Thanks to all for help with my previous post. I'd like to ask some advice on something else:
I have a sub models that I started more than 20 years ago and managed to save all these years. I started it with a red primer coat of enamel paint. To resume the project does anyone recommend that I continue with enamels, if available, or should I strip off the old paint with thinner and start over with acrylics? Can you paint over enamels with acrylics?
Thanks again for any guidance.

When Lionel Messi first arrived at Barcelona on trial at the age of 13 he already looked like a star in the making.
Even back then he was playing in the way that he does now - week in, week out - and he certainly hasn't disappointed!
Pep Guardiola realised in the last couple of months of his tenure that Messi was saturated and needed a little bit of 'fresh air' and Tito Valanova has supplied it by giving Messi the freedom to do whatever he wants.
Now whenever he intervenes in play, every action has meaning and threatens danger; as his record goal-scoring run proves, he has become the ultimate forward.
Even Messi can't do everything on his own and he was helped on Sunday against Real Betis by the movement of Alexis Sanchez, who cut inside and took the full-back with him, giving Messi the space he needed for his first, while Andres Iniesta's back-heel set up the second.
Falcao has to be up there with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when you analyse his sharpness and effectiveness.
Guillem Balague
Quotes of the week
So it definitely helps to have the calibre of players around him that Barcelona possess - but that doesn't mean we aren't seeing something completely unique.
Unique is also a word that applies to Radamel Falcao's finishing.
There is a false debate doing the rounds at the moment asking whether he is the best striker in the world. When debates like this crop up we have to look at them through different eyes, because Barcelona (and Messi) have proved that you can be a striker without being a number nine.
That said, Falcao has to be up there with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when you analyse his sharpness and effectiveness.
Interestingly enough, I think that if Ronaldo was a number nine - and only a number nine - he would be as good as Falcao.
Anyway, Falcao is helped by the fact that Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone asks him to stay around the box and to play with only one or two touches; if he sees goal, he has the licence to go for goal every time he can and everybody will forgive him if it doesn't go in because when it comes down to it, his fellow players know that he makes the difference to their fortunes.
Mesut Ozil completes the trio in this week's tale of three players.
This season is an emotional roller-coaster for him. Jose Mourinho keeps on giving him the stick, with the occasional piece of carrot thrown in, and when he scores - as he did twice against Real Valladolid - the coaching staff, in this case assistant coach Aitor Karanka, who did the press conference, say that he defended well!
But that's how Mourinho works; he demands absolutely everything from everybody at all times.
That's why his regimes don't tend to last as long as they might; he is constantly asking for more from the players, the staff, the fans and even the media!
Interestingly, Guardiola could have signed Ozil before Real Madrid but decided not to. Was that a mistake? Or was the simple fact that he had enough players?
It's official. The winner of this year's Ballon D'Or has been decided. The trouble is, nobody's saying who has won and nor will they until January 7.
I'm indebted to fellow journalist Paul Kelly, Ireland correspondent for the publication France Football and one of the voters for the eventual winner, for putting me right, after I suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the Madrid derby would help his chances in the 2012 poll.
Paul tells me that the voting closed on November 8, so no performance since then will count in the final analysis.
The names of Iniesta, Messi and Ronaldo published last week sounds like a final shortlist for voters to choose from, but in reality the result is known at this stage. It's just that FIFA and France Football won't release it until January 7.
He also goes on to explain the history of the award and just how the votes are cast for the eventual winners.
Between 1956 and 2009, he tells me, the Ballon d'Or was organised by France Football with the vote being confined to football reporters only and that the vast majority of selections were very worthy.
For example, Matthias Sammer won the award in 1996 following his starring role in Germany's success in the 1996 Euro finals and Borussia Dortmund's second Bundesliga crown in succession.
However the same year in FIFA's World Footballer of the Year, elected by national team coaches and captains, it finished 1. Ronaldo; 2. Weah; 3. Shearer, with Sammer not making it into the top three.
In 2010 FIFA bought the prize from the Amaury Publishing Group and it is now voted for on the same basis as the former FIFA prize.
The electorate now consists of three colleges; journalists, (whose votes are collected by France Football), national team coaches and national team captains, (whose votes are gathered by FIFA).
Messi won it in 2010, ahead of Xavi and Iniesta, but in fact under the old system it would have been won by Sneijder who received the journalists' vote that year.
In Paul's opinion the change in format since FIFA bought the prize has tended to favour the biggest name contenders.
The old Ballon d'Or 1-5 voting system up to 2009 was more subtle: a fourth preference (worth two points) could influence the outcome, whereas the current system (worth five, three, and one points/point respectively) is less sophisticated.
It is also worth noting that there have been some glaring omissions in the 23 strong short list (down from 30 since FIFA took charge of the award). Diego Milito's exclusion in 2010 was beyond belief, while David Silva's failure to make the list this year was hard to fathom.
The same goes for the coach award. Sir Alex Ferguson won nothing in 2012 but was listed, unlike trophy winners Simeone, Girard and Renard who failed to make the list.
And before you ask how Paul and his colleague Jimmy Magee, who made up the Republic of Ireland jury, voted you should know that voters are not allowed to disclose their choices prior to the result being published so I'm afraid we'll all have to wait until January 7!

