there some unwritten law that says you have to not get along with people you disagree with?

Kelvin Pickering Jr. Memorial
Scenes from Kelvin Pickering Jr.'s service
NAPLES — Kelvin Pickering Jr., those who met him say, was one of those kids you couldn't forget.
For anyone who knew the Barron Collier freshman, there was one thing that stood out. People liked Pickering because of his kindness, but they remembered him, friends say, because of his smile.
"He was always happy," said classmate Camilla Price, who would get hugs from Pickering in the Barron Collier hallways. "He was always smiling, never judging anyone. So many people knew him. They knew his smile."
More than 400 people joined together at the Barron Collier football field Monday night to celebrate the life of Pickering and mourn his recent death. Pickering, 15, died in a car crash May 31 on an Alabama highway.
Pickering had just moved to Naples from his native Virgin Islands a year ago. His grandmother Lorraine Fleming, her husband, Ira Juan Cito Fleming, and her sister, Jennifer Richardson, also died in the accident.
The ceremony was held in the Cougars stadium to honor the freshman quarterback. Though Pickering had never played football before moving to Naples, he caught on fast and quickly fell in love with the sport, which coaches say he excelled at.
"This is a place we know Kelvin loved," varsity coach Mark Ivey said of the Cougars' home turf.
The coaches, friends, teammates and schoolmates who spoke about Pickering on Monday talked of a person everyone loved to be around. People gravitated to Pickering because he was good-natured, funny and caring.
While his natural ability made him a good athlete, his personality made him a great teammate.
"If you were down, he'd come over and pick you up," sophomore football player Mark Nicoletti said. "I don't remember a time when he wasn't smiling. Even on the field after a hard drill, he was just happy to be playing football."
The crowd, including about 80 football players, at Monday's memorial filled half the Cougars' home bleachers. Pickering's mother, Desserie Smith, flew in from the Virgin Islands to attend. Pickering lived with his aunt and uncle, Lauralie and Larry Webbe, in Naples.
After a candlelight vigil and a slide show with pictures of Pickering's life, a group of mostly students gathered at the 50-yard line of Barron's field to console one another. The large contingent of friends stretched nearly all the way across the field, a testament to what Pickering meant to those around him.
"It's amazing to look around and see how much Kelvin meant to this many people," said Cougars team chaplain Zach Gurick during the ceremony. "He was only 15, but he inspired all these lives by the way he lived."
Many of Pickering's friends will continue to honor him through commemorative T-shirts and bracelets. Freshman Kaleigh Mapes, who helped organize Monday's memorial, designed a shirt with Pickering's image and had it printed at a commercial print shop. She received more than 200 orders.
Students also were wearing a green rubber bracelet with the words "Only The Good Die Young – R.I.P. Kelvin." The bracelets were sold at the service to raise money for Pickering's family.
Football helmets also were passed through the crowd to collect money for funeral expenses. The funeral is Saturday in St. Thomas.
"Kelvin taught us a great lesson," said Kevin J. Van Duser, a pastor at First Baptist Church of Naples who spoke Monday. "What you do in life, even when you're young, is important. He was a great example. Kelvin lived a life that was full."
Other students helped memorialize Pickering on Monday. Freshman Melissa Metsch created the slide show of pictures, which contained an R&B song about Pickering written and performed by freshman Sebastian Ramos.
Cougars coaches haven't been surprised by the outpouring of support for someone they say everyone loved. Freshman coach Ken Andiorio reminded everyone, though, that Pickering was an upbeat person and would want to be remembered in a positive manner.
"He loved being on this team, he loved this school and he loved his friends," Andiorio told the mourners. "He would want all of you to honor one another and lift each other up. He always had such a good heart."

Simon Cowell is solely focused on Lauren Silverman and their unborn baby -- despite allegations of betrayal from her estranged husband ... sources close to the couple tell TMZ.
We're told Simon is saying privately that his baby will "want for nothing." He will gladly provide for the child, and not just financially. Simon is saying he will be a committed, fully-involved parent and says he wants a big role in raising the child.
As for Lauren ... people who know Simon say he's never been happier than when he's with her.
