Andrew Miller Rumors
NL West Links: Miller, Sabean, Rockies
Here's the latest from around the NL West…
- The Dodgers were the runner-up for Andrew Miller, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe tweets. This seems to run counter to an item from earlier today when Ken Rosenthal reported that it was the Brewers and Tigers who were the other finalists to obtain Miller from the Red Sox. The Orioles, of course, were the ones who actually landed the left-hander.
- Giants GM Brian Sabean didn't make any last moves before the deadline and felt good about keeping his team's prospects, Sabean told reporters (including Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle). The Giants felt it didn't make sense to meet the high asking prices of some teams, though Sabean said he was pleased that a number of clubs were interested in his pitching prospects.
- Sabean said he was "homing in on two" second basemen in possible deals, though a source says that these weren't necessarily Asdrubal Cabrera or Emilio Bonifacio, two middle infielders who changed teams yesterday.
- The Rockies also had a quiet deadline day, which assistant GM Bill Geivett told reporters (including Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post) was due to a lack of offers that would've helped Colorado reload for next year. "I think the big thing was — our posture — is probably one that we would entertain a deal as far as making us better in 2015. Although we were active and had some talks, we really weren't moved to the point where we had anything that would significantly affect us next season," Geivett said.
- Jorge De La Rosa and Brett Anderson drew some trade interest, and though De La Rosa is a free agent and Anderson has a $12MM club option to be exercised, it seems as if the Rockies have an interest in retaining both. "If we didn't feel like they would potentially be part of our future, we would have traded them," Geivett said.
- In other NL West news from earlier today, Matt Cain seems likely to undergo elbow surgery and the Giants designated Dan Uggla and Tyler Colvin for assignment.

Rosenthal On Cardinals, Miller, Price, Beane
Here are some notes from FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal as he looks back on an incredibly busy Deadline Day…
- Several Cardinals players were unhappy that Allen Craig and Joe Kelly were traded away, which didn't necessarily surprise St. Louis GM John Mozeliak. "We've had a tight clubhouse for many years, a lot of homegrown players who have been together a long time….When you have a young team, sometimes you don't see these types of trades happening while you're competing," Mozeliak told Rosenthal. "It caught some people off-guard. But time will heal all wounds." Rosenthal wonders if this trade and the recent signing of "notorious irritant" A.J. Pierzynski could've been made in order to shake up a clubhouse that had "perhaps grown too comfortable."
- The Brewers and Tigers were the other finalists for Andrew Miller's services before the Red Sox decided to trade the southpaw to the Orioles. Boston received inquiries from between 10-12 teams about Miller's services. Jon Morosi, Rosenthal's FOX Sports colleague, reported yesterday that Detroit was close to a deal for Miller about 2.5 hours before the trade with Baltimore was finalized.
- Some pundits have argued that the Rays should've gotten more from the Tigers and Mariners in the David Price trade, but Rosenthal is withholding judgement given how difficult the circumstances were for Rays executive VP Andrew Friedman. The return could've been even less had Friedman waited until the offseason to move his ace.
- In a tweet, Rosenthal notes that the Athletics decided against pursuing a Price trade in part because GM Billy Beane was worried that it would be tough to deal the southpaw this winter. Price could earn up to $20MM on his 2015 contract in his last year of arbitration eligibility, so as good as the left-hander is, the salary and only the one year of control would limit Price's trade value.

Orioles Acquire Andrew Miller
The Orioles have issued an announcement of the 1-for-1 swap of lefties. Baltimore will acquire Red Sox reliever Andrew Miller, as Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com first reported (via Twitter).
In return, Boston has picked up left-handed pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez, per a tweet from Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com (via Twitter) first reported that a young arm was included in the deal.
Rodriguez represents a significant return for Boston on Miller, who emerged as the most sought-after left-handed reliever but is set to reach free agency at year's end. He had been nothing short of dominant this year, posting 14.7 K/9 against 2.8 BB/9 and generating a 52.5% groundball rate.
Miller's excellent 2.34 ERA is actually higher than advanced metrics would suggest, as Miller owns lower marks per ERA estimators such as FIP (1.69), xFIP (1.76) and SIERA (1.42). Miller has held down both lefties (.420 OPS) and righties (.537 OPS) on the year.
Rodriguez came into the year as Baltimore's 3rd-best overall prospect, per Baseball America. The 21-year-old has not taken a step forward at Double-A, however, as he owns a 4.79 ERA with 7.5 K/9 against 3.2 BB/9 through 82 2/3 innings on the year. Though he profiles more as a middle-of-the-rotation arm, Rodriguez had been on a fast track to the big leagues and still has plenty of value.

Latest On Andrew Miller: Tigers, Braves Out Of Pursuit
1:57pm: The Braves are also out on Miller, per Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter).
1:23pm: The Tigers are not going to land Miller, tweets ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes.
12:18pm: The Tigers are getting close on a deal to acquire Red Sox lefty Andrew Miller, reports Jon Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Originally drafted by Detroit, Miller was part of the trade that brought Miguel Cabrera to the Tigers.
Miller has made fairly significant leaps in performance over each of the past two years, settling into a pen role. In 2014, he has been among the most dominant relievers in baseball, striking out 14.7 batters per nine while walking just 2.8.
Detroit, of course, has already made quite a significant bullpen addition by adding Joakim Soria. But the club has also received suboptimal production from its southpaw pieces (Ian Krol and Phil Coke, primarily), seemingly leading to the interest in Miller. Of course, the club had an excellent left-hander in the pen in Drew Smyly, but moved him to the rotation as part of the team's offseason reshuffling (which, of course, included dealing away Doug Fister for a return that included Krol and signing closer Joe Nathan).
Though it would be foolhardy to predict a hypothetical return, Miller is expected to draw fairly significant value given his dominance, though he is a free agent at the end of the year. The sides have previously discussed righty Austin Kubitza in a Miller deal, Morosi tweets, though it is not known if he is still part of the conversation. Kubitza is rated as Detroit's 7th-overall prospect by MLB.com.

