Hi folks,
If any of you are reloading with HR, they have a 10% discount on their online store orders for this weekend.
I just ordered 3 boxes (1500 projectiles), and got 2% as a repeat customer, and another 10% under the special.
This pretty much saved the price of the shipping, so I'm happy.
Hope this is useful to someone.
regards, curan

Thanks curan,I'll check it out.
Make sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
Didn't realise how expensive commercial cast had become.
I stopped buying them when I realised I could cast bullets that shot more accurately than what I was buying.
Cast, coated and sized 1000 this afternoon took about 4 hrs.
Fairly new to coating but once I refine my procedures I think I should be able to cast, coat and size 1000 in about 2 hrs.
Fortunately the Hawkesbury stuff shoots well in my 30/30.
I don't really want to cast. I spent a lot of time with a leadburner when I was an apprentice, and if I don't have to cast, then I'm happy.
And I don't mind paying a bit to have it done for me. The service is good and I'm happy with the product.
cheers, curan

Just realised I'm also adding to the amount of lead in the backing mounds to help out those who do want to cast........
I'll just think of it as my little donation to a worthy cause, eh?
Team ANZMO - #58 - born and bred
Team 1894 - #347 - 1894M
Team 30-30 - #998 - 336 Zane Grey
Yep someone has to keep the backstops filled with a fresh supply of lead although you can keep shooting the same lead for ever if you can recover it.
Im sure I must have fired some lead 6 or more times
Heres a few Ive cast and coated the past few days about 3000 in the pic
Now don't they look good!
What coating are you using and what weight are they Sean?
And what size and make of sizing die, and is it being shot through a microgroove barrel?
Lotsa questions I know, but I may want to stop the donations of fresh lead in the backstops at some stage and start casting for myself!
cheers, curan
Team ANZMO - #58 - born and bred

Coating just gets referred to as HiTek same stuff the commercial casters have been using for years, green and gold in the pics I also have a copper bronze.
Most of the ones pictured will find their way out a pistol barrel, just about all lee moulds in the pic, .358 in 105swc, 158swc TL, 158 fp, some 9mm 124 con TL, and rcbs 314bnwc, sizing to 358 just with a lee push through for the .358.
Haven't really done a lot with any of these in the rifle although the 105swc shoot about 2" at 50 and kill rabbits well at around 1100fps. Should do as a chicken load.
Have a NOE mould for 180gr WFN gas check that I can also cast hp with that shows real promise in my marlin with micro grove.
Got Mitch to test some loads last time he was home, started off a touch over 1" at 50 at around 1300fps ended up at a bit over 1500fps and around 2". Shortly after we discovered the scope base was loose so may explain the groups opening up. I need to retest them. These were also sized .358.
I'm think this will become my hunting and probably silhouette load. 180gr at over 1500fps might even drop the rams in the rifle match.
Hey 220, I like the look of your bullets!
I mould all my own bullets & the lubesize them. I'd love to hear how you go about putting the HiTek covering on, and where you get it from. Any chance of some info
Applied in a similar way to the lee liquid alox, let dry for 30min and then bake in an oven, those in the picture have 2 coats applied.
Manufactured by a company in NSW, the biggest problem with shipping it to TAS is the liquids are classed as a dangerous good.
I think Juddy got some down to TAS to give it a try, shoot him a pm (ramslammer) he might give you some to try. It does go a long way at the rate I'm using 1 litre will coat about 50000 projectiles.
Really good thread on it over at the cast boolit forum that will answer just about all your questions, nearly 3000 posts so a good few days reading
simple Hi-Tek coating
They are working on a powdered version that contains the colour and catalyst, just need to add acetone, this should be able to be shipped regular post.

