Anyone holding out hope that the Yankees would swoop in and sign Matt Holliday will be disappointed to hear that he's signed with the Cardinals. The deal is seven-years, $120 million and might include a 2017 option. I wonder how close any other bidders came to this price.
Is Zach McAllister a prospect worth holding on to?
At The Hardball Times, Harry Pavlidis writes an article titled, "Pitching prospects who might be keepers." With that title, it's tough not to read. Harry examines minor league players using four criteria: strikeout rate, walk rate, groundball rate, and home runs per fly ball + line drive. Since those represent four important pitching skills, you might imagine that Harry's analysis spits out the very best in minor league arms. Alas, this does not appear to be the case.
To get the most contextual look at each pitcher, Harry weighs each stat against the pitcher's league average. This way he can compare someone pitching in AAA to someone pitching in A ball — or, just as important, comparing someone pitching in the International League to someone pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He puts everything on a scale of 100, like OPS+ and ERA+, so you can see how far each pitcher ranks above league average in each category.
Among the 29 names on Pavlidis's list sits Zach McAllister, the 22-year-old sinkerballer who figures to start the season in AAA. Despite the label, however, McAllister didn't induce many more groundballs than a league average Eastern League pitcher. That means more fly balls and line drives than other sinkerballers, but this is where McAllister registers well above league average. He keeps balls in the park on hits in the air, no small accomplishment. He also ranks well above league average in walks.
While McAllister does have some impressive numbers, his inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean he'll find success in the big leagues. Of the 29 on Pavlidis's list, 13 have seen major league action and none have overly impressed. Lenny DiNardo stands out. His walk rate ranks well above league average, but in the majors he walked way, way too many hitters. His just above average strikeout rate translated into well below league average in the majors, and even his home run to fly ball plus line drive ratio dipped.
Still, given McAllisters numbers, both in this analysis and in more general analyses, the Yanks could get use out of him in the back of the rotation. He's not the kind of pitcher who will win a job during Spring Training — not with the Yankees, at least. But if the team faces an injury or two, he could certainly get his chance in the rotation. Perhaps his skills in throwing strikes and keeping fly balls in the park will translate into major league success. At this point, I think that's a better gamble than trading him in for a major league spare part with much less potential future value.
Link Roundup: Former Yankees in the news
Damon a fit in Atlanta?
Want to read 1000 words on how and why Johnny Damon would be a great fit for the Braves' lineup? Well, then point your browsers to this David O'Brien blog post and prepare for a lengthy analysis. O'Brien says Atlanta has around $7-$8 million per season for two years to offer to Damon, and since Scott Boras has yet to field a better offer, Damon just might accept.
Now, if that salary figure sounds familiar, that's because it is reportedly what the Yankees were willing to pay Damon for at least 2010 and maybe 2011. Would Damon then accept a lesser salary with another team than he would with his former employers? Joe tackled just that question in his closing arguments, and it's worth noting that some people are more comfortable taking lesser money from a new team than they are with taking a paycut to stick with their old one. In the end, Damon will produce no matter the salary, but he could have a better early-season outlook in Atlanta than with the Yankees.
If the Braves opt against pursuing Damon, I'm not sure where or for how much Damon ends up. The Braves — and of course the Yankees — are simply the two best and last real remaining options for Johnny. Unless the Cardinals lose out on Matt Holliday, Damon will have few choices for a player coming off a great year. He really is this year's Bobby Abreu.
Yanks, 14 others ask about Wang
Yesterday, we learned that Chien-Ming Wang would throw off a mound in mid-to-late Feburary. Today, we hear of interest in the rehabbing right-hander. Alan Nero, Wang's agent, told Andrew Marchand that 15 teams have inquired into the status of the former 19-game winner and erstwhile ace. The Yankees, but not the Mets, were among those teams, and I still would not be surprised if Wang returned to the Bronx on an incentive-laden deal this year.
Matsui: I want to play the outfield
Hideki Matsui's insistence that he will play some games in the outfield in Anaheim continues to amuse me. Last week, the World Series MVP returned home to Japan and held a press conference at which he reiterated his belief that he will see some time in left field in 2010. "I'd like to prove I can play defense at spring training," Matsui said during a news conference. "It will be difficult to play defense every day like in the past, but I'd like to reach the point where I'm able to play defense once every few games."
Matsui, never a great defender, last played the field on June 15, 2008 — coincidentally the same day Chien-Ming Wang suffered his career-derailing Lisfranc injury. Since then, he has undergone at least one knee surgery and a few procedures to drain fluids from his knees, but if the Angels want to risk, so be it.
The story behind Fred McGriff and Tom Emanski
How, you may ask, does Fred McGriff end up on a link dump of news concerning former Yankees? Well, New York drafted McGriff in the ninth round of the 1981 amateur draft, and then the team traded him with Dave Collins and Mike Morgan on December 9, 1982 to the Blue Jays for Tom Dodd and Dale Murray. It wasn't a good trade. Anyway, while McGriff made a name for himself with the bat, he is in one of the longest running baseball video commercials of all time, and today, Tyler Kepner gets the story behind the Emanski endorsement. His teams did win back to back to back A.A.U. National Championships, after all.