Andrew Miller Draws Big Interest; Tigers Making Push
Boston's Andrew Miller has been the most talked-about left-handed relief option on the trade market, and with good reason. The impending free agent has pitched to a 2.34 ERA with dazzling secondary stats: 14.7 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 52.5 percent ground-ball rate. ERA estimators such as FIP (1.69), xFIP (1.76) and SIERA (1.42) feel that Miller has been even better than that 2.34 mark, and he's dominated both lefties (.420 OPS) and righties (.537 OPS) this season.
Here's the latest …
- The Tigers are "making a big push" on Miller, tweets ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.
- There is some internal resistance to moving Miller, tweets Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com. If that is the case, Edes wonders whether the club would instead consider dealing closer Koji Uehara.
- Another club that is a possible landing spot at this point is the Pirates, tweets McAdam.
- The Orioles are also in on Miller, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
- Boston expects to deal Miller by this afternoon, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com. Offers are rising with strong interest from many clubs, he adds.
- The Tigers have strong interest in acquiring Miller to bolster their bullpen for a potential postseason matchup with the A's or Angels, tweets Bruce Levine of WSCR-AM/670 The Score.
- The Red Sox are being "swarmed" with offers for Miller, tweets Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Needless to say, the club has kept its asking price high in light of the demand. A rival executive tells Nightengale that Miller is holding up the rest of the market.
Earlier Updates
- Jon Lester helped the Red Sox out last week by publicly stating that he'd be willing to re-sign with Boston if traded, and it appears that Boston thinks the same scenario could play out with lefty reliever Andrew Miller. Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald spoke to a source (Twitter link) who told him that the Sox "believe they have built up enough good will that [Miller would] consider coming back as free agent."
- Miller has drawn interest from the Braves, Royals, Dodgers and Pirates, but the asking price is said to be very high. The Sox are reportedly seeking a rival team's top prospect and a lesser prospect in order to move their dominant setup man. Earning just $1.9MM in 2014, Miller is owed only $633K through season's end.

Quick Hits: Blue Jays, Braves, Yankees, Byrd, Tigers, Padres
Here are the latest trade deadline news and rumors:
- The Blue Jays appear unlikely to add a significant starter or position player, especially a rental, writes Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, with the most likely acquisition being a relief pitcher that comes with some team control. It remains possible, says Davidi, that Toronto will make no further moves before tomorrow's deadline.
- Likewise, the Braves remain focused on left-handed relief, and Andrew Miller of the Red Sox in particular, reports MLB.com's Mark Bowman. But with other teams also interested, Boston's current asking price appears to be out of the Braves' comfort zone. With Atlanta unable to add any more salary, it may need to increase the prospect return to convince a trade partner to hold onto its monetary obligations. It is possible that the club will hold out until August to add a southpaw to the pen and/or a bench piece.
- The Yankees have discussed outfielder Marlon Byrd with the Phillies, but nothing is close, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. New York remains concerned with his $8MM salary next year, however, and appears to have some questions about how he would fit into the clubhouse.
- Despite adding Joakim Soria, the Tigers are still scouting possible reliever additions, tweets Scott Miller of Bleacher Report. Detroit has long been rumored to be looking at multiple arms for a pen that has not lived up to expectations.
- While the Padres seem more likely to deal reliever Joaquin Benoit than starter Ian Kennedy, it remains possible that neither will change hands, tweets Jayson Stark of ESPN.com.

AL Central Rumors: Miller, Gomes, Danks, Sox, Indians, Twins
The Royals are interested in Andrew Miller but aren't currently pursuing Jonny Gomes, Major League sources tell Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. Multiple reports have previously connected the Royals to Gomes, but it appears their interest has waned for the time being. Miller, of course, is being pursued by many teams due to his dominant numbers and relatively inexpensive salary. He'll be a free agent at season's end but could alter the composition of a bullpen and be a vital postseason piece. Miller tells Bradford that if he's traded, he'll harbor no hard feelings toward an organization with which he has "loved" his time. "I sincerely hope it doesn't come to an end in the next couple of days, but if it does it won't spoil it for me," said Miller. "If it does I'm certainly not going to burn a bridge on the way out of town." Earlier this morning, K.C. was also linked to John Lackey.
Here's more from the AL Central…
- Despite reported interest from the Yankees, the White Sox might have a difficult time moving John Danks, a source tells Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. "Anybody who throws 200 innings in the big leagues is worth his weight in gold," the source said. "But I don't think his weight is worth $30 million worth of gold." Van Schouwen's source feels that the Sox would let Danks go if he were to be claimed on waivers next month in order to free themselves of his remaining salary obligations.
- As for Chicago's other tradeable pieces, Van Schouwen notes that Adam Dunn, Gordon Beckham, Alejandro De Aza and Dayan Viciedo have limited markets due to contractual obligations (Dunn) or poor performance (the others). Alexei Ramirez would fetch a nice return, but the ChiSox don't have an in-house replacement for the 32-year-old.
- Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer looks at the Indians' current situation and feels that the team could sell some veterans without hurting their chances in the Wild Card hunt. Justin Masterson has underperformed, and Asdrubal Cabrera has been decent at best, but both have drawn trade interest, Hoynes reports. He suggests calling Oakland and San Francisco about Cabrera to peddle him as a second base option. Ultimately, the Indians could benefit from relying more on names like Jose Ramirez, Danny Salazar and Zach McAllister than their declining stars, Hoynes writes.
- Glen Perkins made no effort to hide his feelings on whether or not the Twins should extend Kurt Suzuki when asked by Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press over the weekend: "That would be the ideal. I think everyone else would agree. Not even just pitchers. He's fit in this clubhouse great, too, with everybody." GM Terry Ryan told Berardino that he's been happy with Suzuki's contributions, though he acknowledged that Suzuki rates poorly in terms of pitch-framing. Berardino noted that the Orioles, Blue Jays and Giants had scouts in attendance at Twins games over the weekend.
- In more Twins news, Ryan is sending assistant GM Rob Antony on the team's current road trip to Kansas City and Chicago while he settles in with VP of player personnel Mike Radcliff and special adviser Wayne Krivsky to work out deadline deals, writes La Valle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Ryan acknowledged the team's position as sellers, telling Neal: "As long as it stops in the near future, then it is worthwhile. … This isn't what anyone signed up to do. Nobody wants to watch a club get into late July and be in a position where you don't have a chance." Neal lists several Twins trade candidates, including Suzuki, Josh Willingham, Brian Duensing and Casey Fien.

