Just What I Wanted...
January 07, 2012
I love the carhartt bib overalls, and pretty much live in them all winter. But sometimes you need something without bibs, and this is them. A bonus feature that the bibs don't have is a reinforced heel cuff (this is always the first spot to show wear). You can't go wrong with a carhartt product.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueKEEPING WARM....
January 11, 2012
What I like is the easy on and off as compared to the Bib coverall and all the loops and pockets to store my smaller gear(wallet,pocket knife etc). Most of all the quilted lining that keep my legs warm in the cold wind. The material seems to be very durable only time will tell. The leg openings zippers are well covered preventing the wind from entering. Over all these pants were a good buy....
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGreat pants to wear during cold weather
December 31, 2009
Bought these pants to wear while working outdoors in cold weather. They are very comfortable to wear in my job as I am a tree climber. Carhartt has great a great quality in clothing. Will continue to buy this product

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Great valueLove this Coat and Ease of Ordering
January 08, 2010
The coat wasn't offered at all Carhart dealers and it is a soft jacket that is a work jacket but it looks good enough to wear every day. It was so easy to order and the website lets you look closely.
Very tough
February 21, 2012
These pants seem built to last. Done some heavy duty outdoor work in them over the last couple of weeks - they keep me plenty warm and have been nicked countless times by tree limbs showing no sign of wear. For tough warm pants for outdoor work, a guy buy.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Cons: wears a little largewarm without the straps ...
June 24, 2011
I've used the Sherpa for years (Antarctica), and this is the first time I've had the opportunity to use their midweight "overall" (Greenland Ice Sheet) I liked the fit ... accommodated my mid-weight poly-pro with ease, and when the going got cold, I could still wear my puffy-pants underneath without feeling too big. The snaps sometimes would un-snap, and the outer fabric is not as water-resistant as their Extreme ... but for the most part, the dry snow of Greenland made these nuisances less noisome. Overall, I would recommend these "overalls" to anyone who works in cold climates but hates shouldering the burden of warmth on your shoulders!

Auckland - France scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili will have lighter training this week as he bids to shake off a thigh injury in time to face Wales in Saturday's Rugby World Cup semifinal.
Yachvili sustained deep bruising to his thigh in Saturday's 19-12 quarter-final win against England.
France coach Marc Lievremont says "he will have a less (intensive) training program this week."
Yachvili came off midway through the second half and was replaced by Francois Trinh-Duc, with makeshift No 10 Morgan Parra switching back to scrumhalf.
Yachvili kicked two penalties in France's win at Eden Park.

Oh these cookies look divine! I don't mean to be redundant but the Lemon Limerific sound like they are something I would love, and those chocolate chips are look like they would be chewy in the middle and crunchy on the ends. Yummy. You know that I am a follower- and I love your blog! Please keep you eye open for the purple Charlotte for me!
As a follower I'd also follow your choice. Anything with lemon and lime gets my vote. Peggy
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, I'm so glad you found my blog, and now I've found yours. Your blog is lovely, and I can tell you and I have very similar tasted. I see your cabinet in your picture over there, I love mine, and found it at my favorite local antique store. I also have a small collection of red transferware in my keeping room, and a good collection of brown in my dining room. I collect Johnson Bros. Old Mill. Glad I've found someone else who loves color too. I'm a new follower, and I can't wait to get to know you. Take Care, Carrie
I would so choose those yummy LEMON cookies mmmmmmm.
I think cookies are right next to chocolate for me so that said I would probably choose any one of the cookies that incorporated chocolate. However the Chewy oatmeal with cranberries, white chocolate and honey really call to me.
Your transfer ware is beautiful as is your tablescape. You certainly have a great talent and I will be visiting your blog often.
Thank you for visiting mine and I hope you come back often.

