Comments about Melissa and Doug Swivel Bridge Train Set:
I bought this for my 3 year old grandson. The swivel bridge train set is perfect for all of his Thomas the Train and friends. Now when he comes over he spends hours using his imagination. The great part for me, is that is that I can break it down and store it until the next visit.

Day 1
Fly to Sofia. On arrival in the late afternoon we transfer 2 hours 45 minutes to our hotel in Bansko, an atmospheric mountain town at the gateway to the Pirin Mountains, which will be our base for the next few days.
Day 2
Having hiked up the Demyanitsa Valley, we start a long steady climb which takes us first past the Vasilashki lakes, then two more small but beautifully formed lakes known as the 'Eyes of Todorka'. Eventually we cross over the high pass Todorina Porta (2,500m), an outstanding viewpoint, before descending steeply via the Bunderishki lakes to the Vihren hut where we will be picked up and driven on down to our base.
Walking Time: 5-6 hours; Total Ascent: +1,200m; Total Descent: -650m.
Day 3
Today we will attempt an ascent of Mt. Vihren (2,914m), the highest peak in the 'Pirin' National Park and the second highest in Bulgaria. Beginning from the Vihren hut, our walk takes us steadily up into the dramatic Golyam Kazan cirque which lies tucked in directly beneath Vihren's towering 400 metre high north wall. Here, as well as enjoying breathtaking mountain scenery, we can also find several beautiful endemic alpine flowers such as the delicate yellow 'Pirin Poppy'. From the cirque, a long exciting scramble takes us up white marble rocks to the summit, which on a clear day offers a wonderful panorama over the entire Pirin range. There follows a steep descent back down to our bus for the return to Bansko.
Walking Time: 4-5 hours; Total Ascent: +1,000m; Total Descent: -1,000m.
Day 4
Leaving Bansko, we transfer to the Rila Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As well as visiting the monastery itself, we will also have a pleasant walk in the surrounding forests which have been designated a nature park. During our walk we will have the chance to visit a couple of isolated chapels and a cave which are closely associated with the intriguing life story of St. Ivan Rilski, a local hermit who was to become the patron saint of Bulgaria.
Walking Time: 1.5 hours; Total Ascent: +250m; Total Descent: -100m.
Day 5
Whilst our luggage is transferred round the mountains by road, we make a long demanding trek through the heart of the Rila National Park. Our route leads us up and over one of the highest and most imposing ridges in the Rila Mountains. Finally rejoining our bus on the other side of the range, we transfer to our hotel.
Walking Time: 7 hours; Total Ascent: +1,400m; Total Descent: -1,000m.
Day 6
Today we explore the region at the head of the Malyovitsa Valley, and attempt an ascent of Mt. Malyovitsa (2,729m), one of the highest and most imposing peaks in this part of the Rila Mountains. The whole walk offers stunning views, as well as an opportunity to observe an interesting variety of typical alpine birds.
Walking Time: 5-6 hours; Total Ascent: +1,000m; Total Descent: -1,000m.
Day 7
Our goal for today is Mt. Musala (2,925m), the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula. To accomplish the ascent as a day walk, we will use the cabin-lift from Borovets which will take us up to a starting altitude of about 2,300m. The route to the summit is well-graded, winding up past a succession of sparkling glacial lakes around the shores of which one can find blooming the endemic 'Rila Primrose'. We then end the day with short 1 hour 30 minutes transfer to Sofia, where we will spend our final night.
Walking Time: 5 hours; Total Ascent: +600m; Total Descent: -600m.
Day 8
Fly back to London

