Photos and Description of this 7 bedroom holiday villa in Cortona
Villa in Tuscany Italy Cortona luxury rental villas pool air conditioning
This luxury villa, surrounded by a gorgeous and impressive garden, has been recently restored with great care of details and with respect to Tuscan tradition. What a great location! The villa is ideally located close to village and services offering at the same time absolute privacy and quietness. Villages are within walking distance and it lies between Cortona and Camucia. Restaurant at 300 m far. The location is ideal to visit all major Tuscan cities like Siena ( 50 km) Florence 100 km, and other places of beauty like Montepulciano 20 km, Assisi 20 km Todi 40 km, Rome 250 km. The medieval village of Cortona is world famous for the Tuscan Sun festival of music and the truly charming ambient of the main square. Poggio di Cortona is one of our best and most recommended villas. The villa offers complete privacy and tranquillity with bright comfortable, elegant interiors and beautiful grounds. Outside the striking garden has a lovingly manicured lawn and colourful displays of copious varieties of flowers. A beautifully constructed pergola awaits you for dining al fresco. The panoramic pool (5 x 10m - depth 1,20 to 1,75), is about 40 m from the house. From the pool there are tremendous panoramic views of the Cortona valley below stretching as far as lake Trasimeno. Inside elegant furnishings and a high level of comfort are found everywhere including air conditioning and wireless internet connection.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
Guestbook comments from the manager
We stayed in that villa in Cortona for one happy week in the last week of September- We were only two couples: our newly wed daughter and husband, and us, mature
spoiled couple who has been around and we loved it. It was beautiful, inside and out, romantic, authentic, full of charm and 5 stars comfort. very very clean and well
taken care of, well equipped, beautiful landscapes, amazing wide garden full of spices, flowers, trees and well kept lawns . Just the right dosage between the
isolation of a country house and two kilometers from Cortona, an ancient beautiful tourist-trap city or Camucia, a normal modern pleasant italien village, that can be
proud of the best ice crean in ITALY : a small gelateria called primo amore or something like this. The owners are unbelievably nice: PAUL, who owns the near Garden
City, and his daughter Ilaria, all heart and tact. They were very discrete and respected our privacy and were eager to help in every tiny wish. Warmly recommended

