Mausoleum, Cemetery, Crypt
The Great Pyramid, The Taj Mahal, The Tomb of King Mausolus, and The City of Tombs all stand as witnesses to greatness. They pay tribute to lives lived, love shared, and sacrifices made. Today, the tradition of honoring family heritage through memorialization continues with the creation of family mausoleums to honor our loved ones.
Looking back in history, we see many architecturally magnificent structures commemorating the memory of those we have loved, honored, and lost. Perhaps no creation of man has so intrigued the imagination than that of the famous Sphinx, which is 140 feet in length and 66 feet high. It was carved on the spot from a natural mass of rock and many claim it was built about 4600 BC.
The name "Mausoleum" was established by the Romans upon seeing the impressive tomb erected at Halicarnassus in the third century before Christ, honoring King Mausolus of a nation then known as Caria (part of Asia Minor today). The tomb was adjudged one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World. This architectural influence of the mausoleum has been preserved to the present time.
A lifetime
of success deserves a permanent testimonial. A personalized, custom
designed private estate mausoleum, constructed to your exact specifications,
attests to your worthy achievements. A sound, sensible investment, the
customized family mausoleum ensures a peaceful, maintenance-free resting
place that will last for centuries to come.

18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
Teenage characters who are always on their phone/cellphone
This is part of a TRS effort to make tropes out of Cellphone and then redirect it to Phone Tropes.
A teenager who treats their phone or cellphone as if it was the most important thing in the world and are on it constantly, and this almost always leads to an insanely high bill. If they use cellphones, they may feel more comfortable texting than actually interacting with other people. When they have to babysit kids, they might not care about them. This trope is older than cell phones; it goes back to the proliferation of the home telephone. In pre-cell phone days, this often involved a gag about there being only one phone in the house (or two phones on the same line where each extension could listen in on the other). Which made it impossible for the poor parents to call while the Bratty Teenage Daughter tied things up. Classic trait for the Valley Girl, Bratty Teenage Daughter, and other teenage stereotypes.

This reporter can't get a word out due to a caravan of emergency vehicles. Apparently, some guy couldn't wait for a commercial break to call for help.
In case you're unfamiliar with Russia, the dude who sounds like a vuvuzela lets you know your stop is approaching, and you fall out the rear window so people can board at the front.
Well, he didn't miss the table.
This chick falls so hard that you can't help but feel bad for the stage.
The guys at this competition felt the quarter-pipe was designed to steep to start from the top and refused to use it. This chick decides to prove their point.
The most shocking part for the crowd was the realization that the girl group was actually singing.
This dancing dog's name was Lola. She was a showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there. She would merengue and do the cha-cha. And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar. Sign her up for Dancing with the Stars: Dog Edition. Is that a thing? It should be.
If the league starts allowing impalements such as this one, there should be fewer but better soccer players pretty quickly.
This dude gets pretty decent air on his pogo stick but misses his landing and bounces his chin off the asphalt.

How Hawaii's laws reach across the ocean
By Holly Martin
A debate rages around genetically modified crops in Hawaii, and the outcome could very well affect farms across the High Plains and Midwest.
Hawaii has become the testing ground for a number of big seed companies, including Syngenta, Monsanto, and DuPont, just to name a few. In fact, the seed crop business is big in the Aloha State. Currently, 45 seed crop companies are operating in Hawaii. The islands have distinct advantage over the mainland in that three corn crops a year can be grown due to the mild weather, therefore more rapidly advancing the progress of breeding programs.
According to a Hawaii Farm Bureau study, the industry is the largest and fastest growing agricultural commodity in the state, contributing 34 percent of all total value of Hawaii agricultural crops. The industry employs nearly 1,400 people, growing nearly 30 percent from 2006 to 2012, in a state where job growth as a whole dropped nearly 10 percent.
But the industry's significance extends over 4,000 miles to the northeast. Mark Phillipson, who is president of the Hawaii Crop Improvement Association and an executive with Syngenta was quoted in the New York Times saying, "Almost any corn seed sold in the U.S. touches Hawaii somewhere" in its development.
Consequently, it would benefit corn farmers on the mainland to closely watch what is developing in Hawaii. Kauai County Council recently passed a bill that would require reporting of pesticide use, making regulations even tighter than what is already implemented by the state and national governments. A bill on the main island of Hawaii, will prevent the cultivation of genetically modified crops altogether.
On Kauai, the community members concerns seem to be centered around the chemicals being applied to the genetically modified crops. They want notification of what types of chemicals are applied and when.
The companies argue that disclosing the information could mean sharing proprietary information. But set that aside and think of your chemical application plan for your corn crop in 2014. Just go ahead and write down what days you will be spraying, the amount and what chemical. What? That's impossible because you can't decide until the problems surface, or until the wind dies down, or until the crop reaches a certain stage? Exactly.
The seed companies are following all regulations set forth on a state and national level. But local governments are trying to force themselves into the mix. What started as a debate against genetically modified crops, is now morphed into proposed regulations that seek to control chemical applications.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather see these companies do their crop development in the United States than foreign countries. But try to push unnecessary regulations on them and they will leave faster than an ocean wave washes away their tracks in the Hawaiian sand.
The real problem is people who don't understand trying to regulate things they know very little about. And what they do know, can not be persuaded by silly things like current scientific data.
Critics of the seed companies and supporters of regulation have cited increase cancer in Kauai, where the largest concentration of the seed crop farms exist. In response, the Hawaii State Department of Health released a report that said in fact, the opposite was true: cancer rates on the island were lower than the rest of the state.
And in an interesting twist, the bill that bans genetically modified crops on the main Hawaiian island had to be modified so that it did not include papaya, a crop that is almost entirely genetically modified to a virus that nearly wiped out the crop 20 years ago.
In other words, Hawaiians are comfortable with GM crops when it hits close to home. When they affect a crop that hits in the Midwest, they become hypocritical.
Somehow, reason needs to reign. If it doesn't, a few thousand people will lose their jobs in Hawaii and the progress made in crop genetic development will slow significantly.