Randy Johnson will announce his retirement tomorrow
The Big Unit spent two productive years in pinstripes, and his Hall of Fame career appears to have ended: Bob Nightengale says RJ will announce his retirement tomorrow morning. He went 34-19 with a 4.37 ERA in pinstripes, though he really made his mark with the Diamondbacks. When Arizona signed Johnson to a four year, $53M contract in 1999, they were rewarded with four Cy Youngs and a 2.52 FIP with 1,417 strikeouts in 1030 innings. Wow.
Can the Yankees avoid arbitration with Gaudin, Mitre?
Today begins the filing period for salary arbitration hearings, which means the start of a tedious process for players and teams. Once a player files, he and the team must exchange figures by January 19 in anticipation of a February hearing. For the next month plus, teams and players will negotiate for what each considers a fair salary. If they reach no such agreement they present cases in front of an arbiter, who will then choose either the team's or the player's proposed salary. In other words, once you get to a hearing there's no longer a chance for compromise. It's either one or the other.
Partly because of this all or nothing nature, most cases never go to a hearing. In fact, as Craig Calcaterra notes, 90 percent settle. This has left, since the inception of arbitration in 1974, just 487 hearings, or about 14 per season. It seems like that number has come down in recent years, too, perhaps because of the imbalance in decisions. Teams have won 57 percent of hearings, and while that's not a huge margin, it does give a player an incentive to settle.
(But at least it's not as bad as corporate-consumer arbitration, which heavily favors one side.)
At MLB.com Anthony Castrovince describes the history of arbitration and how it has evolved since its inception in the early 70s. Back then it was a way to better reward players for their contributions while still preventing them from becoming free agents. Over the years, players continued to push the limits higher, gaining better and better compensation in arbitration. A handful of cases in each decade stand out, but none quite like Ryan Howard's $10 million in 2008. The next year, arbitration eligible players received average raises of 172 percent. While free agent salaries trend downward, arbitration salaries continue to rise.
Given the perils of facing an arbitration hearing, chances are the Yankees will settle with both of their arbitration cases, Chad Gaudin and Sergio Mitre. Neither pitcher had a standout 2009, and the Yankees will likely use that to their advantage in negotiations. Mitre's poor statistics almost force him to settle. Gaudin and his agent will likely concentrate on his numbers while with the Yankees (42 IP, 3.43 ERA), so maybe he has more of a case. But given Gaudin's 2009 salary, $2 million, and his season-long performance, I'm not sure he can expect too hefty a raise. This could keep the two parties' proposals close together, making it easier to strike a compromise.
Javy Vazquez: Unclutch?
It's a question that's been asked since the Yankees reacquired Javy Vazquez right before the holidays. Was the second half of 2004 and his abysmal playoff showing the real Javy, or was it the product of bad mechanics or something along those lines? Jay at Fack Youk looked into the issue and determined that yeah, Javy generally does perform worse in higher leverage situations.
During his twelve year career, Vazquez has posted a .798 OPS against with a 4.51 FIP in hi-lev situations compared to .700 & 3.60 in lo-lev spots. American League pitchers posted a .750 OPS against with a 4.45 FIP in hi-lev spots last year, so Javy's slightly below average in that regard. The flip side of the coin is that Vazquez is superb in lower leverage spots, as AL pitchers posted a .765 OPS against and a 4.56 FIP in those situations last year. Obviously you want pitchers that bear down and do well in big spots, but for a fourth starter, Vazquez is far more than qualified.
If you're someone that believes in intangibles and stuff (they certainly exist, though I don't think they're nearly as important or have as much of an impact as many believe), then Javy has two things going for him this year: a) it's a contract year and he's never once been on the free agent market, and b) dude's got a chip on his shoulder, he's going to be out to prove that what we saw in 2004 was not the real Javy. I'm betting contract year Javy Vazquez is going to be a damn good pitcher.
By the Decade: Team of the Decade
All good things, the saying goes, must come to an end. As the Aught-Aughts ended a few days ago, so must our Yankees By the Decade retrospective. But we can't let it rest without one big wrap-up post. So let's get to it. This morning, I'll explore who was on the Yanks' team of the decade and just which team should be awarded baseball's team of the decade.
Over the last few weeks, I've slowly assembled a team of the decade for our Bronx Bombers. We'll have to omit the relievers because they came and went. The life of a bullpen pitcher is fleeting, and the Yanks used 114 relievers this decade. The six guys we'd pick to backup Mariano are Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, Tom Gordon, Mike Stanton, Jeff Nelson and Ramiro Mendoza. The rest of the Yankee team of the decade, then, looks a little something like this:
C: Jorge Posada
1B: Jason Giambi but not for his defense
2B: Robinson Cano/Alfonso Soriano
SS: Derek Jeter
3B: Alex Rodriguez
LF: Hideki Matsui, co-starring Johnny Damon
CF: Early-decade Bernie Williams
RF: Gary Sheffield
DH: Unimpressively Jason Giambi
SP: Andy Pettitte and Mike Mussina
CL: Mariano Rivera
That is one impressive roster. There are at least three Hall of Famers and a fourth who should definitely be Cooperstown-bound along with a handful of near-Hall of Famers. This is a team primed to win, and win they did.