Chain items that are addictive as crack
- sheilal Jul 17, 2009 06:04 AM
While I don't dine at chains that frequently, there are some items that I simply can't quit eating once I start. Once I'm done, there's such a feeling of regret (that it's gone) and shame.
Red Lobster - cheddar/garlic biscuits
Red Lobster - Ceasar salad
Macaroni Grill - Rosemary bread
Cheesecake Factory - avocado rolls w/tamarind dipping sauce
Lone Star Steakhouse - fresh, roasted peanuts
Olive Garden - garlic bread
Outback - awesome blossom
Papa Johns - garlic dipping sauce
What are your guilty addictions?
re: Davwud
Wow, that cheesy double beef burrito is one of my favorites too- as are Sonic Frito pies... parallel universe...
re: Davwud
For me, it's the Chilito, Beef Meximelt and Mexican Pizza. Saucing them up is a good idea, they can be dry sometimes.
To me, there's very little better than a simple McDonald's cheeseburger.
re: Fibber McGee
What place still calls a chili Cheese Burrito a Chilito? Taco Bell did this as the word sounded "mexican" enough, but means 'Little Penis" in spanish slang. After a lot of laughter, TB just started calling it the chili cheese burrito.
Let's see. Addictive at chains.
1- Big Mac. I hate lettuce and can't really stand Thousand Island Dressing. But on a Big Mac, I get the attack. TI dressing also goes well on the Reuban.
2- Pancakes at Ihop. Plain with butter and syrup.
3- Mushroom Swiss at Backyard Burgers
4- Southwestern Eggrolls at Chili's.
5-goes with post I'm responding to, I've yet to have a bad mexican pizza.
6- 7 layer burrito at Taco Bell.
7- Cheesecake bites at Sonic.
8- That "bit of honey" taste of chicken tenders at Chik-F_Let...don't think I spelled it right.
9-Shrimp Alfredo at Olive Garden
10- Popeye's Red beans & Rice(Popeyes rules in regards to sides)
re: Shadowcran
They will always be Chilitos to me. :) I do order them as chili cheese burritos, though. To avoid confusion.
re: Shadowcran
yeah dude. the southwestern eggrolls, oh lord. i finally learned how to make them and always havea batch on hand in the freezer, ready to be tossed in the deep fryer...but i still don't know how to make that avocado ranch :(
as for the chik fil a chicken, yes it is soooo good (seriously) but it's not honey you're tasting...it's powdered sugar in the breading. i know it sounds crazy but it's true. look it up!
re: littlew1ng
have you tried any copycat recipe for the avocado ranch dipping sauce? http://www.grouprecipes.com/50939/chi...
Tuscan Chicken Melt from Subway. Not toasted. Hot Chicken. American cheese. Lettuce, tomato, TONS of black olives, spices, and ranch dressing. Damn. Might have to get one right now.
Well, the obvious choice is coffee from Tim Horton's. 2 Cream, 1 sugar. Yum. And, after I have the first iced drink of the summer season, I find myself craving them all the time. Iced Capp from Tim's or Mocha Frappuccino from Starbuck's.
There's a Mexican chain here called Mucho Burrito, and I find myself craving their chicken and corn quesadillas. Oh baby!
re: roro1831
I've never had Popeye's biscuits. What makes them so good?
re: sheilal
I'd say it's the crack but I think it's the salt and butter flava. They are good and not too salty for eating with jam on them.
re: masha bousha
It's the crack too. lol
Butter, lard just so good, and great the next day heated up with jam on them
Oooh ditto on the rosemary bread.
Also for me are:
Outback - cheese fries
Panera - chocolate duo cookie with walnuts
Noodles & Co. - penne rosa with feta and olives
Appetiziers from Outback. Bloomin Shrooms, Tassie Strips, Cheese Fries, and the spicy ranch sauces they give with each. Drool.
Mac and cheese or sweet potato casserole from Boston Market.
I love the zesty onion ring sauce at Burger King. Don't even like their onion rings, but I get the sauce with anything I get there.
Pretty much every breakfast item at Cracker Barrel. Love the apple cider there, too.
re: LostDiner
I tried that onion ring dip not long ago because "zesty cheese" sounded appealing , and I was having a junkfood day. Wayyy too much vinegar, and aside from the coloring, I didn't get much of a cheesy taste.
Tater tots at Sonic.
A double-double at In-N-Out. I'll always start eating it and be worried that I'm going to have to order a 2nd burger because the 1st one just won't be enough. Then I finish it, and I'm stuffed, and I'm sad that I don't get to order another one. It's a constant battle of wills that I have yet to win.
Outback's Wedge Salad
Checker's fries
Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich (okay.. .really anything from Chick-Fil-A!)
re: ipsedixit
Eggszacktickly! Filet-O-Fish.
re: ipsedixit
I get a serious craving for one of those about twice a decade.
My main fast food chain addiction is the Wendy's #6 combo: Spicy Chicken, no tomato, fries and an unsweetened tea.
My main non-fast food chain addiction is Smokey Bones ribs. I'm very fortunate that there's no Smokey Bones in my town. They wouldn't make clothes big enough to fit me.
re: Ima Wurdibitsch
oh dang, your mention of smokey bones makes me recall the very best smoked chicken i've ever had -- at the mt. pleasant smokey bones.
and there ain't no smokey bones round these here parts. ;-(.
re: alkapal
It's always a hard call to decide whether I want the chicken or the ribs. Both are damned tasty. Fortunately, I can usually get my dining companion to agree to get one, then I get the other and we share.
re: ziggylu
The Roll's at Damons. Outback Aussie Cheese Fries.
re: ziggylu
ditto. it's a sickness. but it does give me options when stuck in chain city towns.
re: steakman55
Second on Whataburger, although I usually stick to the single. Always the first stop whenever I fly back home.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
I get the Whataburger Jr meal with an extra meat patty. Same amount of meat as the single, less bread, small fries. No cheese for me. Half-and-half tea.
re: sockii
I have only ever eaten at Applebee's once, and I remember the onion nuggets with the horseradish dip being quite good. I also had a popcorn shrimp caesar salad that would have had the potential to become a guilty pleasure if there was one nearby. I have an unnatural fondness for non-authentic caesar salads.
re: im_nomad
I usually order one of the salads at Applebees when I end up there (late night afterwork or when on the road). Seriously they're usually pretty damned edible in an addictive/crack kind of way. The one they brought back for the summer with shimp, egg, avocado, black olives on bibb lettuce is my favorite. That and sharing an artichoke dip and I am very, very happy if I have to do a "chain" meal...
re: sockii
Responding to myself, but, I just tried the relatively new BBQ Chicken Salad at an Applebees today for lunch and was really satisfied with it. Fresh, crunchy mixed lettuce, well-cooked chicken, dressing on the side as I asked, and lots of crunchy big freshly-cooked addictive hunks of good bacon. Plus lots of fresh-tasting diced pepper, cheese, etc. It was a great salad, well-prepared and nicely balanced.
I know people hate on Applebees like crazy but at least in my area, it is one of the better "casual dining" chains at the locations I've frequented (Philly and South Jersey). For the price point I'd eat there easily.
The salsa at Chevy's, as well as their seasonal watermelon margarita.
The chocolate chip cookie with coconut in it at Paradise Bakery.
