Casey Crosby Rumors
Minor Moves: Gomes, Stewart, Wallace, Crosby
With a rash of waiver claims today, several players made it through without being added to another club's 40-man. The Angels announced that outfielder Shawn O'Malley cleared waivers and was released. Meanwhile, the Athletics have outrighted righty Fernando Rodriguez to Triple-A after he cleared, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo tweets. Indians lefty Nick Maronde has cleared waivers, been assigned to Triple-A, and received an invite to big league camp, per Paul Hoynes of the Plain Dealer (via Twitter). And the Dodgers announced that outfielder/first baseman Kyle Jensen was outrighted to Triple-A.
Here are the day's further minor moves:
- The Rays announced that right-hander Brandon Gomes has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham. He will be invited to Major League Spring Training. The 30-year-old Gomes found himself designated for assignment last week following the Wil Myers trade.
- Infielder Ian Stewart has joined the Nationals on a minor league pact, Matt Eddy of Baseball America tweets. As Eddy notes, Stewart seems to be a solid match for a Nats' roster that currently features all right-handed-hitting infielders (if you count Danny Espinosa, who currently sits atop the depth chart at second and is a much better hitter from the right side than the left). Soon to turn 30, Stewart — not unlike Espinosa himself — has failed to maintain the promise of prior MLB seasons, but has shown significant power capability in the past. Stewart will receive $800K in the bigs plus a possible $350K in incentives, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets.
- The Padres have signed first baseman Brett Wallace to a minor league pact (via Eddy, on Twitter). Like Stewart, Wallace was once a highly-valued prospect. But the 28-year-old has yet to end an MLB campaign with an above-average hitting line, and he does not offer the kind of defensive value that lets his bat play. That said, he could still have some upside remaining and will provide San Diego with a depth piece at a position of need.
- The Red Sox agreed to terms with lefty Casey Crosby (again, via Eddy). Per Eddy, Crosby landed amongst the Tigers' top thirty prospects seven times. The oft-injured 26-year-old only received three big league starts in Detroit, however, and continued to have control issues after being converted to relief last year at Triple-A.
- 28-year-old outfielder Adron Chambers will head to camp with the Cubs, Cotillo tweets. After seeing minimal playing time at the big league level from 2011-13 with the Cardinals, Chambers spent last year at the Triple-A level with the Astros and Blue Jays. Over 206 plate appearances, he slashed a rather typical .283/.351/.411 in the highest level of the minors.
- The Reds have added several more minor league signings, also via Cotillo. In addition to the previously-reported signing of Ivan De Jesus, Cincinnati has locked up outfielder Jermaine Curtis and righty Nathan Adcock. Curtis, 27, managed only a .675 OPS at Triple-A last year for the Cardinals, and will be looking for a fresh start after spending his entire professional career in that organization. The 26-year-old Adcock has thrown 104 MLB innings over the last several years, mostly in relief, working to a 3.86 ERA in that stretch.
- The Twins have made a series of additions, per a club announcement (via Dustin Morse, on Twitter). Among them are outfielder Wilkin Ramirez and second baseman Jose Martinez. The former is a 29-year-old who has called the Minnesota organization home since 2012. Last year, he put up a .262/.305/.368 line at the highest level of the minors. Martinez, soon to turn 29, slashed .276/.345/.372 at Triple-A last year with the A's.

Minor Moves: Crosby, Anderson, Telis
We'll keep track of today's minor moves here.
- Lefty Casey Crosby, who was released two weeks ago by the Tigers, has re-signed with them, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish tweets. Crosby is out for the rest of the year due to injury, and he'll rehab with Detroit before becoming a free agent after the season.
- The Athletics acquired Geovany Soto from the Rangers this afternoon, and they've just announced yet another deal for a catcher — they've acquired minor-leaguer Bryan Anderson from the Reds for a portion of their international bonus pool. Anderson, 27, has hit .315/.395/.530 in 269 plate appearances split between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville this season. The former Cardinals prospect got cups of coffee in St. Louis in 2010 and 2012 and with the White Sox last season.
- With Soto's departure, the Rangers have announced that they will select the contract of catcher Tomas Telis from Triple-A Round Rock tomorrow. The 23-year-old has hit .319/.353/.434 in a season split between Round Rock and Double-A Frisco.

Tigers Release Casey Crosby
The Tigers announced today that they have selected the contract of right-hander Kevin Whelan and released former top prospect Casey Crosby in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
The 25-year-old Crosby has been on the shelf since mid-May, which is hardly a new sensation for the left-hander. Both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus considered the southpaw to be among the game's Top 50 prospects following a dominant 2009 campaign at Class A (2.41 ERA, 117 strikeouts in 104 2/3 innings), but injuries and command problems have caused his prospect star to dim considerably since that time.
Crosby had Tommy John surgery in 2008, has battled shoulder problems in recent seasons and also underwent elbow surgery to remove loose bodies last August. In total he's appeared in just 74 minor league games over the past five seasons. Baseball America at various times noted that Crosby had the best fastball and best curveball in the Tigers' system, and the publication still ranked him as Detroit's No. 17 prospect after the 2013 campaign. He shifted the bullpen this year, but his injuries and inability to command the strike zone have halted a once-promising career for Crosby, who will now look to latch on with another organization.
The 30-year-old Whelan has had a dominant season with Triple-A Toledo this season, notching a 1.85 ERA with 11.1 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 39 innings. He's yet to allow a homer and has surrendered just 26 hits in those 39 frames. If and when he takes the hill for the Tigers, it'll be his first big league action since a brief 2011 stint with the Yankees.