Hi! I just wanted to ask you to investigate the record of Zambian played Godfrey Chitalu who scored 107 goals in 1972, the same year Mueller scored his record tally of goals. Messi's record should not stand since Godfrey Chitalu scored more goals than him in a calender year. Fifa are investigating the complaint made by the Zambia FA and they are looking for the evidence. What is your opinion on this matter? Messi's record should not stand.

Sai Karthik (Manchester United fan) says...
I really feel bad for Sneijder. He was robbed off a great honor like the Ballon d'Or. It has become as if the Ballon d'�r is awarded to the most talented football player rather than the best performing player that year. If this continues to be the case, then it is pretty much a foregone conclusion that it'll be a two-horse race every year just like the la liga title race is.

Marcin Gargala (Barcelona fan) says...
Hi Guillem, The methods of the editors of one of the most "respectable" newspapers in Spain - Marca- amazes me. Firstly , they only give one goal to Messi name in a game against Bilbao altough officialy it stands as 2 goals, On the day when all the world was talking about Messi's record breaking 86 goals in a calendar year , according to Marca - Messi only scored 85 goals , so from they point of view no record broken yet. So what has Marca done ? After reviewing Muller's goals , they decided to bring his tally down to 84 claiming that his goal in an international match vs Russia was an own goal! Therefore according to Marca , Messi beat the record having scored 85 goals!! This newspaper has lost it's credibility in my eyes. What is your comment on that ? Now, isn't it a

Fraz Bari (Real Madrid fan) says...
Fantastic idea to put on Ballon D'or information Guillem! Really great to know! My question is: Despite Barcelona's statistics in the recent years, Is Barcelona really that good how people mention it and compliment it? Is it really the best team in history? Because, there have been many teams in the past as well enjoying glory in it's own days, e.g. the Cruyff Dream Team, Di Stefano's Real Madrid etc. Did they also get the praise of today's Barcelona and do they deserve it today?

Arinze Okonkwo (Arsenal fan) says...
Regarding the voting for the Ballon D'Or, I suppose it is a question of whether votes being cast are recognising players and managers who have excelled in the period under question - or whether the best players and managers in that period are being recognised regardless of how much they have won. I suspect FIFA would tell you that the former is what they recognise, even though history suggests the voting colleges recognise the latter. It explains why Henry never won either the World Player of the year of Ballon D'Or, while Michael Owen won the Ballon D'Or in 2001. I also do not think it matters whether you win things or not in the year under review to be considered for such honours. In 2012, where the likes of Salomon Kalou, Ryan Bertrand, Oriel Romeu and Fernando Torres won both the Champions League and FA Cup, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who accepts that either of these players have had a better year than Messi. Overall, nobody can question Ferguson being named as one of the final contenders. For the past 15 years, he has been one of the top 3 managers in the world. This is coming from an Arsenal fan by the way.

Hi Guillem, Re Falcao, Is he not one of these players that is great against teams below the top 6 a la Gareth Bale, But when it comes to the crunch games against the better teams he is found wanting? I have watched him recently against Real and he was anonymous and again last time out against Barca. He is scoring for fun yes, but for me he hasn't done it against the best yet, and with teams looking to part with �50m + for him, he could be a gamble come Champions League time.

Hi Guillem. As an Everton fan i'm a big admirer of Mikel Arteta. Why do you think he's never been given a chance by Spain? He and Xabi Alonso are a little bit like De Niro and Pacino for me and while Alonso was at Liverpool it was the opinion of many that Arteta was out performing his good friend Alonso. Fortunately for Alonso though, Liverpool were in the champions league then and Alonso was part of the team when they won it. Do you think though had Arteta been lucky enough to be playing in the champions league at the same time, would he maybe have been given the chance by Spain?

Guillem, in researching your Guardiola book, and spending time with the man himself, di you get any indication of his preferred destination for his next job? He strikes me as a guy who keeps his cards close to his chest but i sense he would like a challenge, and while guiding City to a European Cup or revitalising a mediocre Milan team would represent one, do you feel his skills would best be suited to Arsenal? They seem to have a similar ethos and youth infrastructure to Barca, are London-based etc... and if the possibility was touted, Wenger might be reciprocal to the idea?? Thanks Conor

Marsel Konomi (Barcelona fan) says...
Hi Guillem, nice to read your blogs as always. I have a remark though. I don't think Cristiano would fit very well as number 9. A number nine has very narrow spaces and he is not as good as we expect from him (or other great number 9 such as Falcao) dealing with narrow spaces and being surrounded by all sides from opponents. He needs the space to exploit his speed and he is not very technical if he cannot use his pace for disorienting his opponents

Khaled Ibrahim (Real Madrid fan) says...
Hey Guillem, Always look forward to reading your posts, and hopefully we'll find away to get revista shown in Kuwait. My question is in regards to the consequences of having Ronaldo in Real Madrid. Ronaldo is always going to be in the lineup because of his talent and the marketing and financial aspects to it, however i believe that only without the Ronaldo type player ( mandatory starting lineup super media attention arrogant portrayl etc...) will Real Madrid truly evolve and devlop as a team, allowing more focus to be on the team and other supremly talented players (Ozil, Benzema di Maria Higuain etc...) & also allow players to play roles that suit their style more hence getting thebest out of them and not have to shuffle around to see what will best suit Ronaldo. Do you think Real Madrid can only develop as a team and will other players finally play to their best abilities had the Ronaldo Situation not been, and would you happen to know whats up with his horrible dribbling? Thank You!