The teryaki chicken burger at Red Robin.
Costco hot dogs with mustard and relish. And their very berry sundae! Mmmm...
re: im_nomad
Yes! Best onion rings.
In-N-Out - Burger
Cheddar's Casual Cafe - Spinach Dip
In-N-Out - Shake
Carrabba's - Chicken Bryan
Cheddar's Casual Cafe - Cookie Monster
The Double BLT at IHOP... comes with perfect onion rings, and I mean perfect.
The empanada dessert at Taco Bell.
McDonald's fries... and their tater tots.
I may qualify for an intervention.
For those of you that live in or will visit SE FL, give Flanigan's Tumbleweed Onions a try. They're very thinly sliced onion, battered & fried, but as greaseless as a dish of this type can be.
re: ChrisOC
Jack in the Box tacos...there's no problem that these tacos can't solve
Popeye's red beans and rice (more beans than rice) and their fried chicken
Cheesecake Factory Thai Chicken Pasta
Texas de Brazil's mini cheese biscuits
Chick Fil-a's waffle fries
Outback - chopped sala, creamy onion soup, tassies w/blue cheese sauce
In-N-Out - double double with extra+ fried onion [thank god I can only get these when I fly across the country to West Coast]
Checkers - chili bowl [here on LI, it's bean-free and tasty. I have to add my own chopped onion & hot sauce, but it's cheap and delish]
Sliders from White Castle/Krystal.
Taco Bell Chili Cheese Burritos.
Popeye's Red Beans & Rice.
JIB tacos - i know that no meat is naturally orange, but i just don't care.
Sonic anything - i don't have one anywhere near me, so it's always my first stop when i travel. i think it's a bit of the "can't have it whenever i want" mystique. and their tots rock.
KFC strips - i don't like to eat meat on the bone, so this way i can get the yummy Original Recipe goodness without having to gnaw on a carcass.
kfc snackers with extra pepper mayo USED TO be the best thing ever. id drive 35 mninutes to the local kfc and get 7 of them at a time. then kfc changed their chicken to shitty cheap chicken lol. i dont have many fast food addictions, but theres this place called stuf yer face in new jersey that is jsut out of this world. for 12 dollars you can get an 18 inch stromboli stuffed with anything.. its great. its just far. and the only way to get in is to parralel park lools.
i have to add what i had for lunch yesterday. Yoshinoya's Combo Bowl w/ no skin on the chicken. this meal never fails. i love every ingredient in it.
although, they have made the bowl smaller. but it's still totally filling, so i would feel like a glutton for complaining too much about that.
McD's - Egg McMuffin & Hash Browns
Taco Bell - Double Decker Taco Supreme
KFC - Strips and Popcorn Chicken, Potato Wedges
Quaker Steak & Lube - O(nion) Rings
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from DD or Panera
re: latindancer
Definitely animal-style fries. I get them every time we're in CA or Vegas. My whole family drools over them.
re: invinotheresverde
I didn't know you could order the fries animal style, too. Do the have the same seasoning?
re: ajs228
Yes ajs228. They're delicious.
cheese coneys at Skyline
crack on a warm little bun
I have moved to the PNW, no Skyline
the withdrawal was fierce
jamocha shakes at Arby's
Orange Julius [the original, tastes like a Creamsicle]
Double Cheeseburgers at Burger King
Patty Melts at Denny's [on rye, and yes I am ashamed]
Red Lobster - cheddar/garlic biscuits
Amen to that. I remember eating those boys like nothing when i was a kid.
Main Gott- nobody mentioned the BK Whopper?? Unreal. Charbroiled crack at its most tasty.
Arby's roast beef sandwich- plain, no cheese lava, just some Arby's sauce and a little Horsey sauce
BK cheeseburgers
Arby's Jamocha shake
Jack has really amped up the JITB menu- hope they never change the tacos.
re: EWSflash
I find the whopper jr. to be more addictive. its just a few mouthfulls, surely one more wont hurt....
had 5 one time...omg i felt like a pig
shame shame shame
(and yes, the last two were with bacon...of course it has to be washed down with 'the real thing', ice cold coke.)
re: KaimukiMan
<raises hand to second the junior whopper -- with extra pickles. and yes, i can pack away two, easily. i love that they only cost a buck each.>
red slobster cheddar bay biscuits -- crack indeed!
sonic's lemon-berry slush. intense fresh strawberry goodness with a real lemon kick.
ihop's harvest grain and nut pancakes with the amazing, incredible butter pecan syrup!
re: alkapal
Mmmm haven't had the harvest grain and nut pancakes for awhile. And that syrup sounds excellent.
re: KaimukiMan
LOL! Yeah, I generally beg a bite from my son's Whopper, which is enough (almost). I can see eating five of them and regretting it but not really.
Don't need no damn bacon with a Whopper, though, that's gilding the lily a bit too much, but if it floats your boat, go for it!
Taco Bell quesadillas. I don't know what's in that sauce, I just know that I want to bathe in it.
Cherry Limeade at Sonic. OMG... just discovered this place 2 weeks ago and have made 2 road trips just to have lunch there. DH is hooked on the bacon cheeseburger toasters.
TGIF String bean fries
Chili's French Fries (the only FF that I actually like)
Chipotle Barbacoa TACOS
Baskin Robins Chocolate N Peanut Butter Ice cream
Taco Johns super potato ole's (Lord have mercy on me for admitting this)
Max and Erma's Tortilla soup
Every once in a while I get a craving for
McD's Fish Filet
Der Wienerschnitzel chili dogs.
re: RetiredChef
The Torilla soup is excellent.
re: aynrandgirl
I love those Gordon Biersch garlic fries - I've tried to make them 100 times, and can't quite get it.
re: vencogirl
There's a place off I - 65 just south of Nashville called Stan's. It's almost right across the street from Cracker Barrel. Why people would drive past this and go there is truly a mystery.
McDonald's hash brown used to be addictive but since they changed their oil - it no longer is.
re: heckonwheels
Mine too. Sometimes I go for almost a year without one, somehow, but then I'll have one and it's so fantastic I'll crave it again and again until thank God I get tired of themk and go several months without one. A true addiction.
The first item which jumped to mind as soon as I saw the title of this turned out to be Item #1 on the OP's list: cheddar biscuits at the Dead Lobster. LOVE THEM!! I also love Egg McMuffins. Lucky for me I am hungry and near a McDonald's during the limited hours these are served about once a year. I will almost always get some kind of Egg McMuffin anytime I'm anywhere for breakfast where some version of it is served.
re: eatsbread
When I was in the hospital the evening after my son was born, my DH brought me a Butterfinger Blizzard...oh my GOD was that amazing. I don't think anything has ever tasted that good since.
I'm in Arizona and Dixie Crossroads is in Florida, not sure if it counts as a chain, but there's more than one. Not only are the broiled rock shrimp crack on the half shell, but the little cornbread puffs with powdered sugar as an appetizer is beyond heavenly, and oddly enough doesn't detract from the fabulousness of the shrimp. I don't know how they do it but it was the highlight of my trip to Florida (but that's another story- low expectations and a surprise highlight).
re: EWSflash
No one has said McD's french fries?!?!? I could eat 2 large orders of these i 5 minutes. Everytime I drive by, I have to talk myself out of going throught he drive thru for some.