Relief Notes: Perez, Sipp, Mets, Tigers
In the midst of a lack of rumors surrounding lefty Oliver Perez, Fangraphs' Mike Petriello outlines the 32-year-old as a potential bargain. While Perez's career once looked to be over, he's reinvented himself as a bullpen arm. Petriello points out that Perez's contact rate over the last two seasons is within one percent of Max Scherzer and Glen Perkins. Perez's swinging-strike rate is better than that of Clayton Kershaw or Michael Wacha and on par with Joe Nathan, and he pounds the strike zone at nearly the same rate as Hisashi Iwakuma. Petriello is quick to point out that these positive indicators don't guarantee success from Perez, but with Boone Logan and J.P. Howell signing lucrative multiyear deals, Perez could be a value add late in the offseason. Other relief market notes…
- Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports (via Twitter) that left-hander Tony Sipp is moving closer to a deal with an unidentified team. The 30-year-old Sipp posted a 4.78 ERA with 10.0 K/9 and 5.3 BB/9 in 37 2/3 innings for the Diamondbacks in 2013 but elected free agency after Arizona designated him for assignment earlier in the offseason.
- The Mets are still looking to add a reliever, tweets Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. New York is likely looking at someone on a low-base salary deal, but with multiple irons still in the fire, nothing is expected in the next couple of days.
- George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press writes that if former top prospect Casey Crosby again makes it to the Majors with the Tigers, it will most likely be as a reliever and not a starter. "I think he'll adapt to pitching out of the bullpen," Pithching coach Jeff Jones told Sipple. "I think he'll do fine with that. A lot of times, you take guys who started all their lives and you put them in the bullpen and they just flourish."

Roy Halladay Rumors: Thursday
5:07pm: Ricciardi tells Ed Price of AOL FanHouse that he's not ruling out a trade. "We're waiting 'til 4 o'clock tomorrow," Ricciardi said.
4:23pm: Jack Curry of the New York Times has additional comments from Ricciardi on Halladay:
"We've got nothing going on. We expect him to be with us."
The Phillies are out, and the other suitors failed to wow Ricciardi.
3:19pm: Rosenthal and Morosi say the Dodgers have enough in their system to make a competitive offer for Halladay, even after acquiring Sherrill. And for Evan Grant's thoughts on the Rangers and Halladay, click here.
However, in another entry Rosenthal and Morosi talk to J.P. Ricciardi and label the Halladay sweepstakes "all but over." Ricciardi's comments indicate the same. Toronto's GM seems intent on keeping Scott Rolen, Marco Scutaro, and others if Doc stays.
2:23pm: Morosi says Halladay is looking unlikely for the Angels, who shot down a Toronto proposal that included Joe Saunders, Erick Aybar, and Brandon Wood.
The Halos are also looking for bullpen help, with names such as Heath Bell and George Sherrill in play (their offer for Mike Wuertz fell short).
1:26pm: Rosenthal and Morosi have a source saying things are "very quiet" on the Halladay front. Still, the Dodgers, Angels, Rangers, Rays, and Red Sox remain interested.
1:14pm: Yahoo's Tim Brown sees the Dodgers and Red Sox as the frontrunners for Doc in what is shaping up as a two-team race. Brown says the only Major Leaguer in the Dodgers' offer is James McDonald, while the Sox will part with Clay Buchholz, one of Justin Masterson, Michael Bowden, and Lars Anderson, and some lesser prospects. My guess is that the Red Sox find a way to get this done, given the quality they're already offering. ESPN's Jayson Stark says one Dodgers prospect who is off-limits is shortstop Devaris Gordon.
Meanwhile, Lynn Henning of the Detroit News says the Jays wanted Rick Porcello, Ryan Perry, and Casey Crosby from the Tigers for Halladay. Henning says the Tigers bowed out upon that request. Henning adds that the Tigers would consider adding Adam Dunn or Josh Willingham but the price is steep on the sluggers as well.
12:59pm: A Rosenthal/Morosi source with knowledge of the Jays' thinking discusses a package of Dodgers minor leaguers that could catch Toronto's attention in a Halladay deal.
12:21pm: Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal sees the Dodgers in the lead for Halladay, with the Rangers in the mix and talks with Boston calming down.
9:09am: Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe feels the chances of the Red Sox acquiring Halladay are "remote," and believes that Boston has yet to increase their initial offer for him. And in an earlier column, Sean McAdam of the Boston Herald said the Blue Jays and Red Sox have not been in contact over the last three days.
8:37am: SI's Jon Heyman says the Dodgers balked at the Blue Jays' asking price for Halladay and are moving on to Orioles closer George Sherrill. Check out yesterday's Sherrill info here.
Meanwhile, Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun finds Halladay unlikely to be traded. ESPN's Buster Olney says there are "no active talks" at present.
7:55am: We'll start with a review of yesterday's Roy Halladay rumors. The Phillies acquired Cliff Lee instead, cutting into J.P. Ricciardi's leverage for Doc. Ricciardi now has the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Dodgers, and possibly Angels and Rays to work with. The Blue Jays' GM is thinking about keeping Halladay for 2010, based on his comments to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. On to a few new links…
- Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi at FOX Sports say the Jays are not requiring the Dodgers to include Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley. Instead, they'd just take five or six of the team's top prospects.
- Mark Feinsand and Bill Madden of the New York Daily News say Ricciardi is trying to get the Yankees and Red Sox into a bidding war. Kind of cliche, J.P. The authors imply the Yanks may be more focused Jarrod Washburn, who obviously wouldn't require as big a bounty.
- Halladay's plan for today, according to Jim Salisbury of the Philadelphia Inquirer – lock himself in his hotel room. Might want to unplug the TV and disable the Internet. Doc is understandably drained from pitching last night amid all the rumors.

