Rangers, D-Backs involved as market for Shin-Soo Choo reaches "critical stage"
Dec 9, 2013, 7:17 PM EST
With Robinson Cano and Jacoby Ellsbury off the board, Shin-Soo Choo is the biggest name remaining in the free agent market. And it sounds like he could find a new home during this week's Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida:
Many have speculated that the Tigers could also be involved, though that's not confirmed.
David Murphy recently signed a two-year deal with the Indians while Craig Gentry was dealt to the Athletics, so the Rangers have some big questions in left field. Michael Choice, who was acquired in the Gentry deal is one option, though it's unlikely they'll go that way. Choo would obviously address that need quite nicely, though it will take around $100 million to make it happen.
On a related note, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels confirmed to Jeff Wilson of the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram that he met with the agent for Nelson Cruz today. However, he added that the team has likely already made their big offseason splash with the Prince Fielder deal. Sounds exactly like someone who could have something big cooking.
UPDATE: Rosenthal reports that the Diamondbacks are also in on Choo and remain "active on multiple fronts."

$100 mill is a lot of scratch for an average defensive player.
- anxovies - Dec 9, 2013 at 7:37 PM
He has one of the better RF arms in baseball.
- thomas844 - Dec 9, 2013 at 8:04 PM
He was in CF in Cincy which was something he had never done regularly before. Though by no means was he great, he held his own. Once he moves back to RF, let's just say not many runners will be trying to go first to third on him.

100 million is a lot of scratch for anybody!
- detectivejimmymcnulty - Dec 9, 2013 at 7:48 PM
Except the owner writing the check(s).
- detectivejimmymcnulty - Dec 9, 2013 at 7:47 PM
I'd rather pay Choo $100 million+ than Ellsbury. Choo's strengths seem like they won't fade as he ages. I would rather not give either player $100 million though.

as a reds fan I have to ask does he get a bonus for hitting left handed pitching? good player but not a hundred million good. let's hope the reds gm is as good at drafting players as he is signing ex-cards to play for his team.
- stephenolszewski - Dec 9, 2013 at 8:15 PM
If Texas plays him in RF they may have the best off season but obviously it's early

An unexpected visit
Studying European history one summer when I was in college, I had the privilege to participate in a seminar group. One morning, our agenda included a visit to a rather ordinary watch shop, small and ancient with creaky floors and narrow winding stairs. I had no idea who we were visiting, nor the significance of this old house, brimming with stories.
At one landing, a living room was situated, illuminated by a large bay window on the street side and decorated with well-worn old furniture. Over by the window sat an old woman, her silver hair braided into ring around the top of her head, like one of my great aunts used to wear. I stood in the back of the room, and literally, this ancient woman radiated with joy and love. I was captivated. And although that was decades ago, I still remember distinctly what she said to this group of college-age students. I was still a teenager.
"You, all of you are so young. Don't wait until you are old like me to be used by God," she said in heavily-accented English.
I had just met Corrie Ten Boom.
That summer, I read her own incredible story in The Hiding Place, and thereafter, about every year or so. It is that good.
This chronicle of faithfulness will take your breath away. Don't just put it on a list to read when you get around to it. Put it in your hands, just one chapter a day.
"Childhood scenes rushed back at me out of the night, strangely close and urgent. Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do."
--Corrie Ten Boom
The Hiding Place
page 15
God redeems the past into the future.
God transforms the ordinary
into the extraordinary.
God equips in incredible ways
to be used mightily by Him.
As for you,
you meant evil against me,
but God meant it
for good,
to bring it about
that many people
should be kept alive,
as they are today.
Genesis 50.20

Not easily forgotten
I'm majoring in the basics this week, caring for my bedridden daughter and her family, helping them to keep their heads above water as they navigate through a tough situation. As one of our other daughters jests about this season of life, "A successful day is when the children are fed and you even get a shower."
Yesterday, I took fifteen-month old Adrian to his doctor for a checkup and his vaccination shots. Afterwards, we maneuvered through the grocery store, dangerously without a list. On the way home, he was a bit cranky from the shots and the lack of a nap. I began to sing children's songs out loud to soothe him. As I sang "Jesus loves me" over and over, he calmed down and settled into a deep sleep, comforted and secure.
And the words of that song from my childhood so very long ago spoke to Adrian, but I was impacted as well as I drove and sang even after Adrian fell asleep. It is not just a children's song, but that which is not easily forgotten. Jesus loves me too. That is what the Bible is all about, a scarlet thread that runs from the first page to the last.
And that truth made a significant difference in my day.
That truth has made a significant difference in my life.
Jesus loves me, this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong.
They are weak,
but He is strong.
To Him who loves us...
Revelation 1.5

Through the eyes of a toddler
Adrian is now fifteen months old, curious and exploring. Anything and everything attracts his attention. Our daughter says that he plays with everything except his toys. Indeed, he has carried around a small shoe box for days, stopping every few minutes to put something in it, and a few minutes later, take everything out.
He is learning through everything he examines or plays with. That is what a toddler does.
He learns in all he does.
May we be aware of the same.
What can I learn in this situation,
in this work,
in this relationship today?
What is God teaching me
to be more like Him?
The LORD is merciful
and gracious,
slow to anger
and abounding
in steadfast love.
Psalm 103.8
Monday, May 12, 2014
Being bold
God calls us to be different,
not in a weird sort of way,
but bold in loving Him
by being bold in loving others,
and kind.
It is not just being responsive
to obvious need,
but seeking out opportunities.
How can I love others today?
LORD, give me a heart
to know how.
Even now.
Even here.
Even that person.
Love them back.
Let the redeemed of the LORD
say so.
Psalm 107.2
Let the redeemed of the LORD
reveal so.
What does being redeemed look like?
Not just being nice,
but loving boldly.
Because you can.
A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another;
even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
By this
all men will know
that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
John 13. 34-35

