Where Do You Get Your Seed Envelopes?
I've been using tiny coin envelopes to hold seeds for mailing trades. I was able to get them much cheaper than the Canadian Staples price because I live close to the border and found them in the States.
Some folks use tiny ziplock bags-where did you get them and how much?
How about those tiny sheer envelopes that some seed companies use-like Patrick Seeds. Does anyone know where to get those?
I'm sure this has probably been discussed before but when I do a search for "Seed Envelopes" on this and the Exchange forum, I come up with Nothing.
Glassine envelopes(the little opaque ones)are available by mail at Gardens North.

I meant to add,
When searching for seed envelopes......under the search area check off "Entire Eites" rather than "This Forum" and you'll find patterns for a simple folded origami envelope....and pattern printouts which you cut and paste.....if this is your thing that is??? Sorry to be so vague but I can't remember what forum this was from, WinterSowing maybe.
great gardening, Justine
I get my zip-lock baggies at Dollarama - they're in craft items section in my store. They are sold in bags of 100. I've also bought them at Staples, but they charge $5 for a bag of 100.
Those glassine envelopes are probably the best thing to use, but they get to pricey for me - I give out over 300 packets of seeds every year, and I would go broke buying glassine ones! Well, maybe not broke, but it would be too much for me :-)
Wyndyacre - if you can't find any locally, I'll send you a bunch if you want them.
Thanks for the info everyone.
I really like the glissine envelopes. Thanks for the Gardens North Website. I wonder if I can find them cheaper in the States, now that I know what to look for?
I've found those sites for printing off the fancy ones, but one could go broke from the price of colour ink and paper for those! They would be nice if you're making little party favours or gifts for friends tho.
Thanks for the offer BP-I'll have to search thru the dollar stores around here for the ziplock bags.
For now, I can use up the box of coin envelopes I bought-they came 250 to a box for about 5.00 American. The same box was 12.00 in a Canadian Staples!
I guess I'm really cheap!Like the rest of the world there isn't a day that goes by when the mailman doesn't bring me a credit card application or mail from a charity looking for money. I save all the return envelopes (right now I have a couple of hundred in stock) and make seed envelopes out of them by sealing them shut and cutting the size I want off either end. Just fold the top shut and voila! I can also write info on the resulting envelope which is legible and large enough to read unlike the smaller glassine or plastic. Let's face it, I'm frugal. Pam
I've done that for big amounts of seed, and seeds that have some amount of fluff on them. I also keep those envelopes in my handbag for when I come across some seeds I can take. I learned the hard way that I shouldn't just stuff a milkweed pod into by bag :-)
There's a huge difference in how much stores will charge for the same thing, but $12 for a box of coin envelopes seems to be way out there! I hardly ever shop at staples anymore since I can get pretty well all the smaller ticket items somewhere else cheaper. Even packs of padded mailers are twice as much there as at my local stationary store!
Caveat emptor I guess!
I get the mini ziplock bags at Dollarama as well. They seem to be the cheapest place. I also recycle envelopes .. hate to throw them out if they can be used for something else. I have a collection of printable envelopes on my personal website. I agree it can get expensive to print of lots of them. I also have some smaller tags on my website that can be attached to the zip lock bags.
Here is a link that might be useful: Country Roads Gardens and Crafts
I buy a box of 50 small mailing envelopes at Dollarama and use those. There's room to write all over them and I don't have to worry about the plastic sealing in too much moisture. They will also stand up in a box, for filing. They can be cut in half, if needed, for smaller seeds, but this makes them harder to file with the others.
Here I go, raving about this woman's site again. I can't help it: when I find someone who sells a LOT of high-germination rare seeds for VERY little (and is a good person and great resource), I just want to broadcast.
I guess that makes me a gardener.
Anyway, Diane's site has little Glassine envelopes at $1 for 20. I'll post the link down below. I usually spend $5 for a hundred, and that lasts forever. I use them for the teeny seeds, and just plain coin-envelopes (a couple of sizes) for the larger ones.
She's in the USA, which is a bit of a pain in that you have to wait a week or so.
Hope this helps.

Goatgirl, I bow in awe at your manual dexterity (no, I'm not being sarcastic...I know it's tough to tell sometimes when you read someone's typing). I've TRIED to make my own little envelopes for various things, and I end up with lopsoded messes. Or I've torn them and tried to mend them with tape or (once - what a goopy mess!) with glue.
Come to think of it, that pretty much describes my origami attempts too. :0)
Did you find or create any special pattern? It sounds like it would be a good trick to learn.
Here are instructions and diagrams for origami envelopes that I adapted from patterns posted on the web:
double flap envelope (very secure)
top-flap envelope (easier, faster, good for large seeds)
- Bev
for those that like to make their own bags use the Glad press and seal wrap. Cut a stip the size you need put seeds inside and lay a strip of paper with name of seeds on top and press over and seal. It wont go anywhere, you have to cut it open to get the seeds out. You can do the same thing when mailing cuttings to keep them moist. Make a pouch big enough for cuttings, put wet paper towel around ends to keep moist and seal. Put in mailing box and send on its way. Works wonders,
I just bought a box of clear, ziplocs at Michael's Arts&Craft Store today. A box of 175 cost me $2.99 plus tax. They are in the jewelry making section. The size is 2x 3 3/4 inches..perfect for most seed trades. I have never had any large seeds so don't know if they would fit or not. Do you have a Michael's, A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, or Walmart near you? Try going online and look for them. With the cost of gasoline now days, it's sometimes cheaper to pay for the shipping cost as to drive 20 miles out of your way or running all over town to find something. Not to say more convenient.
We are an envelope manufacturer, we specialize in small envelopes such as coin envelopes in white and natural kraft. We also manufacture special seed envelopes with a double fold in all corners so no spillage will occur.