Ryan Johnson (Liverpool fan) says...
Hi Guillem, Liverpool are in desperate need of a clinical finisher and attacking winger. Being only 4 points off the Champions League places can Liverpool still attract any stars such as Llorente or Cavani in January (Suarez may influence the move)? Having signed Nuri Sahin on loan will Rogers continue to bring in quality instead of quick fixes? I'm sure if they buy a world class player even on loan they will be competing for a Champions League spot.

by Kristen Schaub A huge sounding speaker with a compact footprint Treat yourself to enveloping, wraparound sound courtesy of Definitive's BP-8060ST Bipolar SuperTower™. It uses a unique driver design with both front- and rear-firing speaker arrays to surround you with rich, lifelike sound. This slender tower also adds a built-in powered subwoofer to the bottom of the cabinet for intense bass. Even in large rooms, every listener will experience a huge, three-dimensional soundstage with both music and movies. Plus, this speaker has attractive high-gloss black top and bottom caps with a cloth grille-wrapped enclosure for a sleek look. Advanced bipolar speaker technology immerses you in detailed sound Front and rear speaker arrays work together to create enveloping sound. Here's how it works: direct sound from the front two midrange drivers and tweeter arrives at your ears first, to provide clear, focused imaging. That's followed by sound from the rear mid and tweeter, which is slightly delayed, to enhance spaciousness. The combination creates a lush, seamless soundstage that's more like the way we hear sounds in real life. And thanks to Definitive's Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) drivers, your music and surround effects will sound incredibly clear, allowing you to pinpoint the soloist in a band or the direction of a jaguar's call in the jungle. Cutaway view of the BP-8060ST's drivers Powerful bass built right into the cabinet At the base of the speaker is a 10" side-firing subwoofer coupled to two passive radiators. This trio creates a total surface area greater than that of a traditional 15" woofer, but with better bass control, speed, and detail than a single huge woofer could achieve. A built-in 300-watt amplifier powers the subwoofer, delivering hard-hitting bass that eliminates the need for an external sub. And because a subwoofer is built into the cabinet, bass output is already perfectly blended with the mids and the highs. All you have to do is set the bass volume to match your room and taste, then sit back and enjoy your music and movie soundtracks. Build a complete Definitive Bipolar home theater system using perfectly matched centers (see the CS-8040HD, CS-8060HD, and CS-8080HD) and bipolar surrounds (see the SR-8040BP and SR-8080BP). Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