Travel Blogs from Dallas
Christmas/New Years 2009 Back in the US
Went back home for the first time since July for the Christmas holidays for a much needed trip. As much I am perfectly comfortable in Hyderabad, it's always good to come home for friends, family and the all important food I miss so much. As is normal for my return trips...I checked into a nice hotel (Za Za) for my first two nights to help wash 23 …
Busy Holiday Season in the U.S.
Decided to spend a rather long time in the U.S. as it may be my last trip there for several months...and like the last time, I crammed a lot into my time there. My basic itinerary was Dallas for 2 nights, Okla City for 6 nights, Dallas for 2 nights, New York for New Years for 2 nights, Dallas again for 2 nights, Ft. Myers Florida for 6 nights, Los …
I fear for my generation
How are we, as humanity, surprised when terrorists attacks are happening weekly? Not to say its anything less than tragic or heartbreaking, but surprising? I think not. Over the past several weeks I've made an effort to find inner happiness. I've spread love and unity to complete strangers simply because I believe in " pay it forward". What I've noticed in the past two weeks is what's surprising. I've noticed that people gravitate towards negativity and seem to have a fear of ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel ZaZa Dallas
Never again!
We arrived early (11:00 am) and understood that we'd probably have to wait until later to check in to our room, but we wanted to leave the bags. We were told their system was down and couldn't check anyone in anyway. We came back at 2:30 p.m. and checked the status of our room which was supposed to be on the club level. It still wasn't ready 3 1/2 hours later even though the front desk knew I was already in town. We had a drink at the bar, waited another 45 minutes and finally got a room NOT on the club level. We were given the privilege card (a complete joke), but still charged the club rate. Dinner at a very small Dragonfly was mediocre at best. The "pool party" went on until 2 in the morning. As if the stay itself wasn't bad enough, the bellman who took my suitcase away from me at the desk while I was checking out didn't even put it in the car that was waiting on us. They had to bring my suitcase to me at the car rental place!!! Ugh. This whole experience was terrible and I do not recommend this hotel.
ZaZa is Zariffic!
Recently returned with my girlfriend from a 4-night business / pleasure trip, staying at Zaza (our average age is 50+). Booked hotel based on reviews here (some of the negative ones actually convinced us!), their web site, and also wanting a change from the ordinary. We booked on line without issue. ZaZa is simply outstanding in every respect; a refreshing change. All staff friendly and service excellent. No complaints anywhere. We even had the owner sit down at our table and chat with us one evening at Dragonfly! The Decor is superb, even that single bowl of lollipops in the lobby. We've stayed at the Savoy, the Paris Ritz, the Pierre, Waldorf, etc., and our stay at ZaZa was every bit the equal. One of our best hotel stays ever. Even the lifts, with their dim lighting, were soothing. We really felt like we were at an oasis, not in Dallas. I could go no and on....
Dragonfly - could be so much more
My husband and I went to eat a romantic and exotic dinner at Dragonfly in Hotel ZaZa. We were very excited to try this new treasure, but left a little disappointed. We arrived early for our reservation to have a cocktail in the lounge. It was so small that people were packed like sardines and it was so loud we couldn't even hear each other. It was a great age range for the crowd and lots of eye candy. The decor is absolutely fabulous - so refreshing to have a unique place in Dallas.
Horrible service
I was expecting to be swept off my feet and instead they pulled the rug out from underneath us. Pressing service stained my wedding dress, we were billed incorrectly, management never showed up to assist us for appropriate photo areas in hotel, and Dragonfly's service was rude and unhelpful at best. Trendy and loud. This is the place if you want a pick up joint. If you are looking for class, head across the street to the Crescent.
Tries too hard
Nicely furnished, spacious, well-appointed rooms. Service was generally courteous. Room service brought tasty food. The high speed internet access worked well.
Now the bad news. It was noisy. The decoration of the hotel was a bit tacky. The lobby is a high traffic area with the ultra hip.
Saturday night at 3am the party next door was unbelievably loud.
Management moved us to a quieter room rather than ask the revelers to quiet down.
Complimentary tea and coffee on each floor. Woke up Sunday morning to go fetch mine and found a couple of college students making out on the floor in the hallway.
Not recommended for anyone over the age of 35.
The jury is still out...
We were excited about the prospect of eating at Dragonfly (the hotel restaurant) and then staying the night for a romantic getaway. The decor is edgy, stylish and great fun, and the room we stayed in was large, sumptuous and full of delightful, thoughtful touches. This was everything we could have wished for. The service in the restaurant was awkward and contrived. The morning breakfast (served in the room) was not at all what we had ordered. When it came time to pay the bill, it was wrong - and we had been charged for two things we had not ordered.
What a Joke!
In all of our travels we have never found a hotel that deserves as close to a zero rating as this one does. The concept suite we reserved was tacky, and it was one of the best suites the hotel has to offer. This is the place in New York that people reserve by the hour. They were going for a "Moulin Rouge" feel and ended up proving the point that cheap French perfume is still cheap perfume. Does the ZaZa think that the large bowls of lollipops scattered around the hotel are "cute". Everything in your room is for sale. Are they that pressed to make money that almost everything you pick up has a "you can buy me" type of tag on it? Getting a housekeeper must require a trick we didn't know, we called three times and never did get the requested service. EVERYONE has a key to your room and pops open the door, twice with the privacy request put on the door. If they were going for the look of a cheap French bordello, they achieved that with stunning success. If you're 15-21 and want to sit around sucking on lollipops then this is your type of place. If you have an ounce of maturity and class you'll avoid the ZaZa.
Hip & Glam Hotel ZaZa
Hotel ZaZa lived up to the publicity! It was thoroughly hip, modern, different and fun! The decor was very artsy and refreshing. It was a Wonderful departure from the McRooms at the boring hotels. The room was thoughtfully furnished, modern, clean, and artistically engaging. Definitely a place to relax, enjoy, and drink in the environment. Dragonfly was superb - another good one for Mr. Pyles!!
What a raucous joint
A very good friend and colleague of mine recommended this Dallas newcomer as a "luxury boutique" hotel that I would love. With her suggestion, I made reservations at the place. Not only was the staff difficult and poorly trained from the beginning, but the place resembles a brothel. I had hoped the hotel would reflect the cosmopolitan nature of Dallas, but instead it turned out to be a loud, 20 something wannabe party. I was put into a suite with obnoxious furnishings and garish "art". I am glad that I did not suggest that my other business colleagues stay at this hotel. I would have been embarrassed to check them into such a place. In my opinion, the staff was rude, and seemed to be trying to pull off an LA attitude. As a native New Yorker, who has seen it all in hotels, I was bemused, and angered at the same time. Good Luck! I forsee a "W" on that hotel soon!
Wonderfull ZAZA!!!
Dallas has needed a hotel like this for a long time.
Forget the mansion
stay zaza

Now, Google Suggest is going abroad. It's available to 155 domains in 51 languages.
Adjusting search suggestions for different languages and regions involves more than simply adding a feature. You have to understand locations and interest.