text: Lie of the Decade by John Sexton 5 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: In response to Video: Obama Debunks John's "Outrageous Myth": It should be impossible to square this circle. On the one hand Obama's promise that you could keep the plan you currently have if you like it (Period.) On the other hand is the reality that 7 million people are going to lose their plans whether they like it or not. But the President's allies at Politifact have already begun the hard work of moving the goalposts on this issue. Last May Politifact said Romney lied when he claimed "Millions could lose their health care coverage and be forced into a government pool." Since the people who lose their insurance will wind up with government subsidized insurance somewhere else, Politifact argued, the President's promise wasn't being violated. Contrary to what every single person listening to the President's promise thought at the time, "your plan" turns out to mean something closer to "a plan." Given the dozens of times the President made this promise, the millions of us who heard him do it and the millions of times it won't turn out to be true, this should be the lie of the decade.

'Happy Feet Two' Theatrical Trailer – Elijah Wood Makes A Dancing Escape
Posted on Thursday, October 6th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
The first trailer for Happy Feet Two was the epitome of the word "teaser." It was little more than a bunch of penguins dancing in unison to Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back. With the film's release date now just over a month out, Warner Bros. has finally released a full, theatrical trailer that not only gives us an idea of the story also samples the almost mind-blowingly impressive voice cast this time around (Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Hank Azaria, Sofia Vergara, Pink, Hugo Weaving). Plus, it proves that these Happy Feet movies are about much more than dancing. Don't worry, though. There's still plenty of dancing. Check it out after the jump. Read More »

purchased used BMW from a toyota dealership in florida 2 months ago. The lights seemed to be missing and back emblem was missing. the dealer in a VERBAL commitment offered to repair both pieces but still have not and now car is over heating... do i have a case against them to fix all the problems now since our contract on their end has not been fulfilled?
Mr. Burdge is correct, a through review of your purchase paperwork is required and Mr. Murphy and Ms. Covey are well versed in this area of the law. The dealer's promise to repair certain items is considered an express warranty and need not be in writing; the dealer should be required to perform under this warraty. Whether you can require the dealer to also warrant an overheating condition that arose later will depend on additional facts.
Hard to say without reading all your sales papers and going through the whole story with you. Rebecca Covey and Bob Murphy are in the Ft Lauderdale area and they know Florida car sales law extremely well. Angelo Marino is there also and Florida has lots of great Consumer Protection Lawyers. You can find their contact info at www.USLemonLawyers.com. Call one and go over it so you can be sure what your state law says your rights are.
Mr. Bolliger is modest as he too is an excellent consumer protection atty. Find him or Dana Manner or any of the other fine consumer protection attorneys noted here:

Dog reaching for treats sparks house fire

A dog reaching for treats on top of a stove sparked an apartment fire in Washington, fire officials said.
It appears the black Labrador was trying to get at a bag of dog food when it accidentally turned the stove on with its paw, Wenatchee Fire Marshal Mark Yaple told KPQ radio.
The dog's owners weren't home at the time.
Firefighters were able to rescue the pooch, but had to revive the animal using snout-to-mouth resuscitation, according to KPQ.
Damages are estimated at $10,000.

Domino's charges teen $300K for pizza
Updated On: Jul 10 2014 09:15:31 AM CDT
A hungry teenager ended up paying nearly $300,000 for a Domino's pizza.
19-year-old Nathaniel Bolwell of Newport, England ordered a large pizza, drinks and a couple of side orders from his local Domino's pizza restaurant, according to Metro. The order would typically cost around $30, but the next time he tried to use his debit card, he discovered his account was overdrawn, which struck the teenager as odd.
Bolwell called the bank to find out that his account was overdrawn by 178,000 pounds or roughly $300,000 in American dollars.
Lloyds Bank investigated and Domino's Pizza realized they made a mistake when they accidentally tacked his four digital bank authorization code onto the price of his purchase.
Domino's apologized and the overdraft charges have since been corrected.