The Carlyle Cardinals are the Saskota Baseball League Champions as they won the annual Harbourne Memorial Tournament at Kenosee Lake from July 25 to 27.
The Cardinals were the top seeds in the tournament, thanks to a 14-1-1 regular season record, and they opened the tournament on July 25 with a 10-0 victory over the Wawota Pats.
Even though it was a blowout, the pitching was also effective, as Danny Rasmussen pitched the shutout, according to player-coach David Lemieux.
"We hit the ball a little bit, but the biggest thing was we got really good pitching that night," said Lemieux.
The following day, Carlyle's offence continued to roll, as they defeated the Oxbow Chiefs 13-3.
Lemieux said that they received solid pitching from Scott Nicholson, and the team was hitting the ball well too.
"We had both things going that day," he said.
The game was played in the rain, and a contest against the Kenosee Cubs later in the afternoon had to be rescheduled for the next day.
Carlyle defeated the Cubs 6-4 on July 27 to earn their third victory of round robin. They won their pool, and advanced in the playoff round to play the number two team in the other pool – the Estevan Tower Wolves.
Carlyle beat them 4-1.
"It was close the whole game, I think it could have pretty much gone either way," said Lemieux.
He also mentioned that both teams pitched "really, really, well."
Also the Cardinals played well defensively, he said, as they got out of a few jams with double plays. Timely hits also helped them earn the victory.
That win advanced them to championship final, and it was a rematch against the Chiefs. Carlyle defeated them 3-2.
They knew it was not going to be like the round-robin game, and the Cardinals didn't take them lightly, Lemieux said.
"They just played a lot better is basically what it came down too," he said. "They were really on the ball and gave us everything we can handle."
The Chiefs jumped out to a 2-0 lead early in the game, but the Cardinals battled back win.
"In the last inning they had a runner on third base, and we managed to get the last out," said Lemieux."
Lemieux said the team's pitching and defence were strong throughout the tournament, and that they were able to cut down on the mental errors.
"We just stayed focus all weekend knowing what the final goal was," he said.

Southern Gardening: Different gardeners have different goals
The summer months certainly take a toll on most gardeners. The heat and humidity can make even the most dedicated gardener decide to stay inside for the duration. As I considered going out in the 100-degree-plus heat index the other day, I was reminded of the difference between a gardener and a "yardener."

- Starring: Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines
- Summary: The improvised HBO comedy returns for a fifth season, centering around Larry's quest to determine whether or not he was adopted.
- Genre(s): Comedy
- Show Type: Between Seasons
- Season 5 premiere date: Sep 25, 2005
- Episode Length: 30
- Air Time: 10:00 PM
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 5
Mixed: 0 out of 5
Negative: 0 out of 5
"Curb" may be ridiculously silly, but, unlike "Extras," its shenanigans are inventive.
The show gets back to where it belongs: under Larry's expansive roof and inside his incessantly neurotic, disgracefully tactless and unerringly heartless skin.
It's a testament to Curb's cleverness that what's now rote--Larry offends, we cringe--can still be so surprising.
Score distribution:
Positive: 37 out of 39
Mixed: 1 out of 39
Negative: 1 out of 39

BillJ.Jul 23, 2008Amazingly halarious show. True genius... comedy at its best.
LupitaJun 2, 2006This last season was what got me hooked!! I'd never seen "Curb" before and after I watched all of season 5 I ran out and bought the past 4 seasons. Come on! Picking up a hooker to get into the carpool lane and then getting high with her and his father! Does it get any better? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show!… Expand
JimmyG.Jul 8, 2008Brilliant sitcom from a comic genius. This is as good as it gets.
Feb 13, 2013Classic, classic show. For those who liked Seinfeld but didn't like Curb, I almost wonder if you didn't give it a fair shake... I only say that because I initially didn't get blown away by the show at all. I only stuck with it because I trusted my friend's judgement. But it took literally an entire season for me to grasp Larry's style. Now I think it's one of the best shows ever. The first episode of season 5, about "The Larry David Sandwich", has brought me to tears probably over a dozen times with laughter. The banter between Larry and Ted Danson regarding the sandwich is SO hilarious. Top 5 episode.… Expand
Jan 4, 2012Is anyone more annoying than Larry David? I've been repeatedly told how great this show is, and have dutifully tried to watch it more than once. By the 5th season the neurosis is a eye-poking out levels. Most of the time I wanted to hit Larry David than have to spend one more second watching it. Ugh.… Expand