The Yankees averaged a Major League-leading 96 wins and 65 losses. They scored 883 runs per season but allowed a pedestrian 756. The team won two World Series, lost two World Series and made the playoffs in nine out of ten seasons. They finished first eight teams, won 52 playoff games and had an aggregate Opening Day payroll of over $1.68 billion.
Yet, despite these gaudy numbers, the wins, the success, the playoff appearances, many have been hesitant to award the Yankees the team of the decade. Maybe baseball outside of the Bronx is just sick of the Yankee Dynasty, whenever it ended if it ever has. Maybe baseball writers need a good-guy foil for the Evil Empire. Thus, some have called the Red Sox the team of the decade.
Truth be told, Boston was very, very good during the 2000s. They are the only team that can approach the Yanks in terms of success. Boston went an average of 92-70 over the decade. The Sox averaged 865 runs per year and gave up 744. They finished in 2nd place eight times, won the division once, made the playoffs six times and twice won the World Series. They spent a garish $1.168 billion in the process, small beans compared with the Yanks but wealthy by everyone else's standards.
The Red Sox have been lauded as a team of the decade simply because no one expected it. For decades, the Sox weren't caused; they simply suffered through horrible Front Office and franchise management. The new owners have reshaped the Red Sox brand and have brought perennial contenders to the Back Bay. Through smart spending, solid drafting and building from within, the new Red Sox management has constructed a team in the model of the Yankees from the mid-1990s and the Yankees from today. It's hard to label the imitators as the team of the decade when the original is still better, albeit ever so slightly.
As the Teens — the 2010s, the decade of Marty McFly and Doc Brown's flying DeLorean — descends upon us, the Yankees are primed for more wins and more playoff berths. As the core ages, the Yanks have used their dollars to bring on younger and more versatile pieces. They are grooming some players from their system for the Majors and have turned others into potential cornerstones for the next three or four or five years.
Other teams may be catching up, but the Yankees, as they were in the 1990s, were the team of the 2000s. It's good to be a fan indeed.
Left field closing arguments: Johnny Damon
Each player in our left field closing arguments series has potential upside with considerable downside. Today's player offers upside with little downside. I think Damon remains the preference of nearly everyone out there, but just in case…
For the past four years, Johnny Damon has been awesome. When the Yankees signed him to a four-year, $52 million contract in the winter of 2005, they were widely praised, though with the caution that they might regret it in the last year or two. Then, when he started off slow in 2007, people wondered if the Yankees would get just one good year out of Damon. Alas, he recovered in 2008 and posted two of the best seasons of his career to finish the contract. Now a free agent without a home, we're all wondering if Damon will swallow some pride and return to the Yankees.
Issues of money and contract length separate the two sides. Scott Boras originally sought a multiyear contract at $13 million per annum, Damon's salary through his last contract, but no team came close to biting. While Damon can still produce, he's just not the same player that signed the contract in 2005. The Yankees acquired him to play center field, but by the end of his contract he was stuck in left field and not playing well even there. His hitting ended up better than expected — his OPS+ was actually higher with New York than with Boston, where he played during his prime years.
How far will Damon's salary fall? The Yankees, reportedly, offered him a two-year, $20 million contract, but Damon wouldn't take. Then, when the reports surfaced that the Yankees were talking to Nick Johnson, Damon acquiesced, only to find that he was too late. The Yankees were already too far in the Johnson negotiations, and didn't want to pay Damon his 2/20 along with Johnson's salary. We haven't seen anything linking the two parties — and even saw explicit denials of interest after the Yankees traded Melky Cabrera to the Braves. But this is all part of a larger game. The Yankees and Damon still match up, and we could certainly see them strike a deal.
There's no questioning Damon's ability to hit, especially at Yankee Stadium. During his four years in New York he posted a .285/.363/.458 line, dragged down by a poor 2007 in which he hit. 270/.351/.396, mostly due to a terrible start. In the second half of that year he hit .296/.364/.450, much closer to his Yankees career than his terrible first half. He's even better at home, a big attraction to the Yankees. In the inaugural season of the New Yankee Stadium, he hit .279/.382/.533 in 318 PA. His road numbers, .284/.349/.446, weren't quite as good, but still very good considering what he does at home.
Damon does show a platoon split, but it's not an enormous cause for alarm. In 2009 he had a .889 OPS against righties and a .776 OPS against lefties. In 2008 the split was .889/.710, a bit more drastic but still not horrible, especially because of his .342 OBP against lefties that year. No, it's not an ideal platoon scenario, but the Yankees have help if they want to sit Damon against tough lefties. That's one advantage of having the lefty-mashing Jamie Hoffman on the roster. But even if Damon plays against tough lefties, he's not useless. He can handle himself, and perhaps handle himself better at his home ballpark.
On the negative side there are three areas of concern. First, Damon's age. He'll play his age 36 season in 2010, an age where many players see their numbers decline. On a multiyear deal that might be cause for larger concern, but on a one-year deal, especially one for seven figures (rather than eight), the Yankees can mitigate that risk. The major risk, really, is that he falls off a cliff, but while that's possible, I don't think it's probable. Again, Damon is coming off perhaps the best season of his career, and if he re-signs with the Yankees will have the same ballpark benefits.
Second, his late-season slump. Damon posted excellent numbers in almost every month of the 2009 season, his best coming in August when he hit .327/.371/.622 and helped the Yankees run away with the division. But he fell flat in September, hitting just .247/.350/.315. Could that have been a sign of decline? Perhaps. He did continue the futility in the first round of the playoffs, going 1 for 12 with a walk in the ALDS. But then he bounced back to have a good ALCS and excellent World Series. It looks like Damon's slump was just that. Plus, if there really is tiring with age, the Yankees can sit him more in favor of Brett Gardner. In fact, that might be the ideal scenario for Gardner heading into the 2010 season: 4th outfielder who regularly spells Damon in left.
Third, his defense. It was pretty bad in 2009, both by scouting and by statistical standards. I tried to find a glimmer of hope, but was unsuccessful (Keith Law even added a negative scouting report to supplement the numbers). The good news is that, just like players can have bad offensive seasons, so they can on defense. Maybe Damon's poor 2009 in left was just a blip. Maybe he really did, as he claims, get better as the season moved along. There's no guarantee, of course, that Damon bounces back. But his bad 2009 doesn't mean he can't. He certainly can, and if he does he'll be of even more value — and perhaps compensate for any decline he sees on offense.
Of all the options we've so far explored in this series, Damon makes the most sense. He's familiar with New York and has thrived in the spotlight. He's also a much better bet with the bat than any of the other suitors, and though he had a bad 2009 on defense he could rebound in 2010. Money separates the two sides now, but as we get closer to pitchers and catchers reporting, maybe Damon will realize that the market isn't quite what he had imagined. It might hurt his pride to take a one-year deal with a massive pay cut, but it's also in his best interests as a player. If the Braves and the Yankees offer the same deal, why would he go to Atlanta? They don't offer the opportunity and familiarity of New York.
We each have our own reasons for the decisions we make. Maybe Damon wouldn't be comfortable returning at a greatly reduced salary. Maybe he's insulted that the richest franchise in the game won't overpay for him. But if he wants the best chance to win, it's with the Yankees. At the right price, I'm sure they'd like to have him back.
So now, whenever a rumor surfaces involving Damon and the Yankees, we can refer back to this post and its comments. Have your final say now.

Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are groups of practitioners and researchers with an interest in designing, evaluating and disseminating solutions to the real-world problems of clinical practices. To evaluate the level of interest of community pharmacists in participating in a PBRN and to document the services such a network should offer. In a survey of community pharmacists in Montreal, Quebec, and surrounding areas, a questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 1250 pharmacists. Two of the 28 questions were related to PBRNs: one assessed the pharmacists' interest in participating in a PBRN; the other sought their views on which services and activities this network should offer. In total, 571 (45.7%) pharmacists completed the questionnaire, but 6 did not answer the questions about the PBRN. Of the respondents, 58.9% indicated they were "very interested" or "interested" in joining a PBRN, while 41.1% reported little or no interest. The most popular potential services identified were access to clinical tools developed in research projects (77.0%), access to continuing education training programs developed in research projects (75.9%), information about conferences on pharmacy practice research (64.1%) and participation in the development of new pharmaceutical practices (56.1%). This study suggests that the level of interest that community pharmacists have in PBRNs is sufficient to further evaluate how such networks may optimize and facilitate pharmacy practice research.

Ideal and actual involvement of community pharmacists in health promotion and prevention: a cross-sectional study in Quebec, Canada.

An increased interest is observed in broadening community pharmacists' role in public health. To date, little information has been gathered in Canada on community pharmacists' perceptions of their role in health promotion and prevention; however, such data are essential to the development of public-health programs in community pharmacy. A cross-sectional study was therefore conducted to explore the perceptions of community pharmacists in urban and semi-urban areas regarding their ideal and actual levels of involvement in providing health-promotion and prevention services and the barriers to such involvement. Using a five-step modified Dillman's tailored design method, a questionnaire with 28 multiple-choice or open-ended questions (11 pages plus a cover letter) was mailed to a random sample of 1,250 pharmacists out of 1,887 community pharmacists practicing in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) and surrounding areas. It included questions on pharmacists' ideal level of involvement in providing health-promotion and preventive services; which services were actually offered in their pharmacy, the employees involved, the frequency, and duration of the services; the barriers to the provision of these services in community pharmacy; their opinion regarding the most appropriate health professionals to provide them; and the characteristics of pharmacists, pharmacies and their clientele. In all, 571 out of 1,234 (46.3%) eligible community pharmacists completed and returned the questionnaire. Most believed they should be very involved in health promotion and prevention, particularly in smoking cessation (84.3%); screening for hypertension (81.8%), diabetes (76.0%) and dyslipidemia (56.9%); and sexual health (61.7% to 89.1%); however, fewer respondents reported actually being very involved in providing such services (5.7% [lifestyle, including smoking cessation], 44.5%, 34.8%, 6.5% and 19.3%, respectively). The main barriers to the provision of these services in current practice were lack of: time (86.1%), coordination with other health care professionals (61.1%), staff or resources (57.2%), financial compensation (50.8%), and clinical tools (45.5%). Although community pharmacists think they should play a significant role in health promotion and prevention, they recognize a wide gap between their ideal and actual levels of involvement. The efficient integration of primary-care pharmacists and pharmacies into public health cannot be envisioned without addressing important organizational barriers.

To assess the feasibility and impact of implementing ProFiL program to optimize community-pharmacist management of drug-related problems among chronic kidney disease patients followed in a predialysis clinic. The program comprises a training workshop, communication-network program and consultation service. Forty-two community pharmacies, 101 pharmacists, and 90 chronic kidney disease patients attending a predialysis clinic in Laval (Canada). Patients were followed-up for 6 months. In a six-month, pilot, open, cluster-randomized controlled trial, community pharmacies were assigned to ProFiL or the usual care. Chronic kidney disease patients of these pharmacies attending a predialysis clinic were recruited. ProFiL pharmacists attended a workshop, received patient information (diagnoses, medications, and laboratory-test results) and had access to a consultation service. Their knowledge and satisfaction were measured before and after the workshop. The mean numbers of pharmacists' written recommendations to physicians (pharmaceutical opinions) and refusals to dispense a medication were computed. Of the ProFiL pharmacists, 84% attended the workshop; their knowledge increased from 52% to 88% (95% CI: 29-40%). Most ProFiL pharmacists rated workshop (95%), communication program (82%) and consultation service (59%) as "excellent" or "very good"; 82% said the program improved the quality of their follow-up. The consultation service received 21 requests. ProFiL and usual care pharmacists issued a mean of 0.50 and 0.02 opinion/patient, respectively, (95% CI of the adjusted difference: 0.28-1.01 opinion/patient). The results of this pilot study suggest that ProFiL can be implemented and may help community pharmacists intervene more frequently to manage drug-related problems. However, a larger-scale study with longer follow-up is necessary to evaluate the impact of the program on management of drug-related problems and its clinical relevance.