Unexpected finds on the side of the road
I have learned as I drive through wooded areas to keep my eyes alert to all that is around me. The trees often form an arch over the roadway, and particularly this time of year, it appears as if I am driving through a cathedral. And the other day, I saw a mama black bear and her two cubs meandering alongside the road, off in the trees, eating their way through the forest.
The unexpected appeared on my path this week also in another way. One of our daughters is 24 weeks pregnant, and as of last week, she is confined to bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy. I am now in Nashville, helping her out, keeping our fourteen-month-old grandson out of trouble.
And so, God places something else on my radar, not what I expected, but in His purposes. And in this too, He will redeem and fulfill in unexpected ways.
It may have been a change in my plans,
but not in His.
Eyes open,
hands ready,
heart on the alert.
God delights in providing the unexpected
and redeeming impossible situations.
And sometimes,
He uses you to do it.
What has God put on YOUR radar,
who has He put on your path?
...do whatever your hand finds to do,
for God is with you.
1 Samual 10.7
He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land
into springs of water.
Psalm 107.35

November 27, 2014
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) -- University of North Dakota men's hockey coach Dave Hakstol has been suspended for two games for his actions at Saturday night's game in Minnesota.
Hakstol stuck up his middle finger at referee Don Adam after a discussion about a penalty call during the second period. The Sioux and the Gophers played to a 1-1 tie.
UND says the suspension is for the next two games -- and it's independent of punishment by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
WCHA Commissioner Bruce McLeod says Hakstol's action was unsportsmanlike.
Hakstol says he called Adam after the game to personally apologize. He issued a public statement of apology to fans, players and the WCHA for letting his emotions get the better of him.
His statement adds: "I understand the responsibility that we carry as coaches within the WCHA to young hockey fans and families everywhere. I have evaluated and feel terrible about my actions and can assure everyone that such a thing will never happen again."

After a couple of days of speculations, the contract between Jim Ross and Fox Sports has been finalized and signed. While his official role with the company has yet to be revealed, the long time WWE commentator has posted a new article about the Royal Rumble on their website.
"I honestly don't know. Nobody ever had that discussion with me. So to me, it's interesting. I just go out there and do the best I can. But I think that might have certainly played a part in it. And especially, man, that was awesome, seeing it. So, Titus ONeil, he had texted me. He said, 'Dude, if you're in your hotel room, you have to turn on SportsCenter. I think they'll replay it in probably about 15 minutes.' And he didn't tell me what it was, but he just told me that I was mentioned. And then I saw it, and they mentioned me and the whole Michigan State basketball thing doing the thing, and I was like wow. That's really cool. And the guy that actually started it, he's going to be coming to the show tonight with three of the guys from, I think, three of the guys from the football team. I don't know if that's true, or if it's just three of his buddies. But he is from the football team, so he's going to be coming. It'll be pretty neat to meet him."
- Daniel Bryan
Darren Young and Titus ONeil are down in Miami today, working on that rumored television show for the WWE Network. No word yet on what the show will be about, but the Prime Time Players are wearing suits on the set. There are talks that it could be a sports related show.
Jim Ross has revealed through Twitter that he is extremely close to finalizing a deal with FoxSports.com. The longtime WWE announcer has already started writing for their website, and while no further details have been released about the contract, it is believed that he will have a column online.
JBL is a pretty ambitious individual. The WWE commentator will be attempting to climb Mt Elbrus again in July. He had previous attempted the feat, but severe weather conditions in Russia forced him and his fellow climbers to give up on the trek before they made it to the peak.
In an interesting move, NFL AM had the Bella Twins on the show this morning, and the twin WWE divas discussed the Philadelphia Eagles.
While most wrestling fans know him as Captain Lou Albano, very few know about the origin of the nickname. As a youth, he excelled in sports, where he rose to the ranks of captain of his high school football team. It was there when people started calling him Captain.
Even though he suffered another concussion and is awaiting further tests from a specialist, it appears that Dolph Ziggler will still be working for WWE, as the former World Heavyweight Champion has been booked for an appearance with the Miz at a Cleveland Cavaliers game.
"I have not yet signed with Fox but we are obviously close and are hopeful that we can finalize the contract next week. Fox provides an amazing platform for creative work and for the many projects that I am working on during the most unretired time of my life. Fox has some potentially, amazing creative ideas for me of which I hope that we get to collaborate on sooner than later."
"Everything just went so quiet, it was a sellout, can you imagine that, here I am, wrestling my hero, the champ, and I end up winning the belt, one, two, three, a knee drop of the top, and I say, "where is the belt?" Finally, he raises my hand and he says, go back to the dressing room; you'll get the belt back there. They were afraid of a riot. I didn't pick up on it, but I did notice the people were very, very quiet. You could hear a pin drop, because they couldn't believe that Bruno got defeated after what, seven years? As far as Bruno was concerned, a lot of people don't realize, but those rings up there in New York are the boxing rings, the four ropes and a lot more stable base on the ring and not as much spring on the ring. Consequently us wrestlers, taking big back drops and suplexes on that, it ends up taking a toll on the body a lot more, so I really believe that Bruno needed the time off maybe surgery, maybe just get some rest. You know, I can imagine wrestling nearly every night and the pressure is on you because you're the champion and you have to draw money, so it was the whole idea that Bruno didn't mind the situation that much, because he wanted time off any way."