Following is the text of the May building permits report from Statistics Canada.
Municipalities issued building permits worth $7.0 billion in May, a 7.4% increase from April and the highest level since May 2007. The increase followed a 4.4% decline in April.
The gain in May was largely the result of higher construction intentions for institutional buildings in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, and for multi-family dwellings in British Columbia.
The value of residential building permits increased 8.5% to $4.1 billion, following four consecutive monthly declines. The advance recorded in the residential sector came from five provinces, led by British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta.
Non-residential construction intentions rose 6.0% to $2.9 billion after a 7.0% decline the previous month. The increase was the result of higher construction intentions in six provinces, led by Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
Residential sector: Intentions up for both multi-family and single-family dwellings
The value of permits for multi-family dwellings rose 17.7% to $1.8 billion, the second monthly increase since the beginning of the year. The gain was mainly attributable to higher construction intentions in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Contractors took out $2.3 billion worth of single-family dwelling permits, up 2.1% following four consecutive monthly decreases. Increases in Alberta and Ontario offset declines in six other provinces.
Nationwide, municipalities authorized the construction of 18,682 new dwellings in May, a 13.2% increase from April. The gain was particulary attributable to multi-family dwellings, which increased 22.0% to 11,801 units. Single-family dwellings rose 0.9% to 6,881 units.
Non-residential sector: Significant increase in the institutional component
In the institutional component, the value of permits increased 69.4% to $945 million after falling 42.7% in April. All provinces registered increases, except Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador. The increase was largely a result of higher construction intentions for medical facilities in British Columbia, government buildings in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and educational institutions in Quebec and Alberta.
The value of permits in the commercial component fell 12.4% to $1.4 billion in May, following three consecutive monthly advances. The largest declines occurred in Alberta and British Columbia and were a result of lower construction intentions for office buildings, which had posted significant gains in April. Ontario and New Brunswick reported decreases as a result of lower construction intentions for a variety of buildings, including retail buildings, warehouses and recreational facilities.
In the industrial component, the value of building permits declined 4.5% to $549 million, following a 40.0% increase in April. This was a result of lower construction intentions for manufacturing plants and transportation-related buildings, which had recorded increases the previous month. Declines were posted in five provinces, led by Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia.
Intentions up in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta
The value of building permits increased in seven provinces in May, led by British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The increase in British Columbia was the result of higher construction intentions for multi-family dwellings and institutional buildings. In Saskatchewan, the gain was attributable to higher construction intentions for non- residential buildings, particularly institutional structures. The increase in Alberta came from institutional, residential and industrial buildings.
Quebec posted the largest decrease, mainly as a result of lower construction intentions for industrial buildings and single-family dwellings. The decline in New Brunswick came particularly from commercial and industrial buildings and multi- family dwellings.
Permits value up in half of census metropolitan areas
In May, the total value of permits rose in 17 of the 34 census metropolitan areas.
The largest increases occurred in Vancouver, Edmonton and Ottawa. In Vancouver, the gain was mainly attributable to multi- family dwellings and institutional buildings. In Edmonton, residential and institutional buildings accounted for most of the advance. Higher construction intentions for institutional and commercial buildings and multi-family dwellings were largely behind the increase in Ottawa.
Calgary, Thunder Bay and Montréal posted the biggest declines. In Calgary, the decrease came from commercial buildings and, to a lesser degree, institutional buildings.
In Thunder Bay, the decline was attributable to institutional buildings, which had recorded a significant increase in the previous month. Lower construction intentions for commercial, industrial and residential buildings were behind the decline in Montréal.
Note to readers
Unless otherwise stated, this release presents seasonally adjusted data, which facilitates comparisons by removing the effects of seasonal variations.
The Building Permits Survey covers 2,400 municipalities representing 95% of the population. It provides an early indication of building activity.
The communities representing the other 5% of the population are very small, and their levels of building activity have little impact on the total.
The value of planned construction activities shown in this release excludes engineering projects (for example, waterworks, sewers or culverts) and land.
For the purpose of this release, the census metropolitan area of Ottawa-Gatineau (Ontario/Quebec) is divided into two areas: Gatineau part and Ottawa part.
Preliminary data are provided for the current reference month. Revised data, based on late responses, are updated for the previous month.

Chris Brown's Reflection Of The Real's Discussion
Did Chris Brown have every right to overreact about his relationship that was discussed on "The Real?"
Chris Algieri to confident for his own good?
in Sports
Chris Algieri was reportedly in great physical shape before the first day of training camp began. Algieri told Tha Boxing Voice, "Camp is to get better not to get into shape, so I showed up in phenomenal shape. We didn't have to focus on the conditioning aspect of it. We got to focus on strategy and game plan, and also doing good work in sparring."
Algieri trains year round, and believes his full potential is yet to be unlocked. He claims there is always room for improvement, even after the Pacquiao fight.
Tim Lane, Algieri's trainer, has seen his progression first hand. He stated, "The thing about Chris is, he doesn't get a little better from fight to fight, he gets ten or twenty fights better fight to fight. This is the third camp this year, and his improvements have been amazing." We will with out a shadow of a doubt be taking live calls on air from you the voice of the people.