Pink Lady Apples
Inventory, 88 ct : 1.75
This item was last sold on : 03/30/15
Pink Lady™ apples are available in the late fall through the spring months.
Current Facts
Pink Lady apples are grown under very specific conditions, using a very specific process. The characteristics of a Pink Lady apple are dependent on specific factors like the amount space between the trees in the orchards, the thinning of branches to allow for maximum sunshine, and the numbers of days the apples remain on the trees. Pink Lady apples are left on the trees for 200 days, to capture just the right amount of sunshine.
Pink Lady apples are elongated and have an asymmetrical shape. The skin is a vivid green covered in a pinkish blush which becomes a deeper shade of red where the apple was exposed to more sun. Pink Lady apples have a crunchy texture and a tart taste with a sweet finish. The white flesh is juicy and crisp, and offers a "fizz-like" burst of flavor.
Ideal for fresh, out-of-hand eating, Pink Lady apples also make great dessert apples. The crisp apples retain their shape when baked in pies, tarts, and pancakes or poached in wine paired with cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla. The flesh of the Pink Lady apples is slow to oxidize when cut, making it good for cheese boards, sandwiches and salads. The sweet-tart apples lend additional flavor and sugar to applesauce and purees.
Pink Lady apples were developed by a man named John Cripps of Western Australia's Department of Agriculture. They are the result of a cross between Lady Williams and Golden Delicious apples. The variety can only be sold as 'Pink Lady' if the apple possesses the proper color intensity and has the right sugar vs. acid content. More than half of the season's crop does not meet those standards and is sold instead as "Cripps Pink." Pink Lady apples are grown in 15 different countries where the climate is ideal. They are considered to be Australia's number one apple.

The Dip: Chase Utley – Greatest Phillie of All Time?
Posted by The Dipsy, Fri, August 28, 2009 10:55 AM | Comments: 97
Posts, The Dip
This is The Dip, a weekly column penned by our own commenter, The Dipsy. Agree or disagree with what he says? Tell us by leaving your comments.
When we think of the greatest players of all time we shouldn't go by pure stats for often they leave a canvas half painted. There have always been players whose greatness transcends the confines of mathematical computation. Players like Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson, Derek Jeter, and even Curt Schilling come to mind. All have stats, but all also brought something important and out of the ordinary to the game that others didn't.
Chase Utley is not in the same class as the players listed above. But if he and the Phillies perform at current pace for another 5 seasons, he will be. How would history view a World Series winning second baseman who averaged 30 HRs 100 RBIs 100 Rs with a .300 AVG over the span of 10-12 years? The answer would be with a trip to the Hall of Fame, and depending on how long he can extend his career, recognition as the greatest second baseman of the last 70 or so years. Better than Sandberg. Better than Morgan. High praise.
Thoughts: Utley does not play out of position at second base. Unlike guys like Jeff Kemp and Alfonso Soriano, who are hitters that can play second base, he is a natural second baseman who excels at fielding his position. He is a brilliant baserunner. He is regarded as the heart and soul of one championship team and should have opportunities to win more. He is the leader of his team and does whatever it takes to win a game. Although he might make an occasional error, he rarely does anything inherently wrong on a baseball diamond. He plays with the headiness befitting a Jackie Robinson. He exudes the quiet class of Derek Jeter (parade comments notwithstanding) while playing with Pete Rose's earthiness and grit. This is not a man crush – this is just reality.
The Phillies have had great players. Steve Carlton was brilliant but strange. Schmidt, arguably the greatest to play his position, was aloof, off-putting and too casual for many – that's his curse. Utley is a better player than Ashburn and history has obscured the memory of Ed Delahanty. Utley's got the game, the attitude, the ring, and the respect of all with whom he plays. He even loves animals. There has never been a player like him here and the fans adore him like no other that has come before. Philadelphians finally have the player they've always wanted – and that's why he just may turn out to be the greatest Phillie of all time.

Utley doesn't excel defensively …
Utley is a good player.. a VERY good player … I think we need to calm down with mentioning him as the greatest anything though..
He's a career .299 hitter, who averages about 30 HRs, 110 RBIs…and 15 Errors a season

Utley may become the greatest hitting second baseman of all time. Schmidt was the greatest hitting third baseman of all time. In other words, he has a ways to go, and has big shoes to fill to become the greatest Phillie of all time. I hope so, because I would love that kind of offensive output from him for the next 10 years or so.

5 more seasons with his current level of productivity and Chase will be a no-brainer for the HoF and near the top of this list…but not yet.