Use of over-the-counter medications and natural products may be associated with drug-related problems among patients with chronic renal insufficiency. The aim of this study is to describe the use of nonprescription medications in patients attending a predialysis clinic and identify drug-related problems associated with the use of these products. In a 6-month cluster randomized controlled trial, patients with moderate (n = 46) and severe (n = 41) chronic renal insufficiency were interviewed over the telephone at baseline by a community pharmacist to document their use of over-the-counter medications and natural products. The safety of each product was assessed, and drug-related problems were identified independently by 2 pharmacists. Overall, 83% (95% confidence interval [CI], 72 to 94) of patients with moderate chronic renal insufficiency and 68% (95% CI, 54 to 83) with severe chronic renal insufficiency reported using at least 1 over-the-counter medication. Contraindicated over-the-counter medications were reported by 9% of patients. Natural products were used by 22% (95% CI, 10 to 34) and 29% (95% CI, 15 to 43) of patients with moderate and severe chronic renal insufficiency, respectively. Similarly, 3% of patients reported using at least 1 contraindicated natural product. Patients had consulted a health professional for 49% of over-the-counter medications and 19% of natural products. Overall, 65 drug-related problems were identified. The use of over-the-counter medications and natural products is highly prevalent in patients with chronic renal insufficiency and often is associated with a drug-related problem. These results emphasize the importance for community pharmacists to closely monitor the use of these products in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.

Order coming this month
Hi guys, should be receiving my order from schriners this month so excited!!! With this heat I think I should have waited until aug or sept??? But I am going to plant in containers to get established!! Any suggestions???
Woohoo, my Napa order was sent out last week! Can't wait to get it, it's my very first order from them.
Containerfreak you must be in north LA to be zone 7b. I'm central LA and I plan on planting them straight in the ground as soon as I get them. I have been getting daylily orders in too and I have been planting them straight in the ground also and they are all doing very well and putting up new growth.
I planted 2 Little Freak Iris about 3 weeks ago and they were tiny maybe the size of a nickel around but they have a whole set of leaves out and the rhizomes have already plumped up to the size of a quarter. The soil is really well draining and I water every 3-4 days depending on how hot it is and whether or not we have had any rain. Which thankfully as of real late we've had a good bit.
Rena', have you seen this website? I didn't know where you were or I would have suggested it earlier.
Here is a link that might be useful: Evey's Blissful Garden
Yes, thank you Renee I visit it quite often looking to see if there is a current update. And I find none :( Baton Rouge is about 160 miles south of here. Not very many people around really grow very many bearded Iris. I hope mine all do well. We shall see...
Oh, I really appreciate her # 7 Pray. I laugh out loud like a hyena every time I read it!
I put some in a pot and some straight in the ground when I 1st read her blog to see which would do better or if it would matter. The ones that went in the ground straight away grew better and faster then the ones in the pots.
So I skip the pots and put all in the ground immediately.
And I hardly ever lose any. But... I'm not naive I've only been gardening seriously with bearded Iris a relatively short time so I am positive I have a lot to learn. Experience is the best teacher so I guess I'm well on my way to a good education! lol
Hey guys thanks for the post...I am new to iris I have 2 one called batik and an another I lost the name to. I have 10 coming from schriners!!! Yay. But I started the other 2 in pots because my soil is clay.. And it doesn't drain well..I am going to divide the first 2 and put some in a bed and see if they will grow? I'm afraid to start the new ones in the ground I don't know if the will live?? Also Rena' I live in vidalia across the river from Natchez if you know where that is? I may have the zone wrong???
It gets pretty hot here even I am further north, and I find that things in pots don't do as well just because the root zone is hotter that way. Some things just really don't do well until you get them in the ground. So I would vote for in the ground, with maybe some bark added or compost or something to improve the drainage if you can. Raise up the bed, maybe. I had iris at my old house, I don't get so much rain as you are likely to get I think, and they did fine even with my clay soil. You might need to look at the drainage, even if you start them in a pot. Your light soil from the pot, once you get it into the ground, might serve as a water container with the clay walls around it, and the iris might drown. Water won't migrate from light soil to heavy.
containerfreak - you are in zone 8b. For all kinds of neat info you can go to plantmaps.com and enter your zip code.
Hum I have clay soil also but it is not dense until about 14-20" down and then only in certain places. My soil is super draining almost too much. That is why my cactus garden thrives. If it is possible I would build a raised bed for good draining if your soil doesn't drain well. At least have as many possible things as you can in your favor so as to give the iris the best shot at thriving. I know that digging in dense clay is so hard & pretty miserable. I daydream of renting a jackhammer for this one part of my garden just to get all the dense clay out of it. lol My Batik isn't the fastest growing thing in the world. Actually it is growing (both in different places) slow as a slug. But at least with the rain as of late a lot of mine are growing faster now.
I've not ordered from Schreiners but I've only heard glowing reports about them, awesome! What did you order?
Hi gardenofeden, thanks for the info!! I ordered a basic package that included:
Rosalie Figge
Pink Attraction
Harvest of memories
Orange harvest
Autumn Circus
Best Bet
Just to get started, and then I just had to ad a few
Supreme Sultan
Gnus Flash
And I am supposed to get a free one
Grateful Red
I am just afraid to put these in the ground!!! I have had Batik a year and I bought it in a container blooming I transplanted it into a larger container and it has grown a lot and multiplied well!!! My idea was to start in large container and when I divide later put the divisions in the ground??? I just don't want them to die if I put them directly into the ground!!!
Well, if your Batik is doing good in the pot then you must be doing something right, I say keep on keeping on! I know what you mean about not wanting to lose any. Follow your instinct, it's when we don't heed the inner voice we usually end up in trouble. I have most of those on order as well. And it is very hard to not just keep adding on to the orders. Much luck to both of us!
You are about 52 miles east of me. And actually my husband's birthday is Saturday and you know that place out your way that sells the huge cedar rocking chairs? I want to get him one of those. And all the wonderful places that sell those concrete statues and pots is calling me. lol
Hey Y'all,
My order came in and the plants look great!!! And Greatful Red has the purple foliage!!! Yea!!! And I got an extra bonus Silken Trim the picture looks beautiful!!! SO excited!!