Recent reviews:
October 16, 2013 - Though the green color is really nice, it's not what I expected. The tank is very short and wide, not form fitting at all. Does not fit well under shirts or layered.
May 16, 2013 - Not what I expected. Too big. Does not look like the picture.
April 21, 2013 - I bought this,and I am a big and tall woman (5' 10", 200 lbs). The straps are too wide for my shoulders. I feel really bad because I want to buy fair-trade clothes, but I need to tie the back with a shoestring. Ladies, buy the next-lowest size to your American standard, then you'll be okay. I can't wait to try again to do the right thing.
Artisan: One Mango Tree
"No matter how difficult things get, the mango stays green...And in times of drought, we can eat its fruit to survive."
Northern Uganda is a region devastated by more than twenty years of armed conflict. Despite the fact that most of the conflict has subsided and many people are returning to their villages and otherwise peaceful lives, the ongoing violence destroyed many of the opportunities for earning a livelihood, especially for women. One Mango Tree was founded by and remains under the direction of a young American woman named Halle Butvin, who fell in love with Uganda's culture while on a student trip organized by the Global Youth Partnership for Africa. She recognized the talents of the many tailors of Gulu's central market, and thus One Mango Tree was formed as a partner to sell their products in a global marketplace.
Many of the women employed not only care for their own families, but also for children orphaned during the war. In addition to providing a vocation to these women, One Mango Tree provides school fees stipends to help alleviate the cost burden of sending so many orphaned children to school, as well as bicycles to ease the commute to work in the market.
One Mango Tree works with Ugandan and American designers to create their products, mixing the bright African wax printed fabrics purchased in local markets with functional design. Using foot-treadle sewing machines, the women make both traditional and modern style clothing.
Auma Lucy
Auma Lucy is One Mango Tree's head tailor and trainer, providing support and a vocation for the women she employs. Lucy is a single mother herself, caring for eleven orphans in addition to her own two children. Known throughout the community for her kindness and tailoring talents, Lucy became a magnet for young people, in the hopes that she could impart some of her knowledge and skills so they too could make a living. Having struggled herself as a young single mother, Lucy would accept as many women as would fit in her market stall. With the help of One Mango Tree, Lucy's tailors are now paid fair wages, helping them to improve their lives.

To my mind, this is an even more serious goof-up than when External Affairs MInister S.M.Krishna read out his Portugese counterpart's speech in the UN Security Council last February without even comprehending what he was doing. I think the mandarins weren't careful, again, and EAM has been let down for a second time11 months later.
How far can India go with Israel
They should have marked on bold red ink what was strictly for EAM's knowledge and not to be revealed during his media appearance with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu at Tel Aviv following their breakfast meeting on Tuesday. The point is, EAM should never have revealed what he did, namely, that India and Israel propose to intensify their security cooperation. "We will have to work out a strategy as to how we address ourselves to the scourge o international terrorism which has become the curse for the entire humanity. I think our efforts should be to checkmate and ultimately eradicate terrorists from the face of the earth."
I am sure the above was what EAM was supposed to tell Bibi duirng their tete-e-tete — EAM's 'Talking Point', as South Block calls the folder for VIP visits. Our top guns in South Block wouldn't have made a goof-up, they are far too professional and endowed with first-hand experience of Israel.
Look what happened. Bibi didn't say a word when EAM took off in such robust enthusiasm. Because, he knew he had just cleared the file relating to the assassination of an Iranian scientist by Mossad on the streets of Tehran.
Bibi attaches the highest importance to relations with India and he didn't want to compromise EAM. He knew in his heart of hearts that no sooner than EAM left Tel Aviv, there was going to be blood on the streets of Tehran and Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, aged 32, would be no more.
This is why I cautioned earlier that before undertaking this historic visit, South Block should have obtained some sort of reliable assurance about Israel's conduct as a normal state abiding by international law and UN Charter. The kind of things Israel does to Iran makes it a state sponsoring terrorism — and but for the blanket American diplomatic cover, it would have been brought to book a long time ago already.
Now, how can India claim to be Israel's collaborator on the terrorism front? It beats my imagination.
No matter the Left parties' passive acquiescence with our Israel policy, I think there is still a strong case intrinsically, without putting on ideological blinkers, to streamline India's relationship with Israel and divest it of sentimentality. Okay, if we get American military technology via Israel that US cannot hand over to us directly. It helps our military's modernisation, after all. Okay, if we learn more about drip irrigation from Israel — we have a crisis in the agriculture sector. Okay, if we learn about animal husbandry from Israel — our cattle class needs a better deal.
Let trade flourish and reach the target of 15 billion dollars. Let there be cooperation In the field of IT. Let us intensify cultural intercourse between the two ancient peoples. We will be doing a great favour already to Israel by mitigating its isolation east of Sinai. But to mix up the relationship with the romance over terrorism (read militant Islam) is asking for trouble.
EAM could simply replace the Portugese FM's speech with his own and carry on at Turtle Bay. But in this case it isn't so easy to swallow what he said on Tuesday. There is a saying, 'Tell me your friend, I know who you are'.

Mr. Hyundai/verna, you cannot deny the following facts:
(a) Israel is a serial violator of international law, an aggressor, occuppier flouting Geneva Conventions by having settlements of foreigners in occuppied territory
(b) Formation of Israel was an act of terrorrist violence in 1948, with ethnic cleansing of palestinians (the words of Prof Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian now resident in the west)
(c)There is no doubt that Israel's Mossad organused a terrorrist attack in Dubai to kill palestinians
(d)Mahatma Gandhi repeatedly expressed himself against any jewish state being created in Palestine. They cant have a "right to exist" as a jewish state on someone else's territory , at someone else's expense
(e) We are still sufferring because of the british inmtrigues of the game of partition of India and Zionists contributed to this by promoting partition of India as a precedent for their own state created on the basis of religion
email@example.com says
Mr. Bhadrakumar, do you have any evidence of Israel's hand behind Mostafa ahmadi roshan's elimination?If Israel sponsoring terrorism,then what Iran is doing over there?Why the so called 'innocent' Arab population jointly attacked Israel after it's formation?Could we call that collective action of Arab states to eliminate a Jewish nation called terrorism?Israel has every right to exist and protect their citizen by doing all type of counter measures.Finally,Israelis have the guts and will to do so as well!