Back to Breitbart TV
According to Brooks, who is the son of filmmaker Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft, there are similarities to be drawn between the modern American Tea Party movement and the Nazi movement because he says they both cling to ideology.
"You know this has happened before in history," Brooks explained. "In Germany in the 20s and 30s, there was this right-wing reactionary element that was so terrified of anarchy and communism that they said, 'You know what? There's a group of street thugs that are real ideologues and they're willing to take it and they're willing to bloody themselves, and, you know, once they get into power, we can control them.' And that was why they backed it – we can control this."
Conservative talk show Andy Dean argued against Brooks comparison, noting that the left has its share of ideologues and the two went back and forth over whether or not the comparison was a valid one.
Partial transcript as follows:
DEAN: Isn't that a stretch? Nazis versus the Tea Party, who just want smaller government?
BROOKS: What is true is ideologues are always loyal to ideology.
MAHER: And also, I don't know --
DEAN: The Tea Party's ideology isn't to take over Europe. It's for smaller government and less taxes.
BROOKS: But they are still ideologues. They don't want to compromise. He literally –
DEAN: You can call Elizabeth Warren an ideologue. Both sides have ideologues.
BROOKS: When you don't compromise, you're an ideologue.
DEAN: What's that?
BROOKS: When you don't compromise, when you don't reach across the aisle, when you don't participate in the Democratic process.
DEAN: One could argue the opposite. One could argue that's having a strong belief system. And you know Obama's on TV all the time saying, 'Oh you know I'm not going to compromise with Congress. I'm just going to do it myself. Why do you think that's a good thing?

Williamstown House Rental Photos and Description
beautiful rural setting close to everything
The historic Musterfield House was built in 1784 There are six bedrooms and 16 can sleep comforably.. This beautiful 5000+ sq ft home was a stop on the underground railroad. This is an exceptional home for groups from 6-16 The home is comfortably accomadates large groups and .small.
The House Inside: A former guest told me she and her family felt they had rented their own Bed and Breakfast. Providing charm, comfort,and class. You will enjoy if you are a large muti generation family, playing softball in the big yard. or looking to dine elegantly with friends. We have hosted 'girls weekend away', Williams events, family reunions, friends coming to from all over the country to spend time together. The house is great for 6 or 16 its very flexible. Read a book in the library, while noisey kids play a video game.You wont be bothered. They knew how to build a house 227 ago.

The outdoor area has a huge propane grill, a fire pit, everything for dining outside. There is a (12'x4') small swimming pool for children. We have tried to think of everything.
The fun people have had!: I raised my family in the house, it has been so satisfying to know the fun my renters have had there. Once again the house ifs filled with love laughter and good times. I always stop by to be sure all is going smooth. I have been able to share a little of those good times. The history of the house is fascinating. From its role as a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War, to the 200+ babies that were born there.

ARLINGTON — Prince Fielder didn't make the trip to Detroit, opting instead for a visit Thursday with spine specialist Drew Dossett, who will likely recommend a more specific, if not significant, treatment option for the herniated disk in Fielder's neck.The Rangers first baseman missed his fourth straight game on Wednesday since taking an injection to the area last week and said he is mentally preparing for the possibility of going on the disabled list for the first time in his career."I don't have any control over it. It'll be what it'll be," Fielder said after the Rangers' 4-3 victory over Seattle on Wednesday. "We'll just have to take the steps necessary. "My arm is weak and I'm not feeling the way I should."Depending on Dossett's recommendation, it's also possible Fielder will rejoin the team in Detroit, a team spokesman said. Fielder didn't take part in any baseball activities Wednesday, a day after feeling weakness in his left arm while taking cuts in the indoor batting cages.On Tuesday, Fielder wouldn't blame his sagging numbers on the condition.The injury, which ended a string of 547 consecutive games, also puts in jeopardy Fielder's return to Detroit, the town where he played two seasons before being acquired by Texas for Ian Kinsler in the off-season.Fielder averaged 28 home runs and 107 RBIs in 2012-13.The Rangers will also be reunited with Kinsler and closer Joe Nathan, who signed a free-agent contract with the Tigers in the off-season."I'm excited to go there and beat them," manager Ron Washington said when asked if he was eager to see his former players.

