Foie Gras in Seattle?
- c
- carcassone Dec 25, 2013 11:02 AM
Coming up from CA, where foie gras is banned. Where can I find good seared foie gras in Seattle?
I found this post but it's over a year old:
Thanks in advance.
re: kaleokahu
I just had the foie torchon at RN74, which was lovely, as was the rest of the meal (with the exception of the pan d' epices on said torchon, which I didn't care for at all). Not sure if they have seared, but it looks like Loulay does. Quinn's usually has some form of foie gras available, but it is not exactly a fancy french setting.
Mistral Kitchen for sure! I've had it at Spur, as well, but it doesn't look like it's on their regular menu so it may have been a special (or they rotated it off).
re: carcassone
i've had lovely experiences at maximilien, and i've had a few bad. i haven't been back in years. they were always hit and miss for me, and other places are as good or better, and more consistent.
re: chartreauxx
Had heard really good things about Maximilien in the past but more recent reviews have been poor. Some friends wanted to meet there of HH a couple of months ago and unfortunately we were very underimpressed. Definitely better places to go.
re: FoodDee
The ONLY reason I would consider Maximillien is because of the view. I don't think any of the restaurants mentioned has a view, is that correct?
re: carcassone
i believe that is correct. i suppose it depends if you're looking for foie, or looking for a view. in my experience, maximilien ranges from quite disappointing to reasonably passable. the real problem is the bill: it's extremely pricey for what you get (IMHO).
however, they also offer a happy hour on from 5-7 M-F. you could go for drinks and apps and get your view on, then go someplace better for dinner. there's even foie on the happy hour menu for $12. if that sounds amenable.
re: chartreauxx
I think the foie on the HH menu is a torchon since it says cured, so probably not what the poster wanted. It sounds like the best bet is going somewhere really good that has foie and someplace else that is good for the view. I'd certainly advise the food and view in the lounge of Aragona over the food and view at Maximilian if they want to stay in the Market area.
re: FoodDee
oops my bad! didn't read the details, just did ctrl-f for "foie" :-) good catch
re: carcassone
i've had good experiences at both lark and at mistral; haven't been to loulay. worth noting: i've eaten both of lark's foie dishes, but i don't believe either was seared. i know the starter is a torchon; i don't specifically remember. they do change their menu up frequently, though, so it might be worth calling to check if you're really set on *seared* foie.
Our favorite place for fois gras is in Fremont --- Bookbindery. Whole menu is fabulous, but fois gras terrine is special!

Drawings of self and best friend by children undergoing dialysis

Drawing is the most natural mode by which children could express their feelings and emotions to others, particularly those with serious medical conditions (Malchiodi, 1999). In this respect children undergoing dialysis have been reported to show extensive distress about their condition and treatment, which necessitates special nursing (Neff, 1987). This paper reports the results of a study on drawings of self and best friend by children undergoing dialysis.

So the hymns in this collection are my attempts to express aspects of a positive progressive theology. They are not meant to give a systematic statement of that theology; there are plenty of topics unaddressed here, and there's plenty of room for a sequel. These hymns are, in the old sense, occasional pieces. They were written for particular occasions in my spiritual journey.read more

Though he lived in the thirteenth century, Meister Eckhart's deeply ecumenical teachings were in many ways modern. He taught about what we call ecology, championed artistic creativity, and advocated for social, economic, and gender justice. All these elements have inspired spiritual maverick Matthew Fox and influenced his Creation Spirituality. Here, Fox creates metaphorical meetings between Eckhart and Teilhard de Chardin, Thich Nhat Hanh, Carl Jung, Black Elk, Rumi, Adrienne Rich, and other radical thinkers. The result is profoundly insightful, substantive, and inspiring.read more
Although major New Testament figures–Jesus and Paul, Peter and James, Jesus' mother Mary and Mary Magdalene–were Jews, living in a culture steeped in Jewish history, beliefs, and practices, there has never been an edition of the New Testament that addresses its Jewish background and the culture from which it grew–until now. In The Jewish Annotated New Testament, eminent experts under the general editorship of Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Z. Brettler put these writings back into the context of their original authors and audiences. And they explain how these writings have affected the relations of Jews and Christians over the past two thousand years.read more
I shall argue in this essay that without the mind's faculty of imagination there would be no philosophy, no art, no music, no mathematics, no science, no religions, and no freedom of choice; that the attempts of religions to limit its expression to habits of identity, aided by the atheistic belief, now common in secular societies, that it must be applied only to material discovery, is the cause of their conflict and religious terrorism; that the crisis in modern education is similarly caused and may be similarly resolved; that the natural function of this faculty is to find manifold ways for minds to communicate, as is demonstrated by its manifestations, as described above; finally, that it is not limited to human minds, for the history of philosophy, which is also the history of humankind, would not be as it is if this were true.read more