Beautiful rooms (this is a new hotel - just opened spring 2002). Club Oasis is the fitness/swimming center in the basement of the hotel - it's fantastic! Plus, they have personal trainers on hand to help out. This hotel is on Embassy Row - so it's a little bit out of the city center, but on a main road leading to the center. I stayed here free, but I've seen rates from $140 to $1,400 per night. Rooms have high-speed internet connections.

This is generally the case in the low/hard state of accreting black holes, and neglecting this effect leads to an underestimate of the inner disk radius (Gierlinski, Done & Page 2008a MNRAS, 388, 753).
The irradiated inner disk and Compton tail can illuminate the rest of the disk, and a fraction f_out of the bolometric flux is thermalized to the local blackbody temperature at each radius. This reprocessed flux generally dominates the optical and UV bandpass of LMXBs (Gierlinski, Done & Page 2008b MNRAS, submitted).
This is an additive model component.

Advent Verona review
The thin-and-light Verona laptop has an ultra-low-voltage processor, a 13.3-inch screen and a decidedly budget price tag. As such, you can't expect top-notch performance, but, if you need a lightweight machine for Office-type tasks, it may well fit the bill. It's fairly attractive too Read more

ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review
The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro borrows heavily from Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of design, but it costs significantly less. As long as you don't push it too hard, it'll make a decent travel companion. It also packs some useful extras, such as a fingerprint reader that lets you log into your favourite Web sites without a password Read more

Panasonic's foray into the world of Micro Four Thirds technology have yielded quite the success in the form of the GF1, which has sold quite a fair number in the market. Well, the GF1 was followed up by the GF2, but I must say that there were certain quarters who were originally hooked to the GF1 did not really find the need to make the "upgrade" so to speak, so the GF2 never really made up any new ground compared to the GF1 which sort of revolutionized the Micro Four Thirds industry.
What you see here could be the leaked GF3, where it seems to have a mount that is higher than the camera itself. Some sources have cited that the GF3 does not have any hot shoe, and it will be almost a complete touchscreen oriented device by itself. There are strong grounds to believe that this will feature a similar Panasonic G3 16-megapixel sensor, but we will just have to wait until June 13th for it to be announced alongside the Panasonic Leica 25mm f/1.4 lens.
Well, what are you waiting for – if you want the third generation GF series from Panasonic, you would do well to start saving up for one of these right now. You have been forewarned!

Does Singapore Need to Have a Government Department That Addresses Sustainable Business?
March 5, 2014 by Eugene Tay
Filed under Blog
Which government department in Singapore is in-charge of pushing for sustainable business? The answer is none.
There are several government agencies and departments working on different environmental policies, and green initiatives and funding schemes, but there is no one department in-charge of helping businesses in Singapore to be more sustainable in a holistic way.
Although there is a whole-of-government approach to the environment at the top level, there are still silos and gaps at the operational level. Businesses that are interested to be more sustainable usually have to speak to different agencies and departments separately. Read more
Singapore Budget 2014 – Sustainability and Innovation Credit (SIC)
February 21, 2014 by Eugene Tay
Filed under Blog
The Singapore Budget 2014 speech will be delivered by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, in Parliament next Friday.
At Green Business Singapore, our top wish for this year's Budget is to see the government introducing a Sustainability and Innovation Credit (SIC) scheme, similar to the existing popular Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme that is supposed to end in FY 2015.
With rising public awareness on sustainability and increased risks from climate change, food disruptions and energy price fluctuations, most businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) understand the need to reduce their environmental impacts, especially in terms of energy, water and waste. However, they are usually constrained by the lack of trained manpower and resources to take action. Read more

Proposal for Conversations on Sustainable Singapore
January 3, 2014 by Eugene Tay
Filed under Blog
The first "Our SG Conversation for the Green Community" was held in Jan 2013, and was initiated by Faizah Jamal, Nominated Member of Parliament (Environment and Heritage) People and Civic Sector, and Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions. The diverse views of the green community, which included environmental NGOs and groups; individual environment, animal and wildlife activists; and environmental businesses, associations and research academics, added an important voice to the overall national "Our SG Conversation".
After the conversation, there was feedback that the conversation format was useful in seeking and discussing views and issues, and that there should be more conversations focusing on specific environmental issues and to open them to the public. Subsequently, another "Our Singapore Conversation on Green Spaces" was organised by Nature Society (Singapore) and Young NTUC in Nov 2013 to focus on green spaces and their importance and conservation.