Biography (Critical Survey of Mystery & Detective Fiction, Revised Edition)
Gore Vidal (Edgar Box) was born Eugene Luther Vidal to Eugene Vidal and Nina Gore Vidal on October 3, 1925, at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. Shortly thereafter, his family moved to Washington, D.C.—the setting of much of Vidal's fiction—and lived with his maternal grandfather, Senator Thomas Pryor Gore of Oklahoma. Vidal's parents were divorced when he was ten. His mother married Hugh D. Auchincloss, and Vidal lived at the Auchincloss estate in Virginia while attending St. Alban's School in Washington.
By the time Vidal was graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1940, he had toured England and the United States and renamed himself Gore Vidal. He joined the army in 1943, studied engineering at the Virginia Military Institute for one term, and was appointed to the rank of maritime warrant officer on October 24, 1944. Williwaw, his novel about his war experiences, was published in 1946.
After the war, Vidal traveled widely in Europe, Central America, and the United States, making his living writing and lecturing. After completing his modestly successful detective series in 1954 as Edgar Box, he abandoned that name and became a highly successful television writer for two years, authoring such scripts as Barn Burning (televised August 17, 1954) and The Turn of the Screw (televised February 13, 1955). By 1956, he was also writing film scripts for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. His stage play, Visit to a Small Planet: A Comedy Akin to a Vaudeville, published in 1956, ran for 338 performances on Broadway in 1957. Even more successful was his play The Best Man: A Play About Politics, which ran for 520 performances in 1960.
A political commentator, drama critic for The Reporter, candidate for Congress (in 1960) and for the Senate (in 1982), Vidal has been a prolific writer and a provocative public personality. His best-known and most highly acclaimed novels are Julian (1964), Myra Breckinridge (1968), Burr (1973), and Lincoln (1984). He has achieved even greater reputation as an essayist. His principal collection of nonfictional prose is Homage to Daniel Shays: Collected Essays, 1952-1972 (1972).
Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Gore Vidal, named Eugene Luther Vidal at birth, was born on October 3, 1925, at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. His father, Eugene Vidal, was an instructor in the new science of aeronautics; he later founded airlines and in the 1930's was director of air commerce for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Gore's mother, Nina, was the beautiful and socially prominent daughter of Oklahoma senator Thomas P. Gore.
Soon after Gore's birth, his family moved to Washington, D.C., and lived with his grandfather. Senator Gore was blind; in exchange for young Gore's reading to him, the senator allowed his grandson to use his huge library. Gore began to educate himself at age five, when he could read and write. When the Vidal marriage ended in divorce in 1935, Nina married Hugh D. Auchincloss, a wealthy investment banker. Gore moved to the huge Auchincloss estate in Virginia, only a few miles from his grandfather Gore.
Young Gore grew up among the United States' political, economic, and journalistic elite. He attended good private schools with other young men from prominent families, spending the happiest three years of his life at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. After he graduated in 1943, during World War II, he immediately went into the Army. He never went to college but is considered one of the most learned literary figures of his generation.
Before he left the Army in 1946, Vidal finished writing his first two published novels, Williwaw (1946) and In a Yellow Wood (1947). These established him as one of the best of the young postwar writers. By...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Gore Vidal has proved to be the master of historical fiction in the post-World War II era. His concern with the nature of Western civilization and with the way people gain and use power has led him to explore history from sixth century b.c.e. Athens to modern Washington, D.C. Wit, irony, and deep pessimism about the human estate characterize his work.
Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Gore Vidal was born Eugene Luther Vidal on October 3, 1925, at West Point, where his father, Eugene Vidal, taught aeronautics at the military academy. His father helped to establish civil aviation in the United States and later became the director of air commerce in Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential administration. His mother, Nina, was a beautiful socialite, the daughter of Thomas P. Gore, the powerful U.S. senator from Oklahoma, and soon after Vidal's birth, the family moved to Senator Gore's mansion in Washington, D.C. He began using the name Gore Vidal when he was fourteen years old.
One of the most learned of contemporary writers, Vidal never went to college. His education began at the home of Senator Gore: The senator, who was blind, used his grandson as a reader and in return gave him free run of his huge library. In 1935, Nina and Eugene Vidal were divorced, and Nina married Hugh D. Auchincloss, a member of a prominent family of bankers and lawyers. Gore Vidal then moved with his mother to the Auchincloss estate on the Potomac River in Virginia, where his education included rubbing shoulders with the nation's political, economic, and journalistic elite.
Vidal was brought up removed from real life, he has stated, protected from such unpleasant realities as the effects of the Great Depression. He joined other patrician sons at St. Albans School, after which he toured Europe in 1939, then spent one year at Los Alamos School in New Mexico before finishing his formal education with three years at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire.
In 1943, Vidal joined the U.S. Army and served on a transport ship in the Aleutian Islands. His military service gave him subject matter and time to write his first novel, Williwaw. He finished his second book, In a Yellow Wood, before he left the Army. In 1946, he went to work as an editor for E. P. Dutton and soon published The City and the Pillar. Good critical and popular response brought him recognition as one of the nation's best young authors. He used Guatemala as his home base from 1947 to 1949 and then bought an old estate, Edgewater, on the Hudson River in New York. He wrote five more novels before he was thirty years old.
Meanwhile, a controversy engulfed Vidal and shifted his life and career. The City and the Pillar deals with homosexuality, and because of this, the literary establishment removed him from its list of "approved" writers and critics largely ignored his next few novels. To earn money in the 1950's, Vidal wrote mysteries under the name Edgar Box and wrote scripts for the...

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
This versatile and controversial American novelist, dramatist, and essayist is a keen observer of the American scene. He is pessimistic about the future of his country, whose decline he analogizes, often subtly, with the late Roman Empire.
Along the way, Gore Vidal often allows his message, even strong beliefs, to have the better of his characterizations. There are exceptions to his cardboard personalities. For example, he fleshes out Jim Willard in The City and the Pillar as an average all-American boy who is confused in his journey to homosexual self-discovery. In Myra Breckinridge, Myra is the transsexual narrator who entertains a life's dream of vindicating women by liberating them from male dominance and thus completely redefining the balance between the sexes. In the sequel, Myron, the libidinous and imperious Myra and her male alter ego, Myron, alternately possess the Breckinridge psyche. Here also, Vidal snipes at what he considers American intolerance of sexual variety.
In his so-called American chronicle novels, such as Washington, D.C., Burr, 1876, and Lincoln, as well as in his most successful play, The Best Man, the author describes the infighting, greedy maneuvering, corruption, and social dalliance that have characterized American political life and many of its major protagonists. Aaron Burr, the least admired early celebrity, and Abraham Lincoln are given credible human, even superhuman, dimensions, admittedly with some historical revisionism and poetic license.
It is in Williwaw, Vidal's first successful novel, that the characters are among the most fully drawn. The novel is set in the Aleutian islands and profiles a group of bored World War II servicemen removed from more civilized environments. Vidal's issues in the wide diversity, range, and volume of his works are as varied as his characters. In In a Yellow Wood (1947), love of money triumphs over passion. In The Judgment of Paris, love wins out over riches and power. In Julian, Vidal wants to show that, just because Christianity won the struggle against the Hellenistic pagan gods, such an outcome was not necessarily inevitable.
Regardless of the genre or the plot or the alleged time frame or the setting of his many novels, plays, and motion picture and television scripts, Vidal has found a popular way to use his characters as vehicles for his message about sexual mores and the decadence of American political institutions.
Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Regarded as one of the most promising novelists to emerge in the period after World War II, Gore Vidal (vee-DAHL) not only created an important body of fiction but also became an influential man of letters, rivaling his contemporary John Updike in the scope and consistency of his work. Born Eugene Luther Vidal to a politically prominent family—he adopted his name "Gore" in honor of his grandfather, Oklahoma senator Thomas P. Gore, and is a distant cousin of former vice president Al Gore—Vidal grew up in Washington, D.C., and has written novels and essays that have the authoritative character of one steeped in politics, but he first came to prominence with the war novel Williwaw. His reputation took a sharp downturn...