Good morning! The weather turned a little chilly, and we're watching the leaves turn color. It's a wonderful time of year, and the designers are definitely channeling it. They're in the autumn and Halloween spirit. Templates to make scrapping those pictures even easier, and kits to make those pictures just pop off the page!
Before I show you the new goodies, I have to show you some amazing layouts using the new Buffet and the Monthly Mix, "As the Leaves Turn".

Bruins recall F Alexander Khokhlachev from Providence
|11.21.14 at 1:12 pm ET
The Bruins called up forward Alexander Khokhlachev from AHL Providence on an emergency basis so that he will be eligible for Friday's road game against the Blue Jackets.
Khokhlachev, a 5-foot-11, 184-pounder, has a team-high five goals along with 11 assists and a plus-2 rating.
The 21-year-old from Moscow was selected by the Bruins in the second round of the 2011 draft.
Bruins not talking contract with Dougie Hamilton, Carl Soderberg yet
|11.20.14 at 3:58 pm ET
Dougie's Big Contract is on hold, for now.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the salary cap going forward, the Bruins and agent J.P. Barry have yet to begin formal discussions on a new contract for defenseman Dougie Hamilton, who will be a restricted free agent at season's end. Same goes for Carl Soderberg and Daniel Paille, both of whom will be unrestricted free agents this summer and are also represented by Barry.
Barry and Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli have been talking regularly, the agent told WEEI.com Thursday, but the longtime agent said he has no problem being patient as the Bruins wait and see what kind of contracts they can offer Hamilton and their other players with expiring deals.
The agent, who also represents Loui Eriksson and has a good relationship with Chiarelli, sees no reason for concern at this point, saying "I'll know when Peter's ready."
Hamilton is in the midst of the final year of his entry level contract. He leads the Bruins with a 22:34 average time on ice and is tied for third on the team with 11 points (tops among B's defensemen). Playing mostly against other team's top players both as Zdeno Chara's partner and his replacement, Hamilton carries an even rating through 20 games. He is also one of two Bruins defensemen to play every game this season, with the other being Dennis Seidenberg.
The Bruins currently have $49,897,857 committed against the cap to 10 players (not counting Marc Savard) for the 2015-16 season. The cap ceiling is $69 million this season; the Bruins traded Johnny Boychuk prior to the season in order to get under it.
There was an expectation that the cap would increase by $5 million or more next season, but the New York Post reported reported earlier this month that the projected decline in the Canadian dollar might prevent the NHL Players' Association from exercising a five-percent escalator for next season. The escalator will be voted on in June.
Asked about the future of the cap and how it impacts how the Bruins will do their business, Bruins president Cam Neely didn't get into specifics but admitted the Bruins are doing every calculation they can.
"We're constantly thinking about future years," Neely said. "As much as we put a lot of time and effort and thought into the current year, we look at where our team is going to be next year and the following year, especially when you have guys that have contracts coming up or you have guys with term. You always have to look at the math."
Historically, Chiarelli has prioritized getting new deals done for his players either before they enter their contract year or during it, with David Krejci, Marc Savard and Rich Peverley among the players he has re-upped in-season over the years.
Cam Neely: Zdeno Chara 'getting closer'
|11.20.14 at 3:17 pm ET
It's been four weeks to the day since Zdeno Chara suffered a torn PCL on Oct. 23 against the Islanders. His anticipated recovery time was 4-6 weeks.
Chara has been seen around the team at various points, his limp subsiding in the weeks following his injury as he's walked through the press box at games and – if you can believe it — even eaten from the dessert tray on the ninth floor of TD Garden. He could be seen doing agility drills in the hallway Tuesday morning, but he has yet to be spotted on the ice.
"He's getting closer," Cam Neely said Thursday. "I mean, you put that time between when he got hurt and now, there's been a lot of forward progress for him."
Neely said that Chara has handled being out of the lineup well. Given his competitive nature and the fact that he hasn't missed more than five games in any of his previous eight seasons, this might not be the easiest time for the Bruins' captain.
"It's frustrating for anybody that's been out of the lineup for any length of time," Neely said. "Regardless of if you've been relatively healthy your whole career, no one likes watching."
Injuries mean jobs: Bruins' young defensemen should seize moment like those before them
|11.20.14 at 3:14 pm ET
Peter Chiarelli will probably never say how many NHL defensemen he thinks he has again.
Since saying that he felt he had nine this offseason, the number has been tested significantly. After trading one of them in Johnny Boychuk, Chiarelli has seen five of his defensemen get hurt in the first 20 games of the season. Of the nine NHL-caliber defensemen Chiarelli said he felt the Bruins possessed, the only three who haven't suffered an injury this season have been Dennis Seidenberg, Dougie Hamilton and Matt Bartkowski.
That is rough, rough stuff for the Bruins, but it does allow that list of NHL defensemen to get longer. Games played as injury replacements have been the avenue to the NHL for many of Boston's young defensemen, with Hamilton really the only one who was actually given a job to begin his NHL career.
Adam McQuaid filled in for an injured Mark Stuart and took his job in 2011. Torey Krug and Matt Bartkowski earned their sweaters in the 2013 postseason. Kevan Miller and Zach Trotman got their feet wet a season ago with injuries to various blueliners, while Joe Morrow initially came up to replace the struggling Bartkowski this season but will remain in the lineup in part because of Boston's ailing back end.
Krug thinks that's a respectable way to become an NHL player. He feels jumping in to replace a hurt player leaves less room for thinking, which is a good way to avoid mistakes for a young player.
"It doesn't leave you time to think about what could happen or what could go wrong, because you're the only option," he said. "They're putting you in the game and you've just got to go out and do your thing. All the guys that have gone out and done so so far have taken the right mindset.
"That's the only reason I'm here right now, is because there was an opportunity with a couple guys hurt in the playoffs, and I [made] the best of it. I think these guys are doing a good job of taking these opportunities and running with it. It's fun when you earn things like that."
McQuaid had gotten off to a very encouraging start to this season coming off an injury-plagued 2013-14 campaign that saw him dress in only 30 games. With a broken thumb putting his season on hold for 6-8 weeks, the Bruins have to go back to their group of young defensemen for bigger and tougher minutes.
That won't be easy, but given the job that Miller did replacing him last season and the play they've gotten from other young blueliners, the Bruins are confident they can handle the loss.
"Is it a silver lining? It is in a way because we really felt we had some good depth on the back end," Claude Julien said. "I think it's showing now. Whoever we bring up seems to be doing a decent job. A lot of guys that are here now are going to make it difficult for us when it's all said and done. There's a pretty good competition going again on our back end."
Morrow, a 2011 first-round pick, has proven to be a better NHL player than he was an AHL player. Trotman, meanwhile, was replaced by Bartkowski on Saturday and eventually sent to Providence, but now he's back with the NHL club. Neither player was on Chiarelli's unofficial list of nine this summer, but they can add their names to it with strong performances.
Given their injuries, the Bruins' list of NHL-caliber defensemen isn't anything like what it was in the offseason, but as players return to the lineup, the B's could eventually find themselves at a point where they have more guys capable of handling NHL minutes than they did immediately after trading Boychuk.
"I think that number's grown," Krug said. "You're witnessing Joe come in and do a great job, and Trots is getting the experience and he's doing well. I think that number's getting higher and higher. Hopefully at some point, we have that many guys that the coaching staff has to make a decision who to play."
Brad Marchand out for Bruins Friday vs. Blue Jackets
|11.20.14 at 3:09 pm ET
Brad Marchand will not travel with the Bruins to Columbus, coach Claude Julien said after Thursday's practice. Marchand participated in the practice, but shared left wing duties on his line with Matt Fraser.
Friday's game against the Blue Jackets will be the second consecutive contest Marchand has missed due to an undisclosed injury that was suffered in Saturday's win over the Hurricanes. Julien said that Marchand is "doing better," but that he remains day-to-day and the team wants to give him more time to recover.
Dougie Hamilton practiced Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with the flu.