Combining the stories and meditation practices from the previous edition of A Pebble for your Pocket with those collected in Under the Rose Apple Tree and several new stories, this completely revised edition is comprised of Buddhist parables and stories from the author's own childhood experiences. They elucidate principles of Buddhism and mindfulness practice, giving young readers and their parents concrete advise on handling difficult emotions like anger. Written in a highly accessible style that doesn't rely on lot of jargon or difficult vocabulary, this collection emphasizes the importance of the present moment through vivid metaphors, original allegories, and colorful stories. Young readers learn about handling anger, living in the present moment, and "interbeing" — the interconnectedness of all things. Thich Nhat Hanh offers various practices that children can do on their own or with others that will help them to transform anger and unhappiness and reconnect to the wonders of nature and the joy of living in the present moment.read more
Bridging the gap between the world of science and the realm of the spiritual, B. Alan Wallace introduces a natural theory of human consciousness that has its roots in contemporary physics and Buddhism. Wallace's "special theory of ontological relativity" suggests that mental phenomena are conditioned by the brain, but do not emerge from it. Rather, the entire natural world of mind and matter, subjects and objects, arises from a unitary dimension of reality that is more fundamental than these dualities, as proposed by Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung.read more
Today, most of the 20 million yoga practitioners in the Western world don't share yoga's Eastern cultural or religious grounding, yet they feel—or seek—a spiritual connection from their practice. Examining yoga's philosophical underpinnings, Sophia Rising reveals how people from any faith can use yoga to create a sacred space inside themselves. Author and yogini Monette Chilson demystifies yoga and explains Sophia– Greek for Wisdom– the iconic face of the feminine divine found in Western religious traditions. Through information and example, she invites readers to listen for the inner voice of Sophia and meld their own spiritual beliefs with their yoga.read more

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. (AP) -- Officials in Southern California say someone has been buying Girl Scout cookies with counterfeit cash.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has released photos of a woman entering and leaving a grocery store who they say is a person of interest in the case of the phony dough. The photos show a young woman with long black hair, jeans, sneakers and a black hooded sweatshirt. No names or other identifying details have been released.
Police in Lake Elsinore learned last week that someone had bought Girl Scout cookies outside a grocery store with counterfeit currency, and were looking for a suspect who had not been seen since.

A New Jersey forest fire continued to grow Wednesday (10/22), engulfing 1,200 acres since the blaze began on Tuesday (10/21).
While firefighters are making progress containing it, they do face the problem of increasing wind gusts that are fanning the flames across the southern part of the state.
According to head of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Maris Gabliks, four homes could be in danger. Residents of two other homes were evacuated when the fire left them without electricity.
150 firefighters used pumper trucks, helicopters and a firefighting plane to battle the blaze. Aerial video revealed helicopters making drops of water onto the remaining flames below.
So far, two injuries have been reported. One officer was hit by a car while directing traffic and declined medical attention. A firefighter has been released from the hospital after experiencing chest pains at the site.

People around the world have enjoyed alkaline, or mineral water, for centuries. The bubbly water has been a source of entertainment and health benefits ever since the first spring was discovered.
The first spas were founded at these springs, as places for people to go when they need to relax and recover from the hazards of daily life. Now, it is no longer needed to make the far trek into the mountains to find this lovely water. It can be purchased at any store and online from one of hundreds of different producers.
Users of alkaline water enjoy numerous health benefits when they consume this beverage. Here are a few of them:
Supplies minerals not easily found in a modern diet
Calcium is a vital mineral for healthy bones and bodies. Even with the incorporation of dairy products into Western diets, few people actually ingest enough of the mineral to prevent their bones from weakening.
This is especially true for women, both during pregnancy and when they are tossing pennies into the fountain of youth. Alkaline water provides a good source of these nutrients, while avoiding the unpleasant complications of eating too much dairy.
Cuts out soda pop and sickly sweet beverages
Alkaline water is often a treat in and of itself. The sparkling water just feels good in the mouth, with the bubbles providing a wonderful experience. This natural carbonation was so useful in attracting customers that the first soda companies implemented it in their beverage designs, and the rest is history.
With medical news describing the dangers of sugar and high fructose corn syrup, any attempt to avoid ingesting these substances is laudable.
If you wish to have some flavor to go with the water, sprinkle in a little bit of fruit juice. This is a nice and healthy way to have your cake and eat it too.
Its water
Alkaline water is just plain good old fashioned water, with minerals and natural carbonation. It is vital to avoid dehydration throughout the day, and a good bottle of water is a surefire way to accomplish this.
It is a good idea to always have some water nearby, regardless of what you are doing. Between running after the kids, juggling projects at work, or going to the gym, your body is under constant stress that causes it to use water.
Replenish it in style, use a bottle of alkaline water and enjoy the additional health benefits the minerals brings to the users of alkaline water.
Alkaline water is one of the few truly healthy beverages found in nature. It is simply water, filled with the minerals one needs to have a healthy life. In this fast paced world where a healthy diet is next to impossible, being able to just grab a beverage and knock some minerals off your to-eat list is a good thing.
Let the natural carbonation tickle the taste buds as you open a bottle. When you do so, enjoy the knowledge you are partaking in a delight that has been known for hundreds of years.