Edes On Lester, Miller, Kemp, Lackey
The Red Sox are currently weighing offers on Jon Lester and Andrew Miller, a source tells Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com. However, as of late last night, there was a less than 50 percent chance that the Sox trade Lester, and the same holds true for Miller based on current talks. Edes' source did note that he anticipates offers for each lefty will improve as the deadline draws nearer.
Regarding the club's reported interest in Matt Kemp, Edes does hear that the Sox would consider Kemp, but a lot of money would need to be heading Boston's way. At this point, talks with the Dodgers haven't even gotten to the point where names have been swapped. (Weekend reports indicated that a Lester/Kemp framework would be possible if the Dodgers included other pieces.) The Dodgers have told some teams that they'd prefer to hang onto Kemp, but a source insisted to Edes that Kemp is still in play.
The Dodgers do like Miller as well, and reports last night indicated that they're in on John Lackey also. Those reports indicated that Boston is "getting hit hard" on both Lackey and Lester, and Edes has another team to add to the Lackey mix: the Royals. Kansas City makes plenty of sense for Lackey, given the fact that he has a club option at the league minimum next year (triggered by an injury clause in his contract). That has to hold great appeal for the Royals, who have noted payroll limitations. The remaining $5.25MM on his 2014 salary, however, could be problematic.

Stark's Latest: Lester, Miller, Byrd, Kemp, Danks, Rios
With roughly three days until the non-waiver trade deadline, here are some highlights from the latest Rumblings & Grumblings column by ESPN's Jayson Stark…
- The Red Sox have contacted every contending team in each league and told them that Jon Lester is available for a two- to three-prospect package fronted by at least one upper-echelon prospect. One executive, however, tells Stark that the Sox simply can't get as much as the Rays would get if they moved David Price, which isn't surprising, given Lester's impending free agency and the remaining year of control that Price has.
- Lester isn't the only player being shopped — Boston has firmly planted a "for sale" sign in the ground, and they're willing to move any impending free agents with the exception of Koji Uehara, whom they hope to re-sign. They're peddling Andrew Miller, Burke Badenhop, Stephen Drew, Jonny Gomes and Craig Breslow. The price for Miller is also exorbitant at this time, however, as officials from two interested clubs tell Stark that Boston has asked for one of the top prospects plus a lesser prospect.
- The Giants have asked the Phillies about Marlon Byrd, but their main priority is second base. The Reds are reassessing their stance after losing eight of nine games, and the Royals have backed off of Byrd. The Mariners appears to be the most logical option, but Byrd still wants his $8MM 2016 vesting option guaranteed to approve a trade there.
- Byrd tells Stark that he'd have to think long and hard if GM Ruben Amaro Jr. came to him and asked him to approve a trade to a team on his no-trade clause. While his hope was to retire a Phillie, he appreciates how aggressive Amaro was in signing him. "[Ruben] made it easy for me this offseason," he said. Still, given the odds that he'd want some form of perk to approve a trade, it's no longer certain that he gets dealt.
- While the Red Sox and Mariners have been connected to Matt Kemp, officials from other clubs tell Stark they feel an offseason trade is much more likely than an in-season deal.
- The White Sox have had scouts watching the Yankees' surplus of minor league catchers in recent weeks, fueling speculation that the Yanks would like to acquire John Danks.
- Some officials believe the Yankees would like to find a right-handed hitting platoon partner to pair with Ichiro in Suzuki in right field. New York wants an option that doesn't have commitments beyond 2014, making names like Justin Ruggiano of the Cubs and Chris Denorfia of the Padres as possible targets. Earlier today it was reported that Denorfia could be moved soon.
- The Royals have decided that Alex Rios isn't a good fit for their right field need. Because the team is unable to take on much additional salary (if any), they could wait until August to add a bat.
- While Troy Tulowitzki's name has had a lot of buzz around it, club officials from interested teams tell Stark there's no indication he is available. Rather, the Rockies are open to moving bullpen arms Adam Ottavino, Rex Brothers, LaTroy Hawkins and Matt Belisle. However, the team would only move Hawkins if they're overwhelmed. That seems a bit odd, given his age, but Hawkins does have a cheap club option and has drawn praise in Denver for his mentoring of younger talent.
- The D'Backs are telling clubs that they'd move Addison Reed, but they don't want to move Brad Ziegler. Arizona is also willing to move Aaron Hill and Oliver Perez. They'll listen on Martin Prado and Josh Collmenter, although they're more hesitant to deal them.
- The chances of Cliff Lee being traded before August are almost nonexistent. Scouts who have seen him don't think he looks close to healthy, and the money he's owed is of course problematic.