Squatters take over Greenbrook house
Date: April 23, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Normally, you'd keep your furniture inside your house, but on April 9, a home in Greenbrook Terrace had its entire contents stacked neatly in the driveway.
It proved an unusual sight — especially considering that many neighbors didn't know anyone had been living in the home at 15118 Searobbin Drive.
The belongings were those of Mark and Melanie Fiscina and Mark Fiscina's cousin, Christopher Gallagher, who, according to Manatee County Sheriff's Office reports, had moved into the home as squatters. The three were arrested April 5, and their belongings were evicted from the home by property manager West Coast Homes Realty four days later.
"We didn't know what was going on," neighbor Robert Hufstedler said. "We had seen the police out there and the neighbor that was there we knew had moved out. We hadn't seen much action at the house and then all of the sudden we saw all these sheriff's cars (there)."
Rebekah Boos, broker/owner of West Coast Homes Realty, had reported to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office that people were living in one of her vacant homes and did not have permission to be there. No contract or verbal agreement had been made to allow occupancy, she told sheriff's office deputies.
The Fiscinas and Gallagher were charged with trespass in structure, a misdemeanor, and taken to the Manatee County Jail. A $250 bond was posted for each on April 6.
"(A man from the property management company) told me that he had talked to these people about renting the house, and they didn't have a deposit or a signed lease or anything and somehow they got in the house," Hufstedler said. "I don't know the details. He was kind of shocked to see that somebody had moved in."
The sheriff's office report states the Fiscinas and Gallagher entered the home April 2 and proceeded to establish residence without the homeowner's permission.
In a sworn affidavit, Boos said the Fiscinas filled out an application to rent the home and were asked to pay $75 for a background check. Boos stated she was contacted by Melanie Fiscina and told she could not get the money for the house but would try. Boos received no money exchange and never gave permission for the Fiscinas to move into the home, the report states.
Boos also stated all house showings and contracts are handled by her ex-husband, Jared Boos, who said he never received any money from the Fiscinas and never gave them keys to the Greenbrook house.
According to the report, Jared Boos said he talked to Rebekah Boos about how they would get the money and that Melanie Fiscina told him she had not yet received a check but was in the process of getting it to him. Jared Boos stated he did not give permission for anyone to move into the home.
The Fiscinas said they began moving their belongings into the house April 2. Neither could provide any proof of contract or money receipt of any type, the report states.
The Fiscinas also stated Gallagher has lived with them since April 2, but Gallagher said he was just helping his cousins move in, the report states.
Neither Mark Fiscina nor Gallagher are currently employed.
Rebekah Boos declined comment.

In addition to Turner, the Marlins also optioned left-hander Daniel Jennings to the Zephyrs. Infielders Nick Green, Matt Downs and Kevin Kouzmanoff, outfielder Jordan Brown and left-hander Zach Phillips were reassigned to minor league camp.

Kuroda tops list of free-agent hurlers
Updated: November 29, 2007, 7:42 PM ETBy Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com
A few new truths have come to light in Major League Baseball this offseason. Such as:Hank Steinbrenner is a budding quote machine. The Los Angeles Angels are dead serious when they say they're tired of falling short in the postseason. And in the quest for pitching, the definition of "extravagant" is changing by the day. While the Alex Rodriguez and Torii Hunter deals have been the early highlight, the principal focus this offseason has been on pitching. When Francisco Cordero, Mariano Rivera and Scott Linebrink agreed to contracts worth $110 million in exchange for bullpen cameos, it bodes especially well for the starting pitchers who've yet to sign. Maybe Gil Meche, Ted Lilly and Vicente Padilla were just a warm-up act for this winter's weak starting crop. "Last year's sticker shock is this year's reality," said Barry Praver, the agent for free-agent starter Carlos Silva. With the exception of Tom Glavine and Curt Schilling -- a pair of 40-somethings signed up for farewell tours -- the starting pitching market remains untapped. The Opryland Hotel in Nashville is sure to be buzzing with Johan Santana trade rumors next week as the Yankees and Mets prepare to square off in a Godzilla vs. Megalon-caliber confrontation. But teams in search of pitching have a lot of non-Santana-related options available. We address a bunch of them in a Hot Stove edition of "Starting 9."
The Japanese importThe pitcher attracting the most attention on the free-agent market is a mystery to American baseball fans. But Hiroki Kuroda is sure getting lots of love from Major League Baseball front offices. Kuroda, 32, went 103-89 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 seasons while pitching in a bandbox for the Hiroshima Carp. He throws a fastball at 92-94 mph, a plus slider and a changeup that acts like a forkball. He's had some elbow issues in the past, and that could be a concern. But lots of baseball people rank him just a tick behind Daisuke Matsuzaka. "He's a legit middle- to back-of-the-rotation starter," said a National League executive. "Of all the free agents, I think he's the best one out there." Kuroda's list of suitors includes Seattle, Kansas City, Arizona, the Cubs, the Mets and definitely the Dodgers, who would love to plug him into their rotation with Brad Penny, Derek Lowe and Chad Billingsley. If Jason Schmidt can return to form and round out the top five in 2008, so much the better. Seattle appears to be the front-runner after general manager Bill Bavasi and manager John McLaren traveled to Japan to meet personally with Kuroda. The initial feeling was that Kuroda could expect a three-year deal worth between $33 and $36 million. But the competition for his services could easily push his deal to four years.
The WorkhorseCarlos Silva gets a lot of practice pitching out of the stretch. In 945 career innings, he's allowed 1,112 hits, and left-handed hitters have a .311 batting average against him.
But Silva is adept at minimizing the damage. He's good at holding baserunners. He's averaged 1.63 walks per nine innings, the lowest ratio of any active pitcher with 750 career innings. And he ranks third among active pitchers in his rate of double-play groundouts induced. Last year, Silva recorded 20 quality starts -- the same as Josh Beckett, Mark Buehrle, Aaron Harang and Chien-Ming Wang -- while pitching in the very competitive AL Central. Move him to the National League, with a strong infield defense to swallow up all those ground balls he churns out, and his 4.31 career ERA might take a substantial dip. So where does Silva land? The Reds need an innings-eating starter -- and general manager Wayne Krivsky knows Silva from his Minnesota days -- but Cincinnati spent a big chunk of money on Francisco Cordero. Houston is in a position to spend and needs help after Roy Oswalt, but GM Ed Wade seems more interested in former Phillies Randy Wolf and Jon Lieber. The market for Silva is likely to gain momentum once Kuroda finds a home. The Mets and Dodgers might wind up in the mix, but at the moment, they're looking at Silva as more a fallback than a priority.