Simon is telling friends he knows the situation is "complicated," but he's very confident it will all pass and his relationship with Lauren will endure this situation
Obviously AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY and he will recent her for it but for now if he 'trashes' her he will look worse.
He cheats on her like she cheated on her husband. Love this. Trying to act as if you are happy or this "blessing" of an unwanted baby conceived by a 53 year old that appears to be a coke head and alcoholic, and born of an adulterous affair with a friends wife. Hope Simon's ego can take it when she leaves him for the next guy that can make a better offer. He's really gonna need taller lifts to regain his manhood after that happens. Oh, what a tangled web we weave.....
So he's an ******* in real life as well? With all the money and fame, he could get any monehy grabbing whore but he chose to go after his bestfriend's left over wife?Yuck!!
No where in that statement does it say that Simon is going to marry his child's mother. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.
Simon is this age and never had a real relationship. I don't care if he's rich, that tells you all you need to know about the man.
Andrew saw him as a trusted friend. Men at that level have few sincere friends. Simon broke the UK Bro Code of respecting and not hitting on another friends' women. His ego was too big not to cross the line. Simon's greatest loss will not be money ... he has lost a sincere friend. Simon will park Mummy and baby somewhere and move on ....
I am happy for him. People fall out of love with their spouses everyday its only natural. The only mistake they made was not waiting till she was divorced. She is gorgeous no wonder!
Did anyone notice these pics of Simon w/o his shirt?!!!His man boobs look like droopy pair of toob socks! Put on a Bra already, or at the very least keep your shirt on! EWWWW!
Can anyone say "SWINGERS?" Having multiple partners without protection can result in pregnancy AND STD'S! Completely gross/sex crazed animals!
Love the photo TMZ. I will caption it for you, until you change it. Simon: (farts and makes the comment, ahhh I will bask in the smell.) His gold digger baby's mama comments, I hope your son will not have the flatulence gene. Their whole ordeal is a joke. They can fall off a cliff and it wouldn't affect me slightly, well the unborn kid needs to live to realize how corrupt people are and become a positive influence to others.
Hey Simon explain how much u care about that nasty looking woman and that baby she's knocked up with TO HER OTHER CHILDREN and make them understand that their family is no more because u couldn't keep ur dick in your pants...JACKASS

Ireland's cinema advertiser Carlton Screen Advertising is rebranding as Wide Eye Media. More importantly, the company is determined to focus strongly on the youth segment of cinema goers, highlighting the need and challenge for cinemas and advertisers in most exhibition markets in the developed world.
Although the old Carlton Screen Advertising (CSA) website is still running (pictured below), the new Wide Eyed Media (WEM) one (above) looks much better and gives an indication of the changes to come.
WEM represents 653 screens across 94 sites in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and claims a reach of two million eyeballs per month (pairs, we assume). The company kept the CSA name long after the former UK parent company re-branded as Digital Cinema Media (DCM) – five years to be precise, as CSA (UK) became DCM on 1 January 2009. While DCM was acquired by UK multiplex operators Odeon and Cineworld (Vue joined later), CSA (Ireland) was bought by Irish commercial radio media mogul Dermot Hanrahan in May 2009. The company has thus continued to function under the moniker of a former parent company that doesn't exist any more.
This is now set to change as, with WEM having completed a €2 million investment in digitisation of its end-to-end advertising system with Unique Digital, including recently upgrading their Advertising Accord™ software. WEM is thus now fully equipped to take full advantage of the possibilities of the digital screen advertising medium.
The company is marshalling major resources, including a €800,000 campaign based around the theme, "Wide Eye Media – Coming to your Senses. See it. Hear it. Feel it" There will also be a new 'sting' (ident trailer) playing in cinemas. You can see it for yourself below and although the YouTube compression is terrible, it will no doubt look and sound very impressive in cinemas.
But the most interesting aspect of the exercise is 'under the hood' in terms of what WEM is trying to achieve in its new guise. As WEM rightly points out, Ireland has the highest cinema admissions per capita in the EU, something that is a good foundation to build on for cinema advertising.