I got a concussion in a car accident about 3 months ago and i didn´t have the luxury of laying on my ass for 3 weeks to recover. It all comes down to this problem of my stomach growling if I don´t have enough to eat,so I had a whopping two days to pull myself together.To me,this shows the outright cowardliness of this woman,refusing to face the music for an egregious screw ups. She can´t deny there were request sent straight to her office asking for more security,time and time again.She doesn´t want to asnwer why the military was told to stand down while people were murdered and dragged through the street.She doesn´t want to explain why she copped out on sunday shows because she was too worn down.This beady eyed old hag doesn´t want anything to get in her way of the obsession with getting back to the WH. People would have more respect if she just came clean but that isn´t the liberal´s way.Her accident proneness or chronic fatigue syndrome will magically go away in time for another run at the WH. "All I needed was some rest time."
The prospect of "testifying under oath" always cause the Clintons problems. Fits, seizures and sinking spells. Usual remedy is take a disappearing pill and see us in a month. Long after the get well cards from the enemedia stop coming.
The dog ate my homework!
Tme for Rush to bring back his parody of mrs. grifter........I don´t remember...
How do you fall when supported by ample ankles like hers?
And she wants to be President!!!! I don´t think so. My daughter when a teenager got a concussion and had to get back in school. I say what a wimp!!! Sitting in a chair before congress would hurt her head!!! Please!!!!
Can´t she testify by phone?
This only means one thing....whatever she has to say on Benghazi is far more damaging than looking like a imbecile that supposedly bumped her head.Hunker down and wait, this is going to be good.
Lets see if the Republicans can muster the courage to issue a Contempt of Congress Sanction. Not that it will do any good. Look what happened to Holder, exactly nothing!!
And the beat goes on! January she steps down and no one will know about who, what and when of Benghazi .
"That´s OK Hitlery... Take two aspirin and we´ll grill you when you feel better. Just don´t fly out of town. Can´t do that if you are ill."
This administration and its minions are blatantly disregarding the law, and flaunting it. They have zero regard for this country, or its citizens. They are leeches and liars, and if the majority of the people weren´t dialing their free Obamaphones, buying booze with their foodstamps, voting in place of dead people and waiting for their extended unemployment checks to come, they wouldn´t last another minute in office. They´d be impeached...or maybe even tarred and feathered or put in stocks in the public square!
Put pressure on Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: 202 225-3931and John Kerry: 202 224-2742
This is not the same old "Fight for the Right", punch´em in the gut, death before dishonor Hillary Clinton we have all come to know and love.I shall be severely disappointed if she doesn´t show up and give them Heck.

What do you have currently? To be honest, the TRX450R doesn't do much for me. The YFZ450 is a much better machine IMO
I wouldn't hesitate buying a used quad and paying cash. Thats what I did, I picked up an 03' YFZ mostly stock for $2800 couple years back, its been a great machine |

I have a 00' honda 400EX
I decided im going to rebuild.. there's quite a few nice bottom ends on ebay so im going to pick one up since my case is full of rewelds.. then build onto that.. new 440 jug Stage 2 Hotcam carb jetting.. possibly a HMF pipe new CDI box and coil.. and within the next day or two i'm stripping it down to a bare frame sand blast the rusty areas then scuff the rest and shoot it all Primer black.. in multiple coats.. then I'm ordering a set of Maier BLACK plastics for it.. re-painting the wheels black ( haven't decided gloss or Flat) i would love to powder coat all this stuff but i still have almost a full quart of black primer left from the s10 paint job.. and powder coat just isn't in the budget.. |

Can't lose with 42s
A much better alternative would be a 416, Tom Carlson of TC Racing did one for a buddy of mine and back in the day (before YFZs and 450Rs) it would beat piped 250Rs & banshees. Another good idea is to get rid of the stock 400 carb, I'd go with an FCR (stock on YFZs, up until 08 or 09 I believe) These are just suggestions, do what you want with them. PM me for a special discount on HMF, I have a hookup there |

The BNY Mellon FoHF subsidiary has been investing in hedge funds since the early 1980s
By Claire Makin
It was nearly 30 years ago that EACM – in a previous incarnation – began advising institutional clients on hedge fund investing. Now, more than 80% of the firm's assets consist of 'bespoke' hedge fund portfolio mandates for institutions, which is an enviable amount by the standards of most of EACM's competitors.
"Coming from an institutional consulting firm, our culture is about providing solutions," says William Crerend, chief executive officer. At the risk of sounding clichéd, he adds that this client focus does make a real difference. "I think it's singular in...

The first group responds by telling me about how often they do fulls and incrementals, how long they keep the tapes and how often they send them off site. The second group is only a little more sophisticated: They have one answer for databases and another for files.
Only the third group is sophisticated enough to ask me what I mean: Am I referring to backup or archive? Which service level am I referring to? And so on.
The first two groups are guilty of focusing on the mechanics of their backup environment--dealing primarily with operational concerns, such as tape management. They share two common attributes:
- All data is essentially treated the same. There's little consideration given to the value of data to the organization or to customer requirements for service levels.
- Only the minimal number of policy attributes has been taken into account. Other backup policy dimensions have largely been ignored.