- How to Read a Study Record
In this i-SABR (immunotherapy + Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation) trial, the stereotactic radiation to multiple metastatic sites is delivered not only to eradicate sites of bulky progressive disease, but also to provide antigen presentation and immune stimulation which is expected to act synergistically when immediately followed by the non-specific immune stimulation provided by treatment with HD IL-2 and thereby increase the response rate and complete response for metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer patients. Both HD IL-2 and SABR are FDA approved therapeutic cancer treatment
Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Drug: IL-2
Radiation: Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase II Trial of High Dose IL-2 and Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy (SABR) for Patients With Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer (mRCC)
- Response rate [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate the response rate (RR) in patients with mRCC after treatment with HD IL-2 immediately following SABR to multiple metastatic sites. RR has been highly correlated (p<0.0001) to overall survival. RECIST 1.1 criteria will be used to measure RR and it will consist of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate the overall survival (OS), which is defined as the time between date of registration and the date of death due to any cause. In analyzing the OS, it is important to take into account the MSKCC prognostic criteria defined by Motzer et. al. mRCC patients and compare the outcome in the appropriate risk categories
- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate progression free survival (PFS), which is defined as the time between date of registration and the first date of documented disease progression or date of death due to any cause.
- Time to progression [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate time to progression (TTP), which is defined as time between date of registration and date of documented progression
- Median response duration [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate median response duration, which is defined as the time between the date a response (CR or PR) was first seen until date of progression
- Local control rate [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate the local control rate of irradiated lesions
- Tumor-specific immune response [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To measure treatment-related tumor-specific immune response
- Toxicity [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]To evaluate the tolerability and toxicity of this regiment as measured according to CTCAE v4.0.
- Health-related quality of life (HRQoL). [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To measure the improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL)

Watching the sun set here, with the amazing 360 degree view over LA, is a must when you're here. The hotel is a rival to celebrities' favourite LA haunts, Chateau Marmont and the Sunset Marquis, and is a quirky and stylish, featuring just 80 decadently bohemian bedrooms and a lush garden that is five stories up! Favourite room has to be the so-called master's quarters, which comes with its own private butler, who the hotel dubs the "Liaison to Happiness". If you want a culture fix, there's an impressive art collection too, including an original Miro. Rooms cost from $180 per night so it's not break-the-bank expensive.

Kaveesha was born in a Jewish family, and she must be aware of one of the great Jewish thinkers of this century, Martin Buber. His most famous book, for which he received the Nobel Prize, is I And Thou. His whole philosophy is that people need a deep dialogue between I and thou.
He has written very logically and very rationally - he was one of the geniuses of this century - but his whole philosophy is wrong. He thinks the dialogue happens between I and thou. And I say unto you, the dialogue happens only when there is no I and no thou.
It is a very strange dialogue, of course, because we are accustomed only to a dialogue between two persons; and I am saying that when two persons disappear into one, only then there is dialogue, a heart-to-heart communion.
Martin Buber is dead; otherwise I would have traveled to Israel - he was very old - just to tell him, "There is still time for you; drop this idea of I and thou. Let there remain only the dialogue."
With Kaveesha there has been only a dialogue. And it is not that only now she has become aware of it; she has also been aware of it, but she wanted the seal of my authority on it - because one never knows whether one is dreaming or seeing the reality, whether one is imagining, or really the revolution has happened. Her question is just for her to become clear about it, so nothing remains clouded.
Yes, Kaveesha, this is the truth. Neither yours nor mine; just the truth.
You are saying, "Beloved Osho, I am not separate from you. There is no you - there is no me. This feels so awesome to say - even more awesome to live."
It is such a great mystery to live that it is natural it will look very awesome - it is so overwhelming. But slowly, slowly, everything else becomes unreal and false before this simple reality - that there is no I and there is no thou.
It has happened between me and you, and soon you will see that it is happening between you and everyone else. This is only the beginning. It will be complete only when there is no I and no thou anywhere, when you are merged and melted into the ocean of the whole.
You have entered the door of the temple, and now there is no way of turning back. Just accept it as a gift of the divine in total humbleness and simplicity of the heart; otherwise it can become a heavy burden. The experience is too big, and we are so small.
It is almost as if the ocean has dropped into the dewdrop - just think of the poor dewdrop! When the dewdrop falls into the ocean, it is simpler; but once in a while the ocean also drops into the dewdrop - then it is tremendously awesome and overwhelming. But to whomsoever it happens, he is blessed, immensely blessed.
Just take it with deep relaxation, and with a humble heart, and soon it will become your natural way of life. Looking at the trees, or at the stars, you will find the same dialogue.