Nationals Notes: Astros, Hill, Prado, Iglesias
It's difficult to tell whether the Nationals could be very busy or stand pat before the trade deadine, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post writes. It seems like the Nats are at least exploring a number of options, as Kilgore reports…
- The Nationals have asked the Astros about available relievers, and Houston had scouts watching the Nats' Triple-A and Class A affiliates over the weekend. Left-hander Tony Sipp best fits the Nationals' needs, Kilgore surmises, since Washington is thin on southpaw relief options.
- The Nationals haven't talked to the Diamondbacks about Aaron Hill or Martin Prado. Either player could fill the hole at second base created by Ryan Zimmerman's injury (Anthony Rendon moved to third), or Prado could simply play third and Rendon could return to second. Kilgore isn't sure the Nats want to pay Hill the $26MM he's owed through 2016, however, though Hill loved playing for manager Matt Williams when Williams was a D'Backs coach. Arizona is reportedly shopping Hill but "barely listening" to inquiries about Prado.
- With Jose Iglesias possibly on the trade block in Detroit, Kilgore thinks the Nats could be interested given the team's desire to add a young shortstop as depth if Ian Desmond can't be extended. The Tigers had a scout watching the Nationals' Class A team recently, Kilgore notes, though that isn't necessarily related to Iglesias.
- Speaking of scouting assignments, the Rangers had an evaluator watching a recent game between the Nationals' and Braves' Triple-A teams. The two NL East rivals are both known to be looking for relief pitching.
- Washington had scouts watching two recent Red Sox series, and Kilgore figures that they were checking out relievers Koji Uehara and Andrew Miller. Earlier today, Peter Gammons reported that the Nats were interested in Miller.

hi, everyone!
I am using GridBagLayout a lot as my favorite layoutmanager and often i have had the need to set
equal margin values for JButton objects in other words i want the space from the left and the right
edges of the text to be of the same width. I know it might be easier to use other layoutmanagers
but for now i am confused with this issue. I have an example of code to highlight my problem in the
space below this text:
this.jBtnShowTitles.setText("View titles"); this.jBtnShowTitles.setActionCommand("View titles"); this.jBtnShowTitles.setToolTipText("View titles"); this.jBtnShowTitles.setMnemonic('v'); this.jBtnShowTitles.setFocusable(false); this.jBtnShowTitles.setMargin(new Insets(0,3,0,3)); component.add(jBtnShowTitles,new GridBagConstraints(4,0,1,1,GridBagConstraints.NONE, GridBagConstraints.BOTH,GridBagConstraints.LINE_START,GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL, new Insets(0,0,0,3),GridBagConstraints.NONE,GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL)); this.jBtnSave.setText("Save"); this.jBtnSave.setActionCommand("save"); this.jBtnSave.setToolTipText("save"); this.jBtnSave.setMnemonic('s'); this.jBtnSave.setFocusable(false); //Could the answer be found in the setMargin(Insets ins) method? this.jBtnSave.setMargin(new Insets(0,3,0,3)); this.btnGroupNew.add(jBtnSave); component.add(jBtnSave,new GridBagConstraints(5,0,1,1,GridBagConstraints.NONE, GridBagConstraints.BOTH,GridBagConstraints.LINE_START,GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL, new Insets(0,0,0,3),GridBagConstraints.NONE,GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL)); // ... more jbuttons
In the code snippet above its obvious that the "view titles" button object will always be larger than
the button object labeled "Save". How can i set the margin with for the save button in the code
above so that this button will stretch out to the same width as the "view titles" button? I have not
experimented that much with the FontMetrics class but i can imagine that its there that the solution
to my problem resides or maybe i am completely missing something big here and should stick to
another layoutmanager for this purpose ... i just need some advice on how to see things clearer
around this problem.

One way is to add both the buttons to a JPanel with a GridLayout(1, 2, hgap, 0) and add that JPanel to your outer panel which has a GridBagLayout, with colspan = 2 if required.
Another way, but not recommended, is to obtain the preferredSize of each button and set both to the same value (the wider of the two).
To get better help sooner, post a
SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable)
example, without all the irrelevant tooltip/action/mnemonic stuff, that demonstrates the problem.