It is worth going through WEM's very elegantly laid out and eloquently summarised presentation ('Why not Cinema'?) on their website, which should be a model for bigger and better resourced cinema advertisers (we are looking at you NCM and DCM). It builds a brief but compelling case for cinema advertising, which always has to punch above its weight, given that it accounts for just one to two per cent of total advertising spend in any given territory.

It appears nothing short of a plane hijacking is going to keep Bo Horvat off Canada's team at this year's world junior tournament.
Horvat — along with fellow Canucks' first-round draft pick from last June, Hunter Shinkaruk — was invited to Hockey Canada's final selection camp on Monday. Horvat looks to have an inside track, while Shinkaruk has to show he's recovered from hip and shoulder injuries.
Only 25 players were on the list, so that means two forwards and one defenceman must be cut from roster by Dec. 25 to get down to the required numbers for this year's tournament in Malmo, Sweden. The camp is Dec. 12-15 in Etobicoke, Ont.
If both make the final roster, it'll be the first time the Canucks have had two players on Canada's national junior team since 1999.
Horvat, a two-way centre who thrives on big-game situations, looks to be a key player for head coach Brent Sutter. Another factor in the 6-foot, 205-pound Horvat's favour is his versatility. He's a centre who's comfortable playing either wing, and at tournaments like the world juniors it's not what you can do but what else you can do.
Sutter wasn't giving up any final roster secrets during a conference call, but it wasn't hard to guess how much he likes Horvat.
"If you look at the 15 players, there are a lot of centremen there, so a lot of them are going to have to play on the wing and Bo is one of those guys who can play either side or in the middle," said Sutter. "It's nice to have that, but you look at the overall thing — his strength, his power — he's obviously a very good hockey player and has that element of size we like to have on our team."
Horvat, 18, is currently leading the OHL London Knights in scoring, with 12 goals and 37 points in 24 games. He's 19th in OHL scoring, but has played fewer games than most of his competitors.
"It would mean the world to me to make this team," said Horvat, who was taken ninth overall by Vancouver at the June NHL draft. "I'm willing to do whatever it takes, whatever role they want me to play.
"I'm feeling really good, really confident, like my game is where it should be right now. "
Shinkaruk, 19, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound winger with high-end speed and soft hands who was picked 24th overall by the Canucks, missed two weeks with a hip injury this season and is playing through a wonky shoulder.
"It's very exciting," said Shinkaruk, 19, who has 5-11-16 in 18 games with the WHL Medicine Hat Tigers. "It would be unbelievable to be on this team. I remember growing up watching this tournament every Christmas."
Shinkaruk's speed would be welcome on the big ice in Europe, but Sutter said he has to show he's ready to bring his best game.
"We'll see Hunter and see if he can get healthy and where he can be at," said Sutter. "But he's certainly a talented player and there's elements that we love in his game."
Last year's Canucks' first-round pick (26th overall), Brendan Gaunce, was not selected although he was invited to Canada's summer camp. Gaunce thinks the game at a high level, but his foot speed likely hurt him for a tournament that will be played on the big European ice.
Certainly, Sutter's luke-warm comments regarding Gaunce — even though he scored four points in two exhibition games on an international sized surface last August — suggested the Toronto native was in tough to make this team.
Canuck draft picks on Canada's national junior team:
Cody Hodgson (10th overall, 2008) led the tournament in scoring (5-11-16) as Canada won it's fifth straight gold medal in Ottawa.
The late Luc Bourdon (10th overall, 2005) was a key defenceman and scored 2-2-4 as Canada won gold in Leksand, Sweden.
Bourdon had 1-5-6 as underdog Canada took gold in Vancouver.
Brandon Reid (7th overall, 2000) led Canada in scoring with 4-5-9 as the team won bronze in Skelleftea, Sweden.
Bryan Allen (4th overall, 1998) had 1-2-3 and Harold Druken (36th overall, 1997) had 1-1-2 as Canada took silver in Winnipeg.
The Canucks had a whopping four players on this squad, but it finished a dismal last. Josh Holden (12th overall, 1996) led the team in scoring (4-0-4), followed by Matt Cooke (144th, 1997) with 1-1-2), Brad Ference (10th, 1997) with 0-1-1 and Zenith Komarniski (75th, 1996).