Friday Five: The Songs of Boudleaux Bryant
Tomorrow would have been Boudleaux Bryant's 90th birthday. There are few songwriters who've been as important to music as Bryant. He and wife Felice are responsible for "Wake Up, Little Susie," "Bird Dog," "Brand New Heartache," "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma," and quite a few other classics. Below are some of my favorite renditions of songs that Boudleaux had a hand in writing. This very easily could have been the Friday Fifty, but there was no way I could narrow it down to only five.
- 9. "Sleepless Nights" – Patty Loveless
Loveless named her 2008 covers album after this heartbreaking tune. It was originally recorded by the Everly Brothers, but Patty and Vince Gill's version is just fine.
- 8. "(I Got) A Hole In My Pocket" – "Little" Jimmy Dickens
The Bryants got their foot in the country music door when Dickens recorded "Country Boy" in 1949. "Country Boy" was a Top 10 hit, but I like this wild rockabilly song from 1958. It failed to chart.
- 7. "Bye Bye Love" – Ray Charles
This Everly Brothers tune kicked off Charles' seminal album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. The excellent big band horn arrangement on the song is courtesy of Gerald Wilson, who's still arranging and conducting at 91 years old. Follow-up album Modern Sounds, Vol. 2 features the song "Midnight," written by Bryant and Chet Atkins.
- 6. "How's The World Treating You" – The Louvin Brothers
Here's another one Bryant wrote with Chet Atkins. In addition to Charlie and Ira, there are some good versions of this song from Eddy Arnold (his went to #4), Elvis Presley, and, of course, Alison Krauss and James Taylor, who teamed up for an unforgettable duet on Livin', Lovin', Losin': The Songs of the Louvin Brothers.
- 5. "Hey Joe!" – Carl Smith
Boudleaux wrote this one all by his lonesome, and Smith topped the charts with it for eight weeks in 1953. Kitty Wells recorded a sequel from Joe's girl's point of view; her song, also called "Hey Joe," is worth a listen too.
- 4. "Change of Heart" – Teddy Thompson
Another Bryant/Atkins classic. Kitty Wells' 1957 version is good, but Thompson's, released 50 years later (on underrated gem Upfront and Down Low) is beautiful. Of course, he's got good music in his genes.
- 3. "Rocky Top" – Osborne Brothers
Everyone loves Rocky Top, the magical land without smoggy smoke or telephone bills. Everyone, that is, but the revenuers.
- 2. "All I Have to Do Is Dream" – The Everly Brothers
Babyfaced brothers Phil and Don are cute as a basket full of fuzzy bunnies on this 1958 tune that simultaneously topped the Billboard Pop, Country, and R&B charts. Brother duos have rarely sounded better.
- 1. "Love Hurts" – Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris
You cannot go wrong with a song like "Love Hurts." Unless you're Nazareth, in which case, shame on you. "Love Hurts" was originally recorded by (surprise!) the Everlys, but Gram's and Emmylou's version kills me. Love can't be so bad if it sounds so dang good.
15 Comments
I actually just 'googled' who orgininally recorded 'Love Hurts' a couple days ago and found Roy Orbison did the orgininal. It could have been a wrong source but I just wanted to point it out and the timing that I've been diggin this song recently and now this list appears.
I was disturbed to see a version of Sleepless Nights by anyone other than Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris until I saw your choice for No. 1.
If you wanted to make it an even 10, I'd have added Buddy Holly's version of Raining in My Heart.
Highwayman, I think Roy Orbison was the first to release it as a single, but Richie Unterberger writes that the first version was on A Date with the Everly Brothers in the liner notes of the reissued album: http://www.richieunterberger.com/everlydate.html
Great songwriter and the Everly Brothers are one of my all time favorite duos. I still have my Cadence 45's. Love the AK-JT duet and I agree with Ollie on adding Buddy Holly's version of Raining in My Heart. I also have it by Anne Murray and Leo Sayer.
What an amazing songwriter Boudleaux was, and Felice's contributions didn't hurt either. Nashville could sure use some songwriting talent of that caliber these sorry days of AirHead pop-rock schlock country music. Of course even if such a songwriter did exist in Nashville these days their songs would be of too high of quality to appeal to fans of Contemporary/Young Country Radio anyhow…
He didn't write "If God Made Oklahoma", it was written by sandy Pinkard & Larry Collins. They used the tune of "Rockytop" and that's how Boudleaux" and got on there. The song was written about Becky Hobbs.
…watched the Teddy Thompson video from the Letterman Show and have to appreciate them booking an artist with that traditional of a bent….now i am off to itunes to check out more of him….so much good real country music out there but it's never on the radio…..it takes sites like this to find it…that's why i read the daily updates here everyday…thanks 9513!!!
I don't have thee record t look at, but I'm about 95% certain the The Bryants did not write "You're The Reason God MAde Oklahoma." As I recall, it was co-written by Larry Collins ("Delta Dawn") but the rest escapes me. Can someone check?
@Roger, aside from the referenced album, I'm not familiar with Teddy Thompson's work, but I believe it's his only country project so far.
Yep, but it sure is good. If you're into the singer-songwriter thing, check out Thompson's Separate Ways (the hidden track is the Bryants' "Take a Message to Mary"). His most recent album, A Piece of What You Need is more indie poppish, but still pretty good.
A little poking around shows that NHunter's correct; Collins and Pinkard wrote "You're The Reason," and the Bryants' names were added after allegations (and perhaps litigation) related to the use of the melody of "Rocky Top." "Co-writing" doesn't quite capture the essence of that, I don't think ;-).
And by the way, while this list isn't a bad one, it's an awfully easy one, overlooking some of Bryant's bestest, like "We Could," or "Take Me As I Am," or the songs on the terribly under-appreciated, must-have Osborne Brothers' all-Bryant collection, Rocky Top To Muddy Bottom – like, for instance, "Don't Ever Tell Me You Love Me" or "Just Another Dream I'll Have To Learn To Live WIthout." And while I know it's heretical to say so around here, the Parsons version of "Love Hurts" is pretty lame when compared to many other versions by, for instance, the Everlys, or the Osbornes, or, more recently, the fabulous Sally Jones, who made it the title track of her first Pinecastle release.
And lastly, let me just point out that the version of "Rocky Top" pointed to by the list is, while fine, a mid-70s remake of a 1967 recording; you can find the original here: http://www.amazon.com/Rocky-Top/dp/B000VZMR8C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1266173821&sr=8-3 .
Also, if you're taking the time to explore Teddy Thompson's work, please check out his eponomous debut CD, whose hidden track is a duet with Emmylou Harris on the Everly Brothers' song, "I Wonder If I Care As Much," which wasn't written by the Bryants, but it sounds as though Don could have been heavily influenced by them when he composed this song.
Now why did I think that Gram Parsons himself wrote love hurts?
And can you do one of these features (or any kind of feature) on Bill and Mary Sharon Rice?