Bruce Kluckhohn/MLB Photos via Getty ImagesCarlos Silva could be good for 15-20 wins in the right environment.
The EnigmaKyle Lohse ranks somewhere between Brett Tomko and Meche on the tease-o-meter. Scouts and talent evaluators rave about his stuff, but the end result is a 29-year-old guy with a 63-74 record, a 4.82 career ERA and a penchant for making one bad pitch and allowing minor jams to escalate into big messes. "The guy has a hard time with crooked numbers on the scoreboard," said a National League scout. Agent Scott Boras is pushing Lohse as a more durable version of Meche -- a guy who might suddenly break through in the right environment. Boras has made it known that he's seeking a four- or five-year deal for Lohse, and he's willing to wait until teams get desperate. The Phillies liked Lohse enough that they might be interested in bringing him back on an Adam Eaton-type deal (three years and $25 million or so). In this market, that's almost certainly not going to cut it.
The Old StandbyLivan Hernandez has been teetering on the brink for a while now. The consensus is that he's too old, too heavy and too velocity-impaired to continue performing as a staff anchor. But Hernandez has a track record for giving clubs their money's worth. He leads the majors with 2,271 innings pitched over the last 10 seasons, and his 333 starts place him third behind Greg Maddux (342) and Tom Glavine (338). The problem is, Hernandez threw up a lot of red flags on the way to an 11-11 record with Arizona in 2007. His ratio of 3.96 strikeouts per nine innings was a career low, and National League lineups slugged a whopping .499 against him. Do the words "smoke and mirrors" mean anything? Several executives mentioned Shea Stadium as a natural landing place for Hernandez. But Omar Minaya's first priority is acquiring a No. 1 guy, and he'll focus on Johan Santana and Dan Haren before contemplating Plans B and C. Hernandez might find his way to Flushing, but he'll have to wait for a few other scenarios to shake out first.
The Comeback GuysRather than overspend for a Silva or Lohse, lots of teams are tempted to take a flyer on a starter who's recovering from injury. The shopping list includes Matt Clement, Kris Benson, Lieber, Jason Jennings, Randy Wolf, Bartolo Colon and Glendon Rusch.
Colon is generally considered to have the highest upside. But the combination of weight issues and a troublesome medical dossier aren't helping the sales pitch. "I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole," said an American League scout. "I think his lack of conditioning has finally caught up to him." Several teams find Rusch and Lieber intriguing because their injuries weren't arm-related. Lieber ruptured a tendon in his left foot in July, and Rusch missed all of last season because of a blood clot in his lung. He's left-handed and versatile enough to start or relieve, so his agent -- former Dodgers general manager Dan Evans -- has been fielding a lot of calls. Clement, who was throwing simulated games in Florida in September in his comeback from shoulder surgery, is also a popular guy these days. The best fit for Clement could be San Diego; the Padres were gearing up to make a run at Curt Schilling before he decided to return to Boston. Agent Barry Axelrod said he wants to get Clement into a "comfortable situation where he can succeed." Clement pitched for Reds manager Dusty Baker in Chicago, so there's a familiarity factor in Cincinnati. He knows Toronto pitching coach Brad Arnsberg from their days together in Florida, and the Blue Jays already expressed interest during Clement's last free agent go-round in 2004. Texas, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Colorado, Houston and Kansas City are among the other clubs trolling for help on the rehab bin. And you can never discount Washington GM Jim Bowden, who has a history of jumping in and looking for bargains late in the game.

The NaturalFor a while there were indications that the Cubs might decline to offer Mark Prior a contract at the Dec. 12 deadline, thereby rendering him a free agent. But after investing more than $15 million in Prior and getting 42 victories in return, the Cubs are understandably wary that he'll go elsewhere and turn into the second coming of Tom Seaver. So a trade isn't out of the question, but there are two significant obstacles: (1) The Cubs aren't going to get much in return because of Prior's recent medical history; and (2) Prior's next club would be saddled with the same concerns as the Cubs. Even if Prior comes back strong and goes 14-2 next season, he's eligible for free agency after 2008. "If you trade for him, you're going to want some protection out of the guy," said a National League official. "Why should you take the leap of faith and move somebody for him, then get left standing there with nothing while he gets big money someplace else?" The Cubs would like to sign Prior to a one-year deal for roughly the $3.575 million that he earned last season, then add a club option for 2009. But Prior is hesitant to lock himself in at a low base salary when he might have a chance to make a killing on the open market next winter. Prior's situation is complicated by several years of baggage and an undercurrent of tension. The Cubs think they've invested enough time in his rehab that Prior should show some loyalty to the organization. Meanwhile, Prior's camp points out that he did accept a minor pay cut last year rather than push the Cubs to salary arbitration. "It seems like there are some hard feelings there," said a baseball insider. "I don't sense that it's all hunky dory."
NontendersIf the Cubs decide to cut Prior loose, the line will stretch around the block. When asked how many clubs would have an interest in Prior if he's suddenly free in December, one NL executive replied, "Twenty-nine." And it remains to be seen how much Prior will pitch in 2008. The Cubs would love to have him back by May, but Prior, who had shoulder surgery last April, hasn't even begun throwing off a mound yet.
The non-Santana trade market"All the Orioles are available," said a National League executive. That means Baltimore GM Andy MacPhail will listen on Miguel Tejada, Ramon Hernandez, Melvin Mora, Daniel Cabrera and Brian Roberts for the right combination.
Salary dumpsEven if the Cubs don't trade Prior, there have been some rumblings that they're listening on Jason Marquis. After a strong start last season, Marquis posted an unsightly 5.73 ERA after the All-Star break. The Cubs owe him $16.25 million over the next two years, and he didn't exactly ingratiate himself with manager Lou Piniella with his performance down the stretch. And the Pirates are actively shopping Matt Morris, who has one year left on a three-year, $27 million deal. Competing teams like Morris' professionalism and the positive impact he could have as a veteran mentor on a young staff. It's his declining velocity, $9.5 million salary and 8.17 September ERA that make them gun-shy. Jerry Crasnick covers baseball for ESPN.com. His book "License To Deal" was published by Rodale.