Coconut softgels

I was excited with the concept of having softgels available, however, I am extremely disappointed after having read and compared the gram count vs. the coconut oil in the jar. Compared to the coconut oil in the jar,the softgels only give you a few drops of coconut oil per serving because of fillers. 1 tbs. of coconut oil is 14 grams, 3 softgels, only 4 grams. I don't understand why the companies would not fill the softgels with pure coconut oil rather than using fillers. In my opinion, this compromises the quality of the product.

I have very coarse, thick African American hair and in just taking this a few days, my hair felt very soft and moisturized, as if I had a conditioning treatment on it "BUT I DIDN'T". Its great for your hair, and skin. This is better than any conditioner from the salon..and trust me I"ve bought them all.
Firms up and hardens my muscles incredibly fast!

I don't exercise and the first day of taking 3-4 of these pills, I could feel my leg muscles hardening. Unfortunately I got fat from prescription gluco-cortico-steroids and that fat (located in my upper body only) won't budge no matter what! But I seem to be developing muscle under all that flab. I used to have a very firm, thin upper body. Maybe after a few years of these the steroid-induced fat will finally melt? I've Googled it and I can't find out how to lose weight/fat after steroid usage! =( I wish I had never taken Cortef, it ruined my body!

I have been taking coconut oil for my thyroid function for over a year and a half. I got to were I would gag because it was just too much. Now that I have the capsules it's the best of both worlds. I can take it and not have problems having to take it and works well keeping my thyroid in check!
Highly recommended

My husband and i have been taking these capsules in conjunction with the oil for our skin and hair. The results have been fab. My hypo-thyrodism is much better no longer have to sleep with sock due to cold feet. My hands are warmer too. My husband's psoriasis has cleared after years of struggling with it and trying different product with no success. His bald patch is slowly growing baby hairs after just 6wks of using the product. We are blown away and now taking 9capsules each daily. Our skin and hair are looking great too. Family and friend's have noticed changes in our skin & hair commenting that we are both looking younger.

Matt Garza Rumors
Diamondbacks, Angels Considered Favorites For Garza
Matt Garza's name has begun to pick up a bit more this week, with the Diamondbacks and Twins both having been linked to the right-hander. Here's the latest on Garza…
- Per MLB.com's Steve Gilbert, D-Backs GM Kevin Towers attempted to throw cold water on the idea that his club is the frontrunner for Garza. "I don't think so, no," Towers said. "I wouldn't say that we're that close on anything right now at this point in time on the free-agent front."
Earlier Updates:
- There's a growing feeling among executives that Garza will sign soon, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, who tweets that the D-Backs and Angels are viewed as the favorites.
- According to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register (Twitter link), however, the Angels aren't expecting to sign anyone today, so it doesn't appear Garza is close to signing with them.
- If Garza agrees to a deal by week's end, it doesn't look like it'll happen at the Winter Meetings. Garza's agent has left Orlando, according to Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities, who tweets that the Twins "know the price" for the righty.
- Heyman also mentions the Twins and adds the Angels to the mix of teams interested in Garza (via Twitter), noting that there's still nothing close.
- ESPN's Jerry Crasnick also hears that the Angels are in the mix for Garza, noting that despite a sizable asking price, the lack of draft pick compensation attached to Garza is a plus for the Halos and other interested parties (Twitter links).
- Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that the Diamondbacks are definitely talking to Garza, but they still have a lot of work to do.
- ESPN's Jayson Stark hears that Matt Garza's camp is telling interested parties that he could sign within the next 24 to 48 hours (Twitter link). There's been a lot of Diamondbacks buzz, Stark adds.