Anepalco's Café – Literally Amazing Chilquiles in Orange
**For full post and pics**: http://www.lauhound.com/2012/01/anepa...
When I come home I always try to make every meal count because while I come home quite a bit, I'm never there for that long, so I try not to have any misses. On my last trip home from the holidays, I asked on chowhound for some new Mexican recommendations in Orange County and Das Ubergeek gave me this recommendation (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8230...).
Honestly, if you gave me the menu and asked me if I wanted to try this place I would've probably said no because the menu (http://anepalcoscafe.com/aboutus.aspx) is a mix of Mexican and American and just looks like some type of jack of all trades master of none type of menu that wouldn't be good, but luckily looks can be very deceiving.
The restaurant is a small non-descript café located just off the 22 freeway by the hospital and doesn't have too much in the way of décor. The place is tiny and probably can fit maybe 15 people comfortably. The guys working there were nice guys.
Here's what we got:
- Anepalco's Chilaquiles: Chilaquiles are a Mexican dish that is made up of fried tortilla strips, red sauce, scrambled eggs, cotija cheese, sour cream, avocado mousse and pico de gallo. When I've had this dish before it's been more like fried tortilla strips with all of the sauces dumped on top. Here they made the tortilla chips into a semi-cake and topped it with a small omelet, pico de gallo, avocado mousse and sour cream on top with the red sauce and cotija cheese on the side. It looks much nicer than other versions I've had. The tortilla chip cake is really good and the toppings were all very good, but the real standout was the red sauce and cotija cheese. I would categorize it as amazing and I don't say that about that many things. It's a little spicy and has this addicting tangy flavor that pairs just perfectly with the cotija cheese. It was just so good. This is definitely one of the best dishes I've had in a while. 9/10
- Huevos Rancheros: This was another dish that was highly recommended. Its typical huevos rancheros consisting of tortilla, black beans, scrambled eggs, cotija cheese, avocado mousse, pico de gallo, sour cream and red sauce. It was actually fairly similar to the chilaquiles, but with black beans and a tortilla instead of a tortilla cake. However, it was one of the better huevos rancheros I've ever had and while everything was very good, it was the red sauce and cotija cheese again that really set it apart. The flavor of that sauce with everything is just so good. While I thought it was very good, I'd give the nod to the chilaquiles. 8.5/10
I loved this place and it was one of the best new finds I've been to in a while. I can't wait to come back and try more stuff including the huevos divorciados, which were also highly recommended by the staff. I highly recommend coming here.
The best chilaquiles I've had anywhere. The presentation and flavors that came out of this kitchen quite honestly startled me. It was an amazing dish that I would recommend. The only problem is that it's in an odd location and the only reason I even tried Anepelco's is I was doing rehab across the street in the hospital. I'd stop by every other treatment for breakfast and dinner.
The owners are real nice friendly people and they put out excellent food. I've had lunch there and the sandwiches are an excellent bargain with the same great flavors as the chilaquiles.
re: js76wisco
yah i'm not like a chilaquiles expert or anything, but man i was just blown away by how good they were.
It is in sort of an odd location, but this is well worth the short drive from newport to get here. It might be one of my first stops when I come back home again, really really glad I found this place
re: A5 KOBE
for sure
re: Das Ubergeek
great rec!
they might be moving or something right? i thought i overheard some guy talking about it when i was there
re: Das Ubergeek
You, know, though--the coffee at Anepalco's, although not quite artisinal or anything, is actually markedly better than you would except from most breakfast/lunch joints.
re: georgempavlov
i didnt try the coffee, but ill pick some up next time i go
about a month ago we had a very good brunch there ; the food shows a lighter touch, allowing the flavours to interact a bit more instead of getting smothered by too much oil, high heat, or overcooking. my spouse's savoury crepe with a tomatillo sauce was quite good ; one doesn't expect crepes from a Mex-american place, but the cuisines are actually very compatible, as are French and Spanish of course.
They were just featured in the OC Weekly, and opened another location in the Ayres Inn near UCI medical. The parking at the Orange location is horrid, the new location is supposed to be better. As for the chilaquiles, I actually didn't really care for them. I prefer them the traditional way. I think I just don't like the egg cooked flat then folded up.
I also tried their chicken crepe, and thought it was just ok, kind of mushy. I really wanted to try the beef but they were out.
re: iLoveUni
oh interesting, irvine is closer to my mom's place so that makes things easier
yah it is different from the traditional way, but for me i like that better
re: Lau
The review on the "Diary of a Mad Hungry Woman" had a nice write up of this place with some very good close up photos of the food: http://madhungrywoman.com/2011/03/22/...
Great review, Lau. I wish that I lived closer to it...but probably a good thing I don't. ;-D>
re: Servorg
thanks and thanks for the link
well i live 3,000 miles away in NY! haha, but i come back home to CA alot so i get to enjoy places like this when i go back
re: Lau
Someday I'll get back to your "present" area of the country to satisfy my cravings for all the things that the NY area is known for. Do you find yourself trending towards Mexican food out here when you come or do you branch out?
I really like the fact that both the OC and LA areas have great examples of various Mexican regional food available. I just had a breakfast burrito the other morning from the new Tacos Por Favor branch in WLA and found it every bit as good as the original in Santa Monica.
When I get over to the East LA area I end up finding too many choices, and it leaves me spinning in circles trying to make a final selection.
re: Servorg
i try to eat stuff that i can't really good versions of in NY, so i'd say in order i typically get:
1) vietnamese: i really like little saigon and its not too far from where i live, my mom thinks im obsessed with japanese food (its my favorite food after chinese / japanese)
2) mexican: NY just doesn't even remotely compare
3) chinese: NY has decent chinese, but LA chinese is better
4) japanese: NY has good upscale japanese, but any more middle type of range japanese, LA is generally better
5) thai: NY has ok thai, but LA's is much better
re: Lau
When you return next time see if you can arrange a time to get up to the LA area and give Red Medicine a test run. Not traditional Vietnamese, but great food in its own right. Here's a link to Kevin Eats post: http://www.kevineats.com/2010/12/red-...
re: Servorg
yah def, i havent been getting up to LA alot the last few tiems ive been home, but i need to get up there more
re: Servorg
That Kevin eats post is very outdated. Many of those dishes are no longer on the menu and the presentation has changed for many of the others. The glaring omission is that there is no porridge! *gasp*
Here is a link to JL's more recent photo essay:
re: rweller
will def give it a try!
I tried the chilaquiles here last week and was not impressed at all! The "cake" they make out of the chips really was disappointing to me. I much prefer traditional chilaquiles over this, but appreciate their originality and beautiful presentation.

The Pact – A Ouija Board Talks Back Clip
- Genevieve Sibayan
- On September 20, 2012
We've all tried a Ouija board once havn't we, usually it's someone pushing the glass or coin around the table trying not to look obvious, however in this terrifying clip of The Pact, things get a little scary. Check it out for yourselves.
There's also another preview clip below, what a treat.
Following the death of her mother, Annie receives a phone call from her former drug addict sister, Nicole, imploring her to come back to visit their family home and to attend their mother's funeral. Still tortured by memories of a troubled childhood, Annie is reluctant to revisit the past, but eventually agrees to Nicole's request. However, on arrival at the house she finds no trace of her sister and, when Nicole fails to turn up at the funeral, Annie simply assumes she has relapsed into drug use as a way of dealing with her loss. Not wishing to spend the night alone in her mother's house, Annie invites her cousin, Liz, and Nicole's estranged young daughter to stay over.
But it's not long before Annie begins to sense another, unseen presence in their midst. Household objects are inexplicably moved around, strange noise are heard during the night and a broken picture frame reveals a photo of a sinister figure. Then all hell breaks loose. Annie finds herself physically threatened by this malign supernatural force residing within the house and, following a particularly terrifying assault, discovers that Liz, too, has disappeared. With her life now seriously at risk, and time running out, Annie is forced to confront her worst fears and solve the mystery surrounding her family's history before it is too late.
Directed by first time feature director Nicholas McCarthy, The Pact stars Caity Lotz , Casper Van Dien, Agnes Bruckner, Haley Hudson and Kathleen Rose Perkins.
It's released on Oct 1st on DVD and Blu-ray well in time for Halloween.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