Restaurants on the Go/Order It.ca - BEWARE!! [moved from Ontario board]
- f
- FlavoursGal Dec 18, 2006 12:54 AM
I placed an online order with orderit.ca (Restaurants on the Go) restaurant delivery service this evening, for the first time in a couple of years. The ordering was easy, check-out fine, and the food (from The Host Restaurant) came within the alotted time.
When I asked the driver for the Visa slip so that I could add a tip, he replied that a tip had already been charged, and he raced away in a big hurry.
Imagine my surprise when I looked at the bill and discovered that a tip in the amount of $11.50 had been added to my bill (this, on top of the $6.95 delivery charge), which totalled $108 before delivery, tax and tip. I normally tip about $4 to delivery people.
I called Restaurants on the Go, and was informed that this amount did appear on my invoice when ordering, and that I did have the option of changing it at that time. Forgive me for not checking this - aside from checking that my order was correct, verifying my address, submitting my Visa information, it did not dawn on me to check the "tip" space. Although, in retrospect, the total amount after taxes did seem high.
To add insult to injury, I was told by the operator when I called back that this "tip" is added only when orders are placed online, and that orders placed by phone are not charged a tip.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've left a message with the accountant at the delivery service, requesting a partial refund on the tip. We'll see if anything comes of it.
If you feel that the site did not adequately disclose the fact that the tip would be added automatically, you can dispute the total with the credit card company.
I suggest you go back to the website and take screenshots of the order and invoice pages to document the lack of adequate disclosure.
I am pleased to report that ROTG has credited my Visa account about one-half of the tip it had applied.
Still...buyer beware!
That's very strange- I've used them lots for business situations, and never run across that. Although now that I think of it, we usually order over the phone.
What I do find frustrating is that menus seem to change frequently and without warning, so after a lengthy round of sorting out everyone's order, I often have to hang up and take peoples' orders a second time to replace the no-longer-available items.
I also find it takes a very long time for food to arrive- between that and the high prices, I'd rather get take-out. I'm glad to hear it worked for you.
- Lea
I order from Orderit.ca frequently and yes it automatically adds a tip, but you have the option to change it, or set it to nothing if you wish to do so.
Bitching because you didn't confirm the details of your order seems a little odd to me. I for one pay close attention to my check-out page to ensure my order is correct and so forth when ordering from any website, but that's just me. *shrugs*
re: ddelicious
Thanks, d. I was starting to feel like crawling under my kitchen counter before your post.
You're just about the first person who's responded who hasn't blasted me for not wanting to tip a food delivery driver $11.50, and who hasn't called me an idiot for not scrutinizing the bill before ordering.
Am I wrong to think that a $4 to $5 tip for a delivery person is sufficient?
What do people out there tip drivers anyway?
P.S. A glance at the paper menu for TOTG has a notation that tips are suggested for drivers. There is no mention whatsoever that a tip will be added to an online order.
re: FlavoursGal
I agree with you, and furthermore I don't really get why a business where the whole operation is online delivery charges a separate delivery charge in the first place, that should be something the restaurant pays for using their service. As I said I've been very unimpressed with the whole thing.
ddelicious, the restaurant DOES get charged as well, in addition to the $6.95 the ordering customer pays.
My daughter is a student at McGill, and "A la Carte Express", the restaurant delivery service in Montreal, charges a mere $3.95 for delivery.
Someone in Toronto with a few telephones and computers sure is taking us for a ride.
re: FlavoursGal
Does your daughter like 'A la Carte Express'? I live in Montreal, but have never used the service. There's another company in Montreal similar to 'A la Carte Express' but can't remember their name(their selection of restaurants are different).
Placed my first order from Orderit.ca as I was bored of the standard delivery fare and since I don't drive, ordering take-out is too much of a hassle for me. Anyway I ordered from 1055 Restaurant. Was actually quite intrigued by the Indian/Italian fushion restaurant idea. But I can do a write up on it in the proper topic. This topic is more on Orderit.ca
Being my first time ordering on Orderit.ca, I did not know of what to expect. The ordering was actually quite painless. It provided the details on the dishes I placed which was helpful. There was even additional information in which you could note your preferences for each specific order which I found very helpful. However whether or not your request is followed is another question. I had requested no green mango to be added to my Smoke Chicken Risotto but it showed up.
The food arrived within an hour which I felt was abit too long, however I discounted it on the fact that this was not your standard quick and fast delivery fare. I did ask the driver who gave some lame excuse saying she would had arrvied 15-20 mins earlier if she knew the area better, but I just shrugged it off. The food nice and warm but wasn't sure if it was due to the fact I had it kept warm in the microwave and oven for my friends to arrive.
It was only after ordering from Orderit.ca did I check out Chowhound for its review on the service and I realised I was charged $10.50 for tips. Guess this is ultimately my fault for not being detailed oriented. Would be more careful the next time.
All in all I would try the service again as I like having restaurant quality food at the comfort of my home. However I now know what to look out for and will definitely be aware of them.
Wil keep you guys and gals posted.
1) Thanks for mentioning the site
2) Thanks for warning us about the somewhat visible (I checked the site) tip. The only reason it's visible is because it's in a drop-down box. Otherwise, if you are in a hurry and the kids and husband/wife are running around in circles chewing on pillows and shouting "I'm hungry! I'm hungry!", it's easy enough to miss. A nice site would give you a clearly defined new page or pop-up question about adding a tip to the bill when you went to submit your order.
When everything is working well, Orderit is great. Albeit they tuck the tip away in a secluded spot as you mentioned here.
I do have to say that when there are any issues with your order - ie, missing or incorrect items, late delivery etc - their customer service is appalling. I have used them often but, at this point, I have had many to many things go wrong with them and would be reticent to recommend them to anyone else.