Comments about Astro Boy 0005 C2 Gunmetal:
I got these for my five-year-old son, and he LOVES them!!! I had trouble getting him to wear his glasses in the past, and he took so little care of them that he ended up breaking them. But these... these he wears all of the time, and guards them like you would not believe. They are so cute, and he looks so classy in them. I am very happy with these frames!

Catholics in northwest Ohio said goodbye to their leader of 10 years Wednesday night. It was an emotional sendoff for Bishop Leonard Blair as he presided over his final mass at Holy Rosary Cathedral.
Blair has been appointed to be the Archbishop of Hartford, Connecticut. On Wednesday, his final Ohio mass was filled with thanksgiving, songs, prayers and well wishes.
"Well it's kind of bittersweet, because 10 years ago today we were in this cathedral welcoming him," said Monsignor William Kubacki, of the Diocese of Toledo. "He was actually installed 10 years ago, December 4, as the bishop of Toledo. And yes, it is a sad day."
But Kubacki says it is also a day to celebrate the bishop's accomplishments.
"Having tried to do my best, I give thanks to God for his tender mercies, and I give thanks to God for all of you," Bishop Blair said from the pulpit.
Bishop Blair will be installed in Hartford on Dec. 16, and within eight days, the College of Consulters must elect a diocesan administrator to run the Toledo diocese. Eventually, Pope Francis will appoint a new bishop.
"Things are in pretty good shape here, so I am confident that we will hopefully have a new bishop within a year," Kubacki said.
The diocese presented Bishop Blair with a set of new vestments to wear as archbishop. He says he's looking forward to it, but also looking back.
"I must say I am not very good at saying goodbye, and it has been very emotional for me in many ways," Blair said. "Ten years is a big chunk of a person's life, and I will miss Toledo, miss the diocese very much."

--------------------------------------------- -- What is the difference between marking something as shared by clicking the 'Share' button at the bottom of a post, versus marking something as 'Starred' and then making sure that the 'Starred' tag is marked as 'Public' from within Reader's preferences? Why would someone choose to Star something vs. Sharing something? -- How long do posts that I've starred, or marked as shared, remain in google reader? Can it be considered 'permanently' archived? Or will these items one day disappear from the list of shared/starred items after an certain amount of time has past? -- I think I might be missing something when it comes to tagging a blog post...Is it correct to assume that if I want to tag a particular post with, hypothetically, a tag named "Digital Audio", then I would actually have to click on the "Add Tag" or "Edit Tag" button at the bottom of a post, then manually type in "Digital Audio" every single time I want to tag a particular post with that tag? If so, is there really not a way that I can simply drag a post onto a tag that appears in my subscription list? If not, doesn't this seem a bit tedious? What if there are 10 posts in a single feed, one appearing just a couple of posts right after the next, that I want tagged with a particular tag...I have to manually type in the tag title for each and every one of them? -- How far back (in the past) can you browse content for for in a a particular feed (for a site like Engadget for example...one that's been around and posts many entries daily)? Does this depend on the feed's setting somehow, and how long the publisher has chosen to keep items in their feed? Or is there even a limit (since the feeds inception)? --------------------------------------------- Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!
I would really really really appreciate a little help in figuring out a couple questions I have about Google Reader's basic functionality, for which I've search endlessly for answers to and have even posted this identical question on other forums, but have still not been able to come up with any answers...and I am a total RSS newbie, so please forgive what many of you will likely consider brainless questions ;)

That really bites about Dixie leaving, again. I hope she stays gone. Just when I was actually enjoying her being back in Pine Valley after this whole Madden/Emma being Kate crap. I was excited when she came back but loathed her when the story lines were crap.
That's so weird about Michael Cambius. I was just thinking after watching todays episode that he might be the Satin Slayer. With the whole picture of Zachs mom being replaced with Kendall, I was thinking about how Mikey and Kendall were together back in the day, and then Binks. So maybe he is back from the dead killing people close to them since Binks killed him? It makes sense, sorta. Also with Zachs flashbacks from childhood, perhaps Mikey also killed their mom. That makes sense too.
I can't wait to see what happens now that Zach spilled the beans about Emma to Ryan too! YAY! Just as Annie and Kendall are bonding lol. Now Ry is gonna hate her for keeping this secret.
So I too am mad about Dixie. Oh well. She is too big for her britches I guess. We will move on. Oh one more thing, WTF about Maggie being "still afraid" of Jonathon? It's been sooooo long, and she's like gay now right, can't she move on like everyone else? And who is she to judge, she's a cheating liar. Whatever. I hope Binks dumps her *** quick and moves on. Night all. Talk to you after tomorrows.
Latest rumors are that Adam is leaving - and I'm thinking what the heck???? Like Erica, Adam is a staple to the show - with Adam gone the whole Chandler storylines, no matter what they are, are gone - Adam is the main meanie in the entire soap - plus he can be some great comic relief.
I just wonder if with the terrible writing is why so many are leaving - really this is the worst writing I've seen on the soap for a very long time
I wish I was in on some of the brainstorming - in fact AMC should listen to fans that watch the darn show and take some of their recommended storylines to heart - cause whoever is running the show is the one that should be fired!
And I agree about Zach - he did phenomanol yesterday
Reading your post reminded me of that movie with Elijah Wood and the "Home Alone" kid (don't know how to spell his name) called "The Good Son". Michael Cambias could be the evil son who killed his mommy.
So if Adam leaves, what happens with Stuart? I know he's hardly ever on AMC anymore which sucks but if the actor leaves, this automatically ends two characters. I saw on www.soapcentral.com that Passions was cancelled by NBC because of budget cuts and lack of viewers and also because they want to add a fourth hour of the Today Show? Not that I was a fan of that show but it is sad that it's getting cancelled. So I guess NBC only has Days of Our Lives left, right?
A fourth hour of the Today Show?? Good grief! That is sad. I have never watched Passions, but it's sad to see another show bite the dust. I hope the genre will never die all the way out. I understand that it has changed and will probably change more in the future, but I hope it never goes completely away.
I don't want Adam/Stuart to leave! I was just thinking the other day how Adam seemed to be turning into Stuart a little bit, with regards to his kindness I mean. He is starting to seem almost human as a character, because of Krystal. I was actually starting to like him. If Palmer and Adam both go, that really changes things. Not that Palmer is ever around much, but he is still the Palmer Courtlandt, ever the Chandler foe. I know Uncle Palmer is pretty ancient now, I'm sure it's time for him to retire.
Delta Mu Chi Alpha ΔΜΧΑ
The website I mentioned provides more info regarding the cancellation. But yeah, I guess they want to expand Today to four hours which takes away one hour from the local stations so in a compromise, they get the 4 hour Today show, the local stations get to keep their hour and Passions gets the axe instead. Sad, just sad IMO. But honestly, who would watch the Today show for four straight hours a day!? Imagine, that's 20 hours in one week! That would be like watching two days worth of the soaps I watch in one day. Also, on the website they talk about the new storyline for GH for February sweeps ala 24. Sounds weird but could be interesting.
I leave for a week or so, and AMC falls apart?! Dixie gone again?! Adam leaving?! I don't even know what to say. What's the point of Dixie coming back in the first place, if she doesn't ride out this whole Kate storyline? And Adam can't leave! He is Pine Valley! I'm just... dismayed. This show is really getting bad.
And not that I watch Passions, but there has to be sooomething else they can put on besides another hour of the Today Show. Overkill.
Adam leaving is just a rumor but it's pretty rampant - it makes me mad, I like Adam!!!!
I think Days is in it's last 2 years and will be cancelled in 2009 - so that soap will get crazy! And it's been crazy in the past.
As for Dixie - I haven't seen the soap for Friday and Monday (tomorrow) so I'm hoping that Dixie gets 'offed' next week - but I know that she finds out Kathy is Kate, eats poison by accident and then keels over - well I guess Tad will be a single dad and a good one at that!
Everyone thinks the Slayer is a woman - I still think it's a guy - I know we saw Michael's body but with the terrible writing Michael can easily be brought back - Zach did fake his own death, why couldn't Michael? That makes more sense than everyone saying Greenlee is the killer - think not! Tho the rumor of Greenlee coming back is hot too - THAT I would like - because Fusion is in such dire straits - let Greens swoop back in, but it out from under Kendall and Ryan - show up with boxes and tell them clean your desks out! LOL Now that I could watch!!!!!