A 'Life' well lived
Animated 'Book of Life' overcomes average storyline with extraordinary presentation, details
"Beauty is only skin deep" applies all too well to The Book of Life. An animated feature from first-time director Jorge R. Gutierrez, The Book of Life spins a classic love triangle – two childhood friends, Manolo (Diego Luna) and Joaquin (Channing Tatum) both in love with Maria (Zoe Saldana).
Maria, in all honesty, is a little more interested in Manolo's musical charms, but her father wants her to marry the boastful and militaristic Joaquin. And when two gods, La Muerte and Xibalba (Kate de Castillo and Ron Perlman, respectively), turn this little love triangle into a wager (as gods often do), Manolo's quest for true love will take him through life, death, immortality and the underworlds of Mexican folklore.
Now, back to the "beauty" part – because as far as the visuals go, The Book of Life is the most extraordinary animated film to hit theaters this year. > Read more.

text: If you are looking for a healthy way to start off your day (or a healthy snack for that matter), you might want to consider a bowl of flax plus (with pumpkin seeds) granola. It is 100% whole grain organic and contains a nice dose of omega 3 & 6 fats. A half cup is only 140 calories, and, with the addition of 1/2 cup of skim milk, you are looking a breakfast of under 200 calories which will hold you over until mid-morning. Oh, did I mention it tastes PHENOMONAL? I've been eating this stuff several times weekly for a number of years and I never tire of it. Give it a shot (available at any grocery store in the organic foods section).

The Dreyfus Affair (French: L'affaire Dreyfus), also known as Dreyfus Court-Martial,[2] is an 1899 silent docudrama written and directed by Georges Méliès. Released by Méliès's Star Film Company and numbered 206–217 in its catalogs,[3] the film consists of eleven installments, each reconstructing a historical event from the Dreyfus affair.[4]
The eleven installments of the film follow the events of the Dreyfus affair from 1894 through September 1899,[5] the month of the film's release.[1] The table below gives each installment's chronological order (#), numbering in Star Film catalogs (SFC), original French title, English release titles for the US and UK, and length in meters (m), as well as the individual scene summaries from the catalog released on 1 November 1899 by the Warwick Trading Company, the only known British firm to sell all eleven installments of the film.[6]
|English title(s)
|French title
|Dreyfus Court Martial—Arrest of Dreyfus (US)
Arrest of Dreyfus, 1894 (UK)
|Dictée du bordereau (arrestation de Dreyfus)
|"Du Paty de Clam requests Captain Dreyfus to write as he dictates for the purpose of ascertaining whether his handwriting conforms to that of the Bordereau. He notices the nervousness of Dreyfus, and accuses him of being the author of the Bordereau. Paty de Clam offers Dreyfus a revolver, with advice to commit suicide. The revolver is scornfully rejected, Dreyfus stating that he had no need for such cowardly methods, proclaiming his innocence. His arrest is immediately ordered by M. Cochefort."
|The Degradation of Dreyfus (US)
The Degradation of Dreyfus in 1894 (UK)[a]
|La Dégradation
|"Shows the troops ranging in a quadrant inside the yard of the Military School in Paris. The Adjutant, who conducts the degradation, reads the sentence and proceeds to tear off in succession all of the buttons, laces, and ornaments from the uniform of Captain Dreyfus, who is compelled to pass in disgrace before the troops. A most visual representation of this first act of injustice to Dreyfus."
|Devil's Island—Within the palisade (US)
Dreyfus at Devil's Island—Within the palisade (UK)
|La Case de Dreyfus à l'île du Diable
|"The scene opens within the Palisades, showing Dreyfus seated on a block meditating. The guard enters bearing a letter from his wife, which he hands to Captain Dreyfus. The latter reads it and endeavours to talk to the Guard, who, however, refuses to reply, according to strict orders from his Government, causing Dreyfus to become very despondent."
|Dreyfus Put in Irons (US)
Dreyfus Put in Irons—Inside Cell at Devil's Island (UK)
|Dreyfus mis aux fers (la double boucle)
|"Showing the interior view of the hut in which Dreyfus is confined. The scene takes place at night, showing the moon through the window of the cell. Two guards stealthily approach the cot upon which Dreyfus is sleeping. They awake him and read to him the order from the French minister–M. Lebon–to put him into irons, which they proceed at once to accomplish. Dreyfus vigorously protests against this treatment, which protests, however, fall on deaf ears. The chief sergeant and guards before leaving the hut, inspect the four corners of same by means of a lantern."
|Suicide of Colonel Henry (US, UK)
|Suicide du colonel Henry
|"Shows the interior of the cell of the Prison Militaire du Cherche-Midi, Paris, where Colonel Henry is confined. He is seated at a table writing a letter, on completion of which he rises and takes a razor out he had concealed in his porte-manteau, with which he cuts his throat. The suicide is discovered by the sergeant of the guard and officers."
|Landing of Dreyfus at Quiberon (US)
Landing of Dreyfus from Devil's Island (UK)
|Débarquement de Dreyfus à Quiberon
|"A section of the port Haliquen (Quiberon) Bretagne, at night where Dreyfus was landed by French marines, and officers after his transport from Devil's Island. He is received by the French authorities, officers, and gendarmes, and conducted to the station for his departure to Rennes. This little scene was enacted on a dark rainy night, which is clearly shown in the film. The effects are further heightened by vivid flashes of lightning which are certainly new in cinematography."