The Natural Cures Top Docs Believe In
The advice these alternative doctors dish out to their loved ones helps keep them healthy and happy without meds. If you like the idea of natural remedies, listen in.
By Jessica Girdwain
Alternative treatments don't have to be expensive
"Holistic therapies like acupuncture are being covered by insurance more often these days, but if a friend's plan doesn't provide coverage, I tell her to look into community acupuncture centers, which are available in most cities. There, you go in for a private consultation, but get treated in a room with a group of people. This is exactly how it's done in China—and you'll pay as little as $15. Look into Chinese-medicine schools too, which typically run low-cost but very well-established community clinics." —Patricia Fitzgerald, homeopath and founder of the Santa Monica Wellness Center in Santa Monica, CA

text: The pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings with a reported 9-knot wind, clear skies, and no mention of any crosswind gusts. On the right crosswind and downwind legs, the pilot noted light turbulence. After a short approach and a smooth landing, he applied power to achieve rotation speed. However, as the airplane lifted off by only a few feet, it started getting blown left of the center line. Despite full rudder and aileron deflection correction to counter the crosswind, the airplane continued to point across a taxiway. While pointing sideways to the runway, the airplane was traveling at takeoff speed, yet not climbing at a rate that would clear parked aircraft. The pilot decided to abort the takeoff, and subsequently the airplane collided with the tail of a parked helicopter, spun a few degrees clockwise, and came to rest perched on its left wing, which sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.The pilot reported that he had accumulated 3 hours in light sport airplanes, and felt that because of their light weight, they were more susceptible to crosswinds and turbulence than other airplanes he had flown. He also noted that the controls were configured significantly different than any of the other airplanes he had flown. His previous flights in the accident make/model were in calm air, and he felt his time in this make/model was insufficient to instill the reflexive familiarity necessary to control the airplane during takeoff with a strong crosswind.

Right after Russia's successful 'endeavor' into Georgia last August, its leaders attempted to consolidate their geopolitical position with other former Soviet states, with a decent amount of success. Medvedev, Putin, and other Moscow high officials visited Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, mainly solidifying and enhancing prior energy, military strategic deals. In Azerbaijan for instance, Moscow offered to buy all of the gas rich country's energy reserves. These efforts by the Russians threaten to further the energy stranglehold on Europe, which receives about 30% of its gas reserves from Moscow, while increasing Russia's geopolitical clout and position.
However, all is not right with Russia as energy prices are (were?) dropping to dramatic lows and the nation was fighting a geopolitical battle for regional dominance with the US and NATO over Ukraine, Georgia, and the missile defense system in the Czech Republic and Poland. One would think Moscow's latest gas spigot choke off of Ukraine, and therefore Europe, would exemplify Russian strength, and in some ways of course it does, but in reality I believe Russia to be in a weak, or struggling position. NATO's expansion, combined with the Bush administration's continual pressure for Ukraine and Georgian admission, US/EU encroachments into Central Asia and the Caucasus's (weak as these efforts have been), VP Cheney's visit to Azerbaijan and Georgia (with a $1 billion dollar pledge of aid promoted by current VP Biden) and the official signing of missile defense deals with Czech and Poland all have moved the West closer and closer to Russian territory and within what Russia believes is its 'sphere of influence.'
Peter Zeihan of Stratfor agrees, calling the possible loss of Ukraine into NATO and the EU as the 'kiss of death' for Moscow. Zeihan correctly asserts that this strategic loss would transform Russia into a purely defensive power with little ability to project its power outward. It is in this context that we should see Moscow's current gas cutoff efforts, as they seek to reel Ukraine back in and threaten the EU to back off. This type of strategy has major benefits for Moscow, the aforementioned and extra revenues from charging higher and higher prices and transit fees, and very little costs. The EU just does not have that many alternative energy suppliers. The BTC pipeline, which goes through Georgia-Azerbaijan-Turkey, is the only serious pipeline to the EU that does not go through Russian territory. The Trans-Caspian and Nabucco pipelines are also alternatives, but have consistently run up against numerous hurdles that Central Asian energy expert John Daly sees as too high to cross. Daly actually calls the current energy supply situation for Europe a 'high water mark'! So in other words, Moscow does not have to fear its trapped customers from getting free anytime soon.
How do you see Russia's geopolitical situation? Weak? Stable? Strong? What about Europe's gas supply situation? Can they find away out of Moscow's grasp? What about this idea?