When hasn't DooL been crazy? All of the soaps on NBC have always been more off than soaps on ABC and CBS IMO. I don't have a clue who the Satin Slayer (keep thinking it's 'satan slayer' and not satin, lol) but Greenlee can't come back to PV and take over Fusion just like that. She did sign all of her shares to Babe, that's why she's in Fusion now. It was a move from Greenlee to really piss off Kendall because Kendall hates Babe.
ABC fired the actress who plays Dixie according to sites I've read. I don't think she'd want to leave right when they're going to finally reunite Tad and Dixie with each other and their little Kate. The writers screw up her homecoming for a whole year and now when they get things right by making Dixie more like the original Dixie they decide to kill her off again. It's just plain STUPID! Also, rumors are also going out that Palmer will be the next vet to leave PV. I've heard that one more than Adam leaving. I've only heard the rumor about Adam on MC actually.
On another note, anyone watching the "24" style GH? What was up with the Metro Court's entrance? The sign outside the hotel looks soooooo 70's with that font it had. It's a new hotel isn't it? Poor Sam, she finally gets a job that lasts more than a day and the damn place gets blown up. Who will be the next millionaire in PC to build their new hotel? Sonny? Alcazar? Cassadines? Quartermaines again?
Man, as much as I can't stand AMC lately when Dixie flatlined yesterday I cried
Today's show will surely be a kleenex moment!
I was too mad to cry. I just can't believe they are killing that character off, yet again! And since she has been back, I have found her thoroughly unlikable. I used to like Dixie! It's just ridiculous. I have been watching ABC soaps for a loooooong time, way too many years. Back when I was working, before I had my kids -- and before the wonderful Soap Net -- I used to follow along through Soap Opera Digest and sometimes I'd tape the shows and watch later. It's been going on so long now that it's hard to imagine just walking away. I think I will always follow along. But more and more lately I feel like I should turn on the TV and find out what's going on, instead of really wanting to watch.

Somehow, despite poorer and poorer ratings, the majority of people get their news from TV. Just about 55% of American adults tune into channels like CNN and Fox News to learn about what's happening around the world according to a recent Gallup poll. This includes the surprising statistic that 50% of adults between the ages of 18 and 29, who should be the "internet generation", are still getting their news via television. Maybe they mean the Daily Show and Colbert Report because most people my age purposefully avoid the 24 hour news channels.
Gallup did also reveal that 27% of the 18-29 year old age group used the internet as their second source of news but that is somehow 1% fewer than the next age group of 30-49. What that tells me is the internet is a growing supplementary source of news for young and old alike. Unless you got above the age of 50 where it is still a vast wasteland of no technology. The stats aren't horribly shocking since there are tons of 30 somethings who grew up on the beginning of the internet and technology craze we all live in now.
How on earth is new TV still surviving? After events like the Boston bombing being reported on so poorly? Luckily there is one glimmer of hope among all these numbers. TV cable news programs still don't do better than the network evening news which isn't great but a much better source than say The Bill O'Reilly show.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- Fans at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla., should get a pretty good look next spring at shortstop Xander Bogaerts, the consensus top prospect in the Red Sox farm system. He'll take part in the same program as the players on the 40-man roster, at least to start the spring -- an indication his ascent to the major leagues isn't too far off.
"I would expect him to be in big-league camp," general manager Ben Cherington said. "I also expect him to be in the minor leagues to start the season."
The 20-year-old Bogaerts finished last season at Double-A Portland, hitting five home runs and 10 doubles in fewer than 100 plate appearances. Before that, he hit 15 home runs and 27 doubles to go along with a .378 on-base percentage in almost 450 plate appearances at High-A Salem.
It's not unreasonable to see a path for Bogaerts that involves starting the season at Portland and climbing to Triple-A Pawtucket in the middle of the season before making his major-league debut once rosters expand in September. That would be a best-case scenario, however.
"I wouldn't rule it out," Cherington said. "He's a talented guy. But right now our focus is trying to finish the development at the minor-league level."