|Dreyfus Meets His Wife at Rennes (US)
Dreyfus in Prison of Rennes (UK)
|Entrevue de Dreyfus et de sa femme (prison de Rennes)
|"Showing room at the military prison at Rennes in which Dreyfus the accused is confined. He is visited by his counsel, Maître Labori and Demange, with whom he is seen in animated conversation. A visit from his wife is announced, who enters. The meeting of the husband and wife is most pathetic and emotional."
|The Attempt Against the Life of Maitre Labori (US)
The Attempt Against Maitre Labori (UK)
|Attentat contre Me Labori
|"Maître Labori is seen approaching the bridge of Rennes in company with Colonel Picquart and M. Gast, Mayor of Rennes. They notice that they are followed by another man to whom Colonel Picquart calls Labori's attention. They, however, consider his proximity of no importance, and continue to speak together. As soon as their backs are turned, the man draws a revolver and fires twice at Maître Labori, who is seen to fall to the ground. The culprit makes his escape, pursued by Colonel Picquart and M. Gast."
|The Fight of Reporters at the Lycée (US)
The Fight of Journalists at the Lycee (UK)
|Suspension d'audience (bagarre entre journalistes)
|"During an interval in the proceedings of the court martial, the journalists enter into an animated discussion, resulting in a dispute between Arthur Meyer of the 'Gaulois', and Mme. Severine of the 'Fronde', resulting in a fight between Dreyfusards and Anti-Dreyfusards, in which canes and chairs are brought down upon the heads of many. The room is finally cleared by the gendarmes."
|The Court Martial at Rennes (US, UK)
|Le Conseil de guerre en séance à Rennes
|"A scene in the Lycee at Rennes, showing the military court-martial of Captain Dreyfus. The only occupants of the room at this time are Maître Demange and secretary. Other advocates and the stenographers now begin to arrive and the sergeant is seen announcing the arrival of Colonel Jouaust and other officers comprising the seven judges of the court-martial. The five duty judges are also seen in the background. On the left of the picture are seen Commander Cordier and Adjutant Coupois, with their stenographers and gendarmes. On the right are seen Maître Demange, Labori, and their secretaries. Colonel Jouaust orders the Sergeant of the Police to bring in Dreyfus. Dreyfus enters, saluting the Court, followed by the Captain of Gendarmerie, who is constantly with him. They take their appointed seats in front of the judges. Colonel Jouaust puts several questions to Dreyfus, to which he replies in a standing position. He then asks Adjutant Coupois to call the first witness, and General Mercier arrives. He states that his deposition is a lengthy one, and requests a chair, which is passed to him by a gendarme. In a sitting position he proceeds with his deposition. Animated discussion and cross-questioning is exchanged between Colonel Jouaust, General Mercier, and Maître Demange. Captain Dreyfus much excited gets up and vigorously protests against these proceedings. This scene, which is a most faithful portrayal of this proceeding, shows the absolute portraits of over thirty of the principal personages in this famous trial."
|Dreyfus Leaving the Lycée for Jail (US)
Officers and Dreyfus Leaving the Lycee (UK)[b]
|Dreyfus allant du lycée de Rennes à la prison
|"The exterior of the Lycee de Rennes, where the famous Dreyfus Court-Martial was conducted, showing the French staff leaving the building after the sitting, and crossing the yard between the French soldiers forming a double line. Maîtres Demange and Labori also make their appearance, walking towards the foreground of the picture, and at length Captain Dreyfus is seen approaching, being accompanied by the Captain of Gendarmes, who is conducting him back to prison."
Production of The Dreyfus Affair began while the real-life Alfred Dreyfus's trial was proceeding in Rennes. The film was made entirely in Méliès's Star Films studio in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, though with a strong emphasis on cinematic realism markedly different from the energetic theatrical style used in Méliès's better-known fantasy films.[4] An ironworker with a strong resemblance to Dreyfus was hired for the role in order to increase the film's realism.[8] Méliès himself appears in the film as Dreyfus's attorney Fernand Labori, and makes a brief reappearance as a journalist after Labori's attempted assassination.[9]
At about the same time as Méliès's production, the studio Pathé Frères also produced a reenactment of the Dreyfus affair, in six episodes, with the actor Liezer as Dreyfus; this version may have been directed by Ferdinand Zecca.[10]
The eleven installments were sold individually at US$9.75 each and shown in sequence, making The Dreyfus Affair the first known film serial.[4] Both Méliès's and Pathé's versions reached England in September 1899, where they quickly became the most extensively advertised films of that year (the record was broken the following month with the release of films of the Transvaal War).[11] According to the film historian Jay Leyda, Méliès's emphasis on realism was so convincing that European audiences believed they were watching actual documentary film of the events.[8]
Nine of the eleven installments (all except scenes 2 and 11, catalog numbers 216 and 217) survive as a 35mm positive print at the BFI National Archive.[12] All eleven installments of the film are believed to survive at the Archives françaises du film in Bois d'Arcy.[13]
The film is prominently featured in Susan Daitch's 2001 novel Paper Conspiracies, which includes fictionalized accounts of its making, preservation, and survival.[14]