new grill/smoker
Just ordered a Smoke Hollow trimate gas/charcoal/smoker and should have it shortly. It comes with a firebox on the side of the charcoal grill- can someone explain to me exactly what a firebox does?
That's used for smoking, where you would have the fire and coals in the side box only. The heat and smoke cook indirectly. It's also useful for long-term grilling if you need to have hot coals for a long time. You can keep putting fresh materials in the box to make more coals to move into the grill. The owners' manual should give you some ideas to get you started.
I always wonder why people like you post replies that say absolutely nothing- you don't think I know how to google? I wanted the experience of GardenWeb members to answer my questions- but none like you. Here's a link for you-

A sneaking admiration for decision to make Kane waitMatt Dickinson
An emotional Michael Clarke dedicated Australia's World Cup triumph to the late Phillip Hughes as he bowed out of one-day international cricket with his best innings of the tournament. Clarke struck 74 off 72 balls as Australia cruised to a crushing seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the final, reaching their target of 184 with 101 balls to spare at the MCG and he described Hughes as the squad's 16th man in the six-week competition. "I'm sure I don't just speak for myself, I'm sure everybody standing on this stage tonight will say that we've played this World Cup with 16 players and tonight is certainly dedicated to our little brother and our team-mate Phillip Hughes," the 33-year-old, who was deeply affected by Hughes's death in late November, said. "Hughes used to party as good as any of them so I'll make sure we drink two [beers] at a time tonight, one for Hughesy and one for us." Clarke, who will continue to play Test cricket, wore a black armband in honour of his close friend, who died aged 25 two days after he was struck on the back of his head by a Sean Abbott bouncer in a first-class match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. "The band has got PH on it. I will wear it every game I play for Australia. It's been a really tough few months," he added. With Clarke making his 245th and last appearance in one-day internationals, Australia's players had fittingly saved their best performance until the final with the
There may be doubt over who will inherit Michael Clarke's No 23 shirt, but very little about the player to assume his job as Australia's one-day captain. Steve Smith, whose pulled four won the World Cup with a whopping 101 balls to spare, has looked every bit the leader-in-waiting throughout the tournament. In the early hours of tomorrow morning, Australia will name the squad for the Ashes tour this summer. It is probably too early for Smith to usurp his team-mate in the Test team, despite reports at the start of the year that he would be the popular choice. The 50-over game may serve as an apprenticeship. Clarke was heading towards the dream finish to his one-day career yesterday, only for Matt Henry to bowl him with nine runs needed. He received a standing ovation, which he lapped up, acknowledging the 93,013 crowd that set a record for any cricket mat
Mark Cueto may have had busier afternoons for Sale Sharks in his 15-year career, but he still made his presence felt on his 300th appearance yesterday, which ended in a standing ovation from appreciative supporters at the AJ Bell Stadium. Cueto, who retires at the end of the season, was cheered off a minute before time after Sale had outplayed Gloucester to maintain hopes of finishing in the top six and earning an automatic place in the European Champions Cup next season. Steve Diamond, the Sale director of rugby, was quick to congratulate Cueto, 35, on reaching a milestone that is rarely achieved by professional players. Diamond looks upon Cueto as his senior professional, whose work ethic is giving young players such as Josh Beaumont, the No 8, Mike Haley, the full back, and Ross Harrison and Tommy Taylor, the front-row forwards, the perfect example

Fulmer Vows to Fix Vols After 5-6 Season
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - At the University of Tennessee, one losing season is enough to send the faithful into a frenzy, questioning the coach's competence and wondering if it's time for a change.
And that's even if the coach, Phillip Fulmer, has won 80 percent of his games and a national title during 13 seasons as the top dog on Rocky Top.
Coming off a 5-6 season, Tennessee's worst since 1988, Fulmer and his program appear to be at a crossroads.
"Nobody is more passionate about being successful or winning here at Tennessee than I am," Fulmer said. "It's not a job, it's my life _ other than my family and my faith. I don't apologize for that. I like that."
Another losing season might not cost Fulmer his job, but it would certainly give athletic director Mike Hamilton something to think about.
Fulmer, the longest-tenured Southeastern Conference coach, is fiercely protective of the program he's guided since taking over from Johnny Majors in 1992. After all, Fulmer has been either a player or coach at Tennessee since 1968, leaving for only six seasons in the 1970s to be an assistant at Wichita State and Vanderbilt.
"I am competitive. I don't want to go back there again. I feel like every year we should be winning a championship," Fulmer said.
Fulmer is quick to point out that, despite last season, Tennessee is 95-30 over the past 10 years, the best record of any SEC school.
He calls last year "an aberration" and "a wake-up call," and he's tired of talking about it. But some critics say the program has been in decline since the days of Peyton Manning in the late 1990s and the 1998 national championship.
For now, the athletic director remains optimistic.
"If the fundamental question is 'Have you lost confidence in Phillip Fulmer?' the answer is, `Absolutely no.' I haven't. In fact, I think I've got as much confidence as I've ever had because of the way I've seen him respond to adversity in the offseason," Hamilton said.
Not all Fulmer's concerns have been on the field. Between last January and July, eight players were either arrested or cited for crimes ranging from aggravated assault to underage drinking.
This summer Fulmer has dismissed two players _ an incoming freshman arrested for DUI and a redshirt freshman who made an unspecified inappropriate comment at a restaurant. Another player was suspended for four games after an off-duty officer said he waved what looked like a gun at him. Two other players have been suspended following arrests since May.
Despite the troubles, Hamilton said donations to the athletic program have increased, and the department is moving ahead with a renovation of Neyland Stadium.
Football drives the athletic department, bringing in 49 percent of revenue and paying for other sports and facilities. It also brings national recognition to the university.
"There's a lot riding on it, but you can't be consumed by that," Hamilton said.
The athletic department wants to bank on more success under Fulmer, who is making a little more than $2 million a year.