Loved DefTech until amp failed Written By Anonymous, Louisiana on Friday, April 17, 2015 I loved these speakers they sounded great, until the amp started failing. No signal was going to the speaker and the back LED would flash Red, Definitive said it was a firmware issue. This started in March, DefTech said the amps are back ordered until July. So basically I spent a lot of money and the amp/sub piece is dead. Pros: Sounds great Cons: Powered amp is garbage.
Awesome speakers Written By Greg, Denver, CO on Sunday, March 08, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love these speakers. They sound great. Pros: Awesome bass and clarity. Cons: None so far!
Great speakers Written By David, Utah on Friday, January 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding tower speakers. Clear mids and highs that my jbl studio series speakers lacked, which these replaced. I tend to listen to movies and music bass heavy and these speakers with the built in subs deliver adequate bass. I've tried the built in subs with and without the lfe input. Although optional, the lfe input gives the listener a little more control over the bass level through the receiver which I prefer. Vocals are nice and clear as well. The power cords are visible for the powered subs so they need to be routed in some way to reduce their visibility. Pros: Built in powered sub woofers clear up floor space. Cons: Top caps that can be removed for the a60 atmos speakers fall off too easy. Visible power cords for the built in powered subs.
Def Tech BP 8060st Written By mike, Waterloo Nebraska on Saturday, November 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) the speakers are awesome you are totally immersed in beautiful sound. Pros: it's nice not having a separate subwoofer to place somewhere Cons: if you have a cat with front claws beware!
amazing Written By roni, ny on Monday, September 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought me 2 of these babes and I am completely satisfied with the sound output and quality. Pros: Crispy clear sound Cons: None
Best thing since my first car! Written By Steve, Midlothian, Virginia on Thursday, March 13, 2014 I researched speakers for over a month before deciding on these. I made an excellent choice. These speakers are amazing. I used my Yamaha RX A2010 to drive them. Incredible range on them from the low bass through the mids, and into the highs...these speakers kick butt! Love them, love them, love them! Assembly was easy. Just a couple screws to drive in. The speakers were very well packaged in the boxes to afford maximum protection. I'm hoping to purchase another pair for the other end of the house, along with another amp to run through the Yamaha and drive these bad boys! Pros: Very nice, sleek design. Beautiful finish. Fantastic sound Cons: Took me 52 years to find them!!
BP-8060ST Written By Thomas, Texas on Thursday, February 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got these around Christmas when they were giving the center and surrounds for free with the purchase of the floor standing speakers. In stereo or as a home theater system they sound great. The only things I could complain about would be the screws for the feet, broke two of them off screwing them in. Other than that the knobs for the subwoofers turn really easy and would better if they were a little stiffer, but like I said the sound is great and they don't take any more room than speakers on stands. Pros: Great sound, no need for a separate subwoofer, small footprint, build quality. Cons: Installing the feet to the speakers can be a pain since the screws don't want to go in all the way (wood screws work).
Great Speakers Written By Gary, Rogers, AR on Thursday, February 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been a fan of Definitive speakers now for several years, and I've been wanting a set of towers ever since I first heard their smaller speakers. I decided to jump on the deal for 2 towers with a center and 2 surrounds, and I have to say I haven't found anything that doesn't sound amazing on them. Even with being so happy with them i have been extremely disappointed with an issue with one of my towers. I've owned 12 different Definitive speakers now, and I've always been happy with their build quality never finding any issues. That was until i started playing some music with heavy bass, and then I started hearing a rattle from one. After contacting support via email they asked me to remove the sleeve, and make sure the sub screws are secure. I validated they were (one is still slightly loose), and found that i couldn't reach some without removing the back panel. I was advised it was ok for me to remove the panel if needed. Once removing the panel I immediately found the issue was two wires misrouted on the wrong side of a padded wire, and this put them laying on the lower radiator. It was an easy fix of moving them to the right side, but not something i expected from a high end speaker. I contacted support back with the findings, and to date have not even received an apology for the mistake.. I was able to easily hear this rattle from 12 ft away with loud music I'm shocked it made it through QC. I'd love to give these a 5, but based on this issue i'm going with a 2. Pros: These speakers won't disappoint with sound. I have a large living room, and they easily fill it with incredibly clear sounds. They have crisp highs, and enough bass you can feel the action in the movies you're watching. Cons: Honestly wished i could say there aren't any, but I have to say quality control and support. I'm an engineer, and fixing the speaker wasn't a big issue. I'm more frustrated by the fact i had to do that on a speaker at this price, and the fact their customer support didn't even acknowledge this was their fault.
Great speakers Written By turkiye, Winston Salem,NC on Friday, January 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased a pair of Bp8060s to go with Def Tech center channel and 2 Def Tech rear speakers . They really make my 5.1 system have clear highs and no booming base. My new Sony kdk65w850a has paired with these speakers well. COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Pros: Great match, speedy delivery Cons: None
Best Purchase Written By CarolW, Keller, TX on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I saw these speakers in a Crutchfield ad at Christmas and decided they would make a perfect present for my house. I was right! They sound remarkable!! I couldn't be happier. The free center channel and surround speakers were just another added bonus. The dual subwoofers (one in each speaker) really add to the bass quality and eliminate having that ugly box on the floor. I have definitely become a Definitive Technology fan. The feet add the perfect amount of stability and the speakers are just beautiful looking. These get an AAA+ in my book. Pros: Contained subwoofer, crisp highs and bass, great looking. Cons: None.
Slim, sleek, beautiful sounding speakers Written By JerricR, River Forest, IL on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been a fan of DefTech speakers for a while now. When I set-up our new media room, these were on top of my list for front speakers. The package deal that Crutchfield has (buy two of these and get matching surround and center speakers) made the financials very easy to justify - this is just an incredible value. We've been very happy with the performance. Rich, warm sound. Accurate and a full soundstage. Highly recommended. Pros: Beautiful sound, sleek speakers. No need for separate subs. Cons: None
Very Impressive Written By musicloverAG, NJ on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love it! Am Very happy with the sound quality. Was skeptical about the large speakers not looking good in the room. But having a large family room they were perfect besides the media console Pros: Crutchfield Service is great!
not bad. Written By Anonymous, louisville KY. on Monday, December 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I may have been expecting more. But these little dudes kick butt. I had to replace my altec 510`s bi amped to save space. Also went to a receiver driving almost the same power as my old carver stuff for space and less cables. speaker`s seem to be missing some bottom end mid`s. I should have save`d and purchased the 8080`s. I was hopping to get rid of my sub too but that ain`t happening. Don`t get the problem with putting the feet on, learn to use a cordless drill people. Pros: Very good sound for the size. Cons: Missing some upper base or low mid`s or both. Keep your subwoofer.
GREAT HI-END SPEAKERS! Written By Phil D, Carrollton, GA on Monday, November 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After purchasing a set of Definitive Technology speakers 15 years ago and being totally satisfied, I contacted DF directly and they gave me the current model number that would be close to that model, although these could handle greater output. I ordered another receiver with greater output, so as to maximize these speakers. Got everything hooked up and . . . WHOA!!! These blow away my earlier set and will be the ones I order for my office next. Crutchfield had these speakers delivered 2 days after ordering - MD to GA in 2 days . . . perfect! Pros: Fabulous speakers output and Crutchfield's service is second to none!!! Cons: Expensive but worth it!
Pros and cons Written By James, USA on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My pair of BP-8060ST sounds good, especially with the matching center and surrounds and a good receiver. I have an issue with the bass, but I still enjoy these speakers when I watch movies, listen to music, and play games. Pros: The mid-range and higher frequencies have a smooth and clear sound. They make my ears melt like butter. Cons: I set these to Large in the receiver and let the speakers take care of the crossover. The frequencies between 65hz and 95hz dip in volume significantly. Also, the lowest frequency that can be heard with any significant amount of impact is around 30hz. Frequencies lower than this are still there but barely audible. For the money, I hoped for something a little better. I could add a dedicated subwoofer, but it would defeat the purpose of getting these full-range speakers, so I don't know...
WOW Written By Anonymous, Hillsdale, MI on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers have punch, low-end power and crisp middle and highs. They are excellent! I retired my Klipsch Chorus II's for these, and I have no regrets at all! They are a lot smaller than I expected, but that's a good thing, as I wanted to shrink the space occupied by speakers. Pros: Crisp! Cons: I find the lights on the back confusing; sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes not at all. Bought mine from scratch and dent section.so perhaps there is a glitch, but the performance seems fine.
Great for the price Written By Mel, Boise, ID on Monday, October 28, 2013 I got these last year with the same "buy 2 get a bunch free" deal. Once they are broken in they sound amazing. The rear firing tweeters really gave me auto setup some problems but once I manually set them up they sound great. Pros: Great sound at this price point Cons: Size, show an unbelievable amount of dust
Definitive Technology BP-8060ST Written By Anonymous, waldwick, nj on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very happy
Fantastic Speaker! Written By Ryan, Stillwater Mn on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I could not be happier with these speakers. I paired them with the matching 8060 center channel and they fill my 20 x 25 family room effortlessly. The bass response is smooth and linear from the built in subs. I don't have a need for a separate standalone subwoofer. Assembly and setup was a breeze. Pros: Full crisp sound. Excellent for movies and music. Cons: None so far.
Holy Cow!!!! Written By Audioernie, Salinas CA on Monday, May 27, 2013 Wow holy cow these speakers have to be the one of the best out there no lie, I owned a 5.1 B&W worth around $4000, went to the buddy's house hear he's new system that he's been braving about for weeks, and he put a quick demo for me (the avengers) and you can simply hear every single detail on the film, every explosion from the smallest one to hulks footsteps there was clean accurate and extremely deep, that it makes you think there was an actual earthquake, so with a 30min demo, I was convinced that I will do everything possible to sell my system and purchased the exact same system my buddy bought did with the free center and surrounds, just before the sale ended, so now Im always in my man cave hearing the women always banging the door and shouting to turn it down,haha but I can't here her Pros: You get 2 10inch subwoofers at 300 watt Cons: What cons?