According to Marcus Thompson, team sources are revealing details regarding Andrew Bogut's left ankle surgery back in April. It turns out that when the 7'0 center went to get his ankle cleaned out of scar tissue and bone fragments, Dr. Richard Ferkel noticed a "minor" cartilage issue which he proceeded to repair with microfracture surgery. According to Contra Costa Times: As it turns out, Warriors center Andrew Bogut did have microfracture surgery on his left ankle in April. But, according to team sources, it's not the same as the alarming procedure we learned about through the likes of Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber and Greg Oden. "Some people go in for microfracture surgery. This wasn't that," one source said pointing out that players who are experiencing chronic and degenerative problems turn to microfracture surgery. Bogut, on the other hand, went in to get his left ankle cleaned out of scar tissue and bone fragments. When Dr. Richard Ferkel was inside, he noticed a "minor" cartila

213 Tasting Notes
Per Katrina Hadley's suggestion, I brewed up Sweet Apple Cider with some Snickerdoodle — a 50:50 mix — in an attempt to get more of a apple cider flavor from Sweet Apple Cider. The result was this incredible apple-cinnamon-molasses(?) drink that was a perfect replacement for my favorite fall drink. Yum! Guess I know how I'm finishing off the last of my Sweet Apple Cider.
From the Fall sampler, which my friend was kind enough to gift me (along with the tea chocolate) when she came to visit!
Dry, this smells like apples and thick, gooey caramel. Very promising. Steeped, this tastes like apple juice, which is great because that's close to its intended flavor. That being said, there's this weird fluffiness to the taste that I couldn't place until I got to the last few sips in my mug.
This tea tastes like apple juice Jello.
Not that that's a bad thing, it's quite pleasant. It's just … not cider?
Too bad too, because apple cider is one of my favorite things and this tea is a lot cheaper than buying jug after jug of it.
Well …
This isn't something I would have picked out for myself. One of my friends gave it to me as a housewarming present when she was over a few weeks ago. My fiance and I have been living together for a year and just got the house set up about thirty minutes before she arrived. She's now one of three friends we've actually had over since moving.
(Not being conveniently located makes it hard to have company over.)
Anyway. My friend gave me this and some of the Coco Chai Rooibos chocolate. Hot Lips seemed to be the more interesting choice, so it's what I dug into last night.
The chocolate is extremely dry and crumbly, really not my favorite. I keep wanting to mix it with something soft (ice cream? cookie dough?) to make it's consistency more appealing. And … it's overwhelmingly spicy cinnamon, not bad but a bit overwhelming, especially when the squares are so big!
On the bright side, it assuages my curiosity about Hot Lips itself. If the chocolate is accurate, Hot Lips = Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice … and I have a lot of that already.
I don't know, guys. It's not bad, but I'm on the fence anyway.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Spices
I used the last bit of this to make a large, before-bed mug. While not cotton candy, it was sweet and light and did a great job of relaxing me.
Goodbye, Cotton Candy. You were a very nice dessert tea when you felt like cooperating.
I had the last of this hot last night. It's a really nice tea, if inconsistent. Sometimes, I get a lot of sweet raspberry flavor, other times I get only baked bread notes. Enjoyable while it lasted and one I was very happy to share.
I cold brewed this overnight for about 12 hours and I'm finishing the cup off now. I think I liked it better hot, to be honest. Cold, all I get is a bitter/bready taste that's not bad but not stellar either. I'd rather have notes of sweet raspberry than bread from this tea, so I think I'm going to polish off what's left hot.
Backlog sipdown. I actually finished this off last weekend and was too lazy to log it. In fairness, it was a busy weekend – my fiance and I volunteered at a program that makes science accessible to kids on Friday, finished cleaning the house that night, and then had friends over the rest of the weekend. I'm glad we got so much done, but it was seriously draining.
This tea was a sample from my best friend's mom, it's currently her preferred tea. I have to admit, I would repurchase this. It tasted strongly of berries (what kind I can't exactly say) and it really hit all the right "fruity tea" notes for me. The resteep was quite weak, however, I've come to expect as much from Teavana.
Not bad, definitely something I'd consider picking up at some point.
Flavors: Berries
When my new project manager first realized I'm a tea drinker, this is the tea she recommended to me. It's sold by a local coffee/bagel shop and was her drink of choice during her masters program. Apparently, a pot of Strawberry Shortcake was key to getting through late night study sessions.
I picked some up a few weeks ago and have avoided trying it. I trust my boss … but I usually get burned by dessert teas. I expect liquefied dessert and I get nothing. Since I'm bored this morning, I decided what better time to try out Strawberry Shortcake?
The dry leaf is probably 70:30 black tea:additives. I doesn't smell fruity or sweet. Steeped, this smells faintly, almost sweet. Three minutes may have been too long of a steep time too, because this one is fairly bitter. That being said, the bitterness is relegated to the last half of the sip and the first half is STRAWBERRY JAM. I'm shocked and impressed. I didn't think it was possible for me to get any sort of dessert flavor out of a tea, considering my recent track record.
Going to resteep this and add some sugar – maybe I can make that jammy quality really pop!
Flavors: Bitter, Jam, Strawberry
I think I'm falling out of love with this one, which is sad because I like the idea of having a sweet dessert tea without caffeine and nothing else in my cupboard really fits the bill. This is usually the tea I reach for after dinner and, while the first few cups were spot on cotton candy, lately it's just been generically sweet. I still like it, don't get me wrong, I'm just … a little sick of it? On the bright side, I didn't stock up on this when I thought it was going to be unavailable. And, if you're in need of a sugary fix (without the calories) this is your tea.
Dropping my rating to something that feels more appropriate.
Thanks again to Courtney for sending some of this one my way!
I finished off the last of this one tonight and decided to add some sugar to see if I could get more maple. I am SO GLAD I did. This one is incredible — liquid maple syrup incredible! Yum yum yum!
Flavors: Maple Syrup

Preparation of Mesoporous Silica-supported Palladium Catalyst for Biofuel Upgrade
Ling Fei, Joshua Hill, Qianglu Lin, Yun Xu, Shuguang Deng, Hongmei Luo
Department of Chemical Engineering, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003
A large number of reactions in organic chemistry (such as the Heck and hydrogenation) are facilitated by catalysis with palladium compounds. Due to its highly selective chemical transformations in interfacial reactions, palladium plays an important role in petroleum cracking and biofuel upgrading. In this report, Pd catalyst based on mesoporous silica and/or carbon nanotubes (CNT) support has been prepared, such as Pd/CoMo/SiO2 and Pd/CNT/CoMo/SiO2. The structure and morphologies of catalysts are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The BET surface area is tested by ASAP nitrogen adsorption and desorption. We will study the catalyst activity for biofuel upgrade, and report the influence of mesoporous silica with different pore size and surface area, CNT, and metals from different synthetic approach on catalyst activity.

A monument to atheism now sits near a granite slab that lists the Ten Commandments outside a courthouse in a conservative north Florida town.
The New Jersey-based group American Atheists unveiled the 1,500-bound granite bench Saturday as a counter to the religious monument in what's called a free speech zone.
Group leaders say they believe it's the first such atheist monument on government property.
About 200 people attended the event. Most were atheists, but a few protesters attended as well, including a group with signs that said, "Yankees Go Home."
The atheists sued to try to have the Ten Commandments removed but dropped the case when they were told they could have a similar monument.