D'Backs Notes: Towers, Tanaka, Garza, Santana
The latest out of Arizona..
- Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers says that he's been telling free agents he'd rather pay a higher salary on a shorter deal, tweets Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Towers says he won't go to five years and probably not even four on a free agent deal. More from the NL West..
- Towers understands that his stance might take him out of the running for some free agent starters, Piecoro tweets. He would go longer to ink Masahiro Tanaka (link), however, as he is the club's No. 1 priority at the moment.
- In addition to talking to Matt Garza, the Diamondbacks met with agents for Ervin Santana, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Of course, signing Santana would cost them first-round pick. Their refusal to go beyond three years for the majority of free agents could also prove to be a road block.

AL West Notes: Astros, Morse, Rangers, Cruz
A look at the AL West..
- The Mariners' plan for Corey Hart is to see time in the outfield and at DH and he's not necessarily slotted for first base despite his knee troubles, tweets Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.
- Astros manager Bo Porter is pushing for Michael Morse in Houston, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Morse is said to be willing to do a one-year deal to re-establish his value.
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels says that he has had a few conversations with Nelson Cruz's agent and will continue to talk with him, tweets Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com.
- The Angels aren't close to any free agents signings, so if Matt Garza is nearing a deal somewhere, it's not with the Halos, tweets Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.

Diamondbacks Could Still Trade For Starter
WEDNESDAY: The Diamondbacks are getting interest in shortstops Didi Gregorius and Chris Owings and could still swing a trade for a starting pitcher, tweets Rosenthal.
GM Kevin Towers could include a current starter such as Trevor Cahill or Randall Delgado along with one of his shortstops in order to land a more established pitcher, Rosenthal adds. The Snakes have the depth to make that work, with Patrick Corbin, Wade Miley, Brandon McCarthy, Cahill and Delgado projected to fill out their 2014 rotation as it stands right now.
TUESDAY: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports spoke to a source who said the Diamondbacks are out on Shin-Soo Choo after acquiring Mark Trumbo and have now turned their focus to adding a front-line starting pitcher (Twitter link). Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that the Diamondbacks have been in touch with Matt Garza's agent but notes that he also wouldn't rule out a trade centering around one of Arizona's young shortstops (Twitter links). Arizona is hesitant to sign pitchers to long-term deals, Piecoro adds.
Save for a report that he's willing to return to the Twins, t's been pretty quiet on the Garza front to this point. Many pundits believe that to be a result of the uncertainty surrounding Masahiro Tanaka's availability. The 30-year-old Garza posted his seventh straight season of a sub-4.00 ERA in 2013, posting a 3.82 mark in 155 1/3 innings between the Cubs and Rangers. Though he began the year on the disabled list, Garza made all of his starts upon returning and posted solid rates of 7.9 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9.
The trade market offers David Price and Jeff Samardzija, both of whom have been oft-connected to the Diamondbacks. The Phillies are also said to be willing to move both Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels, although their unwillingness to eat any salary in order to facilitate a deal makes the D-Backs a tough fit for the Philly aces.

Twins Eyeing Garza, Arroyo, Colon, Pelfrey
The Twins' list of pitching targets currently consists of Matt Garza, Bronson Arroyo, Bartolo Colon and Mike Pelfrey, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (on Twitter).
Minnesota has been uncharacteristically aggressive on the free agent market, already landing Ricky Nolasco (four years, $49MM) and Phil Hughes (three years, $24MM) to shore up a rotation that posted an MLB-worst 5.26 ERA and 4.9 K/9 in 2013. Previous reports have indicated that despite being shipped off by the Twins years ago in a trade for Delmon Young, Garza would be open to returning to the team that drafted him.
The Twins' interest in Arroyo has been ongoing, and they're currently in the mix for the veteran innings eater along with the Reds and Mets. The Pirates are said to have dropped out of the Arroyo market, but the Reds could be preparing an offer. We've also heard of their interest in a reunion with Pelfrey a number of times, and they've reportedly extended an offer in the two-year, $10MM range that Pelfrey and agent Scott Boras have declined.
Minnesota's connection to Colon is new and would seem to be a dificult fit, as the aging Colon likely would prefer to sign with a team that's more likely to contend in 2013. However, the Twins could try to sell Colon on the fact that his addition would give them a fairly competitive rotation, or they could guarantee Colon a second year if other teams are reluctant to do so.