Re: Israeli tax amnesty – time is running out
By LEON HARRIS
05/31/2012 22:38
Your Taxes: If anyone has undeclared income from overseas accounts which they want to use or pass onto the next generation, they should consider the present Amnesty before it's too late.
Isreli currency.
Photo: Reuters
The Israeli Tax Authority (ITA) launched a temporary voluntary disclosure procedure ("VDP" or "Amnesty") in a circular dated November 15, 2011.
Time is now running out.
Israeli residents have until June 30, 2012 to report previously undisclosed overseas income and gains from non-Israeli assets.
This action may confer immunity from criminal proceedings, fines and interest and some relief regarding indexation for inflation.
This represents a big improvement over the regular Israeli VDP of April 10, 2005 which will apply again after June 30.
The following is a recap of the above Circular of the ITA.
:The ITA has stepped up its efforts to uncover unreported property and cash held in Switzerland and elsewhere abroad by Israelis and more is promised in the near future.
Criteria for the temporary procedure:
According to the ITA, the following is a non-exhaustive list of examples of cases where the temporary VDP may apply: • Unreported income from foreign assets received by way of inheritance or gift from a foreign resident.
• Unreported income from foreign assets acquired with money derived from income generated in Israel or abroad on which tax was paid, or no tax was due in Israel.
• Unreported income from foreign assets on which the liability to tax arose since the 2003 tax year, following the Israeli tax reform of 2003 (which made Israeli residents taxable on worldwide income instead of Israeli source income).
When does the temporary procedure not apply
: The temporary procedure does not apply to assets and income derived from: • A "crime" under the Penal Law (defined in Section 24 as an offense carrying a punishment of more than three years).
• Applications made following or in parallel to an investigation or examination by a State authority.
How does the temporary Amnesty procedure work?
Applications to apply the temporary Amnesty are reviewed by an ITA panel led by the ITA legal adviser, together with the ITA deputy director for investigations and intelligence, the deputy director for professional matters, and the deputy general for audit.
Applications should include the relevant facts and be filed at the office of the Director of the Tax Authority under the heading "Application for Relief According to the Temporary Voluntary Disclosure Procedure."
Applications will undergo a preliminary review to see if they meet the above criteria – in particular that the applicant is not already under investigation.
Process after acceptance:
Applications meeting the above criteria will be confirmed by the panel and the applicant will thereby be given immunity from criminal sanction under the tax laws within the authority of the Tax Authority, subject to the conditions of the fixed voluntary disclosure procedure.
In our experience to date, the panel will want to know upfront the potential tax at stake, presumably for their statistics. After that they refer applicants to a local tax office which will review and negotiate the tax liability.
The panel typically stipulates a timetable for finishing the process and paying the tax.
Amnesty Outcome:
The deal on offer under the temporary Amnesty is basically: Pay the tax; no interest or penalties on the overdue tax (which can otherwise be substantial); no criminal procedures; indexation for inflation may be party or wholly abated; applicants must identify themselves but their names should not be published.
What if you get turned down:
Applications not meeting the above criteria will not be dealt with by the panel. Nevertheless, according to the ITA circular, "no use will be made in the criminal and civil arena with the information included in the application."
Statute of Limitations?
No criminal proceedings may be initiated 10 years after the tax year in which a tax offense was committed, according to Section 225 of the Income Tax Ordinance.
But the Amnesty is a civil – not criminal – procedure, so the ITA might try to clean up all years concerned. On the other hand, Israeli residents were usually exempt from Israeli tax on most (not all) types of foreign source income before 2003. But pre- 2003 capital gains of such persons were always taxable in Israel and remain exposed.
Will the Israeli Tax Authority turn nasty?
This question is frequently asked. It seems that once the panel accepts an Amnesty applicant, the panel undertakes not to embark on criminal proceedings provided the timetable for finishing the assessment process and paying the tax is met.
Is there enough paperwork?
In practice, the ITA tend to apply a pragmatic approach regarding documentary evidence from abroad – but don't take liberties.
Some financial institutions release statements only if specifically requested ("hold mail").
Some financial institutions claim to have difficulty providing annual summaries of investment transactions – but may be prepared to do so for a fee. Others keep poor records of the cost of investments later sold. Instead they may send a mass of investment purchase and sale notes to piece together like a jigsaw.
It may be advisable to resolve all these issues and prepare the relevant Israeli tax calculations before applying for the Amnesty.
But as mentioned, the present amnesty must be requested by June 30, 2012, so time is of the essence now.
Are Olim Off the Hook?
Some Olim may have nothing to worry about. They are exempt from reporting, and tax in Israel on non-Israeli source income and gains for 10 years if they first became residents in Israel on or after January 1, 2007. This also applies to people who returned to live in Israel after living abroad 10 years if they returned on or after January 1, 2010. Different, more limited tax exemption rules apply to people arriving in Israel before the above dates.
To sum up:
If anyone has undeclared income from overseas accounts which they want to use or pass onto the next generation, they should consider the present Amnesty before it's too late.
The elimination of interest and penalties can be a major advantage where income has not been reported and taxed for many years. The criteria are "non-exhaustive" meaning the panel apparently has discretion about accepting cases. The criteria appear to be aimed at excluding untaxed Israeli source income which has been shipped abroad.
If tax was paid abroad on the foreign income concerned, this can, in principle, be credited against the Israeli tax due. This means lack of past disclosure may sometimes be remedied under the temporary Amnesty with little tax damage.
Specialist advice should be obtained regarding all aspects of the Amnesty voluntary disclosure procedure. And allow time, as preparing and negotiating are time consuming processes.
As always, consult experienced tax advisors in each country at an early stage in specific cases.