You are here:
February 2012 is Service Matters Month. The campaign will showcase some of the providers who are offering blind and partially sighted people great customer service in the areas of travel, shopping and control of money. We'll also be giving our customers the information that they need to challenge any poor service that they experience.
Sainsbury's is one of the supermarkets which provide an order online and home delivery shopping service. They have a postcode checker which enables you to check that they deliver to your address before ordering. So why not save yourself some time by doing your weekly shop online?
It's important to note that when we feature a website on the blog it's not always because they have passed an accessibility audit. Sometimes it can be because a blind or partially sighted user has commented that they like a site and find it easy to use. We feel that it's important to share this information and that's why Sainsbury's Groceries is our "Website of the Month" for February.
There are lots of good things to say about the Sainsbury's site. Everything on screen can be read with a screen reader including the special offers. The site also tells you when you've added an item to your basket and each product title is a heading which makes it easy for screen reader users to move down and find the items listed on the page. The "My Usuals" feature is helpful as it keeps all of your regularly purchased items together in one place for easy shopping.
That being said, the Sainsbury's Groceries site isn't perfect. There are places where it could be improved certainly, but after the frustration we've heard recently from RNIB members about other grocery sites, this is an improvement on others. Check it out and see for yourself. Don't forget to let us know what you think!
Mel who is totally blind and uses the JAWS screen reader had this to say:
I particularly like the Sainsbury's Groceries website. I think it's well laid out and particularly like the fact that each product title is a heading which makes it very quick to look down search results or aisles. It has a lot of information on the site without making it cluttered. If you click on an item for more information, it opens up in a new window which doesn't clutter or confuse the page which you are shopping on. As an established Sainsbury's customer, I have built up a comprehensive list of products I usually buy which makes shopping very quick and easy. I recently did a basic weekly shop which took me 12 minutes from booking delivery to checking out. That to me is absolute independence and empowerment!
We want to hear from you, our users. Which apps and websites should we be writing about on the TechKnowMore blog? Is there an app you can no longer live without? What website is at the top of your favourites list? Drop us an email on email@example.com to let us know, and your favourite service could be featured in the very near future!

Including native .so libraries in Android
After trying to convert some of my old Android projects I realized that the new Gradle build system doesn't seem to include .so files in the build.
Some Stack Overflow posts suggest compiling the .so files into a jar using Gradle, as suggested in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16683775/include-so-library-in-apk-in-android-studio
What worked for me is just creating a zip file with the native library. The structure of the file must be:
Then I just renamed the file as accdecoderso.jar, moved to /libs/ and added it to Gradle dependencies.
dependencies { compile files('libs/accdecoderso.jar') }
This way you can keep your build.gradle file clean and it doesn't have to compile jar files on every run.

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Slowing same-store sales and lower than projected earnings have spurred Wal-Mart to consider trading up its largely low-end assortment.
Michael Duke, president/CEO of the company's flagship store division, told shareholders and employees at this month's annual meeting, here, that "We did a great job of focusing on the opening-price-point customer [but] may not have focused enough on the customer who is willing to pay for a little better quality and style."
Wal-Mart has already begun up-trending its CE assortment with satellite radios and a growing selection of flat-panel LCD and plasma displays, and will likely expand the effort to include better housewares, trendier apparel and even organic food, the company said.
The strategy, which borrows from upscale discounter Target, would ease Wal-Mart's over-dependence on low-income shoppers, a core demographic which has been hardest hit by high gas prices (see story below).
Duke also pledged to improve the shopping experience through shorter checkout lines and cleaner stores and restrooms.
A snazzier CE department could put added pressure on Best Buy, which has long identified Wal-Mart as its No. 1 competitive threat. Indeed, Wal-Mart's aggressive pricing on commodity-type electronics was a key driver in Best Buy's decision to move its assortment further up the pricing curve, which in turn has squeezed midtier specialty A/V chains like Ultimate Electronics.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Three people have been sentenced to prison for their actions following the fatal shootings of four Lakewood police officers in late 2009.
The News Tribune of Tacoma reports that the longest of the sentences was given to Eddie Davis, who received more than a decade for helping Maurice Clemmons after the shooting and for gun charges.
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Arend sentenced Clemmons' friend Doug Davis to 7½ years on weapons charges and his aunt Letrecia Nelson to more than six years.
The sentences were far shorter than prosecutors sought. They wanted 25 years for Eddie Davis, 20 years for Doug Davis and 15 years for Nelson.
In all seven people were accused of helping Clemmons after the November 2009 shooting. Five have been convicted, one was acquitted and another, alleged getaway driver Darcus Allen, awaits trial.

Emergency Medicine Doctor: Educational Requirements
Emergency medicine doctors typically care for patients in critical condition. Entering this medical profession requires extensive schooling. Students will need undergraduate studies, medical school, a residency program and, possibly, a fellowship.
Educational Requirements for an Emergency Medicine Doctor
Emergency medicine doctors work in emergency rooms (ERs) or trauma centers and treat patients who need immediate care. These professionals specialize in advanced cardiac life support, trauma care and management of other life-threatening conditions. They may treat general emergencies or work in a specialty and treat only patients within that specialization. Emergency medicine doctors must be able to make quick decisions and lead a team of other medical professionals during intensely stressful situations.
Payscale.com indicated in October of 2013 that most emergency room doctors made about $103,000 to $400,000 per year. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that employment for doctors overall will rise 24% in the U.S. during the 2010-2020 decade.
Undergraduate Degree
Most students earn a bachelor's degree prior to medical school, but only 3 years of undergraduate work is required for admission. While there isn't a bachelor's degree program specific to emergency medicine, students may major in pre-medicine or a related science-based major. Relevant coursework that prospective emergency medicine doctors may take include chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology. Undergraduates may gain practical experience volunteering in medical centers.
Medical School
The first two years of medical school are referred to as the pre-clinical years. During this period, students study the major systems of the body, diseases and foundational techniques in patient care. The final two years are the clinical years in which students perform supervised clinical clerkships. Clerkships in emergency medicine introduce students to the concepts used in identifying life-threatening conditions and providing treatment.
Students looking for prospective medical schools may want to consider only accredited schools because graduation from an accredited school is required to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). All states require doctors to pass the USMLE to legally practice medicine. Medical schools in the U.S. are accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
Residency Program
Residency programs, typically, last three or four years and provide increased independence with greater responsibility in patient care. The first year introduces residents to the broad aspects of emergency medicine, such as critical care and trauma. For the remainder of the program, residents perform rotations in specialties, like toxicology and pediatrics, and may experience flight training. Some programs offer a joint residency in emergency and internal medicine.
When applying for residencies, students may want to consider only programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). According to the ACGME, accredited programs are a prerequisite for certification by primary medical boards and many subspecialty medical boards (www.acgme.org).
Fellowship Program
Individuals who wish to specialize in a particular area of emergency medicine will need to complete a fellowship.