Pitching Rumors: D-Backs, Colon, Twins, Williams
Things are starting to heat up again on Day Three of the Winter Meetings, so let's dive right in and round up a few early morning notes on a handful of starting pitchers….
- The Diamondbacks are targeting front-line starters, as we heard yesterday, and Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports (via Twitter) that, besides Masahiro Tanaka, Matt Garza is the team's top choice due to the lack of draft pick compensation.
- Bartolo Colon and agent Adam Katz continue to focus on a two-year deal rather than a one-year pact, tweets ESPN.com's Buster Olney. This isn't the first time we've heard about the righty's desire for a multiyear contract — the deals for Scott Kazmir and Tim Hudson have recently been cited as possible comparables for Colon.
- La Velle E. Neal III of The Star Tribune has a few updates on the Twins' search for starting pitching, including word that the club could be in on Garza and, if he becomes available, Tanaka. Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities cautions (via Twitter) that there are no real developments on the Garza front, and that the Twins have spoken to agent multiple times and are familiar with his asking price.
- Jerome Williams represents a solid buy-low candidate, and is expected to top his projected $4MM arbitration salary on the open market, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
- MLBTR's Tim Dierkes hears that as many as eight to 10 teams have checked in on Williams in the past 48 hours (Twitter link).

Stark Previews Winter Meetings
ESPN.com's Jayson Stark is out with a Winter Meetings preview, noting that the frenzy of signings and trades this week threatens to overshadow an event that's traditionally one of the hot stove's busiest periods. Twenty teams either swapped a player or agreed to terms with a free agent between Monday afternoon and Tuesday night, according to ESPN's count. "I don't ever remember a day like Tuesday ever," an AL official commented. "Not just [during] the week before the Winter Meetings. Ever." Nevertheless, with several top names remaining unsigned and rumors of a David Price trade hanging in the air, Stark notes that there's plenty of hot stove left. Here's a run-through of his Winter Meetings preview, which includes a survey of 17 big league executives (conducted before the Carlos Beltran and Robinson Cano signings):
- Some believe Scott Boras will bide his time with Shin-Soo Choo following how quickly a deal for Jacoby Ellsbury came together with the Yankees, but there's another group that believes the superagent wants to show new rival Jay Z that he can be decisive. Around half of execs polled said they think Choo could sign during the Winter Meetings, or immediately afterward. All speculated he'll land with either the Rangers, Mariners or Tigers, though Detroit is indicating they're not involved.
- The market for starting pitching has been slow to develop because of uncertainty surrounding Masahiro Tanaka, as well as slow-developing rumors for Price and Jeff Samardzija, leaving Matt Garza and Ubaldo Jimenez still on the board. Officials polled varied widely in their predictions for when the two will sign, though many see Garza heading to the Yankees or the Orioles. Draft pick compensation is an issue with Jimenez, who doesn't have a consistent track record.
- Kendrys Morales isn't expected to sign soon, with many NL clubs passing on the slugger because there's a perception that he'll need to DH. "I think he has all the makings of this year's Kyle Lohse," one exec commented. Draft pick compensation is also an issue. "You should never forget how many teams don't want to give up those draft picks," one exec commented.
- Samardzija was seen as the player most likely to be traded during the Meetings among players who are still on the market, though his three votes only slightly surpassed Mark Trumbo's two. Many believe, however, that Samardzija could remain a Cub until later in the winter, or even until the summer trade deadline in July. One exec said he thinks the Angels were more willing to move Trumbo a month ago than they are currently.
- Carlos Beltran was by far seen as the most likely player to sign during the Meetings, though as that's already happened, the title is now held by Choo.
- While the Dodgers, Rangers, Mariners, Angels, Braves, Diamondbacks and Padres all appear to be interested in trading for Price, the group of teams that are actually able to consummate a deal could be much smaller. Rays GM Andrew Friedman appears to be taking his time allowing the market to develop. "Andrew is looking to make the Herschel Walker trade," a source tells Stark, referring to the 1989 NFL trade that involved 18 players and draft picks.