This is on the better side of OK. What i did like about it is that it is very non-obrusive, absorbs well, no millia, it maintains the status quo. I cant really see any anti-ageing benefits though and no brightening action as claimed. It has no fragrance and absorbs well under makeup. The squeeze tube is great and gets every last bit out. The bionic eye cream under the exuviance label is a bit better but quite a bit more in price so if you are very price discriminant, best to try this first. This provides the perfect level of moisturisation and is not greasy at all.

I've been using Neostrata Gel Plus and loving it, so I was looking for other Neostrata product and found this Bionic Eye Cream. After 10 days usage, it turns out to the worst disaster. I was seriously allergic to this due to Vitamin K. My eyes were swollen like a size of table tennis ball. It was awful and a huge medical bills to pay. The funny thing this allergies didn't start till 10 days later as my dermatologist said, the acid/vitamin K accumulate to a point when my skin cannot tolerate and explode. It's an awful experience.

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Yesterday, Steve Nash, Robin Lopez, and Zabian Dowdell were the first players to show up for workouts at the Phoenix Suns facility after the after the NBA lockout was lifted. Today, Grant Hill, Josh Childress, and Channing Frye joined the party along with the other three to get in some practice and use the training facilities as well.
It was expected that players would begin trickling back into the facility as they began arriving back in town, but seeing unrestricted free agent Grant Hill already back in the building, and decked out in Suns' practice gear, certainly seems like a good sign that he will once again don the purple and orange for at least another season.
When interviewed by the media at US Airways Center today, Grant Hill said there was a "Good Chance" that he'll be back with the Suns this year. He also talked about receiving interest from other teams and how it "feels good" to be wanted.
Since contract negotiations are just getting started after teams were first allowed to contact player reps this past Wednesday, Hill was understandably careful not to go into any more detail. He stated that he wanted to "respect the process", which is politician speak for say as little as possible to the media...which is expected while his agent is communicating with teams.
However, with Lon Babby's comments about Hill being the "top priority", Nash's endorsement, and Hill's own expressed desire to stay in Phoenix, one has to believe that all intentions are for Hill to stay put.
Hill's family is also now rooted in Phoenix, and it certainly seems that he is content to eventually ride off into the sunset while staying put in the valley. Not to mention, with less time to visit with other teams and a shortened training camp in order to prepare for a condensed season ahead, it would seem that time is also on The Suns' side to retain Hill; and they could possibly already have a deal in place that's ready to sign on Dec. 9th when free agency officially begins.
[ Update - 12/05/11, 11:18 AM MST ]
According to a new article by David Aldridge on nba.com, Grant Hill has reportedly narrowed down his choices to four teams; the Suns, Clippers, Knicks, and Bulls. Speculation is that Phoenix remains the frontrunner due mostly to Hill's admission that there is a "good chance" that he will re-sign with the Suns, but these other teams are reportedly still being considered. Stay tuned...
Been missing NBA basketball? Yes, we all have since the last action was game 6 of the Finals on June 12th. The NBA's regular season return on Christmas Day will try to fill that hunger with games all day long. The standard set of three games, originally scheduled as Boston Celtics at New York Knicks, Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls at Los Angeles Lakers has been augmented with two additional games: Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers at Golden State Warriors, according to nba.com.
Full schedule (all times EST)
If you live in Arizona, that's live NBA action starting at 10AM and running until about 11PM. Featured players include Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Stephen Curry. Not a bad way to start things after the lockout, eh?
I encourage you all to spend a lot of time conversing with your family and friends on the holiday. But, you know, the conversation might contain a lot of NBA talk.
Update 12/2/11 2:00PM PST : The Phoenix Suns preseason will consist of two games against the Nuggets, at Denver on December 20th and in Phoenix on December 22nd, according to SBN Arizona.
Update II 12/2/11 3:25PM PST: You may have already noticed, but it's back to business as usual at nba.com. After 155 days of the league's official website not showing images or videos of current NBA players, they're all back today in another step to league operations returning to fully normal. Now, when do we find out how much League Pass will cost this year?
NBA players were allowed to report to team facilities today for the first time since the lockout started on July 1, as long as there was no contact between players and team management. This is another baby step in returning the NBA to normal after the five month lockout, which is still technically in effect as the final details of the new CBA are hammered out. Phoenix Suns Steve Nash, Robin Lopez and Zabian Dowdell were present and accounted for at US Airways Center, and chomping at the bit to finally get this season started.
That Nash would show up on the first day possible is no surprise. In addition to being the Suns most valuable player, he is the unquestioned leader of the team along with Grant Hill and Hill, of course, is an unsigned free agent. Showing leadership, dedication, and enthusiasm, setting an example? That's just Nash being Nash.
"Of course (we can be a playoff team)," Nash said. "I definitely would love to see us improve our roster but I think it's up to us to find that little bit of magic collectively and individually to give ourselves a chance to win enough games to get in the playoffs. I would never say we're not a playoff team. I think that should be the minimum of our goal, and let's see how good we can get."
Robin Lopez' appearance and statements are more noteworthy. Last season, Lopez' third in the league, was a disappointment by any measure as his production plummeted from his pre-injury breakout in 2009-2010. Some of it was due to health, some due to other reasons, but by the end of the season Lopez seemed to have lost the trust of the coaching staff and the support of many fans.
Today, Lopez sounded like a player ready for redemption, as he spoke of his regained explosiveness and renewed passion for the game after the long lockout layoff. Our own Seth Pollack covered today's appearance at US Airways Center and brought us back some tasty quote nuggets.
Jump it for more!
Let's flash back to last summer. So excited were we by Lopez' prospects as he returned from a bulging disc in his back that he was expected to make up much of the departed Amare Stoudemire's lost production. This excitement stemmed from an impressive 2009-2010 season from Lopez, which included 14 double-digit scoring performances in the first two months of 2010, and peaked with a 30 point, 12 rebound performance on February 26th against the Clippers.
The following month, Lopez suffered his bulging disc, returned late in the 2010 playoffs, but never quite looked the same after that. Last season, we saw a hesitant and sluggish Lopez, but for the occasional burst of his previous form. By the end it almost looked as if team and player were ready to part ways.
Today, Lopez expressed optimism that his health problems are largely behind him. "I haven't had any pain while playing. I feel a lot quicker. I feel a lot bouncier," he said. "We'll see how it goes."
He went on to acknowledge his poor performance last year. "I think I just needed to use the break to get in the right mindset for this upcoming season and try to get right physically because at the end of the season -- don't get me wrong, I'm not pinning everything on what I wasn't physically, obviously that wasn't it," he said. "I just wasn't playing well, period."
And, from Seth's piece over at the mother ship:
"For the first time in a while, I'm hoping that I can contribute to a pretty good front line out here," Lopez said. "Obviously, we've got Marcin (Gortat) and I'm hoping I can contribute what I failed to contribute last year."
This is literally exactly what I want to hear from Lopez. He's healthy and he's ready to play improved ball. I wrote last spring that the best hope for the Suns is to keep Lopez and build him back up.
If I was another NBA front office, I'd be looking at Lopez as a potential low-risk reclamation project if the Suns have given up on him and I could get him for cheap. But, aren't the Suns in a position where a low-risk, young, talented reclamation project would be nice for us to have, too? And, hey look! We've got one! Why give him away for peanuts?
Since the lockout ended, our discussion has centered around what pieces the Suns can add to their roster. Unfortunately, prospects to add a difference maker are dim. Among current players, there isn't much upside to be found. Jared Dudley growing into an effective starter? Maybe. Channing Frye or Marcin Gortat adding new wrinkles to their games? Could happen. Markieff Morris and Gani Lawal are completely unknown quantities. The 23-year old Robin Lopez is the one player on the Suns roster who has a reasonable chance to play much, much better than he did last year.
And if he does, the Suns front line becomes that much better. An emerging Gortat with his defense and rebounding, and a rejuvenated Lopez with his scoring touch would be a very nice combo, the envy of many teams. We'll see how it plays out when Lopez takes the court, but he certainly sounds like he's ready for the challenge.