Scouting Report on Each Red Sox Pitcher, Catcher Heading into Spring Training
By Douglas Sibor ,
"Ace" Jon Lester is just one of many Sox pitchers looking to improve their performance in 2013.
With pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training 2013 on February 10, the Boston Red Sox are about ready to begin a new chapter in their organization's history. After the last two seasons ended in disaster, the multitude of new faces will be a welcome sight for fans and players alike.
The Sox still have a lot of question marks, but one thing that can't be questioned is the team's depth at the battery positions. In two weeks, an abundance of MLB-tested catchers and pitchers will report to Fort Myers as they vie for a select few spots on the final roster.
Let's take a look at each legitimate contender for spots on the pitching staff and behind the plate.
2012 Stats (with Braves): 62 G, .256 AVG., 9 HR, 23 RBI, .770 OPS
What the Sox's intentions are with their other two incumbent catchers remains unclear. Ross' role on the 2013 roster is clearly defined, however.
The veteran backstop is expected to play a similar role as he did with Atlanta and will likely put up a similar offensive output as well.
Ross is in Boston to mentor the younger catchers, bring an experienced voice to the pitching staff and help stabilize the clubhouse.
He should be able to fill exactly that role, but nothing more.
2012 Stats: 121 G, .222 AVG., 25 HR, 59 RBI, .742 OPS
Presumably the starter at catcher, Saltalamacchia enjoyed a solid season at the plate in 2012. He posted career highs in hits, home runs, RBI and OPS despite hitting for a low average and striking out far too often (139).
For 2013, Salty will undoubtedly look to repeat his power numbers of last season, while lowering the strikeout totals that at times made him a liability at the plate.
As long as he isn't traded, the Sox can expect better numbers across the board from their regular backstop.
2012 Stats: 46 G, .157 AVG., 2 HR, 12 RBI, .459 OPS
Lavarnway will go to camp with the big league club, but given his performance from 2012 and the signing of David Ross, it is no sure thing he'll be on the MLB roster when the season begins.
While the entire 2012 season was a disappointment, Lavarnway's offensive regression was a particularly large letdown, as the Sox clearly wanted him to grab the starting role.
He is at a critical crossroads in his development. If Lavarnway doesn't have a good spring, he faces another season languishing down in Pawtucket.
However, if he forces the issue with a good performance in Ft. Myers, it would free up the Sox to move Saltalamacchia to fill holes in other areas of the roster.
2012 Stats: 33 GS, 205.1 IP, 9-14, 4.82 ERA, 1.38 WHIP
For the purported "ace" of the Red Sox rotation, Jon Lester was supremely disappointing in 2012. His ERA and WHIP were his worst for a full season, and his demeanor on the mound also took a surprisingly downward turn, as he glowered and yelled at umpires after seemingly every close call.
Fortunately, in 2013 he will likely return to form, as the return of John Farrell will help bring a level of accountability back to the pitching staff that was entirely absent under former manager Bobby Valentine.
Lester will benefit greatly from this newfound stability; he had the best seasons of his career when Farrell was his pitching coach. Look for a bounce-back season from the lefty in 2013.
2012 Stats: 29 GS, 189.1 IP, 11-8, 4.56 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
Buchholz bounced back after an injury-plagued 2011, posting strong numbers in the season's middle four months. If you removed his April and September numbers, Buchholz's ERA would have been over a full run lower, and he would have had the same number of wins.
If you excuse his poor start to 2012, the right-hander certainly looks like he'll have another strong season atop the Sox rotation in 2013. The key, as always, is if he can stay healthy.
2012 Stats: 29 GS, 161.0 IP, 11-10, 4.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP
It was an excellent first effort for Doubront last year, who, despite some inconsistency late in the year, ended up with a solid enough stat line for someone who was, functionally, a rookie. The 161.0 innings he threw were a career high, and he was the most consistent pitcher on the staff for the first half of the season.
This will be a fascinating season for Doubront, as he now will need to prove he can be successful for a full year.
If he can put together a full season like his first half last year, the Sox will suddenly have tremendous depth in the rotation.
2012 Stats (with Cubs and Rangers): 28 GS, 173.0 IP, 12-8, 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
Dempster was the National League's ERA leader when he was shipped from the Cubs to the Rangers at last year's trade deadline, and he initially struggled in his first foray with the American League.
However, his decent finish (6-2, 4.01 ERA in his last nine starts) served as an encouraging sign that the Canadian-born righty can thrive in the AL.
He'll be put to the test in the high-powered AL East, and Sox fans really don't know what to expect from him. It seems like anything is on the table, really. If he pitches great, no one would be shocked, while it wouldn't be surprising if he pitches poorly, either.
For what it's worth, his lifetime record in interleague play (11-15, 4.63 ERA) seems to indicate that he will be a decent enough No. 4 or 5 starter.
2011 Stats (injured all of 2012): 28 GS, 160.0 IP, 12-12, 6.41 ERA, 1.62 WHIP
Lackey is a wild card in the Sox rotation, a man who once was good but has been such an epic failure in Boston that any halfway serviceable performance on the mound will be seen as a huge win.
His 2011 performance was positively heinous, but it is worth noting that he was clearly injured for much of that season given that he had Tommy John surgery immediately afterwards.
Lackey is reportedly in "great shape," according to new manager John Farrell (via The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo). That could be the first sign pointing towards a year of reclamation for the once-proud right-hander.
With expectations this low, the pressure will finally be off.
2012 Stats (with Pirates): 63 G, 36 Saves, 5-2, 2.72 ERA, 1.27 WHIP
It is always hard to assess how relievers will fare when changing teams and leagues (just ask Mark Melancon or Andrew Bailey), but Hanrahan seems to have the makeup to be successful in a Sox uniform. Having been an All-Star in each of the last two seasons, he clearly has the track record of success the Sox need.
There is a major difference, though, between the bright lights of Boston and the relative anonymity in which players live in Pittsburgh. Some players thrive on it (Jonathan Papelbon), while others wilt (Melancon, and many others).
How Hanrahan handles the spotlight from a mental perspective will make all the difference as to whether or not he is successful as the team's closer.
2012 Stats: 19 G, 6 Saves, 1-1, 7.04 ERA, 1.89 WHIP
2012 was not a good year for Andrew Bailey.
Immediately upon joining his new team, he injured himself in a freak accident during spring training. After finally returning late in the season, he was horrible on the mound. Then, this offseason, he lost his closer's job without ever having a chance to defend it.
The good news is that 2013 can't get much worse. Bailey was an All-Star in two of his first three seasons—the guy knows how to pitch.
As long as he can stay healthy, it is reasonable to think he will either become an elite setup man for the Sox or could serve as valuable trade bait for another team.
2012 Stats (with Rangers): 37 G, 36.0 IP, 0-0, 1.75 ERA, 0.64 WHIP
Ever since Uehara converted from starter to reliever, he has been practically unhittable.
The 37-year-old Japanese right-hander has compiled a 2.36 career ERA in 145 appearances out of the bullpen, and the Sox are hoping he can be just as successful again this year.
Signed to a one-year deal, Uehara is a relatively low-risk signing. He also brings exceptional control to the mound, having walked only three hitters all season in 2012.
He will be a valuable asset in the seventh and eighth innings.
2012 Stats: 37 G (9 GS), 76.1 IP, 3-4, 3.77 ERA, 1.23 WHIP
Morales was arguably the Red Sox's most valuable pitcher last season, working in pretty much every conceivable role. He started nine games and worked in both long and short relief situations.
This season, he will likely be used as the long man unless one of the starters goes down with an injury.
Morales is just 27 years old, so he is, in fact, likely still developing. Considering how good he looked at times last year, the Sox have a hugely valuable asset here.
The key will be finding the right role for him.
2012 Stats: 69 G, 25 Saves, 2-10, 5.36 ERA, 1.32 WHIP
At the end of last season, it looked as if the volatile Aceves was done in a Red Sox uniform.
But it appears he will be back. He will need to curtail his antics, though, if he wants to have any hope of sticking with the Sox for much longer.
His bad behavior overshadowed a solid year for the Ace, who embraced the unfamiliar role of closer after being passed over for a spot in the starting rotation.
He'll likely return to a setup role this season, and that consistency should pay off for the team in the form of a quieter, more effective Aceves.
2012 Stats (with Diamondbacks and Red Sox): 63 G, 63.1 IP, 3-0, 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP
Because Boston had so many flaws last season, the team's acquisition of Breslow flew under the radar. He was, however, excellent and deserves the two-year deal he just signed with the team.
Breslow will likely see a mix of low- and high-leverage situations in 2013, as he splits the lefty setup duties with Andrew Miller.
As someone who shuts down righties and lefties with equal ability (righties hit .224 off him, lefties .226 in 2012), the left-hander has proven that he can pitch in any situation the team needs.
2012 Stats: 53 G, 40.1 IP, 3-2, 3.35 ERA, 1.19 WHIP
Miller was a pleasant surprise out of the bullpen last year, making the transition from starter to lefty specialist. In 2012, he held left-handed hitters to a paltry .149 batting average over 87 at-bats.
He'll step right into the same role this season, but now expectations are a bit higher.
However, there is no reason to think he shouldn't be able to handle it. Expect Farrell to deploy him in any situation where the Sox simply need to get a left-handed hitter out.
2012 Stats: 17 G (10 GS), 59.1 IP, 5-6, 6.22 ERA, 1.74 WHIP
The drama surrounding Daniel Bard will be far different this spring than last year. It is no longer a question of where Bard should be pitching but if.
According to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, Farrell said that Bard "looked very good" in a recent bullpen session, and the new manager plans to use Bard in the setup role in which he previously thrived.
The question will be if there's room for him on the MLB roster to do so.
If Bard can return to his old self under his old mentor, that would be a huge boon for the entire Sox staff. If he can't, the team has the depth to weather his loss, while he returns to Pawtucket to continue working out the kinks.