8060 TOWERS Written By denny, akron, ohio on Friday, May 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these towers to replace an 8 year old Bose system. I also have Def. Tech center and 8040 rears. The improvement was great. Movie sounds are theater quality. The music was greatly improved. I didn't need to reconnect my old sub because these new subs sounded and blended in just fine. I recommend them. Pros: Great sounding. Look nice. Cons: Only slightly annoying. I received two left towers, so I had to thread a cable across the sub volume knob on the the one I placed on the right. Makes no difference in the sound that they were both right towers because they are bipolar..
Midrange punch missing Written By A Drum Guy, Prefer not to say, USA on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I went back & forth whether or not to buy these. I was lured by the free center speaker/free surround speaker deal they had going a few months back. After much deliberating, I bought these a couple of months ago along with the 8040 center & the 8040 surrounds. After a bit of a snafu with Crutchfield giving UPS the wrong phone number, I got the speakers home. My wife helped unbox them (which was a pain) Def Tech needs to put the white fabric sleeve on with the opening on the bottom, not the top. That way you could leave them mostly covered while attaching the feet. The feet went on easy for me with a ratcheting screwdriver with the speakers carefully placed on their sides with pillows for padding so nothing touched any of the speakers. Anyway, the speakers combined with the center & surrounds are really good for movies, but for listening to music on just the two 8060 towers, they leave a bit to be desired. The highs are really clear & there is tons of bass, but the bass drowns out the midrange and there is no punch. Snare drums are buried in the mix, even Stewart Copeland's snare on Zenyatta Mondatta, which has a fantastic, in-your-face snare sound, is somewhat muted with these towers. I've messed with the EQ settings a bit and still haven't been totally satisfied. I do agree with another reviewer that the subs blend seamlessly. Way better than my old JBL's combined with an Hsu Research sub. The trouble is, Def Tech spent too much time on bass & not enough on the full sound. Pros: Good for movies, lots of bass, look good Cons: Not so great for music, lots of bass (had to turn it down), needs more mid-range punch
The best Written By Mrbill, los angeles on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love my BP-8060ST Speakers Cons: none
Worth every penny! Written By Dave, Discovery Bay, CA on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After convincing my wife that we needed to upgrade from our 18 year old Klipsch speakers, I purchased these 8060 towers, the 8060 center and the 8040 surrounds. There wasn't much in the setup since the subs are built in. After talking to Definitive Tech to get the pros and cons of using the low pass sub cable, I decided to not use it. There were really no advantage to using it. The towers and center subs are integrated and require no cross over setting when using only the speaker wires. How simple is that? The built in subs sound great! The sound is seamless, more realistic and natural than separate subs. The center speaker has a punch to it that my old one never had. I was amazed to find out how much bass is directed to the center channel that just wasn't picked up by my old Klipsch center speaker. The 8040 surrounds are amazing as well. I wasn't too sure how the black speakers were going to look on the walls since our old speakers were small, white infinity minuettes. Actually it was my wife that was really concerned, but the 8040's look great, and the best part is, she agrees! They sound so much better than my old surrounds and they really have a classy, sexy look. My old speakers sounded really good, but these sound amazing!My only complaint was that the delivery. The speakers shipped separately and had three different delivery dates. That meant I, or someone had to be home each of those days to receive them. I got over that pretty quick once they arrived. Pros: Sound, Design, Quality, Sub integration, and my wife loves them too! Cons: None!!! (anyone that has a problem attaching the feet on these towers probably shouldn't own a screwdriver)
bp speakers Written By brad, burlington usa on Tuesday, February 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) they are by far the best i have heard , when defintive was new i had bought some bp 10s they rocked but where stolen when my house got broken into sad but I didnt have RENTERS INSURANCE so i lost out . but now im back again they are new aand im proved . Pros: they are sleek powerful and can fir in tight spot. Cons: i dont link the legs that go on them . wish they where wider like the old one . when some thing is going good why change it.
Best Christmas Present Ever!! Written By M. Cook, Amarillo, TX on Monday, January 28, 2013 These are the best speakers I've ever owned and I've owned some really good speakers over the years! My wife and sister got together and surprised me at Christmas with BP 8060ST's as mains, BP 8040 surrounds and a CS 8040HD Center! They all sound amazing, but this review is dedicated to the truly awesome BP 8060's! The sound quality is nothing short of incredible. The highs are tight and direct without even a hint of shrillness regardless of volume levels. The mids are warm and full, smoothly conveying the whole range of human voices, from Norah Jones to Jay-Z to Blake Shelton, they all sounded as if they were in my living room! But, not only are these speakers great with music, they handled movie sound tracks with abounding ease! The opening scene of The Dark Knight where Bane and his henchmen crash the jet rocked my whole house. The bass actually shifted the pictures on the back wall behind the BP-8060's! The rustling of the clothing in the wind and the crunch of metal against metal was extremely vivid and real! Yet, the 8060's never crackled or popped or showed any signs of strain at all. One of the niceness features of the 8060's aside from their awesome power handling is their ability to sound beautiful even at low volume levels. They can handle copious amounts of power, but they don't need it to some great. Late night listening to jazz at low levels showcased the remarkable range of these incredible speakers....again...Best Christmas Present Ever!! Pros: Sound quality, Power handling and build quality! Cons: The 1st pair of 8060's that arrived were defective and had a constant hiss/crackle in the mids. However, I called Crutchfield, reported the problem and a new set were on my doorstep in less than a week! The new set lived up to my every expectation! Crutchfield Rocks!!
Simply Awesome Written By Big Daddy, Toledo OH on Monday, January 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only have had these for a few days, but I can tell, it is exactly what I wanted ! The sound is GREAT!. Replacing 4 def tech pro monitors 1000 s, 1 pro center 1000, and a SUPER CUBE 3. The AQ is Great. Did I say that before. Clean, clear and crisp, almost like the 3 c's for a diamond, with powerful bass. I'm not using the subs as LFE though have an old school velodyne 12" sub for that. They blend well together. I was able to get the def tech package deal. A real no brainer. Now for my soap box. I have seen reviews, stating how difficult these spkrs are to assemble. REALLY. I m 50+ years old and no heeee man. Packaging is extremely good. Took almost as long to get these speakers out of the TWO boxes, as to assemble the feet and get them ready to hook up. Another very nice side note, the wife had no problems wih the size of the towers. It's amazing how they are able to get the sound they can. Very happy with this purchase. Would strongly reccomend these to anyone. Will eventually replace my last pair of pro monitor 1000's, with the 8080's. The crutchfield team are excellent, very fast and precise shipping. Keep up the great work. Pros: Very full sounding speakers. The gloss black end caps sure add a nice touch. Very flexible hook up options. Cons: NONE!!!!!
Love them! Written By Chris, Austin, TX on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are amazing! I was really impressed with the characteristics of the bipolar speakers in their ability to fill the whole room with even sound at any volume. I only have these front speakers and the center channel, with no separate rear surround speakers, but I still get plenty of surround sound. The size and appearance of these speakers would make them look good and fit well in just about any room. I experimented with just about every way to hook these up, including the separate subwoofer hookup since my receiver has two sub outs. After many hours of listening to music and movies, I decided that I got the best sound by just using the regular speaker connection and continuing to use a separate sub, not using the speakers' sub inputs. They still sound great without a separate sub. Despite some of the other reviews, I didn't have any trouble attaching the feet. I used a minimally-powerfully battery-powered screw driver and adjusted the torque accordingly. Using an impact driver would be overkill. Pros: sound great, plenty of surround sound with just two speakers, look great, easily perfect-able bass from the powered sub, flexible in the connection options Cons: I now spend way too much time listening to and relishing my amazing sound system
Amazing Home Theater Written By Anonymous, Lexington, KY on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought entire Definitve package and man is my home theater sounding amazing. The low tones you get from the internal sub really adds the sound quality. Pros: Great sound andeasy set up Cons: Speaker is so thin it is hard to get to balance on carpet.
Definitive Technology BP-8060ST Written By cspowers, cape cod on Thursday, February 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) fast shipping, great packaging love the sound, warm- nice soundstage.... you need to give these guys a test drive great for music and fantastic for movies when paired with one of Def Techs centers - 8040 or 8060 (if you want the added powered bass) don't understand all the complaints with the feet though, powered screwdriver and you are done in no time Pros: great full range sound Cons: none yet
Excellent Floors Written By Chad S, Raleigh, NC on Saturday, January 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These Def Tech's sound astonishing. I have never head anything as clear and smooth as these. The front array shoots out the clear, pin-point-able sound you would expect, then the rear array sends out an almost surround sound stage to the whole system. The crossover between the mids and subs is simply amazing, does a great job blending the frequencies. Pros: Sound Looks Size Cons: Feet are a bit annoying to mount. An impact driver and the correct size bit do help though.
BP8060 Experience Written By Eric G, Killeen, TX on Monday, December 12, 2011 The bi-polar technology compared to the Bose refecting speakers (901s) is like night and day. I am impressed with the sound, they have a full range of frequency for most types of music. I compared these to the CM9 (B&W) and for the money the Def Tech 8060 came out on top over sound range. Though the CM9 are great with Jazz & Big band music, the 8060s was better with a more range of music and movies alike. Definately a good buy. Pros: I have owned a lot of speakers in my day, and by far these speakers have been the best I've ever purchased. I love the overall sound and performance. The sound will amaze you. Cons: Well, why do I have to put the feet on the speaker. I mean that was a monumental task. Literaly these speakers are heavy, delicate because if you handle them wrong you could damage the woofers. There's no where to really handle these speakers, because of the fabric mesh surrounding the woofers is all there is to grab on.
BP8060 Written By CSound, Detriot, MI on Saturday, August 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Summary: Sound excellent. Process and physical installation atrocious. The Good: The speakers sound excellent. They definitely provide enough bass. I upsized the speakers for the larger subs but this was not needed as I ended up turning the bass way down. Unfortunately the speakers appear to be much better than the new reciever that I just bought. Shipping pain: The speakers were well packaged and not damaged during shipping. However, I had to sign for the shipment. The shipping company would not let them sit unattended. This is understandable as the speakers were expensive but also a pain as the non-Fedex shipping company had the same working hours as I did. Anger: To fit in the boxes the speaker's feet were not attached to the speakers. The feet are attached with 2 phillips head wood screws per foot; 4 feet per speaker. The screws were atrociously hard to fasten. I did not have a power screw driver, but doubt one would had the necessary torque. Being a strong fella, I struggled and sweated... for hours and still the screws are not tight. After researching and saving... opening that box and hearing the sound was a supposed to be an exciting process - it was far from it. I can not recommend these speakers unless they are put together by a professional. [A set of speakers of this quality should have an engineered foot base.]