text: Jeb Bush Giving 2016 'Serious Look' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 18 Mar 2014 post a comment Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush sees an opening in the 2016 field and is seriously considering an attempt to become the third member of his family to occupy the White House. Those in Bush's inner circle have said that he has not ruled out a run as he has in previous cycles. A Republican strategist told Reuters that Bush "has not given anyone the wave-off at this point" for 2016 and his "inner circle" is "at the beginning of a very serious conversation." "He's really giving it true consideration," the strategist said. "Possibly if you'd asked two years ago, we'd say, 'Oh gosh, I don't think he'd do this.' But I think he's giving it a real, serious look now." Former Republican Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) also indicated that Bush is "leaning toward joining what promises to be a crowded field of Republican presidential contenders." According to the Reuters report, Bush's enhanced travel schedule is also fueling speculation that he is testing the waters for a potential run. His "itinerary for the next several weeks includes stops in Tennessee, New Mexico and Nevada to appear with Republican candidates in this fall's elections or help them raise money for their campaigns." He will then speak "at a dinner ahead of a Republican Jewish Coalition meeting featuring several potential Republican presidential contenders at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas," which is owned by "casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who gave over $100 million to Republican candidates in 2012." Though Bush may be the establishment's top choice after the "Bridgegate" scandals that have engulfed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a national Washington Post-ABC News poll found that half of the country would "definitely" not vote for Bush in a general election.

When greased-up SoCal punks Social Distortion release Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll on Tuesday, it will be the first time they've issued a studio album in eight years. But from the sound of Sex, it could've just as easily been 18 or 80; that's how close frontman Mike Ness has kept to the rockabillied bash-and-pop he started playing as an excuse to wear black eyeliner and a fedora over two decades ago. The tempos have slowed a bit, but only to better emphasize his deceptively sympathetic tales of "Winners and Losers," "Nickels and Dimes." Boston-based openers the Explosion, who release their Virgin debut next month, play fast while they still can.

I consider it a quality of mailing lists, that you cannot easily doctor
or erase, what you have sent. Of course one should switch some brains
"ON" before sending, even though I did not do so in each and every case
I posted, I still see this principle at work when I read mailing lists
and I like it.
For the legal issues:
in Germany, someone, who adminsters a website or any other
communication-device accessable by the public is responsible for
unlawfull posts as a so-called "Mitstörer" (co-offender). That is: such
a person is not directly liable for any offending posts but has to act
within 48h when he/she is informed, that a post is offending someone or
affecting the law. And the admin has to do so in the limits of what is
actually possible for him/her. You have to remove posts from you own
site and maybe inform mirroring sites that you know of, then you did
what you can and thats it. The rest is between the lawyer and the OP,
who's mail-adress is known.
So IF a lawyer sends you a letter (usually a signed one on paper),
telling you the post found at this or that url, is offending someone,
the lawyer works for, you have to act whithin 48h after recieving the
mail. If it is not a lawyer but a OP, that finds out his/her own post
offending/unlawfull, it is wise, to remove/censor what can be reached,
if you dont, you should be quite sure, that you can make a stand before
court in the sense of: "yes, I did know, that the OP was sure the post
was offending but I did not believe - I choose to wait for a letter from
a lawyer...". In that case the risk, to be at least charged for the
costs of the lawsuit is quite high.
This all goes for german jurisdiction and the rules are only derivatives
of practical jurisdiction, spoken by judges in actual lawsuites, they
are not hardcoded to the law.
I also think, that the risk to loose rights, you do not exercise, is
quite high. So in the given case I see a diclosure of information that
is no disclosure after all, since everybody can interpolate, where the
support for iLocked plug-ins in receptor comes from. So defending the
right of free expression against a case of utter stupidity could be a
good thing to do here. Still the post is from the OP and if he gets in
trouble, because you want to fight stupidity, it is a different matter...
best regards

FORT WORTH — Kimberly Guthrie stepped out of the dressing room wearing a silky champagne-colored dress.Looking at herself in a full-length mirror, Guthrie began to cry."This is so pretty," said Guthrie, 16, a sophomore at the Young Women's Leadership Academy in Fort Worth. "I never imagined I would wear something so beautiful."Guthrie was among the high school students who shopped Saturday at a prom dress giveaway sponsored by the Fort Worth Association of Federated Women's Clubs.Students browsed racks of dresses in every color, shape and style, and tables of high heels, handbags and even sparkly jewelry.The tab for shoppers: free."We saw a need in our community, so we stepped up," said Sandra Russell, chairwoman of the prom giveaway, in its third year. "We want these girls to have a night to remember, and we want to help them look their best."Prom costs have surged in recent years. A survey by Visa last year found that the average family expected to spend $1,139 on prom, including attire, transportation and dinner.For many families, that is simply out of reach.Miriam Reyna, 17, a senior at Polytechnic High School, knew she wanted to wear a long red dress to prom. She also knew that buying a full-price dress would be unlikely if not impossible."I probably wouldn't be able to go to prom if I had to buy a dress myself," Reyna said. "That's a lot of money."On Saturday, Reyna spotted the perfect red dress after trying on three others. She accessorized with gold shoes and a gold handbag."Red is bold, and I'm a social butterfly," she said. "I like to stand out."Students came mostly from Fort Worth and Arlington to browse through the dresses, which were donated by the public and members of the Fort Worth association. Next year, Russell said, the association is considering adding tuxedos to the list of items.Shoppers must meet only two criteria: They must show a high school student ID, and they try on the dress.Graciela Mireles, 18, a senior at Trimble Tech High School, tried on three dresses before choosing a long silver gown with sequined flowers on the top.Prom is more than just a dance, Mireles said."This is a celebration that we made it," she said. "We're high school graduates, and we're moving on."Guthrie, the student at the Young Women's Leadership Academy, said she rarely wears dresses or shops for fancy clothes."I usually wear a school uniform or jeans and a T-shirt," she said. "This feels special. I'm shaking right now."
If you go
• The prom dress giveaway continues from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Fort Worth Association of Federated Women's Clubs, 1051 Evans Ave.
• High school girls with a student ID who will be attending prom are eligible to receive items, which do not have to be returned.
• Anyone interested in donating dresses, shoes, handbags or jewelry should call Sandra Russell at 817-235-4479.