Shopping in Denpasar is an exciting journey, enabling you to see much of the highlights of the town in the process. As modern and traditional approaches blend here, you can either bargain prices down on lower-priced goods or pay the full price for higher-quality fixed-price goods.
In traditional markets, shops selling similar items are often clustered together which makes negotiating and comparing prices easier. Plazas commonly feature fixed prices though bargaining is still possible. Every mall in the city consists of a department store stocking both local and brand labels, a supermarket, and a few small outlets offering various kinds of products.
For many years, Duta Silk has been famous for its range of fine-quality silk, linen, cotton and much more. The small store is located next to the large Matahari Department Store in Denpasar, yet it provides what's not available at its neighbour; calibres of fabrics are here, as well beautiful laces and buttons. Find high quality silks, linens, cottons, lace, wool and velvet inside Duta Silk.
Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00
Location: Komplek Duta Permai, Block 1, Jalan Dewi Sartika, Denpasar
Tel: +62 (0)361 232 818
Jalan Sulawesi is a small, yet commercial street in the city and it is well known for its fabric shops. Here, you will find rich choices of textiles: cotton, silk, Chinese satins, brocades and much more. Clothing is also a popular option here, particularly if you want to try the Balinese traditional dress. The shops may seem to offer the same products but each shop is different and it's not a bad idea to scour from one to another and compare what's on offer. Don't forget to bargain prices down along this row.
Location: Behind Pasar Badung & Kumbasari
Kevala Ceramics features handmade pieces crafted from selected clays, countless glazes and innovative shapes. Its collection of creations are proudly displayed in some of the finest homes, hotels, restaurants and spas in Asia.