Erin & Pete's Tiny Farm House
Many tiny housers fantasize about being completely self-sustainable or "living off the land" but never have the resources to reach that goal. Enter Erin and Pete, a tiny house couple with a drool-worthy 40 acre dream.
With backgrounds in wildlife biology and forestry, the duo spent several years traveling and living on the road. When they finally decided to settle down, they returned to their home state, Michigan, and began the search for their forever home. Erin remembers one open house in particular with an enormous basement. "If we live here, we're gonna fill this basement with stuff we don't need," she recalls saying to Pete. The couple had been considering a tiny house for years, but it was only in that moment that they decided to make their dream a reality.
In May 2012 Erin and Pete bought Tumbleweed Fencl plans (now known as Cypress) and began their build with little to no experience. Two years later, the build continues at Erin's mother's house, over an hour drive from their apartment.
"We make the trip almost every weekend to work on the house," says Erin, "But we have to be done by winter." With the exterior complete, the tiny house just received a heavy dose of wool insulation - a necessity for Michigan winters. Erin hopes to have their interior cedar panelling up in the next few weeks, as long as the weather is compliant.

But what the twosome is really excited for, is the next big move. Recently Erin and Pete purchased 40 acres in Chatham, Michigan. The plan is to move onto the property this summer with the almost complete tiny house, building as they go. The ultimate goal? A fully operational farm complete with: dairy cows, chickens, pigs, bees, a veggie garden, and sugar maple trees (which already occupy half the property)!
The couple also aspires to build a barn for the animals and a structural bath house. "We love to cook." Erin explained, "A separate bath house will free up space to accommodate a large kitchen." Plumbing in the tiny house will be minimal, the stove and heater will be propane, and electricity will run off solar power.
With their outdoorsy backgrounds and ambitious attitude, we bet Erin and Pete will have a cozy tiny house cloaked in a beautiful farm before long!
Look for updates on Erin and Pete's tiny house here.
Jenna Spesard is a writer by trade. She is currently building a Tumbleweed Cypress with her partner, Guillaume, who is a professional photographer and Tumbleweed Workshop Host. After the build is complete, they plan to travel around North America in their tiny house blogging and photographing their adventure. More on their tiny house and giant journey here.