text: 150,000 People Oppose Plain Packaging for Cigarettes in UK Print article Send a Tip by David Atherton 8 Aug 2014 post a comment At midnight last night, the Department of Health finished its final six-week consultation on whether to implement plain packaging for cigarettes. In response, Simon Clark of the Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco (FOREST) personally delivered 53,196 letters to Downing Street, with over 100,000 other people also signing a petition dissenting. Clark said on his blog "The response demonstrates the enormous level of opposition to this ill-conceived measure. We urge the prime minister to think again." He added: "There's no evidence standardised packaging will have any health benefits. Advocates base their arguments not on facts but on speculation." Also, in a last minute appeal, quango Public Health England (PHE) - an Executive Agency of the Department of Health - put out a press release claiming, "savings of around £500 million" in public health, a "3.4 percent fall in tobacco sales" in Australia and, more controversially, retailers "earn relatively little profit from tobacco sales. On average, only seven to nine percent of the cost of tobacco is retained by the retailer, in contrast to the government, which retains 83 percent." On the latter, they quote Liberal Democrat Councillor John McClurey - a newsagent - saying: "Traders like me are well aware of the tiny profit from tobacco products – I make similar profit from a pack of chewing gum as a £6 pack of cigarettes." Professor Kevin Fenton, National Director of Health and Wellbeing, Public Health England, added: "Standardised packaging is a powerful measure that would help to save lives. The evidence from Australia is adding to the substantial and irrefutable case that the absence of attractive packaging works to reduce the number of smokers, as well as encouraging others to cut down." On tobacco not being profitable, some may point out that if going tobacco-free increases profits, then more pubs would have chosen to ban smoking before the smoking ban came in. Even post-ban, smokers make up 38 percent of a pub's clientele and 52 percent of profits. Indeed, Imperial Tobacco claim the average non-smoker spends £1,064 per year in a convenience store and smokers nearly double at £2,024. It also appears that with the Tobacco Display Ban (TDB), convenience stores have had a renaissance in tobacco sales. Many supermarkets, in advance of the TDB, covered up their stores before 6 April 2012 deadline with 80 percent of small retailers reporting an increase in sales. This advantage will be lost on 6 April 2015. The 3.4 percent reduction is challenged by Chris Snowdon, Director of Lifestyle Economics at The Institute of Economic Affairs. Smoking rates in Australia have been on the decline for decades and no statistically significant increase in quitting seems to have occurred post plain packaging. Many would also see it as cynical at the time of the plain packs implementation there was a 12.5 percent tax hike put on cigarettes. To the health activists, the disturbing fact is that according to the Australian National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2013, there has been a 36 percent increase in the 12-17 age groups smoking daily. This seems bizarre in the context of public information of saturating proportions of the potential harm of smoking. One could conclude that the blanket publicity of smoking issues and the desire of teenagers not to conform are possible reasons. For the vested interests in the tobacco industry, this has been one of the most keenly contested pieces of legislation, starting three years ago. David Cameron has been accused of being inconsistent on his decision and only a Labour Party intervention and defeat in the Lords brought it back to the Commons. Any new legislation proposed by tobacco control and indeed other lifestyle choices such as alcohol and sugar will have to be carefully and neutrally researched. The truth, as in war, has been the first casualty and the growing unpopularity of the "nanny state" is not a label any political party seems increasingly to want to wear round its neck.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Still time to rethink new garbage system
Winnipeg and Emterra still have time to re-think the new garbage system before the snow flies.
In Wolseley, the pickups for waste, recycling and yard waste have been on schedule only a few times since the inauguration of wheelie bin system on Aug. 7.
I have called 311 at least four times about a missed pickup of garbage or recycling, and have rolled one of my un-emptied wheelie bins back into the yard on at least two other occasions. On one of the missed garbage pickups, an operator fished through our garbage and recovered an item but then the crew left the bins on the entire lane.
The city's 311 operators advise that it takes two days for information about a missed pickup to get to the city's waste management people and at least another day for the city to arrange for a second pickup.
This means leaving bins out for at least three more days. Our single family home is across the lane from a multi-family home with eight bins, which create a "wall of bins" when the bins are set into the lane.
This "wall of bins" makes it difficult to back our car out of our driveway on the scheduled pickup day, a problem that continues for three more days if a pickup is missed. It will be a complete mess after it snows and the lane is narrowed by the rock-hard frozen ridges and ruts left by the plows.
While wheelie bins are used in many urban settings, a quick review indicates that Winnipeg may be the only large city attempting to use individual wheelie bins in inner-city lanes under what soon will be extreme winter weather conditions.
Winnipeg's practice of leaving homeowners to fend for themselves in clearing windrows left by snow plows on both side of lanes can be expected to prevent or delay pickups in the narrow lanes in the older parts of the city. I cannot imagine how people without steel shovels or ice-cutting tools, or the elderly or the physically challenged, are going to hack out spaces for their bins or cope with dragging the bins through the snow and over windrows.
If Emterra cannot get it together in this lovely warm fall weather that has blessed Winnipeggers, the onset of winter can be expected to result in further delays and missed pickups and bins left indefinitely in Winnipeg's snowy and barely passable lanes.
On the plus side, our family appreciates not having to carry car loads of dripping bags of leaves to the Leaf It With Us depots.
Emterra and the city, however, should have anticipated and addressed the significant increase in the demand for paper leaf bags.
Like other readers, I drove from store to store to store in a nearly fruitless search for paper leaf bags. It would appear that neither Emterra nor the city advised stores to stock up on paper leaf bags in preparation for the fall leaf season.
In this regard, I want to thank the folks at Rona on Sergeant Avenue for going the extra mile to quickly restock the paper leaf bags, for providing accurate information on re-stock dates and for actually answering the phone to confirm that a shipment of leaf bags had arrived.
Because it was the City of Winnipeg that banned the use of plastic leaf bags to improve the industrial-scale composting program (which I support), the city should post a webpage to advise Winnipeggers which outlets actually have a stock of paper leaf bags (and which outlets are out of stock) in order to prevent Winnipeggers from wasting time and gas in fruitless expeditions to purchase paper leaf bags.
Michael Anderson was part of a group of concerned citizens in Delta, British Columbia who founded the Delta Recycling Project and established the first blue box collection program in Western Canada in 1988.