It's a fluid situation, but New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's surgically repaired knee looks to be on the mend as scheduled with no setbacks whatsoever..
While the team won't offer any kind of timetable for his return, the NFL Network's Albert Breer is reporting that 'the goal is for Gronkowski to be on the field for the season opener at Miami.'.
It has also been speculated that he could be available for some portion of training camp, although the Patriots will likely be very cautious with that..
Per Chris Wesseling: '... It's possible that Gronk's knee will be ready for the start of training camp in late July, Breer reported on Friday's edition of NFL Total Access, but the Patriots won't do anything to jeopardize his chances of being ready for Week 1. - After listening to the past month's manufactured debate that he is no longer an elite quarterback, a hyper-motivated Tom Brady has to be ecstatic that his difference-making go-to target is on track to resume NFL dominance in September.

Cleveland might not be a significant player on the free agent market at all, Hoynes writes, though they have contacted the agents for Kendrys Morales and Chris Denorfia. Cleveland's interest in Morales dates back to 2006 when he was a free agent defector from Cuba. The switch-hitting Scott Boras client struggled in 2014, hitting a combined .218/.274/.338 in 401 plate appearances between the Twins and Mariners. However, Morales may have struggled due to sitting out through June 8, and he did enter the 2014 season as a lifetime .280/.333/.480 hitter in eight seasons. As Hoynes notes, Morales would become a more plausible target for the Indians if they're able to unload Nick Swisher's contract, which they've reportedly been trying to do.
Denorfia, 34, also struggled in 2014, batting .230/.284/.318 between the Padres and Mariners. While he's never had Morales' upside at the plate, Denorfia has a long track record of hitting left-handed pitching and has excellent defensive marks in both outfield corners (plus the ability to play center in a pinch). A career .292/.358/.430 hitter against left-handed pitching, Denorfia could provide the Indians with a solid glove to pair with David Murphy in an outfield platoon, as Murphy hit just .238/.279/.325 against lefties last year and has a history of struggles against same-handed pitching.]]>
Cleveland's interest in Headley isn't that surprising. While Lonnie Chisenhall had a huge first half, much of that success was driven by an unsustainable average on balls in play, and he's never graded out as a strong defender. Cleveland's -19 Defensive Runs Saved and -18.1 UZR/150 at third base last year ranked 28th and 29th in the Majors, respectively. Headley, meanwhile, received respective marks of +13 and +28 in those fields. Both will be tough to repeat, of course, but while Headley's career averages are lower, they're still excellent and would represent a sizable upgrade for manager Terry Francona's squad.
On a highly related note, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes that the Yankees may already be priced out of Headley's market. Sherman hears that the Yankees began the offseason with the hope that Headley could be had on a two-year deal. While that was unlikely to ever be the case, Headley's stock rose even higher this week when one team signed both of his primary free agent competitors as the Red Sox landed Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez. The Yankees, per Sherman, seem unlikely to go beyond three years, and Headley looks headed for a four-year deal, possibly at an even higher rate than the $48MM predicted by Tim Dierkes in early October.
In a second piece, Castrovince takes a speculative look at Headley's market at this point, opining that the Yankees, Indians, Giants, White Sox, Blue Jays and even the Padres could all enter the picture (the latter option, he admits, is unlikely but not inconceivable).]]>
Barnes, 27, has made 22 big league appearances for the Indians over the last two seasons, though he has spent more time pitching for their Triple-A affiliate. This past season, Barnes pitched to a 3.69 ERA with 9.9 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 in 24 relief appearances and one start.
As the MLBTR DFA Tracker shows, there are now 16 players in DFA limbo.]]>
Brewer, 27 next season, had a brief cup of coffee with the Diamondbacks in 2013. Over a six season minor league career, he's posted a 4.09 ERA, 7.8 K/9, and 2.4 BB/9. The righty has a 90 mph fastball. Prospect maven John Sickels of SB Nation wrote in 2012: "he has a short window of opportunity to establish himself but has a shot at becoming a back-end rotation member or a reliever."
The Indians likely view Brewer as a useful depth piece who can help to provide stability at the Triple-A level. Their rotation is currently full, with viable major league starters Zach McAllister and Josh Tomlin penciled in as sixth and seventh on the depth chart. Brewer has worked almost exclusively as a starter, but his best chance at reaching the majors may be as a reliever.]]>