7 December 1999 Adelaide, Australia - Russian-born pole vaulter Tatiana Grigorieva has cleared a major obstacle in her bid to compete for Australia at next year's Sydney Olympic Games.
Grigorieva had her Australian citizenship confirmed late
Monday after encountering problems meeting requirements that she complete two
uninterrupted years as a resident.
She won an appeal on the basis that husband and fellow Olympic pole vaulting medal prospect Viktor Chistiakov was granted citizenship earlier this year.
The news came on the eve of the couple leaving with coach Vitali Petrov for a one-month training camp in Poland, where they will prepare for the European indoor season from next month. Their manager Rick Carter said this week's ruling had lifted a huge emotional burden for Grigorieva.
Russia cleared the former unior hurdler to compete for Australia but the clearance enabled her to represent Australia only at certain events, such as this year's Seville IAAF World Championships, where she won a bronze medal.

Sensex may test 16000 levels at least: Marc Faber, Editor, The Gloom, Boom & Doom
January 20, 2011
ET Now
In an interview with ET Now, Marc Faber , Editor of The Gloom, Boom & Doom, says the Indian markets will remain range-bound for the next few months and can retrace 16000 levels at least. He advises investors to accumulate gold and silver gradually. 2011 has started on an unexpected note. Emerging markets have come down and developed markets, like Europe and the US, have scaled up. It was not entirely unexpected to me because since March 2009, emerging markets have significantly outperformed developed ones and through easy monetary policies in the US, we created bubbles in the emerging economies, particularly in terms of inflation.

The transition of the Indian economy from a developing to a developed one cannot happen without strong infrastructure in place. The fact that huge investments are scheduled for the infrastructure sector is also not a secret anymore. Marc Faber commented that 7% to 8% growth in the Indian economy can come from developing infrastructure alone. Budget 2005-06 had laid a lot of emphasis on infrastructure and the forthcoming budget is expected to continue with the good work. It is not surprising then that infrastructure is the flavor of the season.
India calling: The best place for investment

"The best story is one based on domestic consumption, India is one," says emerging market evangelist Robert Lloyd George in ET Big Bucks' exclusive 'Foreign Hand' series VISIONARIES are people ahead of the majority, often by many years. For example, Jim Rogers, the investment guru who recently lectured in India, started talking about a commodity cycle upturn in the mid-'90s. The world at large caught up around three years ago. Similarly, Marc Faber had turned bullish on Japan four years ago but global money started flowing into Japan around only a year ago. Far more low profile than both Rogers and Faber, Robert Lloyd George is a man with a vision and a pretty farsighted one at that.

Dr Marc Faber is a capitalist to the bone. Of Swiss origin, Faber earned his doctorate in economics at the University of Zurich, though by his own admission he spent "more time on the slopes as a member of the Swiss University ski team than attending lectures". He then worked as managing director of Drexel Burnham Lambert in Hong Kong, transacting millions of infamous junl bonds. Almost by habit, the ponytailed international finan-cial adviser Faber, 60, has many things to say against communism and socialism.
Sensex ends past 10K, its another day in paradise
February 8, 2006
MUMBAI: Global investment guru Marc Faber was at Dalal Street on Tuesday, interacting with the market fraternity on prospects of the Indian stock market. His word of caution, however, could not dampen the spirits, as investors continued to celebrate, lifting the sensex to close above the 10K mark for the first time in history. According to brokers, the mood remained bullish on the back of strong FII inflows and robust economic data. The government, today, forecast a GDP growth of 8.1% in the current year, with manufacturing and the agriculture sectors estimated to grow at 9.4% and 2.3%, respectively.

"Buy any property you want...even a beach resort," said Marc Faber on his recent visit to India. This is the general exuberance that exists in the real estate market in India. Almost everyone who invested in a property in the last 2-3 years has made good money. If you are planning to buy a house, there are certain things you need to be aware of. First of all, zero in on a location which is not that difficult to do. Greater Noida of Delhi, Goregaon, Malad and Mulund of Mumbai, MG Road of Banglaore, Old Mahabalipuram road of Chennai and Rajarhat of Kolkata are places to watch out, according to consultants.

Commodity boom turns bust as economy crumbles
January 2, 2009
Commodity prices in 2008 plunged the most in five decades as demand for energy, metals and grains tumbled in the second half because of the recession. From July to December, the slumping economy drove crude oil, gasoline, copper, corn, and wheat down from records in the first half. In 2008, the Reuters/Jefferies CRB index of 19 raw materials fell 36%, the most since the gauge debuted in 1956, to 229.54. It rose to a record 473.97 on July 3. On December 5, the measure dropped to the lowest since August 2002.
In hindsight, FIIs aren't a happy lot
July 13, 2004
MUMBAI: India is a litmus test for many travellers and some are only too happy to leave, while others stay for a lifetime, says the lonely planet guide on India. Foreign institutional investors, who have an exposure of over $26bn in India, are undergoing a similar litmus test. If there is sweet talk on one side about the long-term growth story in India remaining intact, there is also strong resentment about an increase in the government bureaucracy through creation of new departments.