The Cubs are a wasteland of news at the moment. Let's look at how Project .500 is doing...
Starting 8 (total guesses right now):
vs. righties: DeWitt, Castro, Pena, Ramirez, Colvin, Soriano, Byrd, Soto
Bench: Fukudome, Baker, Hill, Barney, Guyer or other outfielder
vs. lefties: Baker, Castro, Ramirez, Pena, Byrd, Soriano, Soto, Fukudome
Bench: Colvin, DeWitt, Hill, Barney, Guyer or other outfielder
Starting 5: Zambrano, Dempster, Wells, Gorzelanny, Cashner or Silva
Bullpen: Marmol, Wood, Marshall, Grabow, Cashner or Silva, Samardzija, 1 of Russell, Caridad, Berg, Maine, Rice, Diamond, Coleman or Chad Fox.
The hints from Levine are that Colvin will get the bulk of playing time over Fukudome who would sort of super-sub throughout the week. Personally Fukudome is about the only leadoff option the team has right now against righties, so we'll see if that changes over spring training. My guess at a lineup versus righties is just that, a guess. Managers tend to like alternating lefties and righties so I could see that as an option.
The better bet and what I'd try with the current personal is Fukudome, Castro, Pena, Ramirez, Soto, Soriano, Byrd, DeWitt and I think spots 3-7 could all be shifted depending on the hot hand. You could also try Fukudome, Castro, Ramirez, Soto, Pena, Soriano, Byrd, DeWitt to break up the righties in the middle of the order(and have Pena and Soriano leave a shit load of runners on base) and it does depend if Aramis rebounds this season (let's hope for a rebound contract year).
The bullpen actually looks pretty good at the moment, but those have a way of being unpredictable. The rotation, well guess it depends on which Z we get and if Wells bounces back a little. It's solld, but definitely behind the Cards, Brewers and most likely Reds at this point.
Peace, everybody.
The Cubs have named their minor league & player development staff for 2011:
Dave Kaplan, fresh off his own new contract, is reporting that the Cubs and Kerry Wood are close to finalizing a deal.
That's my reaction to the news.
We've done this joke before (well Real Neal did), but Bruce Miles has written the 2010 sequel.
--As we wrote last week, the only prospects the Cubs won't move are Brett Jackson and Chris Archer. All the others would be on the table in trade talks. That includes Josh Vitters and Jay Jackson.
Is being deemed untouchable by the Cubs brass pretty much the kiss of death for your baseball career? I wouldn't take any fishing trips out on the lake if I were them.
The Cubs lost two minor league pitchers in the AAA Phase of today's Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in Florida.
22-year old RHP Ronny Morla was selected by the Mets in the 1st Round, and 24-year old LHP Casey Lambert was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2nd Round.
The MLB Rule 5 Draft is the last order of business at the MLB WINTER MEETINGS, and it is a mechanism that allows MLB clubs to select (draft) players off minor league Reserve Lists. There is a "Major League Phase" where MLB clubs can draft players off AAA Reserve Lists for $50,000, a "AAA Phase" where AAA Affiliates can draft players off AA rosters for $12,000, and finally a "AA Phase" where AA clubs can draft players off the reserve lists of Class "A" clubs for $4,000.
10:30 PM CST (Rob G.): A previous Levine post said Cubs are interested in acquiring Jason Frasor after missing out on him last season. Medical reports on Brandon Webb are in the Cubs doctors hands and Chris Davis for Robinson Chirinos is still on the table, but the Cubs want Darren O'Day included in a deal.
10:17 PM CST (Rob G.): Levine says the Rays and Cubs met for a second time since the meetings began, presumably to discuss Garza and that the Cubs "package" was the most attractive. (7th grade chuckle). Brewers and Rangers are also in the mix.
5:18 PM CST (Rob G.): Joel Sherman says the Rays are thus far unsinspired by offers for Garza and will likely wait until July to see if value goes up.
1:56 PM CST (Rob G.): Well at least the Cubs called to ask about Zack Greinke.
1:44 PM CST (Rob G.): There were some multi-year offers out there for Pena with Nats, Orioles, Mariners, Blue Jays and Braves showing interest. (O's seem to be at least one team that made a multi-year offer and the biggest competition according to Pena).
12:46 PM CST (Rob G.): There it is, $5M to Pena is deferred until January 2012.
12:26 PM CST (Rob G.): Pena press conference updates culled from Twitter.
- Grew up watching the Cubs, cites watching George Bell (~shrug~).
- "To play for the Cubs was my preference...I love the city, my family loves the city, and we have a good chance at winning."
- Boras cited Rudy as one of the reasons they liked the Cubs and confidence that he can help him improve on last season.
- Here's a pic
- Rumor that Yankees could be going after Mark Prior along with rumors that they'll try and bring back Kerry Wood once the Cliff Lee sweepstakes are over. Yes, Rothschild, Prior and Wood back together again is a looming possibility.
- Trib story says Cubs targets were Pena and Berkman and talk about LaRoche and Loney were overstated. Nats, Blue Jays, Mariners and Orioles made offers or were at least interested. No mention of deferred money from them, although Levine has already put it out there. Also says they're working on trades and still talking to Brandon Webb.
12:20 PM CST (Rob G.): Bruce Levine chat excerpts:
- Says Cubs like Garza and have young talent Rays are seeking, although Archer and B. Jackson seem safe from being moved.
- Chris Davis is still in the mix even with the Pena signing.
- Mentions deferred money in Pena deal again, but no specifics.
- Cubs still high on Vitters (as they should be).
To the rumor cave...
- With Pena about to be signed, look for the Cubs to intensify trying to move Fukudome and giving Colvin the everyday job.
- Speaking of Pena, radio report that there is deferred money in the deal as I suspected last night. Also, he suffered through plantar fasciitis most of last year.
- Same report from Levine suggests the Cubs are making a push for Matt Garza. (Claps hands like a cymbal playing monkey). Here's a more proper link to the story.
Carrie Muskat and just about everyone on twitter is saying the deal is done for Carlos Pena for a grand sum of...