Adam McQuaid out 6-8 weeks with broken thumb
|11.19.14 at 3:14 pm ET
Adam McQuaid is out 6-8 weeks with a broken thumb, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced Wednesday. McQuaid suffered the injury in the second period of Tuesday's win over the Blues when he was hit by a Kevin Shattenkirk shot that went off Chris Kelly.
McQuaid joins Zdeno Chara and David Warsofsky as Bruins defensemen who are currently out with injuries. Kevan Miller and Torey Krug also missed time earlier in the season.
Until suffering the injury, McQuaid had played in 20 straight games, the longest stretch of consecutive play he'd had the last two seasons. He was limited to two 15-game stretches in a 2013-14 season that was plagued by lower-body injuries.
Prior to Tuesday's game, McQuaid had averaged 19:55 per night — the highest of his career by nearly four minutes — for the Bruins, often serving as a top-four defenseman who played against the opposition's better forwards. He had proven himself to be a key piece of a Boston defense that had multiple players go in and out with injuries.
"It's great to be back and a part of things here and being with the guys on a daily basis and being in the same routine," McQuaid told WEEI.com hours before Tuesday's game. "When you're not practicing and playing and traveling, you're still at the rink and you still see the guys and stuff, but it's not quite the same. I'm really enjoying that part, being back in and being on the ice. Feeling like you're a part of wins is nicer than anything."
This is the last season of McQuaid's current contract, which has carried a $1.56 million cap hit for each of the last three seasons. He will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
Both Dougie Hamilton and Brad Marchand missed Wednesday's practice as well. Marchand is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, while Claude Julien told reporters Hamilton is battling the flu.
Hamilton and Dennis Seidenberg are the only members of Boston's opening night defensemen that have played in every game this season. Both players missed significant time last season — Hamilton missed 18 games between multiple injuries, while Seidenberg missed 48 regular-season games and all of the postseason due to a knee injury.
With McQuaid out, it's only logical that Kevan Miller will slot back into the lineup in McQuaid's place. Miller filled in admirably for McQuaid last season, but a dislocated shoulder kept him out for 12 games. He was cleared to play Tuesday but was made a healthy scratch in favor of Matt Bartkowski.

Tuukka Rask: 'When we play Bruins hockey, we can beat anybody'
|11.19.14 at 1:38 am ET
For one of the few times this season, Tuukka Rask felt like the Bruins showed their true potential.
Maybe it was his 33 saves in a 2-0 shutout over the Blues. Maybe it was the better play he saw in front of him in the defensive zone. Or maybe it was just beating a team that could wind up in the Stanley Cup finals. Whatever it was, Rask had a lot to like about the way he and his teammates played Tuesday night at TD Garden.
"Well, it's always a good team we beat, but then again we know when we play the Bruins hockey, we can beat anybody and we're a tough team to beat ourselves," Rask said. "It just goes to show again, when we play that style of hockey it works. Hopefully we realize it one of these days and keep it consistent too."
The Bruins were consistent for 60 minutes Tuesday in an effort that handed the Blues just their second loss in 12 games. Rask was asked if it were the best 60-minute effort of the year.
"It was, yeah absolutely," Rask said. "We started off really hard. Right off the bat we took the puck in their end and played there. The first period was probably the best one, you know, twenty minutes'you're always going to get a little ups and downs through the games but for the most part we kept things tight and played a good game.
"I think pretty much everybody was going today, you know, full 60. We're a good team when we have everybody going. As far as the team effort goes, in a 60 minute effort, that was our best game I think."