Canuck record labels accuse tunesmiths of smoking opium
Been there, done that, eh?
We Canadians used to pay a tax on blank cassettes, and even iPods. The assumption was that "everybody" was copying music anyway, so everybody paid a tax. And we all copied music knowing we'd paid for the right to do so.
The biggest problem is, like with royalties for radio airplay, who decides where the money goes. The major (read American) labels used to grab all of the radio royalty money, and nobody looked at the playlists from campus radio stations, so independent musicians got nothing from the pot.
I'm not up on what goes on these days. Hell, I'm old enough to remember what cassettes are.

Stop using flash.
There are sites like CNET.com that are so full of Flash based ads that the page is impossible to read. They have full motion videos with sound that load automatically, and if you want to scroll anywhere you have to manually turn them off first.
These guys wouldn't dream of having imbedded MIDI files playing tunes and animated GIF files everywhere, like some Geocities template page about cute kittens from deepest cyburbia.
They do it with Flash and that's somehow more sophisticated.
I use Firefox and Flashblock and don't visit CNET very often.

How do I keep my sweaters from pulling? I heard a rumor that you put them in the freezer? This can't be right...Thanks Gretta! Monica
Hi Monica,
You have definitely piqued my interest, since I haven't heard that remedy for eliminating pulls in sweaters just yet... My greatest victory for fixing a pull has been with a very small crochet hook! Turn the sweater inside out, and from the backside of the snag, use your small crochet hook to pull the misplaced thread back to the intended place.
What is in for nail polish right now? Dark colors? Clear? The trends change so fast I can't keep up. Lori
Hi Lori,
Nail polish can be the perfect way to finish off your look, and the palette ifs often dictated by the time of year. By keeping a sheer pink, red, clear and dark metallic in your cabinet you are sure to always be on trend! Lately, I've been wearing mostly dark metallics since they are a great transition from fall to winter. Have some fun with colors like, "Lincoln Park after Dark" OPI and "It's Genius" by Essie!
Do you do all of the tailoring we see on the show yourself? Alex
Hello Alex,
Due to the demands of the shooting schedule, I am so lucky to have my friend, Tayna Seeman by my side, to tie up all the loose ends! I immediately get a vision of how the garment should appear, but always consult her before jumping into anything... She is a costume designer extraordinaire, and has been a delight to work with!

Vintage Sleds
During race week at the SOO-I-500, we host our annual Vintage Snowmobile/Memories at the Mile program at the track.
Vintage sleds have historically been a unique and outstanding addition to the I-500 event. Throughout the decades of involvement, many vintage snowmobiles have entered the I-500 track for the historical Ceremonial Opening Lap. This is a tribute to the history and evaluation of the snowmobile and endurance racing. It gives us great pleasure to honor such involvement and the I-500 project is pleased to have partnered with Top Of the Lake Snowmobile Museum to present the vintage participation for the I-500 project.
Any questions or requested information about the vintage sled involvement at the I-500, should contact Top Of the Lake Snowmobile Museum.

The store may have kept its zip code, but this newly designed depot now offers more than just girly trinkets.

Brave the spotlight for a green flapper-style beaded evening purse ($1,135) and for day-goers, a silver leather purse bedazzled with stone-and-metal bullets ($530).