|Red Sox exploring rotation depth alternatives
|05.18.11 at 11:47 pm ET
With both Daisuke Matsuzaka and John Lackey on the disabled list, and the Red Sox having inserted both Alfredo Aceves and Tim Wakefield into the rotation, the team will explore depth options outside the organization, according to a team source.
MLB Network and NESN analyst Peter Gammons said on the Mut & Merloni Show on Wednesday that the Sox were exploring available veterans such as Kevin Millwood, who opted out of a minor-league deal with the Yankees in early May after going 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts in their minor league system (including an 8.00 ERA with 14 hits allowed in nine innings in Triple-A).
Though a workhorse, Millwood has suffered diminished effectiveness in recent years, and last year he went 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA in 190 2/3 innings while striking out 132 for the Orioles. The 36-year-old went unsigned until reaching his minor league deal with the Yankees late in spring training.
Nonetheless, the Sox' search for pitching suggests the challenging position in which the team finds itself. With both Wakefield and Aceves now in the majors, the team's major league ready depth options are limited. The only starter on the 40-man roster — Felix Doubront — is currently sidelined by a mild left groin strain. While farm director Mike Hazen said that his rehab should proceed quickly once he is cleared to throw off a mound, he is currently unavailable.
The other members of the PawSox rotation — Andrew Miller, Kyle Weiland and Brandon Duckworth — aren't on the 40-man roster. Moreover, all of them have their limitations. Miller (1-2, 2.80) has been overpowering at times, but he has walked 28 (against 31 strikeouts) in his 35 1/3 innings, even though opponents are hitting just .157 against him. Weiland (3-4, 3.83, 45 strikeouts, 20 walks in 40 innings) is considered an unfinished product given that he is just in his second month in Triple-A. Duckworth (4-2, 3.27) is a viable spot starter, but doesn't have the track record of major league success to exceed that job description.
And so, the Sox will explore all their options — while hoping that Aceves and Wakefield pitch well enough that the pursuit is simply for minor league depth purposes, rather than representing a desperate need at the major league level.
|Sox pitching staff in flux amidst concerns about health of Lackey, Daisuke
|05.17.11 at 5:24 pm ET
The results were nothing short of alarming. When Daisuke Matsuzaka walked seven in 4 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and five runs to the Orioles, the Red Sox felt that it was time to have the right-hander checked out to see if there was a physical problem.
And so, on Tuesday, Matsuzaka was sent for an MRI on his right elbow. The Sox were awaiting the results to determine if a roster move might be made, with the team prepared to move "expeditiously" (in the words of manager Terry Francona) to DL him and call up a reliever (Michael Bowden would be an obvious candidate — he has a 1.59 ERA in 22 2/3 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket) prior to Tuesday's game.
UPDATE: The Sox intend to place Matsuzaka on the disabled list prior to the next game, at which time Bowden will be added to the roster.
"Talking about [Matsuzaka's] elbow, whether it's sore or he's afraid to get to a point where it'll get sore, that's what we're trying to figure out. So we got the MRI and hopefully in the next hour or so we'll have something to kind of go by," Francona said at 4 pm. "There's no reason to really do anything until we get the results back and talk to the medical people. Obviously, if there's a need to do something, we'd like to do it expeditiously ' get that ' because maybe we could get a reliever in the meantime or somebody to help us through. We're trying to do it in timely fashion."
With Matsuzaka's elbow being checked and John Lackey having been placed on the disabled list on Monday for his elbow strain, it is a time when the Sox' rotation depth will be tested. The team is comfortable that in Tim Wakefield (scheduled to start on Tuesday against the Orioles, in place of Lackey) and Alfredo Aceves, it has viable options.
"I don't know that any team wants to go seven, eight deep, especially in a two-day period, losing two-fifths of your rotation. Wake has done it for a long time. Wake's done it since I was a little kid," joked Francona. "Actually, Aceves, we sort of maybe wanted to see what he could do as a starter. That's why we signed him. Every time we send him down, we keep telling him to get stretched out because he might be a starter. We don't like the reasons why. But we think we're going to be OK."
Of course, if both Wakefield and Aceves end up in the rotation, it would have a cascading effect on the bullpen. Wakefield has been a long man, while Aceves has emerged as something of a setup man to pitch either in the sixth or seventh inning (as he did on Sunday night in the win over the Yankees) or when the team is trailing in a close game (as he did in earning the victory on Monday night with three innings against Baltimore).
"He's kind of taken that sixth, seventh type inning where he can face lefties and righties. That's something to think about," said Francona. "We have to figure out a way to get around that."
Of course, the Sox appear close to getting at least one option back. Dan Wheeler, who had an 11.32 ERA in eight games before landing on the DL with a calf strain, is eligible to come off the DL on Friday. He has thrown 2 2/3 shutout innings in Pawtucket on a rehab assignment, and Francona said that there is no reason to expect that he won't come off the DL when he is eligible to do so.
Bobby Jenks remains a bit further away from returning, though he threw on Tuesday from 60 feet on flat ground. He'll increase that distance on Wednesday, though given that he went 11 days without throwing, he will almost surely require a rehab assignment before he's ready to return to the majors.
"When you've got a no-throw for a while, I don't know how fair that would be not to [have him take a minor league assignment]," said Francona.
As for Lackey, he will spend the next few days "down," in Francona's words. It is not known precisely when he will begin throwing again. Francona said that the starter had an MRI that had revealed the strain, but that it was unclear whether he was dealing with the condition during his mot recent outings, which featured particularly poor results.
"There's a lot of gray area there. If you talk to a starting pitcher, if they make 35 starts, I bet they'll tell you they feel good physically for about six or seven," said Francona. "So, you know, I actually, what I told you guys yesterday was about as honest as I can be. We didn't feel a rush to do anything because we knew that we could cover the spot today [with Wakefield]. If he was OK, we were going to let him pitch. We know he's been having a rough time, but we also know that he's a pretty good professional pitcher and we feel like he's going to turn it around. Now, all of a sudden, you start about someone being tender or sore or hurt, that makes it a little bit tougher. Then you've got a guy who wants to pitch through it. We respect that. So we put our heads together, talked with the medical people, talked with Lack and took it out of his hands.
"That would be terrific if this little shut-down really helps him, he feels good and he starts throwing, is ready to come back right when it's time to come off. I don't know if that's the case. I hope it is."
With John Lackey scratched from Tuesday night's scheduled start and placed on the 15-day disabled list with an elbow strain, the second game of the Red Sox-Orioles short two-game series will turn into the latest example of age-old battle between youth and experience. Boston starter Tim Wakefield, who at 44 years young is the oldest active player in Major League Baseball, will try to best Baltimore rookie hurler Zach Britton to give the Sox their fifth win in a row.
This will be the third start of the season for Wakefield (0-1, 5.40 ERA), all of which will have come in the month of May. His first start on May 1 against the Mariners saw the knuckleballer pitch more than admirably as he held Seattle to just four base runners and one run over 5-2/3 innings. However, his next start on May 6 did not nearly go as well. Wakefield, who was pitching on one just day of rest, couldn't survive the fifth inning and allowed eight runs (six earned) on nine hits and four walks in a 9-2 loss to the Twins. For what it's worth, Wakefield will be pitching on five-days rest when he takes the mound Tuesday.
In 50 appearances (35 starts) against Baltimore, the knuckleballer is 16-13 with a 4.13 ERA. But against these current set of O's, he has been quite hit-or-miss. For every Brian Roberts (.170 average in 48 career plate appearances) or Nick Markakis (.185 in 29), there is a Vladimir Guerrero (.480, 5 HR, 9 RBI) or Derrek Lee (.571).
At the other end of the age spectrum, Britton (5-2, 2.42) is an early-season favorite for the American League Rookie of the Year award. The 23-year-old lefty has allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts, including a six-inning, one-run effort against Boston back on April 26 and a complete-game, three-hit performance in his last start against Seattle. Leadoff man Jacoby Ellsbury was the only Sox hitter to lace an extra-base hit off Britton in the latter's only career start against the team. Read the rest of this entry »
|Red Sox pregame notes: As the bullpen turns…
|05.06.11 at 7:06 pm ET
One comes in, one goes out.
The Red Sox made their official move to add Alfredo Aceves to the roster on Friday. In order to do so, they will designate Scott Atchison for assignment before the game so that he can be optioned to Pawtucket via major league waivers. Technically, another team could claim Atchison, but there's a sort of working understanding among major league teams that players will not be claimed who have options remaining, and so it is a procedural technicality en route to sending the reliever back to Triple-A Pawtucket.
After Atchison logged 3 2/3 innings on Thursday, the Sox needed to replace him with a fresh arm. In Aceves, who was pulled from his scheduled start for the PawSox on Thursday, they found that man.
"We kind of did what we didn't want to do with Atch, which is bring him up for a day and then send him back but I think we felt it was the safest thing to do for our staff. He gave us so much, which we appreciate," said manager Terry Francona. "At the same time, he wasn't going to pitch for awhile. Unfortunately for Atch, he's the guy we can do it with. He'll be back."
Aceves will be available in the bullpen. This is his second call-up of the season. He had an impressive stretch in the majors in April, forging a 2.25 ERA and holding opponents to a .179 average (6-for-28) in six appearances, but he was sent back down to Pawtucket in order to stretch him out for the rotation.
"It is a business," said Aceves. "Back and forth, you don't know where you're going to be."
The right-hander said that he is comfortable with any role, and that he didn't face a transition in moving between the rotation and bullpen.
"I'm a pitcher," said Aceves. "That's what I do. It doesn't matter if it's as a starter or a closer or a reliever."
–One byproduct of the Red Sox rotation shuffle in the aftermath of Wednesday's 13-inning game: The Sox will have Clay Buchholz pitch on Saturday on four days' rest, then turn to Daisuke Matsuzaka on Sunday (almost a week and a half removed from his previous start on April 29), Josh Beckett on Monday (four days' rest) and, finally, have Jon Lester pitch on six days' rest on Tuesday.
Once Wakefield was re-inserted into the rotation, the Sox wanted to use the opportunity to give Lester an extra breather — something that the team has now been able to accomplish with each of its starters at this young stage of the season. Read the rest of this entry »
Tim Wakefield will look to get the Red Sox back on track Friday night when he takes the mound for his second start of the season. In his first start on Sunday, Wakefield held the Mariners to one run on three hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings, but he ended up with a no-decision as the Sox needed a Carl Crawford walk-off single to get the win.
Wakefield has plenty of experience against the Twins as a franchise — he's 14-6 with a 4.31 ERA in 27 career outings against them — but only six current Twins have faced him (excluding Joe Mauer, who is currently on the disabled list). Jason Kubel, who's hitting .273 in 11 at-bats, is the only Twin with a home run off Wakefield. Denard Span has the highest average, as he's hitting .429 in seven ABs.
For Minnesota, it will be Scott Baker on the hill. Baker struggled out of the gate this season and lost his first two starts, but he's been much better of late, posting three straight quality starts. Although he has just one win during that span, he has lowered his ERA from 6.55 to 3.16 by allowing just three runs in 20 1/3 innings.
Baker has faced the Sox once in each of the last four seasons and is 0-2 with a 4.35 ERA against them, having lost his last two starts. Current Sox are hitting .286 against Baker. Mike Cameron has two homers and three RBIs in just seven ABs against him, while Crawford and J.D. Drew are both batting over .400. Read the rest of this entry »
|Peter Gammons on M&M: 'I'm just such a believer' in Jacoby Ellsbury
|05.04.11 at 12:49 pm ET
MLB Network analyst Peter Gammons made his weekly appearance on the Mut & Merloni show Wednesday to discuss the Red Sox' resurgence. Gammons said Sunday's win over the Mariners, when Tim Wakefield stepped in for Clay Buchholz and pitched a strong game, might prove to be the game that got the Sox in gear.
"I think the mental hurdle of having to go to Tim Wakefield, have him step up big, and winning a game started by Felix Hernandez, I think that gave them a little sigh of relief," Gammons said.
Jacoby Ellsbury has been on a tear of late and looks very comfortable in the leadoff spot. "I'm still a believer that there's a lot there that we haven't seen with him being a greater player," Gammons said. "Because I think he can bunt. I don't think he's ever going to be a guy who gets 100 walks, but he can get that on-base percentage up higher.
"When he gets on base, everybody on the field moves. That dash home from second base last night when [Vernon] Wells made such a great play on it, just a little single, was just classic Jacoby Ellsbury ' his speed, his athleticism."
Added Gammons: "I'm just such a believer."
Josh Beckett is scheduled to pitch Wednesday after having this start pushed back so that he had six days between outings, although the team insists he isn't injured. "I think his elbow was a little tired. That's sort of the impression that I got," Gammons said. "Again, they're being very cautious, like taking [Jon] Lester out last night. And I don't think that's a bad thing in April and May, to be very cautious.
"I think they just want to stay away from creating panic. But I think there was something in there that said, OK, he was tired. And you don't want to blow him out in the first week of May. So, I think that's why they're being so cautious. But there's no question there was something ' there had to be something there. I was told by some coaches, well, it's just something we're not going to talk about now. They didn't seem worried about, but they were cautious about it. And that's a good thing. Because Josh is the type who will go out and pitch no matter what. And that could be an issue."
Reliever Bobby Jenks has had some hiccups of late, but Gammons said the team doesn't appear to be concerned. "I think it's that combination of the psychological and the mechanical," he said. "But his stuff has been so good that they're not really worried about it. I think they think in time he's going to be fine pitching the seventh and eighth innings.
"And I do think that [Matt] Albers has been a surprise. His stuff's always been there. I think it's better than it used to be. I was talking to a friend of mine on the Astros who said when he was good there, he was 91-93. He's been 94-95 all along with a lot of movement. He might be a big surprise for them."
|Red Sox vs. Angels pregame notes: The reshaped rotation
|05.02.11 at 5:29 pm ET
The stomach flu has been a pox upon the Red Sox in recent days. Not only did it mean that Clay Buchholz had to get pushed back from his scheduled start on Sunday (granted, that worked out fine for the Sox when Tim Wakefield allowed the team to beat Felix Hernandez and the Mariners), but also because Angels ace Jered Weaver – who was slated to pitch on Sunday against the Rays — got pushed back to Monday against the Sox after he endured a gastrointestinal protest.
Weaver carries a ridiculous 6-0 record and 0.99 ERA into Fenway Park for his start, continuing a run where the Sox have had to face several elite starters in the season's first five weeks.
"This guy's good tonight. He's feeling pretty good about himself. He's leading the league in almost everything," said Sox manager Terry Francona. "We might not knock him all over the ballpark, but it's kind of satisfying when you can find a way to beat him."
While Buchholz will be tasked with facing Weaver tonight, the Sox have now set up their rotation for the rest of the week. After Jon Lester makes his scheduled start on Tuesday, Josh Beckett (six days rest) will pitch on Wednesday, John Lackey (four days rest) will pitch on Thursday and Daisuke Matsuzaka (seven days rest) will take the mound on Friday.
Matsuzaka came out of his start on Friday with a stiff elbow. Though he says he feels fine, the Sox wanted to exert some caution with based on the injury.
"Dice came out of the game the other day. We're trying to buy him a couple days. He says he doesn't need it. If somebody comes out like that, we'd like to make sure they're OK," said Francona. "We had him down for a day, then he played catch. Now he'll start his normal five-day cycle. Trying to take advantage of the time off, give a day off."
Meanwhile, Francona said that the team wanted to give Beckett a bit of a breather after the team "leaned on [him] pretty hard there a couple games." With no off days scheduled until May 12, the team felt like it wanted to give the right-hander (who is 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA in five starts) extra rest now at a time when Wakefield's start made it easy to do so, particularly in the aftermath of a 125-pitch workload two starts ago in Anaheim.
"Part of it, not because of the way he's pitching, because he's pitching great, just wanted to try to get everybody situated where they all feel as good about themselves as they can physically. I think, this was just, to give them that day was important," said Francona. "That game in Anaheim … pitch counts are pitch counts, but there's a reason we probably watch stuff like that. We just want to monitor their workload so he can go out, be Beckett."
Beckett had a 25-pitch bullpen session on Monday afternoon, which Francona said went without a hitch. The manager said that the pitcher was on board with the idea of additional rest for this start.
"Just in talking to him, again we talk to all of them, we have the opportunity so it made sense," said Francona. "We leaned on him pretty hard. There's no days off coming up. When you have the ability to give a guy an extra day, sometimes you've got to take it, because we won't be able to going forward for a couple weeks. … We keep an eye on the workload. It's not just the starters. It's the relievers. We talk about health and production going hand in hand all the time."
With the tweaked rotation, the Sox will still have two days between the starts by Beckett and Matsuzaka, something that presumably will make it easier for Jason Varitek to continue to catch both of them.
–The fact that the Sox feel their starters can benefit an extra day underscored the value of having a pitcher such as Wakefield in the bullpen who can step in for a spot start, thus giving members of the rotation extra rest in stretches of the schedule that feature few off days.

Candia reconsiders city high school agreement
CANDIA - The Candia School Board has taken the first step toward making it easier for town parents to pull their children from Manchester High School Central and send them to another high school.
A policy change - given a first round of approval this week - would remove the requirement that parents prove "educational hardship" to switch their children to a high school in another town.
The vote on changing the policy came Tuesday, the day after Candia School Board members attended a special meeting of the Manchester Board of School Committee to air concerns about overcrowding in the financially strapped Manchester high schools.
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas adjourned the meeting without allowing Candia parents to speak.
"We are so incredibly focused on education, when we went, we expected to have a good meeting with Manchester," said Candia School Board Vice Chairman Nicole LaFlamme. "Mayor Gatsas made it very clear by not being willing to listen to the parents his true feelings toward Candia."
LaFlamme said Gatsas' refusal to listen to parents led to discussions by the Candia board to make it easier for parents to send their children to high schools in other communities
"He had an opportunity to speak to our community members," LaFlamme said. "He had a great opportunity, a huge opportunity right there to make amends with the entire community. We gave him an opportunity at every turn, and he slammed the door."
Gatsas said that as chairman of what was technically a special meeting of the Manchester board, he had to follow established board rules.
"I'm sorry if she felt offended," Gatsas said. "I know they have their rules in Candia and we have our rules in Manchester, and the rules of the board are there is not public participation in a special meeting."
Gatsas said he is willing to listen to parents from Candia, whether it's one-on-one or in a public forum.
"I have no problem listening to anybody," Gatsas said. "They can call me on the phone, they can come to my office, they can come to our meetings."
The Manchester board schedules public discussion periods at its regular meetings.
Tuesday's vote was the first of two required for a change in Candia School Board policies. A second vote could be taken at the board's regular meeting next Thursday.
At the joint meeting with the Manchester board, Candia board members presented the city with two options: Make sure Manchester's high schools meet state standards, or release Candia from the contract.
About 40 Candia parents attended the Manchester session meeting, which town board had said was a chance for parents to "have their voices heard."
The Candia board intends to continue its talks with Manchester, and has asked the city's Board of School Committee for a second meeting this month.

text: Economists Warn of Second Fiscal Cliff Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 14 Oct 2012 post a comment While discussions about the so-called fiscal cliff dominate the political world, there may be other factors on the horizon that could send America toward another fiscal cliff. Such issues arise no matter how Congress deals with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and the mandated budget cuts during the lame duck session of Congress. According to the Washington Post: A payroll tax cut benefiting 160 million workers is scheduled to expire at the end of the year, as are unemployment benefits for millions of people. Also on tap are new taxes on the wealthy and cuts in tens of billions of dollars in domestic and defense spending that will occur regardless of the fiscal cliff. Economists have noted these changes could "reduce growth by at least one percentage point and leave at least 1 million more people jobless." The payroll tax cut, which is scheduled to expire next year, was enacted in December of 2012 and lowered the Social Security tax from 6.2% to 4.2%, which gave families on average an extra $1,000. The government also, according to the Post, must "trim about $60 billion from domestic and defense spending next year" regardless of what occurs during the lame duck session of Congress. Meanwhile, if unemployment benefits expire, consumer spending will go down, and this will be coupled with even more tax increases on upper-income earners because of Obamacare. According to Moody's Analytics, together "these changes could do at least as much to slow the economy as any other government action in the past half-century." Some analysts, like Alex Brill of the American Enterprise Institute, do not favor approaches that "use to tax code as a turn-it-on, turn-it-off tool "for managing the quarter-to-quarter performance of the economy" and instead favored permanent tax policy reform. Mark Zandi, of Moody's, also said the government should the payroll tax cut to expire even if it causes short-term pain. Analysts also noted if the U.S. government does not tackle the debt, consumers, companies, and the government could face higher borrowing costs. After Standard & Poor's downgraded America's credit rating, the Post notes U.S. cannot afford another major agency to follow suit because "many types of investors, such as pension funds, cannot buy bonds if they do not carry the highest ratings of two agencies."

Belmont police: Two men sought in armed robbery of taxi driver
At 8:10 p.m., police received a report of an armed robbery that had just taken place on Old Marsh Hill Road where the road meets Province Road.
A driver from Mr. C's Taxi Service reported that a driver had picked up two men on Messer Street in Laconia. The men asked to go to Brown Hill Road in Belmont, police said.
While on Route 107 before reaching Brown Hill Road, one man put a gun to the back of the driver's head and told him to pullover. At that point, according to police, the other man put a knife to the driver's throat. The men demanded cash from the driver, and escaped the cab with about $350, said Lt. Richard Mann.
The men fled on foot on Old Marsh Hill Road. Laconia, Gilford and Gilmanton police assisted Belmont police in making a perimeter search of the robbery site. The Gilford police dog unit tried to track the men, but police think the men may have gotten into a vehicle.
Police are following leads, but hope the community helps to identify the men.
"We could use the public's help," Mann said.
The first suspect is described as a white male, 25 to 30 years old, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 inches tall with a heavy build; he was wearing a multicolored hooded sweatshirt.
The second suspect is described as a black male, 25 to 30 years old, about 6 feet tall with an average build; he was wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and a red baseball cap with a flat rim.
Anyone with information about the crime is encouraged to contact the Belmont police at 267-8350 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

Wired connection to router consistently drops
Likes # 0
Posted September 5, 2013 at 7:12PM
I am currently using Comcast internet through a wired ethernet connection to a Arris TG862 modem/router combo, and I'm having a very annoying issue. I'm also using Windows 7.
My internet connection is fine for basic use, but when I attempt to do something that requires a consistent connection (gaming, in this case), I will consistently drop connection and lose all connection to the router for roughly 10-30 seconds before it comes back up.
This is consistent across multiple online services (GWFL, Uplay, Steam, Origin, etc.) and only seems to come into play when using them, most notably with GFWL. Beyond that, I generally don't have issues connecting to and browsing websites, including flash sites like Youtube.
I assume that it might be an issue with the ethernet cable itself, but as I have to run a line through my basement to connect to my computer, I want to see if there's a different issue before I commit to replacing it.
Thanks for any advice or assistance you can offer me.

Explore Cardiac MRI
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is strongly committed to supporting research aimed at preventing and treating heart, lung, and blood diseases and conditions and sleep disorders.
NHLBI-supported research has led to many advances in medical knowledge and care. For example, this research has helped look for better ways to diagnose and evaluate heart problems using methods such as cardiac MRI.
The NHLBI continues to support research on various testing methods, including cardiac MRI. For example, NHLBI-sponsored research includes studies that:
Much of this research depends on the willingness of volunteers to take part in clinical trials. Clinical trials test new ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat various diseases and conditions.
For example, new treatments for a disease or condition (such as medicines, medical devices, surgeries, or procedures) are tested in volunteers who have the illness. Testing shows whether a treatment is safe and effective in humans before it is made available for widespread use.
By taking part in a clinical trial, you can gain access to new treatments before they're widely available. You also will have the support of a team of health care providers, who will likely monitor your health closely. Even if you don't directly benefit from the results of a clinical trial, the information gathered can help others and add to scientific knowledge.
If you volunteer for a clinical trial, the research will be explained to you in detail. You'll learn about treatments and tests you may receive, and the benefits and risks they may pose. You'll also be given a chance to ask questions about the research. This process is called informed consent.
If you agree to take part in the trial, you'll be asked to sign an informed consent form. This form is not a contract. You have the right to withdraw from a study at any time, for any reason. Also, you have the right to learn about new risks or findings that emerge during the trial.
For more information about clinical trials related to cardiac MRI, talk with your doctor. You also can visit the following Web sites to learn more about clinical research and to search for clinical trials:
For more information about clinical trials for children, visit the NHLBI's Children and Clinical Studies Web page.

Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a medical strategy, treatment, or device is safe and effective for humans. To find clinical trials that are currently underway for Cardiac MRI, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.