We'll keep tabs on the day's 40-man additions here, and you can also check Baseball America's running updates, which includes breakdowns of the players added.
Earlier Updates
Here's the latest from the American League:
Rosenthal lists names like B.J. Upton ($46.35MM through 2017), Ubaldo Jimenez ($38.75MM through 2017) and Ryan Howard ($60MM through 2016) as examples of other inflated contracts while being careful to note that the Indians aren't necessarily interested in anyone from that grouping. Other players on bloated contracts include Edwin Jackson ($22MM through 2016), John Danks ($28.5MM through 2016), Cody Ross ($10.5MM through 2015) and Ricky Nolasco ($37MM through 2017), to say nothing of Dodgers outfielders Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier (though that duo is a particularly difficult fit in Cleveland).
Swisher, signed to a four-year, $56MM contract heading into the 2013 season, played well in his inaugural campaign in his home state of Ohio, hitting .246/.321/.423 with 22 homers. However, his offense fell off a cliff in 2014, as he batted just .208/.278/.331 while his strikeout rate soared to a career-worst 27.7 percent and his walk rate dropped to a career-worst nine percent.
As I explained in my Indians Offseason Outlook, Cleveland has a bit of financial flexibility heading into 2015, but that flexibility will be gone by 2016 due to arbitration raises to Corey Kluber, Cody Allen and Carlos Carrasco as well as contractual salary increases to the likes of Jason Kipnis, Yan Gomes, Carlos Santana and Michael Brantley. Moving Swisher or Michael Bourn, who is owed $27.5MM over the next two seasons and has also declined, would alleviate that pressure and give the Indians a much more favorable long-term outlook. One option could be to pay a large chunk of Swisher's 2015 salary, when the team has more payroll flexibility, while only absorbing a small chunk of his 2016 salary (or do the same with Bourn). By doing so, they could still eat around half of his remaining salary but create more 2016 flexibility to accommodate an increasingly expensive core.]]>
Here's more out of the American League:
More from Hoynes and more from the AL Central…
Araujo, 23, has struggled with control at times in his minor league career, including over his 21 Double-A frames, over which he walked 15 batters. But he did miss bats, posting a career-high 9.0 K/9 at both the High-A and Double-A level last season.
The southpaw nevertheless drew enough interest to warrant a major league pact, as Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com tweets. It could be that his time this winter in his home country turned some heads. As the Phillies note in their release, Araujo has struck out eight and given up just three hits in seven frames thus far.]]>
Kershaw was a unanimous winner, with Johnny Cueto and Adam Wainwright finishing second and third, respectively. Madison Bumgarner finished in fourth place (obligatory caveat: votes were due before the postseason commenced), while Jordan Zimmermann, Cole Hamels, Zack Greinke, Doug Fister, Jake Arrieta, Craig Kimbrel, Stephen Strasburg and Henderson Alvarez rounded out the ballot. The award marks Kershaw's third Cy Young in four seasons.
Kluber, a breakout star with the Indians, edged out Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, who finished second. Kluber received a total of 169 points in the voting, while Hernandez received 159. Rounding out the ballot were Chris Sale, Jon Lester, Max Scherzer, David Price, Phil Hughes, Wade Davis and Greg Holland. Kluber posted an 18-9 record with a 2.44 ERA, 10.3 K/9, 1.9 BB/9 and a 48 percent ground-ball rate in 235 2/3 innings.]]>
Francona's previous four-year contract with the Indians ran through the 2016 season, but the Indians will now have as many as four additional years of control should they choose. Francona just wrapped up his second year as Cleveland's skipper, and in his two years on the job he'd led the team to 92 wins and a Wild Card playoff berth in 2013 as well as a solid 85-win campaign in 2014.
Best known for his role as Boston's manager during their curse-ending World Series run in 2004 and their follow-up World Series victory in 2007, Francona has spent a total of 14 years as a big league manager. In that time, he's posted a 1206-1062 record and taken home AL Manager of the Year honors. Somewhat surprisingly, his first Manager of the Year Award didn't come until 2013 — his first with Cleveland.
Francona is regarded by executives, coaching peers and players as one of the most respected managers in the game. He's the type of established and admired skipper that is an asset in luring free agents to come to a team. "You don't bring a guy like this over here if you don't plan on winning," Nick Swisher said to reporters at the press conference to announce his signing.