I'm sure we'll get more details on Wednesday, but looks like Cubs chose to pay a little more this year and a little less overall than the 2/$14M that Levine suggested earlier. If the numbers are true, it is $2M more than they offered Berkman and I'm wondering if Pena and Co. were willing to take deferred money that Berkman was not.
10:32 PM CST (Rob G.): Reader QuietMan does it again with this Bruce Levine radio report. Levine speculates that Pena is going to cost around 2/14 with either a 3rd year vesting option or a club option.
- He puts A. Galarragga for Gorzelanny out there.
- Says Chris Davis is a back-up plan if they don't get Pena..
- Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says the Cubs have interest in Chris Davis but aren't going to give up much.
7:32 PM CST (Rob G.): Bruce Miles pees all over the Davis/O'Day rumor.
6:05 PM CST (Rob G.): Joe Cowley tweeting some nonsense about Konerko to the Cubs.
6:00 PM CST (Rob G.): Ed Price tweets that a deal is in the works involving Chris Davis and Darren O'Day coming to the Cubs.
And fwiw, I don't believe getting Chris Davis would prevent the Cubs from going after Pena, LaRoche and the like. No way the Cubs are handing him Davis the 1b job. My guess is he's a utility option (as he can play 3b as well) and Rudy Jamarillo project for the future.
4:23 PM CST (Rob G.): Bruce Levine radio report thanks to one of our awesome readers.
- Detroit with interest in Gorzelanny (Link from Detroit papers here).
- Ignore the LaRoche talk, Cubs making push for Pena on a 2-year deal with a possible 3rd year option.
Link to ESPN Chicago saying Cubs will meet with Pena's agent again later today.
4:16 PM CST (Rob G.): It seems everyone expects Konerko to sign with the White Sox. Orioles will be "in on" Derrek Lee if the medicals check out.
- Kevin Gregg has more than one offer, possibly of the multi-year variety.
- Teams are showing interest in Rich Harden, possibly as a reliever.
- Matt Garza is another top starting pitcher that could be moved with the Brewers and Rangers mentioned at the moment.
4:14 PM CST(Rob G.): How I love Wrongway! His last tweet.
Look out for the #Brewers. They're rekindling Matt Garza talks with Rays. Possible deal could include supposedly "untouchable'' Matt Cain.
3:55 PM CST (Rob G.): Bruce Miles though doubts the Cubs interest in LaRoche.
3:46 PM CST (Rob G.): Scott Miller takes it a step further and says the Cubs would like to close a deal soon with LaRoche.
2:48 PM CST (Rob G.): I guess Carlos Pena is going to be too expensive. Morosi says Cubs are going after Adam LaRoche.
12:31 PM CST (Rob G.): The Cubs and Webb's representatives have a meeting scheduled this afternoon according to Jerry Crasnick.
12:21 PM CST (Rob G.): Some nuggets from Bruce Levine's chat.
- Colvin is Plan B if the Cubs don't find a first basemen they like. Even if they do, Colvin will work on the position to give Quade some flexibility during the season.
- Fukudome is on the block, but only if Hendry knows he's getting another left-handed bat, either in the trade or ready to sign.
- The Cubs have talked relievers with Toronto and Texas with Jason Frasor's name coming up. There seems to be a Chris Davis for Robinson Chirinos deal that would work for both teams but the Cubs want to expand it and get a major league reliever in exchange for adding a starting pitcher to the deal.
- Gorzelanny can be had, but only if the Cubs have a deal in place for another starting pitcher.
11:30AM CT (Cubnut): Rosenthal mentions "Kerry Wood" and "White Sox" together. Yeechhh! KR says Yankees also still interested in Kid K but won't deal with it until after Cliff Lee lands.
6:17 PM CST (Rob G.): Count on Sean Marshall as Marmol's set-up man next year as well as an echo that Cashner could be moved to the rotation.
4:13 PM CST (Rob G.): Damn. Loney and Broxton for Prince Fielder? Apparently they're talking.
Or Not.
2:15 PM CST (Rob G.): Rosenthal also says that Loney is very unlikely to be moved.
YESTERDAY (Rob G.): Some important stuff (as important as baseball rumors can be) from Levine yesterday that I haven't seen mentioned.
- Cubs offered Berkman the same $8M as the Cardinals but with deferred payments.
- Lyle Overbay is also on the Cubs 1b radar.
- If the Cubs can't sign a starting pitcher, expect Andrew Cashner to move to the rotation.
- Kerry Wood is a possibility if he's willing to accept the dollars($5M or less) and set-up role.
- Fukudome will be shopped.
2:15 PM CST (Rob G.): Gorden Edes says the Blue Jays are making a push for Carlos Pena.
2:10 PM CT (Cubnut): Steve Henson of Yahoo Sports (@stevehenson333) says a Dodgers source told him Loney will not be traded "because he'd be too expensive to replace on free agent market."
1:05 PM CST (Rob G.): As Arizona Phil predicted, Mark Riggins will be named the new Cubs pitching coach. Expect an official announcement tonight.
12:20 PM CST (Rob G.): Steve Philips (stop laughing), says Cubs are one of four teams interested in Dan Wheeler.
- The asking price for Loney? Nats say Colletti wanted SS Ian Desmond and RHP Jordan Zimmerman. Apparently the moon isn't available in trades this year.
Since I know you beasts are dying to gossip...
- ESPN Boston reported that the Red Sox made some progress in acquiring Adrian Gonzalez. Ken Rosenthal countered that the Cubs are very much in the mix (tease). Buster Olney one upped them both this morning and is reporting a deal is in place for Gonzalez to go to the Red Sox pending a physical and the team has been granted a window to try and negotiate an extension.
- Zack Greinke is another big name the Cubs should be in on, but will fall short landing. The latest rumor there is the Rangers are trying to get him and Cliff Lee this offseason. The Cubs instead are focused on...
- Jerry Crasnick tweeted yesterday that the Nats & Cubs are gonna duke it out for Brandon Webb. The Cubs lost the first round battle against the Nats last year over Matt Capps. And in case you forgot, the last time Webb pitched for anyone to watch he was hitting 84 mph on the gun. Now Fangraphs says his average was 88mph back in the heyday, so I guess he can find 4 mph as he progresses, but that's what most of us guessed about Mark Prior all those years too.
- Aaron Harang is going to try and resurrect his career at pitcher-friendly Petco Park.
- Bleacher Nation has its own source saying the Cubs could be landing Chris Davis soon. Ace over there is on the up and up, so I'm sure he indeed was told that, but like so many rumors, that doesn't mean it will end up happening.
Rumors will be flying with Winter Meetings ready to start, so stay tuned to this bat channel.
Thoughts and tears.
#10. Third Base-MAN. Love of Wrigley Field. Putting his favorite charity, JDRF and Juvenile Diabetes on the map to show that athletes can deal with the disease. Ron's partner, Pat Hughes (Ron's been in the booth since 1990). Brant Brown, that gut wrenching, "oh-no" overlapping Pat's "he dropped the ball". Aw, Jeez. Entrepreneur and Restauranteur. Ron Santo Pizza. Acapulco Taco Pie. Williams-Santo-Banks. Rebel pal Randy and the real highlight of fantasy camps. Roomie Glen Beckert. Flaming Gamer, Pat: "there's smoke billowing out of the top of his head" (audio link). The classic Jack Brickhouse call was music to my ears: "back, back, back, Hey-Hey, a homer by Santo." Harry Caray asking Ron, "when you go to bed at night with your lovely wife do you wear your toupee?" Cub captain. Leo Durocher. Don Young. Belly flop slides into second base. Clicking Heels. Pat Hughes broadcast introduction: "Along with nine time All-Star, five time Gold Glove winner and Cub Legend..."
Ronnie's gone. He slipped into a coma Wednesday and passed away in the early hours of the morning on Friday reportedly due to complications of bladder cancer.
Paul Sullivan has one of the earlier confirmations online but I've listened to WGN radio interviews with David Kaplan and Spike O'Dell reminiscing. Overnight host on WSCR, Les Grobstein clearly struggled with his sadness when he heard the news.
In one of the greatest tributes a son can give his dad, Jeff Santo's movie "This Old Cub" gave us the insight as to just what made Ron tick. Ron Santo was what loving the Cubs is all about.
Thank you to Ron. We are honored that you shared so much of yourself with us.
UPDATE: Rob's thoughts after the jump, just trying to keep all this in one place.
Chicago Cubs great Ron Santo died last night here in Arizona.
A native of Washington, Santo signed with the Cubs prior to the 1959 season, was brought up to the big leagues as a 20-year old in mid-season 1960 after only one full season in the minor leagues, was immediately installed at the hot corner (replacing Don Zimmer), and never looked back. He hit 277/362/464 with 342 HR over a 15 year career spanning 2243 games. He won five Gold Gloves at 3B (1964-68), and was a nine-time All-Star. He did all this while battling diabetes. He was traded to the White Sox (for Steve Stone and three others) after the 1974 season when the "Durocher Cubs" were dismantled, and spent his final MLB season on the South Side. But his heart always belonged to the Cubs.
Santo joined WGN Radio as a Cubs broadcaster in 1990, and just recently completed his 21st year behind the mike. While his emotional style of broadcasting irritated some Cubs fans, there is no denying his sincerity. He lived and died with each Cub win and loss.
Santo had battled numerous physical prioblems over the past few years, including cardiac by-pass surgery, bladder cancer, and complications from his diabetes that resulted in amputation of both legs. He also had to deal with the continual disappointment of not getting elected to the Hall of Fame.
Despite the medical problems and other disappointments in his life (not the least of which was the Cubs failing to get to the World Series), Ronnie always was upbeat and as physically active as he could be under the circumstances.
I became a Cub fan in 1960 when I was six years old. So Ron Santo and I go back a long way.
Bruce Miles writes that the Cubs are planning to offer arbitration to all six of their arbitration eligible players, Geovany Soto, Carlos Marmol, Sean Marshall, Tom Gorzelanny, Jeff Baker and Koyie Hill. As Miles notes, Hendry must be confident that Baker and Hill will accept whatever the Cubs are proposing.