Olney On Starters, Mariners, Anderson, Mets, Rockies
As we continue to work our way through what has been a slow holiday weekend, here are a few interesting notes from ESPN.com's Buster Olney:
- Starting pitching demand may not be sufficient to drive up the salaries of Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Matt Garza, argues Olney. Each member of that trio is rumored to be seeking a major, long-term deal. But as Olney observes, several factors — including the wait for Masahiro Tanaka, possible trade availability of some major arms, and imperfect track record of all three hurlers — could conspire to limit their market.
- One team that "seems bound" to land one of that threesome, according to Olney (via Twitter), is the Mariners.
- Ticking through each team in baseball to gauge possible interest in one of these upper-middle-class starters, Olney includes a few interesting notes on some clubs. For instance, Olney twice notes that the Athletics' Brett Anderson is available via trade and could well be dealt if Oakland brings back Bartolo Colon or another short-term starter. He has previously reported that the Royals might be interested in buying low on Anderson.
- The Mets, meanwhile, "have been looking more at second-tier and third-tier free agents." That fits the most recent rumors out of New York, though it is sure to disappoint those who expect the club to ink at least one major free agent. As I discussed in my offseason outlook for the Mets, the club has professed to have $40MM in payroll space for next year, and so far has committed less than a fifth of that by signing Chris Young.
- Likewise, according to Olney, the Rockies are putting out word that they do not have a lot to spend in free agency. Of course, the club reportedly made legitimate runs at both Jose Dariel Abreu and Brian McCann, though it could be that it was only willing to spend big on certain players.

Matt Garza Open To Returning To Twins
Matt Garza is open to a return to the Twins, Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN reports. Wolfson offers more on Garza, via Twitter, stating that he hears the Twins are more interested in Garza than Ricky Nolasco, despite earlier reports that the Twins are making a "strong push" for Nolasco.
The Twins met with Garza's agent, Nez Balelo of CAA Sports, at this week's GM Meetings in Orlando, Wolfson writes. However, as of this morning, Minnesota hasn't made a formal offer to any of its free agent targets.
Garza has worn three different uniforms since last donning a Twins jersey in 2007. Minnesota selected him in the first round of the 2005 draft and ultimately traded him to the Rays along with Jason Bartlett in an ill-fated deal that netted Delmon Young and Brendan Harris. It's worth pointing out that current GM Terry Ryan was in the GM's chair when Garza was drafted, but had stepped away from the position when Garza was traded. Bill Smith was the Twins' GM at the time of the Garza trade, but he's since been fired, and Ryan has reprised his role as Twins GM.
Garza turned in his seventh straight season of a sub-4.00 ERA in 2013, hurling 155 1/3 innings of 3.82 ERA ball with 7.9 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9. He opened the season on the disabled list but made all of his starts upon returning. Like Nolasco, he was traded midseason and therefore won't require a draft pick to sign.

Los Angeles Notes: Kershaw, Payroll, Nolasco, Dipoto
Clayton Kershaw told Jim Bowden and Casey Stern on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (on Twitter) his contract negotiations with the Dodgers aren't on hold, but they've haven't resumed since the season ended. Kershaw reportedly turned down a $300MM extension offer from the Dodgers earlier this year due to concerns about the length and size of the deal. While it has been assumed that Kershaw will extend his deal with the Dodgers, the baseball world will surely be paying attention to what will likely be the largest contract ever issued to a pitcher.
Here's the latest from both Los Angeles teams…
- "I think, for us, it wouldn't surprise me if we went [through] the winter without a huge move; not that it couldn't happen," Dodgers president Stan Kasten tells MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. "We are looking more at deepening the organization, to fine-tune it and get into the season and see what we need. Having said that, I'm not ruling anything out. But those people who attach us to every free agent out there are making it up." With Kasten prioritizing the Dodgers' farm system, Gurnick finds it unlikely that the club would move what few top prospects it has in a trade for David Price.
- Also from Gurnick, the Dodgers "are kicking the tires" on such free agent pitchers as Ervin Santana, Matt Garza, Hiroki Kuroda, Ubaldo Jimenez, Bartolo Colon and Bronson Arroyo. Given the big salaries some of these pitchers are demanding, you wonder if L.A. would really make a move to sign any given Kasten's earlier comments, though Kuroda, Colon and Arroyo could be had on less expensive, shorter-term deals.
- The Angels aren't one of the teams who have made an offer to Ricky Nolasco, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports (via Twitter). Nolasco is reportedly juggling several three- or four-year contracts offers.
- The rumored discord between Jerry Dipoto and Mike Scioscia could have led to one or both men being fired following the Angels' disappointing season, but Dipoto tells FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi and he and the long-time Halos manager have improved their communication and are on the same page.
- From that same piece, Dipoto reiterated that pitching will be the central focus of the Angels' offseason: "Frankly, we've been focused on [pitching] for a couple years and it's eluded us. We plan on putting our resources toward improving those areas. On the field, that's where our biggest changes are going to come."
- The Angels' defense took a sharp decline from 2012 to 2013, and ESPN's David Schoenfeld thinks that the club should hold onto Peter Bourjos as a way of improving their fielding. Schoenfeld also suggests signing Jhonny Peralta, trading Mark Trumbo and acquiring Felix Doubront from the Red Sox.