Gimenez, 32 in December, batted .241/.313/.328 in 116 plate appearances for the Rangers and Indians this season. The journeyman backstop has seen Major League action with Texas, Cleveland, Tampa and Seattle in parts of six seasons at the big league level, totaling a .210/.297/.302 batting line. He'll have the option to hit the open market and should draw interest from teams in need of catching depth, especially given this year's thin crop of free agent catchers.
Cloyd, 27, spent the year in the rotation at Triple-A Columbus after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies around this time last year. He pitched to a 3.89 ERA with 6.4 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 166 2/3 innings in his first year with the Cleveland organization.]]>
Shuck, 27, posted a solid season with the bat in 2013 with the Angels but struggled to repeat those numbers in 2014. After hitting .293/.331/.366 last year, he mustered just a .145/.168/.209 batting line between the Angels and Indians this year. Defensive metrics were very high on Shuck this season, though they saw his work in the outfield corners as average to below average overall in 2013.
In parts of four seasons at the Triple-A level, Shuck is a .302/.381/.384 hitter. He'll provide the White Sox with some lefty-hitting depth in the outfield — an area in which the team is currently thin.]]>
Here's more on the Indians from Hoynes:
Aviles, 34 in March, has served as a versatile bench piece for manager Terry Francona over the past two seasons, appearing at shortstop, second base, third base and in all three outfield positions. Since coming over in a trade from the Blue Jays, he's posted a combined .250/.277/.356 batting line. He will return to a bench role in Cleveland where he'll presumably be joined by Ryan Raburn and catcher Roberto Perez, among others. He should provide the organization with some depth at third base and shortstop, neither of which is 100 percent settled at this point due to question marks surrounding Lonnie Chisenhall and the inexperience of shortstop Jose Ramirez.]]>
In other news involving the Rays and the American League:
Sellers spent most of the 2014 season with Triple-A Columbus, hitting .254/.307/.355. The 28-year-old has hit sparingly in parts of four seasons with the Dodgers and Indians, but he can play second and third as well as shortstop and he has a strong defensive reputation. He will be on the Pirates' 40-man roster.
Axford and Gomez were both non-tender candidates, so it's no surprise that the Bucs would designate them for assignment. Axford, a former closer, would have received a small raise on this year's $4.5MM salary, even though he had a walk-heavy 2014 season in which the Indians let him head to the Pirates via waivers. Gomez served as a long reliever for the Pirates in 2014 and posted a 3.19 ERA, but with an underwhelming 5.5 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9.]]>