Also present are a range of fashionable leather bags, accessories and jewellery selections to match any style. Also in house are hip selections for children.
Opening Hours: 10:00 - 21:00
Location: Jalan Setiabudi 46, Denpasar
Since 2007 Krisna Bali (also known as Krisna Oleh-Oleh Khas Bali, with oleh-oleh meaning 'souvenir') has been an excellent one-stop souvenir and gift shopping destination. Everything here is at a fixed price yet incredibly cheap. Krisna sells an immense amount of items, from earrings made of coconut shell to rattan handbags, various kinds of clothing and tropical wear, T-shirts and food - mostly bearing cartoons or special prints - all to remind you of Bali.
Krisna's first outlet on Jalan Nusa Indah is a frequent destination site for holidaying 'study tours' from local and national schools, as well as government institutions and offices, as it offers free factory tours for visitors to witness the manufacturing, printing and distribution processes of its Krisna Bali labelled cotton shirts.
The second Krisna outlet on Jalan Nusa Kambangan is often frequented by local and international visitors due to its very strategic location in the centre of town, and as a very convenient stopover for those touring the city of Denpasar and wanting a simple and complete place to shop for gifts. Rumah Kaos Bali or 'Bali T-Shirt House' features at every Krisna outlet offering its flagship products.
Location: Jalan Nusa Indah 79 and Jalan Nusa Kambangan 160A, Denpasar

LotteMart Wholesale Bali is the Bali store branch of PT Lotte Shopping Indonesia, a leading wholesale distributor of food products and non-food products. The store is easily noticeable along the Kuta-Sanur thoroughfare, with the huge roadside signage and the visible spacious carpark.
LotteMart is favorite among locals and businesses who purchase in bulk, be it groceries, clothing items, household goods, stationary goods, electronics, office equipment, furniture and miscellany which are all sold at wholesale prices. It was previously Makro Bali prior to the acquisition by Lotte in 2010.