I think I've been labeled one to not easily dole out praise but Chase Utley is a unique player in a generation where too many have sullied their reputations. I'm not sure whether it is possible to label one, two or even three guys the greatest in the history of a franchise that's seen some great players but Utley is well on his way to being held in the same breath as Shmidt and Ashburn, he's got too long left in his career to be there but watching him is something special.
His stats don't pop out like some others when we expect guys to exceed 40 homeruns, near 150 RBI's and have more gold-gloves than a drag queen to be considered stars but Utley is one. I really agree with the Jeter comparison because there's a guy everyone outside the Bronx loves to hate and rip his legacy to shreds but it wont stick, the guy has impacted his generation in a way no-one can deny and Chase looks set to retire with a career that will make him one of the best all-around 2nd basemen in the history of the game.
On the defensive aspect he is a great defensive 2nd basemen. He's unorthodox at the position but what he lacks in fundamentals he makes up in baseball instincts few in that game today have. Highlight reels of defensive plays seem to be filled almost only with displays of athleticism and how some guys get to balls others can't, Chase instinctively knows how to make plays others wouldn't have though to be in a position to make and we've seen that time and again with him, that's why he's a great defensive player.

I think Dipsy likes to stir up a little debate and get feedback for his totally subjective blog.
C'mon, Utley shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence with the HOF, Michael Jack Schmidt. Baseball's foremost historians have proclaimed Schmidt as the greatest 3rd baseman of all time; not just for his offense but also for his defensive prowess.
Come back here (if this site is still in existence) in about 5 years and see if you can make that claim stand up.

I love Chase and he has become my favorite Philly on todays team. He works hard, plays hard and never complains. He is not a great defensive player but is good enough. Very good hitter. He is not in the same class of Michael Jack or Steve Carlton. Ryan Howard is probably the best Phillies player today. Ryan Howard is a sure hall of fame player. The man has a Rookie of the year award, MVP award, World series ring. He will hit about 550 homers when all said and done. We will see about Chase.

Utley is having the kind of impact at his position that Shmidt had but it's impossible to compare a career in progress to a retrospective on, especially when that one's a HOF career considered to be up there with the best of them.

^Chase is light years ahead of Ryan Howard for HOF credentials, Howard has the awards but he's going to be going up against a bag full of guys with similar skillsets of which all will have knocks on them especially Howard. Chase has the benefit of being looked at from a different angle, as a candidate as a middle infielder his credentials are almost unique and will have virtually no knocks against him.

Did people not read the whole thing? The last sentence clearly states:
Philadelphians finally have the player they've always wanted – and that's why he just may turn out to be the greatest Phillie of all time.
Why he MAY turn out to be, not is, or is becoming, or has become but is on his way to being. Dipsy simply raised a question.
When its all said and done, if Utley continues to produces at the levels he has throughout his career, will he be mentioned, in the same breath as Schmidt and Ashburn?
Simple as that. People are over reacting a bit.

I like this blog, and I like Chase Utley, but this post is just nonsense. I am not even saying it isn't possible that Utley could be the best Phillie ever — but lines like "Utley's got the game, the attitude, the ring, and the respect of all with whom he plays. He even loves animals. There has never been a player like him here and the fans adore him like no other that has come before" certainly don't sell me on the idea.
Let's discuss stats — yes, there is room for the intangibles, but stats are the baseline for a discussion of the great Phillie ever. And if you want to discuss him being a team leader or having "heart" then let's have some examples. Don't give me a laundry list of adjectives that are your opinion and expect me to concede the point to you with nothing else to back up your claims. C'mon.
Also, don't get me wrong, but Utley is not the "heart and soul" of the team — players like Rollins or Victorino are. Utley is a very talented, exceedingly cerebral baseball player that is calculating in everything he does. He rarely reacts to almost anything. He is quiet and goes about his business methodically — which is why, despite the fact that he is immensely talented, the fans DON'T "adore him like no other" — fans like him and appreciate the hell out of, but he's too standoffish to really adore and have a fan-player relationship with.
At the end of the day, this post is, as Bruce said, just designed to stir up a little debate, but is completely lacking anything even resembling journalism. I know this is a blog, but you have to bring a little more to the plate than this.

I believe Utley was moved to 2B because, like Burrell, couldn't handle 3B in the majors, so he has been moved. He does have the chance to be the best offensive 2B in history but the best all-around in my opinion is Roberto Alomar. Alomar was a whiz with the glove and excellent with the bat. So, if you are going purely on offense, then Utley MAY be up there when it is all said and done. Kent was merely good with the bat.
But this is easily the greatest infield in the history of major league baseball. In 10 years people cannot argue that Rollins and Utley were the best in our team's history and Howard definitely has that chance to be the greatest Phillie 1B of all time as well. Hopefully, he will stay in shape and be re-signed in three years!

NJ how do you say Chase is light years ahead for a hall of fame. Not even close. Ryan is in as we speak. His homerun numbers and RBI numbers are off the chart. Chase is not a hall of famer yet. He has a long way to go. He is not in Jeters class yet. I love Chase. He will get there. Ryan is a machine. Yes he ks alot but his numbers are amazing.

Saying Utley is better than Ashburn was is highly debatable but of course they played different positions. Ashburn, in my opinion, was more consistent offensively but of course, he did not hit home runs and rack up the RBIs that Utley does. Ashburn was equal in hustle and maybe a bit faster in speed on the base paths. Ashburn was more of a singles and get on base hitter. I agree with Don M and Bruce. Utley should reach the HOF without any problem but greatest Phillie ever? Not in that category yet. While being a good second baseman, Utley makes his fair share of errors and is inconsistent at the plate. Goes for stretches at times without hitting.

Utley was a 2b … who they tried at 3b in the minors when we had Placido Polanco on the Phillies.. and they knew they wanted his bat in the lineup, but weren't sure where to put Utley in the field
Chase has worked on, and improved his defense in the time he has been in the Majors.. but to that is still the weakest part of his game

Friends – In order to get hip to the premise of the post, one does have to wait and see if Chase can keep up his current pace for maybe 7 more years as a second baseman. I think chances are more likely that not that he will and I think most of you do too. In short, for the argument to make some sense, it requires some realistic extrapolation of Chase's numbers and contributions. Consistency? So far, he may be the most consistent player I've ever seen. And he is universally loved by all Phils fans. More than Howard and Rollins and Hamels. And, if you believe the beloved Wheels, its Chase's clubhouse and he runs it.

Because Chase Utley is likely to go down as one of the best 2nd basemen in history offensively and has peripheral defensive numbers to suggest he's pretty damn good defensively.
Ryan Howard has power numbers in a generation everyone and his dog has great power numbers. He has a lot more to prove in his career to be considered hall worthy when you look at the amount of guys from this generation that are going to be near or have more than 500 homeruns. Vlad, Delgado, Andruw Jones all will be around that plateau, hell Adam Dunn will probably hit 500 homeruns.
I'm not saying Ryan Howard doesn't have the potential to turn in a HOF career but in Chase were watching something special. Ryne Sandberg is 'only' 147th on the all-time homerun list and had a .285 average, Chase is going to be well ahead of those numbers, I just hope he gets some defensive recognition in the same way David Wright has.

^Just to add- If Chase Utley had Ryan Howard's body he'd be going blow for blow with Albert Pujols. Chase is a HOF candidate because he has a 'once in a generation mind' to go along with a body that backs it up, Ryan Howard has a once in a generation body but a mind that isn't backing it up otherwise he'd be up there with Albert Pujols as a 1st ballot HOFer.

Howard OWNS Utley in offensive numbers…
and neither one of them the top defensive player at their position..
Howard would get into the HOF over Utley right now without a doubt
that doesn't mean Howard is the better all-around player.. but that is a debate in itlsef

If Chase Utley had Ryan Howards body.. his swing wouldn't be so short, his bat wouldn't be so quick, and his batting average wouldn't be .300
Guys with no MVP, no Batting Crowns, no Gold Gloves.. and .299 career batting averages.. are not shoe-ins for the Hall of Fame
utley is GOOD .. I haven't seen GREATNESS from him yet.. have you??

I had to agree with the Dipsy on this one. Sometimes when you see a player play everyday, you are more inclined to remember his/her faults more than his/her strengths. Chase is my favorite Phillie because when he's hot, there really isn't anything he can't do. J-Roll is the most out spoken, but Chase is now the team's leader. The only thing that may hurt Chase is the fact that he came up late just as Howard did. I mostly caught the latter end of Mike's career, but the man struck out way, way too much for me especially with runners at 3rd/less than 2 outs. Haven't looked at the stats, so I could be wrong, just going by memory. Chase is widely considered to be well on his way to becoming the greatest 2nd of all-time by MLB. Fans from around the bigs/Commts/players/managers. I tend to agree. Having the greatest 3rd baseman and potentially the greatest 2nd baseman in MLB history isn't too shabby.

This is the difference I do see greatness from Utley but not from Howard. I see Utley as a top 5-10 guy pretty much across the board whereas Howard has a few incredible and then a few pretty average numbers.
I think Ryan Howard will retire with his all-around numbers far inferior to the guy who'll have similar power numbers which I think will hurt him when it comes to tallying votes. Don't get me wrong I think Utley will need to pick-up some silverware past the All-star nods and silver sluggers but I think Utley will get in because of the consistency in his numbers. I see a lot of guys who the voters will look at to compare that could weaken Howard's case whereas I think the comparisons Chase will be given will only help his credentials.
Just a personal opinion.

….and when Chase is cold, he's still more productive and has way more productive outs than Mr. Howard…. and he is less likely(game at Citi with standing) to hurt you defensively than Ryan as well. Even though Ryan, to his credit, has gotten a lot better in that area. Why does Howard continue to wait and catch the ball so close to his body? It has cost us before. Ryan, stop using two hands to catch the balls thrown to you and stick your glove out further. Please

here's a question that I have pondered recently: Who would you rather have on your team, Chase Utley or Derek Jeter. I honestly don't know the answer. It's a crapshoot to me.

Whatever happens, Chase will not be the greatest second baseman of all time. If you take a look at Hornsby's and Wagner's numbers, the both blot out the sun.

Dipsy, aside from the fans' "lovefest" for Utley that you assured us with absolute certainty, you're right to say judgment should be withheld until the numbers are in and the "intangibles" further defined.
However, it's hard to fathom that Utley would even come close to Schmidt as "the greatest Phillie of ALL time". After all, Tim Malcom, one time resident blogger here and supposedly knowledgeable about the history of the game, listed Utley 24th on his personal list of greatest Phillie players. Of course, that would be a tentative listing for current players.
The question that the loyal readers will ask you in the future is will you feel ( it's subjective of course) the same about Utley five years from now? Will Utley aquire the "greatness" for the length of his career? As they say, time will tell.

Jeter has four rings to Chase's 1, but all the steroid allegations about his team members devalues the "results" that Jeter's leadership may have had in my humble opion. Chase doesn't get enough credit because of his demeanor. But his 2run, ist inn homer against the Rays in Game 1 and his amazing play in Game 5 tells us all we need to know.

Bruce – Please see post at 12:31 p.m. Not to be smart, but, can you remember a more popular Phillie in your lifetime? Some people disliked Schmidt. Actually thought he was a creep. People liked Lefty the way they liked getting their mail everyday. And, oh those interviews. For the record, I loved both of them because I knew when I watched Schmidt, I knew I was watching the greatest 3B ever. And Carlton just won. Every time. I didn't care about them as people that much. And I'm not saying that everyone should feel that way.

Dom M— Get ready to be "shocked"! I recall your statement in April that if Chase hit 30 HR and 100 RBI that you'd be shocked! It's clear that you bash Utley every chance you get. It seems his "WFC" declaration last October really set you off. To the point of clouding your objectivity. You have every right not to like Chase, but to always put him down, based on his stats and leadership to this team, that's just pain stupid! Get over it. By the way, the Phillies are the WFC's.

are really going to go back to the 19th century? Come on now. Many of those guys weren't even real ath. back even by 1950 standards Pitchers threw complete games in both games of double headers! Many pitched with broken arms and torn ligaments. The life expectancy was much shorter too. I wonder why?

Jeter did have a great team around him. He is just a great player. Jeter and Chase are alot alike. Warriors. Jeter might be slightly a better clutch hitter. Just a great ball player.

Let's not forget about Sandberg having 9 gold gloves or whatever insane number, a lifetime average over .300 and hit somewhenre in the range of 50 homers one year. I just don't see Chase being able to do that. Definately in my top 3 of all time (or will be) and that is not just my "Man Crush" talking.

I really enjoyed your article and I would agree that Chase has a chance to be the greatest ever – although I would also say that he has a way to go. I for one will be thrilled if he finishes his career in Philly. We may also some day be calling Ryan Howard one of the greatest Phillies ever – although I think there's a good chance he leaves via free agency.
My earliest memories of the Phils was listening to the Phillies on the radio with my dad in the early 70′s – especially on nights when Lefty was pitching. Did you see Hoffman's article comparing Lefty with Cliff Lee earlier this week. He mentioned in one 22 day stretch (from late July through mid August 73 or 74 ) Lefty started 6 games, completed all 6 and gave up a total of one earned run in all 6 games combined. That's incredible legend to surpass.
One point in your article I'd have to disagree on is that Michael Jack being aloof or Lefty being strange took away from their greatness. While I would agree that it took away from how much the fans loved them it certainly didn't take away from how great they were. Let's all hope we can some day say Chase was the greatest Phillie ever – because that would mean we have some seriously good baseball ahead of us.
I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on whether this current team is the best Phillies team ever. I think if they can win one more WS they'd have to be a lock wouldn't they?

Dipsy, yes I can. I'm old (make that very old..smile) enough to have seen Richie Ashburn played CF. He was immensely popular; winning two batting titles certainly helped when playing on a mediocre team. I'm showing my bias since he was my childhood "idol".
Let's not forget several other very popular Phillie players…Roberts, Allen, Bunning, Callison, Cash ("yes we can"), Dykstra and yes, Rose too..to name a few.

Dipsy, after Schmidt wore the wig and sunglasses during warmup prior to the game, the connection was made with fans and beloved thereafter.

Just for the record: Don may be the most-biased person ever in matters regarding Chase WFC Utley.

My problem isn't with Utley as it is with Utley-FANS who for some reason think he's the greatest thing since the cell phone..
Utley is a good player..
Utley doesn't hit for the most power.. doesn't hit for the highest average.. doesn't play the best defense.. doesn't steal the most bases ..
But he is probably TOP 3 in all of those offensive catergories!!! I'm very, very, very glad that Utley is on our team.. but he's not this "GREAT" players YET.
AmazinSux .. I think you're right though.. I probably did say that, because I thought that he would be out longer (I also thought Myers was done for the year though.. so I guess that injury/recovery isn't that big a deal)

Because you guys are ready to build his shrine, and write his Hall of Fame speech for him …
Does anyone think that if they stay on their current paces.. Utley would get in the Hall of Fame over Ryan Howard ??

Don – you may be right about Ryan Howard, but I'm just afraid he may leave the Phils for bigger $ after his contract is up. In my humble opinion if we're agruing who is the best Phillies ever – then you have to give more credit to those who play their whole career here – or at least most of their career. I would say that Rose (& Dyskstra for that matter) had most of his best years elsewhere so he would get overlooked in my book. Let's hope the big guy and Chase both play out their careers in Philly and years from now we can be making these arguments at the end of their careers.

What is this fixation with whether Chase will get in over Howard? They'll both get in for God's sake. And I know I wasn't around for Ashburn but my dad says Utley may be a little more popular. Dave Cash. Loved him. Willie Montanez…..a big favorite with Lonnie Smith, Bake McBride. Personal favorites aren't really the same thing.
p.s. Did we get Hoffman yet?

No shrine. Just reality.. And relax. We're all Phils fans here. If Howard didn't strike out so much, Chase would get a lot more fast balls to hit. Thus, higher power numbers, high slug%, more rbis, higher batting average, and a higher chance for an MVP award….. Tell me another player that played as hurt as Utley did without saying a word. Perdo another Phillie. Thats' about it. Chase had his surgery after the season. He's a Cali guy, but he stayed in Freeze-a-delphia and worked his tail off. Still most experts said Utley wouldn't be back until late May or June. And mutt fans rejoiced. And they told us about it. Remember that? But Chase was back and ready to go by opening nite. Are u kidding me! As HK said "Utley, you are the man!" End of story.

That was my fault with the HOF talk ..
It started by my saying that neither is that great defensively.. and Howard's offensive numbers OWN Chase Utley's ..
I just don't like that 97% of guys in Philly would BLLOOWW our 2b … he's a really good player.. but Rollins has carried us on his back before.. Howard has carried us on his back before.. and Hamels took us over the top last year
yet Utley always seems to be the hands-down favorite.. Yea, he's a gritty player.. that's great.. definitely an All-Star.. and definitely one of the best all-around players in the game .. but when people start talking "Greatest All Time" about a guy who has been in the league 5 years, and hasn't done anything eye-opening or record-setting … its just too much, too soon in my opinion
And when a large chunk of the arguement is "If he keeps it up for 5 years.." that kinda validates what i'm trying to say ..
There is nothing wrong with wanting to wait to crown Chase Utley as the greatest ballplayer of all-time ..

Sorry Dipsy, but the Giants claimed Hoffman off waivers. Though some predict they won't be able to work out a trade. That sucks

Let the waiver line wars begin? Giants put in claim for Hoffman who they really don't need just to make sure the Rockies, Dodgers, Phillies not get him. Smart, but frustrating…. It's Lidge or Myers for the post season? Wow..

I thought about Howard and thought about another Howard…Frank Howard and I'm not sure if he has made to the HOF or not. But if he has then I'd say if Ryan can keep his AVG from dipping below .250 and the strike-outs down then with his improved fielding esp. since Frank Howard and glove + oil and water, he'll a make it. Plus he's also has the ring.
I think Utley could be well on his way to wearing the crown as the greatest Phillie ever. He's a five tool guy. Women want to have his baby. He is the glue that holds the line-up together but not what I think of as a team leader. Cons: the name "Chase", it so Martha's Vineyard or Peyton Place. "Richie" that's a baseball name or J.A. Happ…ultra cool…but the current coolest is R.J. Swindle
I think Utley is more likely than Ryan to see the Fame…
First time i've ever seen a pump fake throw to home
Not a clutch as Jeter at the plate…if he was I'd probably build a shrine

I LOVE this mascara! It makes my lashs long and full and it's like you can see them from a mille away! It does make my lashs stick together alittle bit but i think its just from how i put the mascara on. It lasts through out the day too. It is a ok price. I would and will buy ths product again. :)

Really disappointing. My lashes didn't look flared at all - they didn't even stay curled when I put it on. The brush isn't easy to use either. It clumped, smudged, and didn't lengthen my lashes. Waste of money.

OMG. This mascara is amazing. I'm a huge fan of Maybelline mascaras and I went to my local drugstore and Maybelline was on sale (%50). So I bought it along with One-by-One. After I got home I tried this and WOW and when I say WOW, it really is because I have long, thick and curly lashes natually. After I applied only one coat my lashes looked like I was wearing fake lashes. So I believe this is going to be my new favourite. And I'm already thinking about getting a spare before the sale ends. I really recommend this. Although the result will be different on different people.

i love this mascara so much! it lenthen, spreads, and thickens my lashes. i dont even have to curl my lashes with this! it raises them up and out a the corners exactly how it explains.
my only problem is the brush, its only made one way, im right handed and if i want the same effect on my left side lashes i have to use my left hand, but thats not a huge problem. i would buy this over and over.

Extremely disappointed. I heard lots of people rave about this mascara, so I decided to pick it up. I had it in very black and it did absolutely nothing for my light brown lashes. It didn't lengthen or thicken them, and didn't flare or curl them. Won't be recommending or repurchasing this.

I love this Mascara, my current Favourite, HG DS Mascara...I currently have 10 backups of this...with my initial coat this thing lengthens like no other mascara I have tried. I just LOVE it...makes my lashes look incredibly long, lush and separated to the point where I don't need any other accents on my eyes...sans eyeliner, eyeshadow ect...its ALL I need on my eyes to add depth and drama.

Definitely separated my lashes more than the original Falsies. The original one made my lashes look thicker and more "falsie"-like but it also clumped more and had the tendency to look spider-ish sometimes- this doesn't. It is a natural look for me, which isn't what the product is meant to do but I still like it. It makes me look awake but not too made up. When paired with another mascara, this works well! I like it overall but it was a bit pricey. Also, I noticed many people said it flaked for them- it doesn't for me, even when I use it alone.

Not that impressed! I LOVE Maybelline and think they have the best mascaras out of any brand. Unfortunately this mascara does not live up to their normally high standard. I bought this mascara on the Friday and used in Saturday morning only to find it felt like it was 3 month old already! Dry flaky and kept clumping my eye lashes together. The original falsies is definitely still the best from this range. I will definitely keep buying Maybelline just not this product.

who in god's name thought that the applicator that comes with this mascara was a good idea? it literally looks like it's about to snap into two pieces!! it's too bendy and therefore does not allow for any control, and even though it doesn't clump too excessively on the lashes (after the first application), the brush is terrifying to look at. ugh. I tried several times to figure out a good way to apply this mascara but no dice. it is awful, and am livid that I spent money on it.

I like this but that's about it. It is fine whilst I am looking for something better!
The packaging is sturdy and the handle is a good size.
The brush is a good shape and catches most lashes.
It can clump quite easily and I don't think the 'flared' effect is very noticeable. I always curl my lashes before applying mascara as they are very straight but the curl doesn't hold for very long and I am left with black, straight lashes again.

We recently spent two nights at this hotel. We chose it as we were able to get a 5 star hotel for about a 3.5 star price. The room was big and comfortable and very clean. Some of the best beds I have slept on with comfortable pillows.
The biggest downside is that it is in District 5 which is far from any restaurants or other form of nightlife. There is an hourly shuttly, however, if you choose to do that, and plenty of taxis to take you around. I would have liked to have been a little closer to where there was an option of restaurants and a little closer to the big night market.
Service was good and breakfast was tasty, although the restaurant is very crowded. Not a particularly relaxing experience. We ordered twice from the restaurant for room service, however, and the prices were reasonable and the food excellent.
The only other downside is the very expensive internet (about $17/day). This was the only hotel in VN that charged us for internet during our 11 day stay.
Overall a good hotel though and it depends on what your interests are. If you are content being away from the action in the evening, then it is a good place to stay.

Scams by Mail: I f You Think It's Too Good to be True...
I received a letter a few days ago, that was pretty convincing, even to my jaded, suspicious old eyes. But when I thought I smelled a rat, sure enough, there was a dead rodent just around the corner!
Here's how it was supposed to work: the scammer sent me a letter with a very real looking check for 2498.00 inside, with instructions to call this phone number to verify my name, address, etc., and to deposit their check and use those funds to wire back to them that ammount to cover the taxes and surcharges on the total winnings of 72,000.00. When they received my wire transfer, they would then send me the balance of sixty something thousand dollars by transfer back into my account, but, I was instructed to be cool and confidential, keep it all hush-hush until after it was completed so I would not attract undue attention by my local media....
I spent some time this afternoon looking up the companies involved and they do not seem to exist, or at least, not these exact titles of companies, and not in the exact towns where they are listed. And the email address I was supposed to contact is a gmail account. I am pretty sure that a real sweepstakes company would have contacted me by certified mail, and would have had some very clear contact information on their correspondence!
Beware, folks! There are lots of unscrupulous people in the world that are dying to separate us from our hard earned money.
Allison, the disgusted.
Sorry, Allison.
You were smart not to respond, and smart to investigate.
It takes some time for a deposited check to clear -- the crooks count on that. By the time it bounces, you've wired them your own money and it's too late to get it back.
Thank you for warning us, too. I had seen this kind of thing in an e-mail, but didn't know to watch for it in the regular mail.
You are most welcome for the warning, for that is my exact intent. It would have been so easy to trustingly take that letter and check at face value, cash it or follow their instructions. But by the time you found out it was a bad check, they could have cleaned out your accounts!
I worry about older people getting scammed like this. In my line of work I second and third guess everything and everybody. Suspicion in a byword for my occupation. But millions of innocents still live in America, and there are not enough WatchDogs to protect them all. If any one of us finds something of this nature, we need to tell everyone about it, and get it investigated. My letter and check will be heading to the Postmaster of our town tomorrow afternoon.