Bazooka Tooth - Aesop Rock
- Band Name: Aesop Rock
- Record Label: Definitive Jux
- Release Date: Sep 23, 2003
- Summary: El-P and Mr. Lif guest on Aesop Rock's second LP for the Def Jux label.
- Record Label: Definitive Jux
- Genre(s): Indie, Alternative, Rap
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 16
Mixed: 2 out of 16
Negative: 1 out of 16
It helps to enjoy Aesop's oscillating growl simply as an instrument, considering it may take months before his endless, seemingly im-parse-able, might-be metaphors start making sense.
Regardless of his less than subtle studio technique, Bravitz remains one of the most resourceful and bracing artists in his field.
[His] loquacious, dizzying delivery and disjointed imagery paired with the abstract soundscapes of [El-P and Blockhead] make for occasionally uneasy listening. [Nov 2003, p.108]
It radiates with a confidence fuelled by acolytes and its fun is infectious. But... the angry cynicism coursing through the album creates a distance between its maker and the listener. [#237, p.53]
Every time you think you've got to the bottom of a particular song, another layer of intrigue presents itself. [Oct 2003, p.118]
He doesn't offer an alternative to mainstream rap so much as operate in another world altogether.
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 5
Mixed: 0 out of 5
Negative: 0 out of 5

This is a punning reference to the longer-established term tiger economy, which has been used for about fifteen years to describe the more successful small Asian economies. The original tiger economies were the Four Tigers of Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea, which have been joined more recently by others that include the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia (though these, with Hong Kong, have suffered substantial economic reverses this year, which have affected many Western financial markets).
The Celtic Tiger is the Republic of Ireland, which has benefited very greatly from its membership of the European Union, both through financial aid and through inward investment by companies opening factories in the country to gain access to European markets and take advantage of the country's low rate of corporation tax. As a result, Ireland claims to have been the fastest-growing economy in Europe over the past decade, admittedly from a low base (though some critics claim the figures have been inflated through a sneaky tendency of some multinationals to pretend output comes from Ireland in order to pay less tax, a technique known as transfer pricing). The term is mostly confined to British and Irish business and financial circles, and must be classed as jargon.

November 22, 2014
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied the appeal of a Nebraska death row inmate whose murder case inspired the 1999 film "Boys Don't Cry."
John Lotter and a co-defendant were convicted in the 1993 slaying of Teena Brandon, a 21-year-old woman who lived briefly as a man, and two witnesses to her killing. Lotter has maintained his innocence.
In August, a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Lotter's attempt to appeal his conviction, and his request for the full court to consider his appeal was denied.
Lotter then appealed to the U.S. Supreme. Last week, the nation's high court denied Lotter's request without comment

Congressional Race Sadly Not Decided by Eating Contest
With many incumbents loath to share a stage with their challengers, when they can instead pummel them with direct mail and media buys, congressional debates organized by local media are going the way of the
Dodo birdcompetitive congressional election. So it is in Minnesota's 3rd congressional district, where the incumbent and favorite for re-election Erik Paulsen, has refused to debate his Democratic opponent Brian Barnes.
Issue-oriented voters may be the losers here, but at least this race offers a window on to the future of American politics: future elections will be settled by reality-show themed competitions and eating contests, if creative pols like Barnes have anything to say about it…
"I grew up in 4H, and love the Minnesota State Fair. In addition to agriculture, fine arts, food and music, the Fair has a grand tradition of political debate. If Congressman Paulsen's views are too private to share with Minnesotans, we'll make it simple for him. I challenge him to a contest of cow milking, butter carving or corndog eating — he can take his pick."
Unfortunately, with the Fair ending yesterday, it doesn't appear that Paulsen took up the challenge, but with any luck, politicians will soon be stuffing pork into somewhere other than just their districts.