Contract Options
Free Agents
From a non-player standpoint, there figures to be little change within the Indians organization. Former GM Mark Shapiro, now the team president, will again entrust GM Chris Antonetti with structuring a contending club despite limited payroll flexibility. Manager Terry Francona and the coaching staff all seem likely to return as well.
The payroll figures to again be Cleveland's biggest obstacle, as long-term commitments to Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn went south this season. Each player battled injuries and struggled at the plate, making their respective $15MM and $13.5MM salaries look questionable on a team otherwise loaded with many bargains. Also worth noting were the sub-par contributions of David Murphy in his first year with the Indians; his $6.5MM salary in 2015 a year after hitting just .262/.319/.385 and checking in below replacement level further clouds the outfield picture.
With $55MM already committed to the next year's payroll and possibly another $10MM or so in arb salaries (plus the league-minimum players to fill out the roster), the Tribe could be looking at about $70MM in commitments before making a single decision.
Cleveland finished last in all of Major League Baseball with about 1.437MM fans drawn this season, so it seems unlikely that the team's payroll will rise significantly from the $80-84MM range that has been set in 2013-14. That will leave Antonetti with somewhere between $10-15MM to augment a roster of affordable contracts.
The Indians can trot out a rotation fronted by Cy Young candidate Corey Kluber and followed by breakout 27-year-old Carlos Carrasco. Beyond that pairing, the team can look for another step forward from former top prospect Trevor Bauer and a better overall effort from the hard-throwing Danny Salazar. Josh Tomlin, Zach McAllister and T.J. House represent options in the fifth slot, and House was particularly impressive in 2014, posting a 3.35 ERA with 7.1 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 in 102 innings. Starting pitching, therefore, doesn't need to be a major focus for Cleveland this winter, though it wouldn't be surprising to see some veteran arms added on minor league deals just for depth purposes.
Cleveland's affordable talent isn't confined to the pitching staff, however. Standout catcher Yan Gomes will earn just $1MM next season in the first year of a six-year, $23MM contract extension. Carlos Santana and his relatively modest $6MM salary will man first base, with Jason Kipnis and his $4MM salary handling the keystone. Jose Ramirez's excellent glove will likely open the season at shortstop, with top prospect Francisco Lindor perhaps pushing for a call-up midseason. And of course, MVP candidate Michael Brantley will be looking to replicate his breakout in left field while earning $5MM.
Meanwhile, in the bullpen, Cody Allen looks like a formidable ninth-inning weapon, and he's yet to reach arbitration. He can be joined in the late innings by Bryan Shaw, Scott Atchison, Marc Rzepczynski and Kyle Crockett — each of whom posted a sub-3.00 ERA in at least 30 innings of work. Nick Hagadone joins Crockett and Rzepczynski as a left-handed option. Perhaps best of all, none from this group projects to earn more than $1MM, save for Rzepczynski.
Those cost-controlled players are critical for the Indians. While the Swisher and Bourn commitments don't prevent them from adding another sizable salary or multiple lower to mid-range salaries in 2015, those large contracts do throw a wrench into their offseason approach. Cleveland already has $51MM committed to the 2016 roster — a season in which Kluber and Allen will become arbitration eligible for the first time. Each figures to see a significant hike in salary should his current success continue. Carrasco will be eligible for the second time that year, and if he can come close to replicating this season's second-half breakout — something Cleveland desperately needs in order to contend — his arbitration raise will also be very steep. Shaw, Rzepcznski, Chisenhall and others will be due further raises heading into 2016.
Essentially, the Indians are looking at the same guaranteed contract structure they face in 2015, but with an arb class that is potentially twice as costly. So, while they may have $10-15MM to comfortably add to the 2015 payroll, they can't afford to make long-term commitments beyond the upcoming season without either increasing that payroll significantly or moving some salary. For example, a name like Chase Headley looks appealing as an alternative to Lonnie Chisenhall, who hit just .225/.295/.318 after June 30 and is a very poor defender, but Headley would likely send the 2016 payroll well beyond $85MM (assuming Tim Dierkes' four-year, $48MM contract projection is correct or close to it).
The team's financial situation makes one-year commitments the most likely for a significant addition, but the free agent market lacks an obvious one-year candidate at third, which is a position of need. The other logical place to upgrade would be in right field or possibly at DH. In those areas, Colby Rasmus could prove an upgrade over Murphy, with Swisher sliding into a primary DH role. The Indians could also buy low on a name like Corey Hart of Kendrys Morales on a one-year deal to serve as the DH, with the hope that Swisher and/or Murphy rebounds enough to handle right field full-time. It wouldn't take much, after all, to upgrade on the .188/.254/.311 batting line posted by Cleveland DHs in 2014.
Another option for the Indians would be to pursue an upgrade on the trade market. Juan Uribe and Casey McGehee are two short-term options that could make some sense if their respective teams are interested in making a long-term upgrade at the hot corner. There are a number of right fielders that would fit the bill as well, including Jason Heyward, Justin Upton (though the Indians were on his initial no-trade list), Shane Victorino and Gerardo Parra. Cleveland showed interest in Victorino as a free agent two years ago and could have interest again, particularly if Boston is willing to eat some of his salary.
Of course, pursuit of a name like Heyward would present the question of whether or not Cleveland wants to compromise some of its long-term outlook for an improved chance at immediate contention. The Indians do have a strong group of minor league outfielders headlined by Clint Frazier and also including Tyler Naquin, James Ramsey and Bradley Zimmer — each a first-round pick within the past three years. Some fans would likely make the case that a team with long-term payroll constraints should be resistant to trading controllable/league-minimum talent for a one-year upgrade, but being within striking distance of a postseason berth is an oft-fleeting position. The team could consider this its best shot at a division title with the Royals potentially losing James Shields and the Tigers potentially losing Max Scherzer and Victor Martinez, so the argument in favor of a win-now move could certainly be made.
Perhaps the most appealing approach for the front office will simply to be to add a bullpen piece and search for minor upgrades and platoon partners for some of the 2014 regulars that struggled. While they won't play for top-of-the-market names like David Robertson and Andrew Miller, a number of second-tier options such as Pat Neshek, Jason Grilli, Sergio Romo or Joba Chamberlain would add a veteran presence and deepen the relief corps.
Going that route and experiencing success would also likely require at least one of their faded stars to rebound, which isn't out of the question. Swisher is just one season removed from totaling 2.3 fWAR and 3.8 rWAR, so a rebound isn't out of the question. Bourn, too, was somewhat productive in 2013, though to a lesser extent.
The Indians could try to dump one or both players, though that's no easy feat to accomplish. Still, should the Indians eat the majority of one of their 2015 salaries in order to save $8-10MM in 2016, a long-term commitment for a new addition would certainly be easier to structure.
In the end, barring an unexpected payroll boost for the 2016 season, the team's 2015 maneuverability is limited. The team will have to determine whether it's worth compromising its enviable reservoir of outfield prospects in order to make a short-term upgrade, or if the better option is to make minor upgrades where possible and bank on a resurgence among a group of underperforming veterans. For all the ink I've dedicated to Bourn and Swisher, the most sorely needed rebound may be one from Kipnis, who slumped to a .240/.310/.330 line after posting elite numbers in 2013.]]>

Hey everyone, I am currently bulking, and I keep reading around here that working out your obliques gives you a wider waist. Now my question is can somebody post up a picture of somebody who works out their obliques (resulting in wider waist) vs someone who does not work on their obliques? I can't decide if I should stop training them or not. I mean I want them to show, but I do not want to start looking wide and boxy. I am not much of a fan of having a HUGE lat spread, so I mean that's definitely not one of the reasons for me to take into consideration.
Thanks guys