This really needs to be a cross buy game that works on the 3DS. I'm not playing GBA games on the big screen, and I'm certainly not buying them to play in that format. I have the GBA cartridge and would play on the Cube's GBA player if I wanted to!
I was hoping for the old Mac game, Apeiron, a wacky Centipede type thing that hasn't been seen in 20 years. Sad face.
I'd like to see the Rogue Squadron games back on the list, please. A remade sequel would be better than a simple remake, as the GOG release of RS3D showed how much this game has aged, but it's still fun.
F-Zero X and SM64 would be nice, but unlike Rogue Squadron, they look and play great in emulation (Nvidia Shield!) so it feels not-urgent to me to see them on 3DS.
I love the way the internet does away with stupid things like artificial scarcity. Now anyone who wants to play these games can do so at a reasonable price.
It's not like the scalpers are adding any value by jacking up the price of a "rare" piece of plastic. They didn't help create the game, and that extra money doesn't do anything for Nintendo.
It's very cute, and the price is right for something with a real stick and buttons, a telescoping head, and a cartridge slot.
I'm finally awakening to the reality that pretty much anything can run NES games, including those $50 Windows tablets at MicroCenter and certainly any phone with a touch screen. Too many years (and too long ago) spent in dingy arcades on giant cabinets make me think that this moldy old tech is somehow sacred!
These are great games at great prices. They're from the time I pretty much stopped buying Wii games, so I'm happy to grab all three at such a nice discount.
I guess none of this should come as a surprise.
None of the other new 3DS units in other countries came with a power adapter. The US got it with the 3DS XL but no one else did.
The smaller (non-XL) 3DS doesn't really fit in a pocket any better than the big one.
I'm going to stick with my red XL. It would be nice to have a faster OS, but it still works great once a game is launched.
I want to see an eshop update to Intellivision Lives. I think that in the bad old DSi store days, it was rejected for looking too old and stinking up the store, and possibly something about not wanting emulators other than Nintendo's own. I'd love for it to make a return.
I would like to see a return to this series, but it was probably too soon at the time. I can imagine the reviews ripping apart the janky waggle controls and the overly-familiar set pieces from the previous two games.
I guess this is as close to Rogue Squadron 3D as we are going to get? Sigh, okay I'll take it.
Flash cartridges are good. Artificial scarcity is bad.
I'm ready for this one as well — the DSi version flew under my radar but I really like this kind of game. It's the closet we're likely to get to a portable Rogue Squadron.
@HeroOfCybertron Probably Capcom, and probably for financial reasons. Maybe just maybe they're finding that selling v.3 of an arcade fighting game for $40/unit doesn't fly in this market. In other words, they're probably shrinking out of desperation, not just greed or stupidity. All speculation on my part but that's what internet comments are all about.
When I think of 3DS and Vita, I think Nintendo, Sony, and Indie games. Maybe a little Ubisoft since they're on everything. I can't recall any big name portable EA games since their licensed tie-ins to The Lord of the Rings. I wouldn't think that their $30 Plants vs. Zombies packages did well in sales.
It's probably simpler (and therefore cheaper, which means more profitable) for them to develop for mobile. Their driving games have been pretty fun and they have Popcap and Bioware. I don't hate them as much as many people do. Unlike many other game studios, at least they are still in business, and much of that is probably because of what we see as duck moves.
Nintendo's controller support is a confusing mess of extra crap to lose, break, and charge. It's nice that they're supporting the old controllers, but without a rerelease of the (excellent) Wavebird, this just adds a mess of cords to the otherwise nicely wireless Wii U console. Adding in these retro things now is similar to supporting the Gameboy Link Cable accessory.
Of course, if they remake the Rogue Squadron games in HD, I'll forgive them for adding so much crap to my game drawer.
I wish Super Mario Bros 3 were "cross buy" like Sony or Apple (buy once, play on Wii U and 3DS) but I guess we can't have that ... at least I get the Wii U for a sharp discount since I have the Wii Virtual Console version, right?
Very excited for this. I wish they hadn't pooched the release of Outrun 2006 (no US PS3 version, pulled Steam version, no digital PSP release) but M2 Outrun on 3DS could redeem them. Given the pattern of the last batch, maybe the west will see an autumn release?
Aren't April Fool jokes supposed to be funny?
Such a great game. Am I correct in thinking this is "only" the second 3D remake, the first being the 3D glasses version on the Master System?
This is really bizarre ... why would anyone want ANY of those portable games on a big screen? They already look silly-bad on the 3DS XL, and that's still pretty tiny.
If these games were to be remade completely, maybe I'd be interested, but as they are? I'd prefer to keep them portable. Add SNES and N64 games to the 3DS while you're at it.
I would love a portable version of this game, or maybe one of its many sequels. Tekken and Street Fighter are already on everything, why not VF? It's criminal that this hasn't happened already.
Until then, Dead or Alive is a decent substitute, some technical fighting with a clean control system. The old Saturn version was great. The current iteration of Dead or Alive is brilliant on Vita and not too shabby on 3DS.
While we're asking, how come Dead or Alive and Tekken aren't digital downloads on the eShop in North America? I'd buy them again ...

Lovely complex in a quiet area. Walking distance to beach,restaurants, supermarkets etc. No need for a car. Regular buses to all areas.
Didn't meet Oliver but Ben 's help was invaluable. He provided lots of local information which enhanced our stay and was very welcoming.
My fiance and i had a lovely 6 nights staying here in early May when the weather in Marbella is simply the best. The studio apartment was a little smaller than we expected but a cosy home from home for us. I think for 2 people its ok but 4 would not work. The apartment is well laid out for a small space and all the fixtures and fittings are of a high modern standard. The gardens and pool are really lovely and very quiet and relaxing.
The location is very good. A 15 minute easy stroll into Puerto Banus and slightly longer into San Pedro. Mistral Beach is 5 minutes walk away and there is a garage where you can pick up the very basics next door and the nearest large supermarket is further away in San Pedro or Puerto Banus.
We met Pepe on arrival who showed us the ropes and gave us the key who also collected the key and gave us a lift to the bus station when we left. He was very helpful and nice.
All in all a lovely small apartment in a great location with a beautiful garden and pool.
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment, it is beautiful! And Oliver was most helpful and communicative. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much, Oliver, for a wonderful holiday!
The apartment was comfortable and the pool was large and quiet. The supermarket is within walking distance, I didn't however, try any local restaurants. Nice community feel.
The property its self is fantastic with a great outdoor area and plenty of space throughout the house. The location is also very handy. Dawn from the property management company was very helpful.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend to large groups or families.