Laundry cabinets, countertop and W/D - Pic.
We want to update the laundry room. I appreciate any imput you might have.
Right now, we only have the W/D and a wire shelf (6' wide x 12" deep) with a built in rod. We sort and fold the clothes over the dryer and also place some pieces in hangers, then temporarily on the rod and when we are done take everything to closets. We keek one or 2 of my husband's jackets on the rod, most of the year.
We also have a 24" wide base cabinet on the side with a sink.
We want to buy a new set of FL W/D (see link) if you have a better option, please let me know.
These are my options:
The top one shows the widest counter at 40" H (a bit high but we are tall) and side by side w/d. They do not have tall base cabinets so I will need to place it higher and cover the bottom space with a baseboard or live an open space on top (with a cap)
The second shows stacked w/d and the counter is at standard 36" H. I could have an open area in the base cabinet (for baskets and other things) or all doors.
The laundry is on the first floor and the flooring is leveled. We are on a crawl space.
The third option shows a utility cabinet and a 40" High counter. I could skip the counter and use the top of the w/d or buy a worksurface (the one that they sell with the W/D.
I am not too trilled on installing a rod. I guess I could always use a foldable hanger holder (or a "valet" rod) on the wall.
All the counters will be 30" deep.
Thanks you for taking a look at this!
Here is a link that might be useful: the W/D we want to buy
As you have them, I prefer option 3 ,,, with option 1 coming in a very distant second and I would omit option 2 (that one doesn't work for me at all).
I would definitely put in a counter top, regardless of the option.
My issue with option 1 (and to a lesser extent 3), is the lack of space between the top of the counter and bottom of the upper cabinet. For me, a little more than 1 ft is not enough space for that area to be functional. I'd shift the cabinets higher (since you have 2 feet of unused space up above). At least, in option 3 you can set a laundry basket in the middle and have it be accessible. But even my smallest laundry basket wouldn't fit in the space between the upper cabinets and the w/d.
Even if you don't use laundry baskets, I don't think there is enough space for that area to be functional for say piling a stack of clothes and folding them. Even if you air fold directly out of the dryer and just stack on the counter, 13" or 14" is not a lot of space.
I would shift up the upper cabinets (and use a step stool to access them) as this would provide me with more counter area, but that's just me.
I have a rod over my W/D too, but I don't use it. Because anything hanging on it would be in the way, as I also prefer to use the space over my W/D to fold. I use a valet bar on the wall opposite the W/D, so anything hanging is out of my way.
A suggestion, it might sound silly, but you might want to use tape and cardboard boxes (or whatever) to mock up your proposed plan in your existing space to see if it'll work for you.
Good luck!!
Thank you!
I can raise the cabinets by 6" but remember that the counter is actually going to be minimum 30" deep, maybe 32" so the wall cabinet will be more to the back than standard kitchen cabinets with 24" counters but you have a good point about the baskets, I will measure mine.
The space between wall cabinet and countertop is the same in option 1 and 3 - I just noticed that I forgot to delete the 2" dimension and align the dimension to the counter line when I did the drawing in AutoCAD.
I possibly will end up using a short (maybe 18" tall) open cabinet where I have the rod and use a valet rod as you do.
Thanks for your help
I also vote for #3 and I agree with jlt37869, your upper cabs should be placed higher. Also, I would take the cabinets as high as they'll go and then crown it to the ceiling. The amount of dust that's created in a laundry room is incredible. In my last house, I'd climb up on my counter every few months to dust on top of the cabinets. It was gross! In my new house, we've designed it as I suggested.
One thing that I noticed is that there isn't a sink here. Do you feel it's unnecessary in the way you do laundry or did you just forget to draw it in?
As a side note, I saw a similar set-up as option 2 at Home Depot last week. I liked it. A few small differences though -- they had a sink and lower cabinet door under the hanging rod, beside the lower cabinet they had 3 drawers, and the stacked washer/dryer had a valance over it so it looked more like a built-in. However, I also noticed that there wasn't a lot of counter space -- which for me is a deal-breaker.
Best of luck and I hope whatever option you choose improves your life.
Instead of a counter I have this work surface over my washer & dryer. This makes it easier to access the back of the machines. The raised back keeps stuff from falling back behind.

adding a brick/stone fireplace to existing home
Can a brick or stone woodburning fireplace be added to an existing home?
The answer to your question is yes, but it will cost you. Find a fireplace contractor in your area -- or more than one -- and tell them what you want. Since it is a custom thing, it will be hard to figure out whether the price is fair, but an itemized list should help.
First decide where you want to install the fireplace and what you want it to do. Do you want serious heat or the fun of a wood fire, watching it and tending to it. Traditional wood burning fireplaces are not energy efficient. So if that is a consideration, look into things like direct vent technology.
If you Google wood burning fireplace, it will show you websites of REAL fireplace guys who will answer all your questions, and some you didn't think about.

Sweet Shrub
My native NC neighbor gave me seedlings of a bush she calls "Sweet Shrub." It's very aromatic and makes very large seed pods. What is the botanical name for this plant?
Thanks, claire in sanford
Sweet Shrub/Carolina Allspice is also called Sweet Betsy (my preference). It was the first native plant I was introduced to when I came to NC and I still love it. The 'fruit' is so visually subtle and yet so aromatic. I have two types, both passalongs, so I don't know anything about them except that their leaves are different and one is thriving in morning sun and the other is wilting in a similarly sunny position but thriving in near total shade. The morning sun plant is full and leafy and appears to spread by dropping branches which then root. The shade plant seems to spread underground. And yet the fruit on both are the same.
Claire, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do.
Thanks for the info, folks. My neighbor's bush is growing in more than part shade and doing very well. The babies, among which I adopted my two, were growing in virtually deep shade beneath.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the culinary "Allspice," which I assume is exotic.
My computer crashed Thurs. and we are awaiting Dell's delivery of the replacement. My husband's laptop is better than nothing.
peace, claire in sanford
The edible spice called "Allspice" is not from your Calycanthus. The spice is from a 30-50 foot tall tree with white flowers - Pimenta dioica (a.k.a. Jamaica Pepper, Clove Pepper, or Pimento). It grows in Jamaica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico and would not survive the cold here.
There are two kinds of Calycanthus - C. floridus (a.k.a. Carolina Allspice, Sweet Shrub, or Sweet Betsy) and C. occidentalis (a.k.a. California Allspice, or Western Sweet Shrub). Both are shrubs and the "berries" are toxic if eaten in large quantities and have red to reddish-brown flowers.
I think the leaves, bark, and roots smell like a mixture of sweet fruity spices and the flowers like ripe strawberries.
Sweet Betsy is native here in NC and once started will form colonies, grow up to 8 feet tall but still look like a shrub. I think the fragrance is heavenly and laugh when people go around sniffing gaudy flowers elsewhere in the garden thinking that they are the ones producing the wonderful aroma. The plant itself is very unassuming.
BTW - In Jamaica they make "Pimento Dram" liquor which is made from rum and Allspice berries, not what we think of as pimento that we find in olives. See how important it is to learn the botanical names of plants? Whew!
Ornamental flowering spring shrub, best known for its sweet light, fruity fragrance that can fill a yard. (Calycanthus floridus) Sweet Shrub is native to the Appalachian stream banks of the Smokies, where it is also known as Carolina Allspice, Strawberry Bush, Sweet Shade, and Bubby Blossom. Women used to place the flowers in their bodices as a perfume, hence the name "Bubby Blossom". Sweet shrub was once commonly found as an ornamental around colonial homes, especially south of the Mason-Dixon line. Several large bushes can fill a small yard with the combined fragrance of strawberry, cantaloupe, spiced apple, and burgundy wine. Sweet shrub has a distinctive maroon-red flower about 2" across. It is pollinated by small beetles that were the first pollinators of flowering plants and were instrumental in the evolution of flowering plants, long before bees and flies appeared on the scene. When the flower first opens it has the fragrance of spiced apples as it opens over a period of 7 to 10 days. Flowers first appear in mid-March with a flush of flowers in April, and a trailing out through May. Even the leaves are fragrant when rubbed, and in the fall they turn a sunny yellow. In colonial times the cinnamon-flavored bark was used as a seasoning. Sweet shrubs are ideal for planting close to the house near a window where the fragrance may drift indoors. Plant additional plants by a favor-ite path or sitting area. Will flower splendidly in full sun, but is best adapted to light shade. Flowers in 2 to 3 years from seed. Medicinal: Useful for damp spleen. An excellent herb for moving stagnant chi. The leaves, twigs, and buds have diaphoretic properties. An emmenagogue, and possibly has some anti-viral activity plant in fall about 2 inches in ground
anyway with the history lesson over these thngs are all over the place here n ga i have hundreds of seeds and tons of the plants gotta love greenhouses they can ge grown form cuttings if you guys are haveing a hard tme finding any just shoot me a email firstname.lastname@example.com with a self addressed stamped envalope id be more than happy to send anyone a few seeds to get them started or to trade or whtever :)
A note of good note: 'Venus' is not a cultivar, but a hybrid between several Calycanthus species; Calycanthus chinensis x C floridanus 'Athens' x (C chinensis x c occidentalis) A wonderful effort by NC State's own Tom Ranney.
It's gorgeous, with larger flowers than the native species, and the same wonderful scent. This will be a great garden plant, and comes from here in NC. We should be proud of NC State for this one! Below, a link for Ranney's elaboration on it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sweetshrub breeding
My Grandparents had Sweet Shrub all around their house when I was growing up in East Texas. They said their Grandparents brought it with them when they migrated from Georgia. The old home place has been left to grow up and has smothered out all the Sweet Shrub. I know it's not native to Texas but it did vary well there. I live in Austin now and believe they would do well here as well. I have been unable to find any in this area and thought I would see if anyone would be interested in mailing me some seeds. I believe that is probably the best smelling flower I have ever smelled. It's just above Cape Jasmine. Please e-mail me if sending seeds may be a possibility. Thank You.
if you send a sase i'd be happy to send you some seeds- email me from my page here. Only thing is, please know that there are no guarantees when you start with seeds that they'll be fragrant. My bush is pretty fragrant- seems to depend on the humidity, etc.
Oh both of my Grandmothers had these in their yards. I grew up calling them Sweet Bubby. My Grandmother who lived next door had Sweet Bubby, and the fragrance was heavenly!! She used to make Sachets to put in her clothing drawers from the buds by placing them in a soft linen handkerchief and tying them then laying them in the clothes in the drawer. She used to tell me, "rub those together to release the fragrance" before she would let me tie the ends. She also had a beautiful Wisteria vine, and if you have never had a warm spring night, sleeping with the fan on and a huge Wisteria vine right outside your bedroom window, then don't know what heaven is! She had some of the most interesting plants, and some I still search for today. This is a very fond childhood memory for me! :-)
Just be aware that the straight species can vary a great deal in how scented the flowers are, from very much so to almost none at all. If growing from seed, try to keep as many as you can until they flower, so you can rogue out the unscented ones. If you get a cutting from a scented bush, then you can practically guarantee it will be scented, and the named hybrids/cultivars, to my knowledge, are all selected for scent.
My Sweet Betsy is the yellow form "Athens" and has not a bit of scent. I am very dissapointed because I placed it where the fragrance would be noticeable sitting in the garden chair. It is not a particularly attractive plant without flowers and without fragrance it is bound to be moved off someplace else. I have a native Sweet Betsy that has no scent either. >
Nancy the nancedar
When I lived in NC I had these growing wild behind my house. When I learned I was going to be moving I knew I wanted to take some along with me. When they were in bloom I dug out two of them, from opposite sides of the woods. One I dug for flower abundance, and the other for scent. I brought them both with me to Yemassee, SC and they are doing very well with full morning sun. I planted them together so I could see, as well as smell, a display.
I live in north Texas now, but before 2002, I lived in Salem Oregon. Our yard had a huge hill with many interesting plants absolutely covering it. I also had six dachshunds. The first spring we were there, I was drawn to the vibrating bush about 6 feet tall near the top of the hill. So I crawled up there to see what it was all about. The dachshunds were yanking leaves off the bottom of the bush causing it to "vibrate". The plant had distinctive burgundy leaves with a little gold on the edges. Very primitive looking flower if you ask me. This variety had no odor at all. I wonder what drew the dogs to the plant initially. I guess the leaves are sweet. I looked it up on the Internet and discovered it was the Calycanthus Occidentalis because my main concern was whether or not it was poisonous to the dogs. Fortunately they were just munching on the leaves but the seeds are poisonous though; They contain Calycanthin and other alkaloids. According to a toxic plant list; animals given the alkaloids indicate that the animals suffered strychnine-like convulsions, myocardial depression, and hypotension. Had the lower leaves produced any flowers I would have pulled the plant from the yard. I would worry about tall dogs eating the wrong part.
I love this plant so much. Used to wake up with the smell of cotton candy wafting through my room when I was younger because it was planted outside my bedroom window. My mom has given me numerous cuttings, dug up plants with large root systems, etc. but Never can keep it living. Any suggestions? I live in western North Carolina mountains and have tried planting it in shade, sun and all in between.
Sandy, do you have any native rhododendrons on your lot?
Sweetshrub would probably like the same positioning/soil type as rhododendrons. I'm in the Charlotte area and they grow in part shade (understory) and also in the dense shade of oak and maple. This year, even the 1' tall babies made flowers and it might be because of the odd weather and additional rain.
You might also check on soil pH preferences for sweetshrub and give the soil a bit of granulated lime.

Senior Member
A time travelling dark lord. Calling it right here
Where are people getting the idea he is evil? He clearly is a kind fairy princess. Yes, the fairy princess is a man.
(Sarcasm, before anyone says "OMG U SOO STOOPID.")
I've reviewed everything you've given us so far and, though I'm by no means the most knowledgeable summoner here, I hope that I can help.
What we know:
*He has the ability to turn the tide of a battle to great effect
*Only ever seems to fight for a losing side
*Inspires, not greatness, so much as sheer ferocity in those around him
*He appears timeless and with no central location on the whole of Runeterra.
Being from Ionia myself, that woodblock greatly disturbs me. Certainly I've seen a great many from the breathtakingly beautiful to the mundane but never one like that.
Now, here's what I would recommend:
* Talk to your friend, Amumu. I'm sure he'll value the company but perhaps he's seen something in his travels which could help you, even if he can't remember anything from before.
* Many of your fellow champions could, perhaps, be useful in learning more but are either unlikely to help or are currently busy. You should still, however, make the attempt if you can. Brand, for one, could know something. Do not approach him alone! Take summoners with you if you try to talk to him! I'll even offer my services if you'd like. Xerath could also be of assistance but again, caution is the better part of valor (not to be confused with Valor).
*Seek knowledge from Mount Targon. Leona is a good and kind friend of mine. I'm sure that she'd be happy to help with any knowledge or connections she may have.
*Seek knowledge of the Void. Speak to Kassadin (be wary of the prophet but if you can, speak with him as well). If this has to do with the void and Kassadin is aware, I'm certain he'd jump (or riftwalk) to help you.
*Speak to Nasus. He was once the curator of the Great Library. As such, he may know something. Admittedly, he's not of Runeterra but whatever this figure is may not be either.
That's the best I can currently offer in the form of ideas. However, if there is anything a summoner such as myself can do to assist you in this, please do not hesitate to ask. It would be an honor.
P.S.: The image you found of people revering the statue being unearthed looks more like a figure appearing out of fire while surrounded by reverent summoners to me but I could certainly be wrong.
He shows up in all these gruesome one-sided battles and offers a victory to the losing side in exchange for their humanity.
Whats that you say? There's a war brewing in Freljord? That sounds like the sort of situation where someone may want to win desperately enough to make a trade like that.
I figured it out!
Its Meta Knight!
My guess would be a necromancer of some sort.
Junior Member
New challanger
I'm guessing its going to be a support champ. If its inspiring people into a furious rage, then its probably going to have at least 1 aura. Maybe his passive, or an active like Gangplank?

The Advantage
Anyone who grew up in the '80s remembers the original Nintendo video-game system. Equally memorable was some of the unusual and inventive music written by programmers for the different levels in each game. With all things retro coming back into vogue in bizarre ways, it should come as no surprise that a group of talented geeks would form a cover band focusing on NES game music. The Advantage must have sat in front of the TV for hours on end in order to duplicate those songs with such surprising fidelity -- especially by using mostly standard rock instrumentation rather than some eight-bit synthesizer. The result sounds deceptively like some long-lost Yes song -- that is, until those memories of playing Bubble Bobble, Castlevania and Contra come rushing back. The Advantage puts its game face on this Thursday in the company of Unwed Sailors and Stab! Heart! Kiss! Kill! Embrace your inner child.