No kidding. The Cubs need every one of their pitching prospects healthy. Any time there is an injury I'm holding my breath it's not an arm issue.
Thanks! and, phew!
Right-hander Pierce Johnson, the Cubs' second-ranked pitching prospect, has been sidelined from workouts for much of the past week because of hamstring "tightness," but the Cubs don't consider it serious enough to have a lingering effect into the season.
Jason McLeod, the Cubs' senior vice president for scouting and player development, said it could push Johnson's season debut at Class AA Tennessee back by maybe a week.
"It might be one skipped start," he said, "but it shouldn't be a situation where he's left back here in Arizona."
zach petrick making his second spring training appearance with the cards...he's already trumped his brother's career everywhere but the wallet =p ...throws an inning of no hit, no walk, 2K ball...
billy...drafted in 2002...not even 30 years old yet. sigh. he was pretty good when his arm wasn't falling off. he kept the ball in the park, didn't walk many, got Ks... he couldn't stay healthy as a starter or reliever, though.
When I mention Eloy Jimenez to my son, he says, "Oh, the guy who looks like B.J. Upton."
The Cubs have some pretty good scouts these days.
I was going to ask the same thing
Sorry to be very late to the party, but what's up with Pierce Johnson being shut down?
The Rizzo triple should have been scored a double and an E-8 (the CF executed a kick-save while sliding to stop it). Also Kris Bryant looked bad at 3B again, not being able to reach down and field a routine grounder that was scored an E-5 (maybe he is just too tall & stiff?), and then not being able to come in and field a swinging-bunt-bouncer and make a throw (a play most third-basemen make).
Mad Max lookalike contest winner?
I'm sure glad that Brian Roberts trade finally happened so we could all get a good look at those tats.
Oh, wait. That's Ryan Roberts. Damn you, Theo!!
cain pitches 5 perfect vs cubs...cubs still win
all the offense was singles and walks...no one got multiple hits, no one got a hit and a walk.

TEX and BOS bringing up the rear for the AL.
Today is the first day that Draft-Excluded players can be sent to the minors (by outright or optional assignment), and it's also the first day that players selected in the Major League Phase of the December 2013 Rule 5 Draft can be returned to the minor league club from which the player was drafted (presuming Outright Assignment Waivers have been secured) or sent to the minors or released by the drafting club (if Outright Assignment Waivers have been secured and the club from which the player was drafted declines to re-claim the player).
INF Tim Saunders is also wearing a wrap & pressure sleeve on his right elbow (same as Bruno), and he isn't throwing overhand, either. I don't know what his injury was last season that landed him on the Daytona 60-day DL, but it's pretty obvious that he is rehabbing some kind of significant elbow or triceps injury.
BTW, both Bruno and Saunders can hit just fine. They just can't throw. So I would expect both of them to start the 2014 season at Extended Spring Training.

Re-Release Call of Duty 4, World at War, and Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer
The purpose of the petition is to show Activision, Inc. the support to have the multiplayer aspects for Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty World at War, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 released again with security measures to prevent hacking and modding. Many gamers enjoy returning to the older games to experience those thrills another time. However, due to lacking security measures and monitoring, these older games have been made unplayable by players who use unfair advantages. What we request is for Activision, Inc. to begin a project to create versions of COD4, World at War, and MW2 for either a digital release or multi-game "anniversary" disc set with updated graphics, the newest anti-modding security features, active monitoring, and active community support while keeping all other gameplay aspects the same. This petition will be sent to Activision as soon as enough signatures are made to truly show the support. By doing this, we as gamers will be happy, and Activision will be able to make more money. Win-Win situation here.
Rob Allen
world at war, the best damn COD game ever, never bettered since release. come on Activision!!
full modern warfare rerelease! same maps, weapon classes; everything! best FPS that has ever been released. every COD since has LOWERED not RAISED the bar. Ghosts is a total let down, unless you want to sit in corners and wait for people to run by you
I feel that COD4 is the best and i do still play sometimes but it is mostly hacked, i would love to have a dlc for the cod which has those maps and the whole atmosphere. I feel that was the key to its success. the Maps and the background music was amazing like the map bloc. Although i dont like sniping i still snipe in that map it really does make have a good feel to it and builds the right atmospher i suppose which all of the new COD's have lost

Efficiency was the key principle when designing the XTR M980 10-speed rear derailleur. The derailleur was designed with Shimano's Shadow technology, using a longer swing arm and a tighter spring for crisper shifting when you want it, and less 'ghost shifting' when you don't.