Très agréable séjour! Petit appartement parfait pour des vacances en amoureux. Le jacuzzi a été très apprécié!
Un peu loin du centre mais très bien desservi par le tramway avec des passages fréquents, ça n'a pas été un problème du tout.
David was very lovely and welcoming- he showed us around the area and gave us detailed information about how to get around to all the popular places to site see. The apartment was clean and nice. I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Rome!
Nous avons passé un we dans l appartement de David. Notre hôte a été au petits soins avec nous, nous a accueilli et présenté l appartement dans les moindres détails. Nous recommandons l appartement de David sans réserves!
David was a great host and his place was really nicely set up. His map and local recommendations were great. It really made it easy for us to get around.
Don't hesitate to book with David. This was my first experience with airbnb and I hope they are all this good.
Purvin Hosting you and your wife it's been so great . I whish all guests were like you.
I am happy you liked the place and please come back for a longer stay next time .Ciao from David and Rome
The apartment and experience was very excellent. David had great communication and when we arrived he made sure we understood every area of the apartment. He even took us on a brief tour of the neighborhood so we understood the local shops. The apartment is perfect for a couple (perhaps it would not work for more than two people), well equipped with all the amenities, and the local tram made it very easy to explore the city. Overall I would definitely recommend staying at this location. 10/10
Thanks for your nice review.
Hope to host you again soon
The reservation was canceled 44 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Non sono più andata perché ho cambiato i miei programmi e purtroppo ho perso la quota versata per la notte perché la policy non permette il rimborso dopo un certo tempo massimo di preavviso , io ho deciso due giorni prima di non andare per cambiamenti imprevisti. Non sono in grado di lasciare una recensione ma dalle foto mi sembrava molto carino. Unica nota dolente che ricordo oltre naturalmente ai soldi persi della notte, è che ho scoperto solo dopo aver pagato, colpa mia perché non avevo letto bene, che per una notte sola le pulizie ammontano € 80 e non 40:(
The apartment is in a Roman neighbourhood a little way from the centre of town but very easily accessed by a 10-15 minute tram ride. Being in a local neighbourhood you have the benefits of a supermarket, bar, pizzeria close by. I liked walking around the neighbourhood as much as all the touristy sites, as it felt more like the 'real Rome'. David is a fantastic host - full of really useful information and introductions to the area. He gave a thorough introduction to the apartment and the neighbourhood which was really helpful. The apartment itself is clean and well laid out with everything one needs for a short or long stay in Rome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment.
David was an excellent host. He showed us around the little neighbourhood which had a supermarket, some caffe's, restaurants etc which was great for us. David's instructions to the apartment were fantastic and we didn't get lost at all!
The apartment itself was just what we needed for our stay in Rome. Close to transport and Trastevere area. David even has instructions on which transport to use to get to certain attractions which was very helpful for us! Apartment was clean and comfy and we loved the welcome pack with nibblies and a bottle of wine!
We had a great stay in David's apartment and we will definitely be back!
David is a wonderful host. He provides you with so much more detail than any standard hotel. He prepares a map of the local suburb showing local eateries and other shops that may be useful during your stay. He also prepares a list of directions to all the main attractions from the studio. The checkin process is very detailed so that you can enjoy your stay with little questions left to asked. He even walked us around the neighbourhood to show us certain points of interest. The studio itself is clean and comfy. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is big. On an overcast day it can be hard to get light into the main living room but you can just sit closer to the window if you are needing to read something. Also, you need to wait a little to get the hot water to flow through the bathroom basins, however, if you feel like its taking too long just turn the shower on to toggle the hot water system more quickly. The studio is close to the foodie area of Trastevere (7 tram stops away) and the main attractions are either a five or ten minute walk from the tram end of the line. It's a lovely place. You feel like you are at home, and David is very accommodating. A very nice stay in Rome.
Thank Tania for you nice review. The satisfaction of my guests is very important to me. Regarding the hot water , as explained during check in, the basins are the farest point reach from the gas water heater so it may need more time for the hot water to reach them. I hope it was also good to have the chance to leave bags til 18:00 so you could have enjoy more time in Rome ;-)
Hope to have you back!
I was very pleased to received David and is family, they are very nice and friendly. Everything went well and they were very respectful of my flat, and left it perfectly clean. I highly recommend them to anyone on airbnb.