The selection of rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, brooches and earrings come in both western and Balinese designs. Naia House also offers ultrasonic cleaning, re-polishing and re-chroming.
Location: Jalan Teuku Umar 65D
Less than 20 minutes from Kuta stands the biggest traditional market (pasar) in Denpasar with goods a lot cheaper than most markets. Bargaining is accepted here and should be kept light hearted as most merchants here don't go for the hard sell that prevails at other traditional markets. Pasar Badung and Pasar Kumbasari are two four-story buildings, separated by the Tukad Badung River.
They are both open for 24 hours, although what is available depends on the time of the day. During normal hours, you can find produce on the ground floor along with ceremonial goods. The upper floors of each building sell craftware and typical Balinese souvenirs ranging from sarongs to carved wooden statues, along with household and textile items. At night, food vendors set up their stalls.
Location: Jalan Gajah Mada
The name says it all: Hundreds of birds, poultry products, and a menagerie of other animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits and exotic creatures and tropical fish are displayed here. Buyers would be forgiven for sometimes wondering how the more exotic ones were taken from the dark jungles of Indonesia and ended up here.
Opposite the bird market is a section for dogs, cats and puppies. This noisy market can be found in two different locations, although one stands on its own while the other shares location with Sanglah market.
Location: Jalan Veteran, about 500m north of Catur Muka statue and 200 metres east of Sanglah Hospital
In Denpasar, the short, yet busy section of several kiosks selling fresh flowers on the side of the road right before Tiara Dewata is very popular and goes by the name 'pasar kembang' (flower market). The large selection of many different types of flowers is handy for bouquets to chaplets, weddings or any memorable occasion. If you can't find what you're looking for, it's possible to order special arrangements. One piece of advice; there are no parking facilities to the market.
Location: Jalan Mayjen Sutoyo
The city's second biggest traditional market is named after its area, Kereneng. Up to 1,100 vendors sell all sorts of merchandise throughout this three-storey building. Although the condition and environment here is rather far from being clean and organised, it's still a favourite place for locals to buy their daily needs at cheap prices.
Individual 'money changers' wander about shouting, "Pis wek, pis wek", offering crisp new 500 Rupiah notes for old and beaten up 1,000 Rupiah bills and other combinations of exchange. Upon entering, you will find two giant statues symbolically guarding the place and everyone in it. After 15:00, the popular night market takes over.
Location: Jalan Kamboja, East Denpasar
Another traditional market that sells commodities for daily needs is located right next to the Sanglah Hospital. It is easily accessible by both private and public transport and only 2.5km away from downtown Denpasar. It is open from 06:00 until early evening.
Location: Jalan Diponegoro
Pertokoan Kerta Wijaya (pertokoan means 'shopping complex' in Indonesian) is filled with various shops ranging from those selling batik shirts, shoes and bags, and electronics. There is also a fresh fruit store called Moena Fresh which also prepares fresh tropical fruit juices and fruit cocktails on the borders of the complex. Kerta Wijaya was once the home of one of the major supermarkets in Denpasar, the Tragia Department Store, which closed in 2007.
Location: Jalan Diponegoro, Denpasar
Pertokoan Surdirman Agung is a lively shopping complex in Denpasar that is home to a number of various shops, ranging from women's and children's fashion boutiques, Clandy's shop for baby items, a number of spas and salons, opthalmology and optics, digital photo and camera shops, and warung foodstalls. Although most offer items at fixed prices, the price range are mostly good bargains compared to other touristy areas.
Opening Hours: 10:00 - 22:00
Location: Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Denpasar
The first mall to open in Denpasar, Ramayana (Mal Bali) is definitely worth a visit. Located a distance from the main tourist area, it is full of local colour. On the first floor you will find two optical retailers, women and kids' clothing, a shop stocking musical and sports equipment, a Pizza Hut restaurant, and a corner with outlets selling perfume, cosmetics, as well sunglasses.
BVLGARI, Calvin Klein, and Revlon are the only international brands here. The second floor features men's clothes, batik wear, accessories, and footwear for men and women. The 'Sport Station' corner displays Reebok, Converse, Puma and Airwalk. The third floor has a supermarket, a food court, a DVD (pirated) store, a pawnbroker, an optician, as well as a few outlets selling mobile phones, bags, and more.
The fourth floor is dedicated to recreation with a bowling centre, karaoke instant machines, games zone, two salons, reflexology centre, and a bookstore. Not far from the vehicles entrance stands a row of ATMs plus a furniture outlet.
Location: Jalan Diponegoro 103
Robinson Mal Denpasar is very easy to spot with a big McDonald's branch attached to the right side of the building. The first floor has women's clothing, accessories, and underwear, as well a supermarket. On the second floor you will find a games area, batik wear, as well men and boy's clothes.
Everything is locally sourced here except for the Reebok, Converse, Puma, and Airwalk footwear at the 'Sport Station' corner. Outside, there are a few small food stalls and enough parking spaces as well in the basement.
Opening Hours: 10:00 - 22:00
Location: At the busy crossroads of Jalan Dewi Sartika, Jalan Sudirman, and Jalan Puputan
Jalan Teuku Umar is the biggest business centre on the island with electronic and phone shops peppered throughout the street. From Kuta, go northeast at the big crossroads from Jalan Imam Bonjol and drive until the Simpang Enam roundabout. As you travel north to the crossroads to Jalan Diponegoro, you'll see lots of places to get your gadgets fixed, buy new laptops cheaper than back home, or even to sell your phone. Sony, Blackberry, Apple, LG, Nokia, Samsung, and dozens more are available here.
Location: Jalan Teuku Umar
Tiara Dewata is a two-storey building housing a department store, a supermarket, various outlets and stalls, a food court and a kids' centre. It has rather limited parking space and a swimming pool at its southeast corner. Men and women's clothes, bags, footwear, cosmetics, handicrafts and food products can be found on the first floor with occasional special offers on products. On the second floor you'll find children's clothes, books, stationery items and musical instruments. Tiara Dewata is popular with locals for its very reasonable prices.
Opening Hours: 08:30 – 22:00
Address: Jalan Mayjen Sutoyo 55, Denpasar

McGhee rules out Paterson return
Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee fears Jim Paterson's loan spell at Pittodrie is probably over after the midfielder suffered an Achilles injury.The 30-year-old is back at Plymouth receiving treatment, after being hurt during the 2-2 draw with Dundee United on 20 March. "By the time he's recovered from the injury, he'll have to get fit to play," McGhee told BBC Scotland. "I think that's going to be too far away for him to to be able do that."