Muslin Cloths
These cloths are simply cotton washcloths with a muslin fabric weave.
Creme Universelle
This is a very basic, fragrance-free body moisturizer that comes in a size that is typically seen for facial moisturizers.
Add to Faves?
Eve Lom At-A-Glance
Strengths: The sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection; the muslin cloths are nice if you don't mind spending extra for a washcloth.
Weaknesses: Expensive; jar packaging; limited range of products; several products contain potent irritants, such as camphor and eucalyptus; Lom overemphasizes cleansing and scrubbing skin; irritating lip balm; hand cream with sunscreen that stops at SPF 10.
Eve Lom is described as "one of the most respected and sought-after beauty professionals alive today," which is quite a feat, but a bit bewildering when you consider the quality of the product's that bear her name. A Czechoslovakia-born aesthetician who came to the United States in the 1980s, Lom studied with fellow aesthetician Georgette Klinger before jumping across the pond and taking her skills to London. PR pronouncements aside, in this case the quality of the products is seriously lacking, and most are utter disappointments, with formulas that are remarkable only in how amazingly ordinary and mundane they are.
Aside from the poor formulations, this line lacks AHA or BHA exfoliants (which have abundant research showing they are beneficial for most skin types), effective anti-acne products, and any products to address other concerns such as discolorations or wrinkles. Lom's less-is-more approach is intriguing, but less should not mean short-changing your skin on what is essential for healing, sun protection, various skin-care concerns, or well-researched ingredients. Limiting the number of products you use doesn't necessarily mean you are taking good (or even average) care of your skin.
Where this line falls seriously short are the moisturizers. Most of them are as basic as it gets, with combinations that date back to the 80s. (Think about using the same computer you used in the 80s and it'll give you an idea of how antiquated skin-care formularies won't give your skin what it needs, namely, what current research shows is essential for skin to function like young or healthy skin.) Aside from banal formulations, they also are laden with fragrance, and the few plant extracts these products do contain have minimal or no research showing their benefit; some are even seriously irritating. Any ingredient, natural or otherwise, that causes irritation can cause collagen to break down, increase oil production, and impair the skin's barrier—none of that is good and an aesthetician should know better, regardless of her pedigree.
Not a single Lom product has a formula that mixes antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, anti-irritants, and cell-communicating ingredients, which are central to the current understanding, based on published research, of what skin truly needs to look and feel its best. You can't even fault Lom for using mostly jar packaging because there are no ingredients in these products worth keeping stable. In the end, becoming a devotee to Eve Lom's products and skin-care philosophies is both a step backward and a step toward subjecting your skin to daily irritation and inflammation, both of which lead to helping skin look older, not younger.