... settling on the best one being from in an old rum barrell, so it has a hint of rum flavour. Very tasty. We wandered round the farm, checking out all the factory equipment and some farm animals - peacocks, chickens, fluffy goats, and some black pigs obsessed with licking the floor.
Moving on we headed to Tintagel, where we parked up and ...
Lands End and Seals
... From here we decided to head back and to our delight, the seals were still there! We got comfty for the show and watched again as they played and provided us with plenty entertainment.
From Lands End we drove the scenic route around the coast to St Ives. We strolled through the lovely streets and cobbled lanes until we emerged on the seafront. It's very picturesque here with a large sandy harbour and a beautiful sandy beach backed by sand dunes in the bay ...
Lizards, Islands and Sunsets
... and the rocky outcrops provided a lovely foreground.
We then made our way to St Ives where we had booked our last minute stay. It was right out the back up a tiny rural lane leading to some old farmhouses. We were staying in a little cottage which had been converted from cattle sheds. Very quaint, stone and beams, with a proper fireplace! We ventured into St Ives for dinner, settling on an extremely tasty Mexican. Mmm mojitos, nachos and fajitas!
... a home for every Indian and at least one lavatory in every school.
Talking of schools, leads me to dwell on education. Every child is entitled to free education in a state school although many parents even from modest backgrounds make sacrifices to send their children to private schools where much of the teaching is done in English. Nearly every billboard advertises education: whether for a private "English" school, an MBA course or for one of ...
Land's End
... we could join the End To End Club, if we apply and provide documentation to show we had completed the trip. Again, spectacular cliffs, but very commercialised. Even met two lots of Aussies there. Could not believe our luck with beautiful sunny weather to see these fabulous sights.
Then drove to the edge of Bodmin Moor to camp on a farm for the ...

Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Would Welcome Cotto Talks With Open Arms
Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya would welcome Miguel Cotto with open arms. The WBA champion's promotional contract with Top Rank, who guided his entire career, expires on December 31st. In a few recent interviews, Cotto revealed that his loyalty remains with Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum. But if Cotto decides to go across the street, De La Hoya is waiting to hear him out.

Cotto is with top rank but no contract so he will be a free agent and could have a big fight with floyd

Right now, Cotto more-or-less has a verbal agreement with TR. But I'm hoping he screws Arum.

I have never been a fan of Oscar but Arum is a f*cking piece of sh*t. I hate him. I hope Cotto leaves and goes with GB. He could probably get a Floyd fight. If not Kirkland and Alvarez are there for him to spank.

i would love to see that, but its better for Cotto to run without a contract his last two or three fights. HE already has a partnership between GBP and miguel cotto promotions, his got plenty of money and one of the best reputations in the sport, so i hope he uses that to pick his last opponents regardless of their promoter and under his terms. id love to see him b**ch slap Canelo and a fight with Maywether would be huge and a lot tougher( for floyd) than most people think.

Thought De La Hoya was scouting to fight Cotto.....anyways.
Real disappointed in Cotto after the Margarito fight, sounded like a real puppet saying he is and will always be his promoter (talking about Arum). Even kissed him on the cheek like a good hoe kisses her pimp.

Ken Koyama (2013) has done a great job in analyzing the current energy situation in Japan. I would like to add five points to his analysis mainly from an Asian and global context.
First, the short-term risk of a possible Iranian crisis should be stressed. The Strait of Hormuz may be practically blocked when Israel decides to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. The probability of attack will increase from the summer of 2013 to the winter of 2013. If this happens when almost no nuclear reactors are running in Japan, the oil and gas price hikes may trigger an economic crisis by pushing Japan's current account surplus into a huge deficit. Capital flight will dampen the value of Japanese government bonds as well as the yen. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply shortages in the Chubu Electric Area which relies on Qatar for 40% of its total power supply will trigger planned blackouts in the region. The Japanese government should prepare a contingency plan, including a quick re-start of nuclear power plants. I am concerned that the re-starting of nuclear power plants may be further delayed even after the completion of new safety standards by the newly created Nuclear Regulatory Commission in July 2013 because more detailed criteria and/or the rules for implementing these new standards may not necessarily be in place at the same time.
Second, natural gas will be a very important bridge energy source for Japan. Imports of LNG from US shale gas as well as from Alaska have strategic importance for diversification at competitive prices. Russia may also play a very important role for Japan and Asia. A gas pipeline connecting Japan with Russia would help diversify gas supply away from Japan's current total full dependency on LNG. These diversifications will help Japan to change the current price formula for LNG that is indexed to the oil price to a more rational one.
Third, high feed-in-tariffs are not enough to expand the use of renewables. Power market reform such as the unbundling of utilities and the unification of the 50–60 Hz frequency zones in Japan are keys for introducing a decentralized power system by renewables. This may open the way up to an interconnection with the power grids in Russia and Korea. Russia wants to export hydro-generated electricity form East Siberia, and South Korea benefits from a reduction in the risk of blackouts.
Fourth, technological solutions must be considered to strengthen Japan's energy security. Examples of these solutions are generation 4 reactors such as Integral Fast Reactor and Pyroprocessing, hydrogen transportation and storage using Methyl-Cyclo-Hexane, Methane hydrate, and super conductivity grid.
Fifth, energy security for the 21st century is collective energy security. Countries in the European Union are connected with each other by power grids and gas pipelines, which enables Germany to phase out nuclear power, while increasing the use of renewables and reducing security risks. This collective security system provides an interesting model for Asia. While Asia needs more energy than anybody else, we urgently need a governance framework. We should not waste our time by unnecessary disputes or conflicts. Japan, after the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, is in the best position to lead the dialogue on collective energy security.