Zach Galifianakis has lost so much weight that he has had to strap on a fake beer belly for his part in The Hangover III.
The popular film series will see Zach reprising his role as the oddball of his friendship group, Alan, starring alongside Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha and Ken Jeong in the final episode of the hit comedy.
Seen shooting for some scenes in the film, Zach was more than happy to flash his fake belly for the cameras.
The star revealed on US talk show Live With Kelly last year that his weight slipped off after he stopped drinking, which was a real twist on the films based around the crazy antics that the group of friends encounter thanks to hitting too many boozers.
Earlier this month, the cast were spotting filming a funeral scene in Arizona which doubled for Tijuana, Mexico.
The Hangover III is due for release in May next year.

- Good but few gluten-free optionsOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 7/23/2014This place advertised that they had a lot of healthy, gluten-free options so I chose it to accommodate a friend. However, they were still limited. The food and wine were pretty good but not outstanding, and there were some unique offerings which was nice to see.

- AlmeDined on 6/22/2014The steak we ordered was done perfectly and very tender and tasty. The service was pleasant and prompt. The only downfall was the ambience of the restaurant, the menus were tattered and dirty and our table was positioned under a skylight so very bright for dining until the sun went down. We would recommend this restaurant on the food alone though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful servicestotorotakaVIPDined on 6/6/2014Originally I made a reservation for 6 ppl. 2 hrs before dinner, another 6 ppl wanted to join and I can't find table through open table. We walked to the restaurant and asked for change. The manager was so helpful and let us know that there is still a table for 10 available. The manager was so honest to tell us the table is a bit small and let us decide. We took the table and had dinner there. The server was good and friendly too. The food was a lot better than I expected in hotel. It was a good experience and we had a nice evening on that day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Large portionsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/13/2014Birthday dinner for my husband so good to have kid friendly meals in nice dining environment. Cookies for kids dessert came out of fridge/freezer and taste awful. Chocolate milk was watery. Does offer large portions so we took home most of our adult meals. Health nut salad good but little bland and the added salon ordered to go with it was just okSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingEvM2304VIPDined on 4/26/2014The overall experience at Play Urban was disappointing. The place looks nice and the service is alright, but it started already wrong with the drinks: they were out of mint leaves, so no moijtos. The food was greasy and not very good at all, the fish tacos were definitely not the best in town. Won't go back there...

- My boyfriend and I just stayedKLowDined on 9/12/2013My boyfriend and I just stayed at the White Oaks hotel this past weekend and we went to Play the first night. Menu and food were perfect for the not too heavy meal we were looking for. I had the Fish Tacos (delicious!), he had a Reuben and we shared a flat bread pizza which they were more than accommodating to split 1/2 my choice and 1/2 his. Also our waitress was extremely helpful in answering questions about the area and made recommendations on what to do. She even went and got a map, flyers and a couple wine tour passes too! Thanks again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As always, Play was spot onStuartVIPDined on 8/21/2013As always, Play was spot on tonight, can't say enough great things about our favourite server Jessica.Special Features:
- White OaksOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/6/2013We had a wonderful dinner at Urban Play. The food is casual but we'll priced and of a high quality. We started our meal with fish tacos which were nicely spiced. My husband had the turkey burger which he also enjoyed. We appreciated the healthy food options on the menu. The had two drink specials that we also enjoyed. When our waitress discovered that the wine special was no longer available she offered us an upgraded wine for no additional cost.Special Features:
- Surprised by the FOODUnderarmourDined on 7/3/2013Prior to my arrival at the restaurant, I checked out the menu online and my first impression was that the food was more bar food related, meaning lots of deep fried food. When I actually got my order, I was surprised how healthy and natural my meal was made. I ordered the fish tacos and rather than deep frying the fish, it was steamed and then grilled to give it a more smoked flavour. The salad I had was light and refreshing and was not soaked in dressing. My mother ordered the lime mahi mahi dish and it was served over black rice, cooked perfectly and the fish was grilled with lime and cilantro. After our meal, we did not feel overloaded with grease and fat, which was exactly what we wanted for our dinner. Great healthy selections!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Play Urban Cafechels323Dined on 5/23/2013My friend and I had a wonderful dining experience at Play. Absolutely everything was delicious and the service was knowledgable, attentive and friendly. The price was also very reasonable for the amount of food you were given. I would go back anytime.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We celebrated my boyfriend'sOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/19/2013We celebrated my boyfriend's 50th birthday at Play - and they made it the perfect experience! We were greeted with a glass of champagne on the house to enjoy while we reviewed the menu. Lots of choices for appetizers and main dishes - great variety for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Our server, Anna, was spectacular and the manager came by a few times to make sure everything met our satisfaction. We moved to the lounge for "special" coffees and were surprised by a small dessert prepared by the chef for the special occasion.

- The menu selection is great,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/27/2012The menu selection is great, something for everyone. The food was also very flavorful. The service was the only downfall. Our waitress was often missing in action and the appitizers and lunch took a long time to make it to our table. And the bill never made it to the table, I had to approach the hostess to get that straighten out.Special Features:

- Ok, a little disappointed.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2012Second time visiting Play and having had a great experience the first time, in March, I returned with sister for our birthdays. It was not busy and yet we had to wait a very long time for our lunch with no bread or anything being brought to the table. The food itself was good, apart from the dessert we ordered (the stuffed ice cream cookie) which was frozen so hard that we could not cut the cookie even after 10 minutes at the table. Also, I had this dessert in March and it had white/dark chocolate on it with a side of cream, a white chocolate wafer and a small amount of fresh fruit. This time the cookie had some whipped cream dumped on top and one strawberry and was not nearly as impressive. Not in a rush to return.Special Features:
