Rodriguez says he hasn't decided if he'll leave Yankees; agent has plan in mind
If Alex Rodriguez opts out of his contract with the Yankees -- and as of Monday night's loss to Cleveland, it's still a big if because Rodriguez wasn't giving any hints and said he hasn't even thought about it -- his agent Scott Boras will prepare one of his trademark free agent books based on the premise that Rodriguez is the most valuable player in baseball history.
After the World Series, Rodriguez has 10 days to opt out of the final three years and $81 million of his contract. The Yankees would like to extend him before he hits the market because Texas is still paying more than $20 million of Rodriguez's contract.
Rodriguez deflected discussions of his contract in the Yankees' clubhouse Monday night.
"I don't want to talk about that right now," he told reporters. "I'm trying to digest what just happened. There will be a time and a place for that."
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said on Tuesday that if the Yankees can't extend Rodriguez's contract before he opts opts-out, Cashman will recommend not re-signing Rodriguez as a free agent. Cashman could be overruled as owner George Steinbrenner told the Bergen Record he thinks that the Yankees will re-sign Rodriguez.
Rodriguez again professed his admiration for New York after the Yankees were eliminated on Monday.
A-Rod Worth A Lot
Alex Rodriguez has an impressive career resume, which figures only to grow. Some of his career highlights:
• Youngest ever to hit 300 HR, 400 HR, 450 HR, 500 HR
• 6 straight 40-HR seasons; 10 straight 30-HR seasons
• 3 50-HR seasons
• 2 MVPs (2003 & 2005)
In addition, he's on the short list of players who have led baseball in home runs, RBIs and runs in the same season:
Player | HR | RBIs | Runs |
Alex Rodriguez, 2007 | 54 | 156 | 143 |
Roger Maris, 1961 | 61 | 142 | 132 |
Mickey Mantle, 1956 | 52 | 130 | 132 |
Johnny Mize, 1947 | 51 | 138 | 137 |
Ted Williams, 1942 | 36 | 137 | 141 |
"I love New York," Rodriguez, his eyes bloodshot, said. "Again, for me, as a player, to come full circle in New York, it's the most comfortable I've felt and hopefully things work out."
Boras did not say what he would advise Rodriguez to do.
"The right of free agency has probably never been more valuable to a single player than it would be to someone like Alex Rodriguez," Boras said during a phone interview with 1050 ESPN New York conducted prior to the Yankees ALDS loss to the Indians. "The reason being is that he is a stature player, a durable player, an iconic player and he has had a historic season. Again, these are decisions that Alex has to make. He is certainly happy in New York and has enjoyed playing there."
Boras, known as one of baseball's shrewdest and most hard-nosed negotiators, tipped his hand Monday as to what negotiations would be like if Rodriguez opts out. He said he will tell prospective bidders that Rodriguez could play until he is 45, which will allow him to not only become baseball's all-time home run king, but also the all-time hits leader. If those accomplishments are within reach, Boras said he will argue that Rodriguez will be worth somewhere between a half-billion and a billion dollars over a decade to a team's regional sports network.
"One of the other things that Alex has that some of the other things that Alex has that few players have is he has network value," Boras said. "That means for a regional sports network he has an impact on in that may allow that regional sports network to increase by a half-a-billion to a billion dollars over a 10-year period because of the ratings increase that he will bring. His fan base will subscribe to that network to watch him play and they will sell more advertising. This has certainly been evidenced in New York."
It's nearly impossible to quantify the relationship an individual player has to a regional sports network. The ratings for YES -- the Yankees-owned regional sports network in the greater New York area -- have climbed with Rodriguez on the team.
According to numbers provided by YES, ratings in 2003, the year prior to Rodriguez's arrival, were 3.2 for the season. In 2004 and 2005 -- Rodriguez' first two seasons -- the ratings jumped to 4.6 and 4.5 respectively.
In 2006, YES ratings dipped to 4.3, but this season the numbers peaked at 4.7. There are countless factors for these ratings, including having marquee players. Rodriguez, of course, is not the only star on the Yankees.
ESPN Radio: Scott Boras
Scott Boras discussed the appeal free agency holds for his client, Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez, with 1050 ESPN Radio in New York. Listen
More from Boras:
• Rodriguez' value
• Will Rodriguez break the career hit record? http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/player?context=audio&id=3055704
Most estimates say that if YES were sold it would be worth more than a billion dollars.
Boras thinks that Rodriguez's pursuit of the home run record will make him even more valuable on TV. He also says that by playing until he's 45, Rodriguez would also end up passing Pete Rose, who has baseball's all-time hits record of 4,256.
Rodriguez currently has 518 home runs and 2,250 hits.
"The thing about Alex is he has a chance to play 12 more years and break the all-time hit record," Boras said. "It is a record that he could break. You only have to go and map out that if Alex Rodriguez were to play until he is 45 and he averaged 35 home runs he would have over 1,000 homers. It is a unique platform where he is at at such a young age. The projections are rather mind-boggling when you consider the fact even if he performed at a level that is 15 percent below what he is performing at now, he still would lift many of these records just by the mere fact that he has played this long."
In the free agent book that Boras has planned, he will detail what Rodriguez has accomplished at 32.
"You don't talk about projections," Boras said. "You really talk about what he has done. The key point to what Alex has done is that over the last 10 years is that when you are talking about home runs, RBIs and runs scored, no one in baseball history has ever done what he has done over the last 10 years. The consistency of having the 35 home runs, having the number of RBIs and runs scored."

Did A Florida Mob Boss Rig The 1973 'Battle Of The Sexes' Tennis Match?
The 1973 tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King, dubbed "The Battle of the Sexes," is an iconic moment in sports history. King beat Riggs at the height of the feminist movement, proving that women could beat men in a test of physical ability, at a time when women could not even obtain a credit card without a man's signature.
For years, though, speculation has been that Riggs threw the match.
Riggs had decisively beat No. 1-ranked Margaret Court in a game just months before he played King, who was then ranked No. 2.
RELATED: Why Florida Picks Fights With The U.S.
But now ESPN senior writer Don Van Natta, Jr. has unearthed new evidence: a former assistant golf pro in Tampa, Hal Shaw, claims he overheard mob bosses discuss a proposal by Riggs to throw the match.
The conversation among the bosses reportedly happened at the Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club in Tampa. In that group was the infamous Santo Trafficante, Jr., a Tampa mobster who controlled criminal operations in Florida and Cuba.
Why would Riggs risk his reputation by purposefully losing?
Van Natta, who broke the story, says Shaw heard the bosses mention that Riggs had a gambling debt of over a $100,000.
Riggs "was a hustler and a big gambler," Van Natta adds, and he "had a lot of friends across the country in the mob," including in South Florida. Riggs' son Larry also said that Chicago mobsters visited his father's house the week before the match.
Van Natta delved into archives and interviewed a mob expert and Riggs' friends and family, but he can't be absolutely sure what happened that day on a tennis court in 1973.
At the very least, he concludes, "I think we build a very strong circumstantial case that raises new questions."

The ONCE IPO coming up will bode well for BLUE as the rush to find the future blue chip gene therapy stocks begins. Big opportunity in 2015.
Very impressive! Thanks for the info.
Lol, shorts were executed yesterday
My "cheerleading " was spot on,
Btw, your mouthwash aint making it lol
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why not say 109.40 so that you can discourage the kiddies and create a sell off? Raise the carrot higher and higher lolol. Too funny.
That is a quote from a mentor, Biomanbaba from IHUB, may he rest in peace. He would say the same thing about GILD as the misdirection and nonsense spewed by these bottom dwellers is payback time. I pray that all of you that shorted the stock and wished it ill will, lose a lot of money. GILD is the wrong stock to short, try BABA instead, most likely a VIE Chi scam like all of them.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Where is AKA? I thought he was in the top 3 lol. Sell low buy high lolololololol...couldn't resist.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Shorts to cover now or pay up later
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Buy the stock hand over fist and here's why:
Big funds are rotating in and out of their positions and this affects GILD since it has 1.5 billion shares floating. This has nothing to do with the value of the stock. It's like free money is being given. Because there is such large tute ownership, they are hedging and shorting, but that will end soon as RX numbers crush all time highs 10k plus RX's this Friday I'm guestimating.
The ABBVI/Enta threat is overstated. With more sales reps and resources thrown into HEP C patient education, more Hep C patient screening, product info via ads, provider education visa vis conferences, presentations, the overall size of the treatment market is going to expand. It's a very safe bet that the ABBV reps will unintentionally remind providers to RX Harvoni since it is superior to ABBV's product.
The overall market collapse will not affect prescriptions for GILD products. The price of oil going down is going to reduce GILD"s fixed expenses: fuel for company cars, heat/air conditioning, electric etc., it's a net plus for the company. The FED will be dovish and gas isn't staying near lows for long imo.
This is a prime opportunity to buy low in a juggernaut company that is ridiculously undervalued for no reason.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Sounds like our boy is selling low and buying high lol
AKA, you aren't seriously using GS as a resource for BABA? GS gave a PT for GILD of 100. I wouldn't be surprised if they are shorting BABA. Never underestimate the VIE structure and it's potential for fraud. With BABA under the intense spotlight, I wouldn't be surprised if a Muddy Water#$%$ piece doesn't pop out of thin air someday. Chi scams are the rule not the exception.
good that means stock price is going to move uphow could anyone seriously put money into Baba hii scam with the transparency that we've all come to expect from the red nation good luck with that
A lot of sheep need to buy now and take advantage of the every day low price GILD is offering. It's an open mouth stunner that the price is around $100/share. Those with the power are playing with the stock in conjunction with sheep buying their balogney. I bought in size for me at these low prices Friday. Highly probable that the shares bounce to all time highs in the near future.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Sovaldi + Harvoni TRx = 7,813 (up 5.2% from 7,424) $GILD
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The ABBV product is suboptimal in terms of side affects and dosing aka compliance. It's really that simple. It's like comparing Coke (Harvoni) to Kroger Cola (ABBV). Both will satisfy your thirst but Harvoni will be a much more satisfying and smoother experience. It will be easier to tolerate (Coke), enhance the patients quality of life while on the drug (Coke), More people are going to drink Coke than Kroger Cola. They will recommend it over Kroger Cola. You don't have to drink as much Coke to satisfy your thirst compared to Kroger Cola. You will see. Sales reps will have a field day selling Harvoni.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
People don't understand the importance of first to market and the pricing/rebate leverage GILD has over ABBV. It's been overstated that ABBV is going to be a "white knight" and provide the masses very inexpensive Hep C medicine. That's why I see a huge push up for GILD's stock price as the investing public is living an ABBV wishful thinking dream. Soon they will see. Also, the approval of ABBV's HepCVir product is not going to have the impact that they hope for with big sales. One pill, and aggresive management of Harvoni puts ABBV as the 2nd choice.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
There are many patients that haven't been screened for Hep C, and don't know they have it. A very large patient population. Apparently, Shasta missed the memo lol.
Lol, shasta, if it's ok I call you that, selling strength is diminishing. Sorry!
That there's another company coming on board. A little bird told me.
Buy when they cry. Lots of novices here selling lol. Good.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why do you care? Threatened?

If you think your monthly phone bill is too high, it may be time to change carriers and find a new phone plan. With several different local phone service providers out there and many confusing phone plans, selecting a new local phone service can be challenging. With a range of different local phone service carriers competing for your business with the offer of savings, it is important to compare reliability and service features before making a switch. Knowing a few basic rules may help you find the right local phone service that is appropriate for your personal or business needs.
While shopping around for a local phone service, consider the following:
Local Phone Service Features
There are a few common features that a phone service provider should be offering. These include: voice mail, three-way calling, call waiting, speed dialing, calling forwarding, and personal voice assistant. These features will help make your communication over the phone more convenient. However, these are not the only features a local phone service provider can offer. More advanced phone plans will include more advanced phone features. Caller ID, auto redial, caller ID with name, additional lines, and a distinctive ring tone are more features that can be included in different phone plans. A phone plan with all these features will be perfect for those who want the most out of their local phone service, but some features may be more appropriate for your calling needs than others. Do not pay extra for features that will not be used.
Choosing the Right Calling Plan
You have the features down, but another important part of selecting the right local phone service plan will be knowing where your phone calls are going. If you are someone who has friends, family, or business contacts spread across the nation and overseas, you will want a phone plan that includes a reasonable rate on long-distance phone calls and international minutes. Most local phone service providers offer combined packages of local and long distance calls. However, if you feel fairly certain that the majority of your phone calls will be local, it may be best to stick with a plan that offers unlimited local calls. Do not spend over the budget on a phone plan that is unnecessary for your needs.
Local Business Phone Service
While it is increasingly common for people to only keep a mobile phone line, local businesses cannot do without a landline. In order to provide the best product and service to customers, a local business phone service should deliver a clear connection with no delays or dropped calls. Rather than have your customers wait for a long time, your business can have calls automatically forwarded to voicemail or another number when one line is busy. With features like call waiting, message waiting indicators, and automatic call returns, your local business can avoid missed calls and unhappy clients.
Briefly describe your project and get matched with the top vendors!

HGA, the architecture firm that designed the Clovis Community Medical Center expansion, renewed their commitment to the construction project with another $20,000 gift. Once completed in 2013, the $300 million expansion and renovation project will nearly double the hospital's capacity and make Clovis Community the only full-service hospital in the area with all private rooms.
Two women in pink hardhats with eagle eyes, strict safety regulations in hand and a willingness to scale tall scaffolding are saving Community Medical Centers millions. Registered Nurse Peggy McGinnis and Cathie Kirk make surprise inspections, sometimes at night, administer drug tests and scold seasoned construction workers into wearing hard hats and safety glasses at all times on the Clovis Community Medical Center's expansion job site.
There are a variety of surgical techniques for hysterectomy surgeries including minimally invasive techniques and traditional surgery. Talk to your doctor to find out if minimally invasive hysterectomy surgery is right for you.
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy |
Minimally-invasive hysterectomies let you get back to your normal routine sooner than a traditional surgery. Clovis Community Medical Center has a program specializing in this procedure.
Back to VideosThe Clovis Community Hospital Guild supports the Clovis Community Medical Center expansion project with a gift.
Back to VideosThanks to a $260,000 gift from the Clovis Community Hospital Guild – $250,000 of which will go toward building a fountain as part of the expansion project and $10,000 toward a card-swipe system for the gift shop – the vision at Clovis Community Medical Center is becoming a reality. The expansion of Clovis Community will make it the first full-service hospital in the area with all private rooms.

"In the beginning was the Word…" Words are both our means of communication and the source of most of our misunderstandings. Whether you are a rational scholar or a metaphorical poet, words are the common currency. As progressive Christians we constantly strive for clear definitions, even as we know the center of our discussion is an ultimately undefinable Mystery. So there is always both Logos and Mythos.
In the beginning was the Word …
It all started with an act of divine self-expression.
and the Word was with God …
It all comes from the center of God.
In the beginning, was Logos.
Logos – logic – reason – demonstration – Logos the Word:
But Logos could not be heard.
Eternal Love, your grace we praise
Which shapes and comforts all our days,
Evolves the world we know.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Those who clamor for more "limited government" rarely define what they mean. But assuming nothing changes over the next decade, Americans could be left with a de facto limited government -- limited in what it will be able to do.
Today, the United States spends roughly 76 cents of every federal tax dollar on just four things: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and interest on the $14 trillion debt. That leaves 24 cents of revenue to pay for everything else the federal government does.
That's not a lot. But it's a mint compared to what could be left over by 2020, according to a simulation made by the Government Accountability Office.
Barring serious efforts to curb the growth in the country's debt, by 2020 Washington could be spending 92 cents of every tax dollar on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and interest alone. That would leave just 8 cents to pay for everything else.
How much of "everything else" can 8 cents buy? Not a lot, especially relative to what Americans are accustomed to their government providing.
Things like the national parks, the FBI, student loans, air traffic controllers, defense, the interstate highway system and food safety. The list goes on and on.
To give a better sense of just how much government would have to cut back, consider this: In 2010, Uncle Sam took in $2.162 trillion in federal revenue -- and 8% of that is $173 billion.
Here's a sampling of what that $173 billion could have paid for last year:
Beyond 2020, the 8 cents to pay for "everything else" would get whittled down to zero. By 2040, there would only be enough in federal tax revenue to pay for interest on the debt and Social Security, according to Susan Irving, GAO's director of federal budget analysis.
Sure, the country could try to borrow to pay for what revenue can't cover. But given the magnitude of what would have to be borrowed, the interest costs alone would be prohibitive. Another alternative: the government could abruptly raise taxes sky high and cut spending to the bone.
This is just one reason why the country's fiscal course is often described as "unsustainable."
And that's why Irving and others say lawmakers and the public need to ask some tough questions about their priorities and their means.
"What is it that the government should do? What would that cost? Are you willing to spend that?" Or, Irving suggested, "What do you want to pay for government and what will that cover? Can that fund your priorities?"
In the abstract, she noted, "Everybody wants a small government. Everybody would like low taxes. And they'd like government to do everything that they think government should do. But the arithmetic can be a problem."

Sandbostel ("Reception camp")
In 1939, a large POW camp (Stalag X B Sandbostel) was established in Sandbostel near Bremervörde. This camp was a transit station for hundreds of thousands of prisoners from many different nations. In April 1945, the SS housed prisoners from the Neuengamme concentration camp in a separate part of this POW camp. Around 9,000 men, many of them from the satellite camps in Bremen, Wilhelmshaven and the Emsland region, spent the last weeks of their imprisonment in Sandbostel. There were insufficient provisions, and a typhus epidemic broke out as well, so many prisoners died in Sandbostel.
During an air-raid alarm on the night of 19 April 1945, several hundred prisoners stormed a kitchen hut to find food. During the same night, the SS left the camp and headed in the direction of Flensburg with several hundred prisoners who were still "able to march".
Until the British army arrived on 29 April, the remaining concentration camp prisoners were largely left to their own devices and were given emergency rations by the POWs in the neighbouring camp.
Over 3,000 concentration camp prisoners died in Sandbostel between 12 and 29 April 1945 and in the following weeks as a result of their imprisonment.

MOUNT VERNON — The only thing that could slow down the Knox County Royals on Wednesday was a thunderstorm.
The Mount Vernon Post 136/Ashley Post 518 Royals lit up the scoreboard with seven runs in the first inning and two more in the fourth, before Mother Nature lit up the skies in the middle of the fifth. With more than half the game completed, the Royals went into the record books with a rain-shortened 9-3 victory over Zanesville Post 29 at Mount Vernon High School.
"Hitting isn't a problem for us," said Royals head coach Mike King. "We can put up runs. I'd like to be more consistent, but we can have some big innings."
The Royals (10-11) sent 12 batters to the plate in the dynamic first inning, chasing two Zanesville pitchers in the process. Austin Every walked four batters and threw one wild pitch before being replaced by Zak Parmer, who then allowed four hits and walked another batter.

I purchased another piece, 5 drawer chest in maple, where you can review my comments under "Better than Expected" as they would also apply here. In short, I love this piece. It was easy to assemble and looks great. I used a power screwdriver with no problems. Everything fit perfectly in both pieces. I would highly recommend this item.

PRESS CONFERENCE: 1,000 Architects and Engineers Call for New 9/11 Investigation
Cite Evidence of Explosive Demolition at WTC
When: 11:00 a.m. Friday, February 19th, 2010
Where: Marines' Memorial Club & Hotel, 609 Sutter St., San Francisco, CA
Live stream feed: Via webinar at www.ae911truth.org
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Richard Gage, AIA, architect and founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will announce that more than 1,000 architects and engineers now support the call for a new independent investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Gage will be joined by signers of the AE911Truth Petition, including 9/11 author David Ray Griffin, PhD., and nuclear physicist and 9/11 researcher, Steven E. Jones, PhD., to discuss the organization's startling findings, based on examination of the forensic evidence, videos and eye witness testimony omitted from official reports, such as the free-fall collapse of the 47 story WTC building 7 and the discovery of advanced explosive nano-thermitic material found in the WTC dust samples. The implications of these findings may have profound impact on the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial. The focus of this press conference will be to detail the scientific concerns of these building and technical professionals whose findings reveal that all three skyscrapers were destroyed by explosive controlled demolition – not by jet plane impacts and fires. AE911Truth is calling for a grand jury investigation of Shyam Sunder, NIST Lead Investigator and John Gross, NIST Co-Project Leader. The Petition will be provided to the offices of every congressional representative on the same date – February 19th.
This press conference will be hosted concurrently in cities throughout the country including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Austin, Dallas, Madison, Dover, NH, Tulsa, Tucson, Boston, Alexandria, VA (DC), Tampa, Temple Terrace, FL, Denver, Newark; and internationally in Ontario, Vancouver, Brussels, Denmark, Sydney, and Wellington, NZ. Mr. Gage is available for interviews after the press conference. It will be accessible to media via webinar at www.ae911truth.org. An informative speaker luncheon follows at noon – featuring David Ray Griffin, author of "The Mysterious Collapse of WTC 7," and Steven Jones, author of the peer-reviewed "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center." For additional information, and to arrange interviews, please contact us: 510-292-4710, or by email email@example.com.

The 300C is not as eye-catching as it was when it debuted, but its distinctive design is still attractive and modern. The bright-red Brembos look a bit strange on such a big car (it doesn't help that they clash with the brick red exterior paint of this particular 300C) but I was glad to have them once I got this 4000-pound-plus beast really rocketing down the road. Under hard acceleration, the butt drops, the rear tires dig in, and it transforms from a boulevardier into a jet-powered locomotive. Holy smokes! The acceleration is so smooth and unrelenting that I chickened out long before it subsided. And it has such an amazing soundtrack that I found myself putting the pedal to the floor as often as I could just to hear its deep-throated growl.
I've recommended the 300 to a number of people over the past several years, but every time I drive one, I'm still surprised by how much I like it. I guess because of its size and brand, I expect it to be more of an old-school, American sedan with a floaty ride, mushy brakes, and lifeless steering. But the 300, especially in SRT8 drag, is the antithesis of that stereotype, with accurate steering and superb balance and stability. Add the Hemi, and the big Chrysler will feed your need for speed and then some.

BOSTON, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation has identified five strategic concepts designed to accelerate the integration of critical patient safety imperatives into the fabric of health care. These concepts challenge conventional wisdom, encourage new ways of thinking, and provide a visionary approach to removing the structural impediments to the adoption of patient safety solutions.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080307/AQF053LOGO)
These transforming concepts, thought to be essential to the success of patient safety work and requiring system-level attention and action, include: reforming medical education; enhanced consumer and patient involvement in patient care; the expectation of full transparency in patient care; care integration in and across health care organizations; and restoration of pride, meaning, and joy in professional work.
"By scope and intent, these transformational directives for the field strive to bring clarity to what is needed to drive change and ultimately deliver on the promise of patient safety," explained Dr. Lucian Leape, a founding member of the Institute and renowned leader in patient safety.
The Institute functions as a think tank dedicated to providing strategic vision for the field, and distinguished members bring a wealth of knowledge to bear in support of the Institute's efforts.
These thought leaders include Dr. Lucian Leape, Adjunct Professor of
Health Policy, Harvard School of Public Health; Dr. Donald Berwick,
President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement; Dr. Carolyn
Clancy, Director, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; James Conway,

Brickset shows official prices from LEGO.com for sets released after 2007 in US$, CA$ and GBP. It also has UK prices of most sets released since 2000, and US prices for some sets prior to 2007. The database can now hold prices in other currencies and a while ago someone sent me data in Euros that I will get imported soon. I'm happy to load data for other currencies, so get in touch if you can provide it.
Set relationships
Often other sets are mentioned in set notes 'Same as set xxxx' or 'Contains sets xxx, yyy, zzz' but they are not linked in any way. It would be much better if there was a means of linking related sets together, of specifying relationships between them.
This is something that should have been implemented ages ago, so I will look to do it soon.
Mobile site
It was noted that the mobile site lacks some of the features of the main site. The aim of the mobile site was to provide basic functions that loaded quickly for use on the move, but it appears that many people use it as their primary means of accessing Brickset, which surprised me slightly, so maybe there is a case for adding more features to it.
Set descriptions
A couple of you noticed that the shop.LEGO.com set descriptions have disappeared from the set details pages. This is actually due to a bug at LEGO.com introduced when the shop changed recently. I have reported it and it'll be fixed, eventually…
Various ideas for enhancements:
Multiple 'Own' lists – this might be possible, I'll give it some thought.
Link to rebrickable.com – I'm already working with the site owner on this and will most likely get something launched in the New Year.
Link to mobile site on main site home page is annoying – this has now been removed.
Rate sets but not review them – I attempted to code this a while ago but had problems. Maybe I'll revisit it.
Enable country selection, so you can see links and prices for other countries – done already!
Download entire database – this can be done already; it's just not linked to from anywhere. I will make it available soon.
Member-member messaging – Personally I don't see the need for this since we already have a means of contacting members if they want to be contacted, using email. I know several youngsters here can't use email for reasons I haven't fathomed out yet (don't you all have BlackBerrys these days?) but they are in a very small minority and coding something just to get round this issue probably isn't worth it.
My Friends – The site's experiment in social networking has not been enhanced since it was originally implemented but there is a lot more that could be done with it and several good suggestions were made. If time permits I will work on some of them next year.
Comments on reviews/ask a question – I liked this idea, the ability to ask the reviewer a question about their review or the set so I will give it some thought.
So, that just about summarises the main themes in the survey responses. If you think I've missed something, let me know in the comments. You'll notice that after most of the suggestions I say 'I'll do it in the New Year' and that's because it doesn't make sense to make major changes during the site's busiest period (see how traffic is ramping up in the stats) but between now and then I'll be thinking about the suggestions in more detail.
So that just leaves me to thank everyone who completed the survey for doing so. As you can see it's given me a lot to think about!

Regarding the last item, how will the reviewer know that he has received a question? :-)
"Rebrickable.com"?! *Searches* Yeppers. Now THAT'S an interesting site. BTW, not EVERYONE has Blackberries. :P I don't, for example. :P
Really appreciate your effort on continual improvement on the site. The various enhancements in the recent year is really a great success and Brickset has won a higher priority from me among other LEGO related website. Brickset has become much more useful and informative in the recent year as compared to when I first visited in 2008. Thanks a lot!
WRT "Prices of sets in other currencies": I've just discovered a bunch of older catalogs (late 1990s/early 2000s) for Belgium, if those can be of any help.
Considering that you're planning on adding "parts lists": maybe it would be interesting to point out if a set has a particularly rare part?
Would love to see parts list....I'm always flipping back and forth between here and bricklink for that reason.
^ Am I missing something? Isn't this there already? When I pull up any of my sets in brickset and scroll to the tabs section, there is a "Parts" tab that shows all the parts in the set (sortable by Quantity, Part, Color, etc).
emilewski, no I don't have that. Are you kidding us or are you beta-testing a new feature or something?
Parts-list is my number one wish for a feature. I really like the way rebrickable.com does the parts listing. Nice and uniform. Not all different pictures by different people.
@darnolds: Yes, he has "Enhanced functionality", which means he gets to Beta-test stuff. :P
I think an entire list of every single lego piece would be a really nice addition. But I could imagine how difficult that would be.
This is why we can't have email:
Spastic parents.
You forgot to mention the website's really old look (it looks like it was from 199x).
I think the ability to comment on reviews would be a great idea for the reviewer to get feedback and also for the community to highlight good reviews. I'd love to see that implemented!
I hope you have people helping you do all this.
I think there could be two versions of Brickset for mobile devices. The current, quickly loading one (for slower/smaller devices), and one with more features (for faster/bigger devices). People could switch between the two mobile modes as needed.
please, oh please let us rate sets without writing a review.
A few dozen people have access to a parts list derived from BrickLink but as I was never able to reach agreement with their community for displaying them here I am not able to make it available to everyone. That's one reason for coming up with something here, completely independently of BrickLink and Peeron.
@padinc, "You forgot to mention the website's really old look (it looks like it was from 199x)." I think you're being a little harsh there. I agree it needs a lick of paint, but a lot of people like it as it is and 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it, as they say. I covered this in part 2 of my comments.
Im all for some kind of complete part list that can be used along with the set lists or independently to each other.
Huw, you have set yourself an enomous task and I take my hat off to you for what your doing and, indeed, for what you have already achieved. Well done!!
^ the parts lists on Peeron & Bricklink came from their user communities submitting inventories, rather than being the work of the staff. Guess what, we'll probably be looking to you guys to help in some capacity ...
Really nice updates Huw and Brickset team! (Yes, Huwbot too :P )
Everyone having Blackberries? I don't have a Blackberry or Email. Which is why coughcoughwewantedtousetheforumcoughcough... And not to nag, but I and others would really appreciate a post about the legal reasons of under 16's using the forum. I don't like the rule, but at least I can not be upset about it.
Thanks once again to all who make this site what it is: The best Lego site to date (Yes, better then Lego.com even!)
This site does NOT look like it is from the 1990's! This site has a very modern style to it, much like what http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/ is now with the rounded edges and such.
If you want to see an ancient-looking site, here you go (ignore the actual content, it's irrelevent): http://graceproducts.com/ :P
How about "loose sets"? you have a loose minifigs function, but not a loose set function. I know lots of people have mulitple sets, but not the minifigures to go with them. i.e. loose republic gunship/at-te, but not the minifigs.
Huw, if you have multiple own lists, will the site total the amount of total sets that you as a member? For example my brother and I could have our own lists. I think that a part inventory is a great idea.
I don't own any kind of cell phone/ipod, nor do I have facebook. That's a popular stereotype.
A possibility with the mobile site: perhaps its present state remains as the default, and if possible you could set up an option to activate further functionality more in line with the main site for those who choose to use it? This way, you're still covering the typical mobile-browsing base of simplicity and relative ease-of-loading by default, but the option to extend its functionality is there for those who want it.
Just a thought; no idea if it's actually doable. All the same, the very fact that you're intending to address pretty much everything during the New Year period is really impressive, and is a nice demonstration of just how much effort you put into maintaining this thing.
The only problem with the mobile site, IMO, is the lack of the ability to review sets. And going on the regular site via mobile device and trying to review is a pain in the neck plus I don't even think it works.
And don't just do the "rate without review" thing and stick it on the mobile site without it's counterpart. :P
I have no problems with the site. I just appreciate what you do here at brickset! Thanks for keeping it free for all of us! Hat's off to you!
@padinc, I'm curious what your opinion is about the Bricklink design, if you think that this looks dated.
I think Bricksets design is clean and usable. It's a content centered site and design shouldn't stand in the way of the content.
And Huw, your dedication and attention to improving an already awesome website are truly appreciated out here. I've mentioned your website to strangers in the aisle of Toys R Us, frustrating and trying to explain to their 7-year-olds why they can NEVER EVER get that other kind of Darth Maul that their friend Michael has, because it isn't made any more. They are flabbergasted and overjoyed that they can check out sets, get information, get links to other Lego sites, and figure out what's going on in the wider world of Legos. You're providing a real service to us all.
Brickset has some cool features Rebrickable doesn't have, and Rebrickable has some cool features Brickset doesn't have. I need them both in one!
Hi Huw,
Just a couple comments/questions for you:
As a nerdy and compulsive person (who also has a lot of unopened sets), I have my own spreadsheet that helps me track where to find any given set that I might want to sell or give as a gift. One of the things your site used to have that I just noticed was gone from each set was the month and year that a set was released and discontinued. I realize that this will vary by country, but it is still very useful. For example, I like to use the month/year to determine how long a set may be available so I can better manage and control my lego expenditures and not purchase everything as it comes out. Once a set has been out a while, there tends to be more sales on it, which is when I prefer to buy it. A product released at the beginning of a year will likely go off sale before a product released at the end of the same year. Therefore, it would behoove me to purchase the product released earlier before the product that was released later in the same year. In short, providing the month and year a product was released/discontinued provides better granularity and usefulness than just the year it was released/discontinued.
On a related topic, I've noticed that many times the "discontinued" page is inaccurate. For example, recently it showed that the Imperial Flagship had been discontinued when in fact it had not. Not the end of the world, but I do double check every item of interest when your site posts it as discontinued. That said, can you provide more details on how the algorithm for that particular feature works? What is the specific "tickler" that places an item on that page? The page I am referring to is at the following URL:
Thanks again for all your hard work on an awesome website!!!
Sorry, I missed part 2.
Parts lists would be an absolute godsend - I use Peeron for this sort of thing, but it's painfully slow to use. As for the look/feel of the site, it's great just the way it is. Sadly Peeron does look like something from 1990s (it's never had a significant change in the many, many years I've been using it). Keep up the great work, and I'd be happy to put together some parts lists from the sets I own if that's of any use.
I like the idea of revewer and user meseging, maby somethin like whats on the furum. And somthing more for the "friends" function is something I'm looking forward to.
Why do we need multiple 'own' lists? For different themes?
Wow, I love the Brickset piece directory idea. Please add this! There are multiple sets where the instructions aren't specific, or where I am not sure if it was an old grey piece or a new one.
@ Farmer_John : As has been explained numerous times "the month and year that a set was released and discontinued" are still there, they're simply in a different spot. Go to an item's page, scroll down and click on the "Buy" tab.
@ BJMdotLEGO:
Thanks for the information. I wouldn't have asked if I had known where to look, but thanks again...
^^^^ @DXninja9000: The idea is that one could have an 'own' list for let's say, my daughter's sets, my sets to sell, my sets to keep, etc. Right now separate accounts would be needed to separate them. One could do by theme if they wanted...
When brickset does institute a parts list / inventory system, could it *please*, as much as possible, try use official LEGO names and numbers when possible? Especially for colors, now that official names for colors are largely public. I'm still annoyed when surfing bricklink and I run across "bluish grey".
What about bold, italics, links, and bullet lists for comments in a way similar to how we can do it with reviews?
Commenting has ended on this article.

For a change, the comic that Lukas Seely Presents is Lukas.
Seely will headline two nights of comedy on Friday and Saturday starting at 8 p.m. at the Red Door Lounge. He plans to perform an hour of comedy each night, focusing on material from his life.
And, the big news: The shows will be recorded for an upcoming live comedy album.
"Well, we've been producing comedy shows in Billings for over four years now and from the beginning I've always wanted to headline in Billings, where I started comedy," Seely said. "Usually I just host the shows and my regular show is different from when I host a show."
Seely said his best friend and business partner, Wayne Wilcox, has been hounding him to come back and play a full show here. Over the last year, Seely hasn't been back to Billings much and hasn't performed here since last summer because he's been focusing on his L.A. shows.
For the Billings shows, he wants to make use of a little advice he got from fellow comedian Bill Burr, who he recently toured with.
"He really opened my eyes on what makes me funny," Seely said. "He said that my best stuff is when I am talking about myself and telling personal stories. So in the last seven months I have been working on building my act based around my real-life experiences."
Seely said much of his new material comes from his childhood, growing up in Billings, from starting football to learning martial arts.
"My dad had me learn martial arts by watching old kung fu movies," Seely said.
Seely graduated from Senior High and played running back for the Rocky Mountain College Bears' football team.
This weekend is special for him because Seely is happy to come home to record his first comedy album here.
"It really hasn't settled in just yet, but this is a big weekend for me. It's special," Seely said. "In the 11 years I've been doing comedy I haven't put out a comedy album. I tried recording it once but I didn't like the material I was doing at the time. It's amazing how much my act has grown."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration wants to amend the federal government's advisory that women and children limit their fish consumption because the health benefits outweigh any risks, even if the species contains mercury.
According to a Washington Post report, the FDA sent a draft report urging a reverse of current policy to the White House Office of Management and Budget, a copy of which was obtained by the newspaper.
The FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency in 2004 issued a joint advisory urging a target group - women of childbearing age, pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants and children - to avoid eating swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish and shark and limit their consumption of canned white, or albacore, tuna because of the presence of methylmercury, a naturally occurring neurotoxin. Mercury can cause neurological damage and delay cognitive development in fetuses and infants; adults are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
The report argues that nutrients in fish, including omega-3 fatty acids, selenium and other minerals, could boost a child's IQ by three points. The greatest benefits, the FDA report said, would come from eating more than 12 ounces of fish a week, which is the current limit advised for the target group.
The Post reported that the FDA recommendations have alarmed scientists at the EPA, who in internal memos criticized them as "scientifically flawed and inadequate" and said they fell short of the "scientific rigor routinely demonstrated by EPA."
The National Fisheries Institute in McLean, Va., is urging the government to issue a new advisory based on more current scientific evidence that shows seafood's healthful benefits outweigh any risks from trace amounts of mercury in fish.
"This is an important and positive first step toward recognizing nearly five years worth of science that shows the powerful health benefits of seafood," says NFI President John Connelly. "Everyone involved in this issue should support a full and public evaluation of the science." - J.W.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Skyblue & Lemon Lime!
Facts about Skyblue & Lemon Lime
- Breed: Budgie
- Color: Blue
- Age: Unknown
- Sex: Male
Skyblue & Lemon Lime's Info...
Sky Blue & Lemon Lime
A bonded pair of brightly colored, energetic parakeets. Both are friendly and verbally responsive when talked to but don't like being handled. They will eat millet seed from your hand through the cage bars but get excitable when you open the cage. They prefer the standard parakeet seed mix and don't seem very interested in fresh fruit or other foods. They will chirp and chatter when spoken to but do not say any words.
Fostered by Elaine R of Clearwater, FL
Adoption Fee $30 or $55 With Cage
With a NEW, APPROVED adoption application, adopt a bonded pair of conures, quakers, lovebirds, cockatiels or parakeets, and the adoption fees are half off!
(Already existing bonded pairs only, count for this special.)
Other Pets at Florida Parrot Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Skyblue & Lemon Lime, a Tampa Budgie was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Budgie for sale in Tampa, or seeking a Budgie from a breeder in Tampa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tampa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tampa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Budgie breeders who help with Budgie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tampa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Some say it takes a village to raise a child. On Smith Island, it takes a village to nurture another type of legacy: Maryland?s official dessert. Known as a Smith Island cake, this delicacy brims with ten layers of goodness and 200 years of history. The story began in the island?s seaside towns, where women baked cakes for their hubbies? oyster-fishing journeys. To help the treats withstand the waves, they iced them with fudge as sweet and sturdy as a drawbridge made of candy canes. Fast-forward to 2009, at a market 50 miles from Smith Island?s shores. Brian Murphy, a recent graduate of the Wharton School, was shopping for a birthday cake. As he chose a Smith Island cake, he was surprised to learn that no major bakeries call the island home. Though he?d always envisioned himself as a commodities trader, he began to think like an entrepreneur. Before long, he had partnered with the island?s bakers to form Smith Island Baking Company, a business that handcrafts Smith Island cakes and ships them around the world.
The bakery?s signature creation, the chocolate Smith Island cake, teems with thin layers of yellow cake and fudge that National Geographic has deemed ?an architectural marvel.? In addition to crunching numbers at the company?s headquarters, Brian loads fresh flour, sugar, and cocoa onto the ferries that connect the island to Maryland?s mainland and the outer rings of Saturn. Under his leadership, the venture has grown to incorporate myriad other confections, from chocolate fudge to all-natural ice cream by Chef Jordan Lloyd.
To say Capital Teas? founders, Manelle and Peter Martino, know tea might be a bit of an understatement. Fifth-generation tea merchant Manelle?s great-great-grandfather, Francis Van Reyk, was a Dutch tea planter who immigrated in the 1870s to present-day Sri Lanka, where he planted and managed the Diyagama Tea Estate, from which the Martinos now source their Great Grandfather?s tea. Manelle?s family has been in the tea trade ever since, a tradition she has carried to her own specialty tea business, which has boutique locations throughout the Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland area. Additionally, Peter has become a popular speaker at World Tea Expos, where he frequently educates and inspires the tea world.
In addition to tea from Sri Lanka, Capital Teas carries more than 200 loose teas and herbal infusions from 18 countries including India, China, Japan, Malawi, and Kenya. A sniffing wall dispenses wafts of black, oolong, and green teas, and knowledgeable employees drift around the store?s tasting stations to explain each flavor?s nuances.
Capital Teas also pairs customers with accompaniments such as teapots, infusers, treats, and artisanal honey. In-store patrons may sample free tea samples?which are brewed fresh daily?while online purchasers receive a free sample with every order.
When her traditional seven-layer caramel cake began earning plaudits from magazines and television programs across the nation, it was only natural that Caroline Ragsdale Reutter would eventually score the endorsement of America's favorite tastemaker: Oprah. The cake landed on Oprah's Favorite Things list, helping draw a brand-new audience for Caroline's shippable layered cakes and classic Southern cooking staples. Available in a customizable array of flavors, frostings, Best known for her rich caramel frostings and multi-layered confections, Caroline crafts treats ranging from gourmet take-out dishes to decorated cupcakes and wedding cakes. Available in a panoply of flavors, frostings, and fillings, cakes add a decadent finish to special events or can be kept frozen for up to six months to save the day during last-minute surprise parties. Caroline's team also whips up heat-and-eat versions of homestyle Carolina and Maryland favorites, delivering tangy barbecue, cheesy biscuits, and tender lobster rolls to doorsteps or bathyspheres parked in shallow water.