Published : 21 February 2013, 11:16 CET
Contact : Roar Rude Trangbæk
In 2013 the LEGO Group will introduce a new series of environmentally friendly, smaller LEGO boxes containing the same number of LEGO bricks. The change will reduce the LEGO Group's annual consumption of cardboard for boxes by about 4,000 tons depending on the number of sets sold. At the same time the cardboard used in the new boxes will carry FSC certification. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international certificate guaranteeing that paper, cardboard, etc., comes from sustainable forests. "We are introducing the new boxes as an environmental measure, and hope at the same time that consumers will welcome the visible change. We're reducing the size of our boxes because we think it makes sense for shoppers, customers and for our business – and because we harbour an ambition to exert a positive effect on our surroundings. We believe we share responsibility for our planet, the wider community, and the generations who will follow us," says Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO of the LEGO Group. In 2013 all new products launched will be packed in smaller boxes, and by 2015 all LEGO products on the market will be packed in the smaller boxes. The change will reduce the CO2 impact from packaging by about 10%, and the smaller boxes will make it possible to save approx. 18% of the cardboard used for LEGO boxes. New boxes a benefit everyone The reason for the LEGO Group's focus on reducing packaging is that approx. 15% of the Group's total CO2 impact is associated with its packaging. But the new boxes are good news not only for the environment. "Consumers will find it easier to handle the packaging, retailers will have space for more boxes on their shelves, and we'll use less energy in transporting the goods to the shops. So it's a win‑win situation for everybody," says John Goodwin, CFO of the LEGO Group. Benefits from invisible improvements The LEGO Group is currently engaged in a number of other initiatives which may not be as visible to the consumer but nevertheless have a major effect on the environmental impact. Roughly a quarter of the LEGO Group's total carbon emissions stem from the manufacturing of LEGO bricks. Efforts are therefore being made to mould LEGO elements more efficiently. John Goodwin: "In 2012 we improved the energy efficiency of our production by 4.1%. Reducing energy consumption by that much really does make a difference to the environment – even though it may not be visible to shoppers." Investment in wind energy Over the past five years the LEGO Group has increased its sales by more than 15% a year – and this rate of growth has brought the Group's environmental impact into stronger focus. In 2012 the LEGO Group – via its parent company – invested in an offshore wind park off northern Germany. "It's an investment I'm proud of because it means that by 2015 we will be generating renewable energy corresponding to our own energy consumption for many years ahead," says Jørgen Vig Knudstorp. The amount of sustainable energy from the off-shore wind farm will correspond to the annual power consumption of about 100,000 households. You can read more about LEGO Group activities and results in sustainability and other fields in the company's Progress Report.
Facts: References in the text to "the LEGO Group's total CO2 impact" relate to carbon emissions from areas such as: · Transport · Production · Packaging · Sales · Recycling
The LEGO Group's Progress report 2012
The LEGO Group's Annual Report for 2012
In line with its ambition to reduce its carbon footprint, the LEGO Group in 2013 introduced smaller boxes, which lower the CO2 impact of its packaging by about 10%.

Speaking in public is a great way to raise awareness about veganism, to explain it, put forward justifications for it, and to present yourself as a shining example of a vegan. Showing people that being vegan is easy and something they could do themselves makes it more accessible and likely to be considered.
Prepare in advance, sort out what you want to say and do and practise it until you need minimal or no notes. You might find it helpful to write out exactly what you intend to say and then work it down in to briefer and briefer notes. Don't worry if you feel you need to use written cues while giving a talk, but doing without them will allow you to connect with the audience better. Another idea is to have one sheet with all pertinent facts and figures available at an easy glance. Good preparation is the key to good presentation, and talks can usually be recycled.
Give your talk to friends, family, any young people you know, or try recording it and playing it back to yourself. Aim to educate and inform, not convert. We are giving people the information to make a choice – but that choice is theirs to make. Be non-confrontational and try to provide a moderate viewpoint. Prepare to be flexible: equipment may break and rooms could change, so have a back-up plan handy. Liaise with those that invite you about what they expect. Let them know what you have planned and make sure they're agreeable.
Arrive in plenty of time for your talk: remember you will probably have to sign in, find the person who has invited you, set up for the talk and go to the toilet. Thank the audience for giving you the chance to talk about something very important to you.
Create a definite structure to the talk, brief the audience before you start and stick to it. Begin by telling them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then end by telling them what you have told them. Stick to some key ideas and reiterate them using examples and evidence. Restate your key ideas often. Begin by explaining what vegan means, the number of vegans in the country, who you are and what The Vegan Society does. Part of this could be done by using an activity or starting a discussion with a group. Don't go over time. It's better to plan short and leave time for questions.
Be honest, but tactful. Keep it very simple, but don't talk down to the audience. Don't go into too much detail or state too many statistics or bare facts (unless that is what the audience is expecting). Be aware that your audience may know little of things you might take for granted.
Try to personalise (i.e. I) and/or individualise (i.e. a cow, not cows) your descriptions. Make the subject you talk about relate to the audience. Tell them what they will get and how they will benefit.
Speak slowly, loudly and clearly towards the back of the room, make eye contact with plenty of different people and don't hide behind anything. You could ask the people at the back if they can hear you clearly. Pitch your speech at the right level, taking age and ability into account. Be animated and enthusiastic, use gestures and facial expressions. Use props for interest and lasting impact. Encourage interactivity and participation – and don't rely on the same people for answers or suggestions.
Vary your voice (pace, tone, volume, direction), media (story, example, picture, video, demonstration, statistics, analogy) and activities (games, role-play, debate, cookery). Don't do any one thing for longer than about 10 minutes or you will lose the group's attention.
Don't say anything slanderous or that can't be backed up with a reference and don't make any personal attacks or criticisms. If you're ever not sure about the answer to a question or some details facts and figures, don't be afraid to say you don't know, but you will try to find out, and take contact details of questioner.
Once you find a format that works for you – stick to it! Don't try to design a whole new set every time you give a talk, you will be able to reuse a lot of things you have prepared before.
Relax, have a positive attitude and don't forget to smile!