Mark Buehrle is considering the Nationals, along with four other teams.
Updated at 12:58 p.m.
DALLAS — Though the Mark Buehrle sweepstakes is moving toward a resolution — he has narrowed his search down to three clubs, according to a source familiar with the talks — the veteran left-hander may not be able to make his final decision until other top free agents have made theirs.
If general manager Mike Rizzo had his way, the Nationals would lock up the 32-year-old hurler right now.
But some of Buehrle's other pursuers are currently negotiating with other players and may not know if they're still interested in signing the pitcher until they've settled those other negotiations.
The Marlins, for example, have expressed strong interest in Buehrle. But if they win the Albert Pujols lottery, they're not going to haveRead more »

Just read that Yanks are interested in trading Burnett and will eat portion of his contractBurnett is a player with a change of scenery would do him very well.
- Anonymous - Dec 7, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Are the Nats really hoping to be the lucky club that lands Buehrle for 4 years and maybe $65+M with no-trade proptection? Wow.dfh21
- Curt Flood - Dec 7, 2011 at 5:29 PM
There's a significant story developing relating to the Marlins and Loria which probably doesn't affect their pursuit of Pujols or Buehrle, but may have serious ramifications within the next year. The SEC's widespread investigation of the entire stadium financing procedure. Am curious if there are any people familiar with details, perhaps viewing this in FL, who could share their perspective?
- Just sayin' - Dec 7, 2011 at 5:30 PM
I'm sure Burnett could use a change of scenery. I just hope it involves moving somewhere other than Washington.
- Just sayin' - Dec 7, 2011 at 5:39 PM
Regarding Curt's query: I don't have any details beyond the press reports, but I would certainly not want to be a player heading into a situation where management was under any such legal — and potentially financial — pressure. One need only ask Reyes, Wright, and the other Mets what it was like playing for the Wilpons the past couple of years. Uncertainly is never a good thing, particularly when your multi-million dollar paycheck could be in doubt. And I've got to believe the agents for Pujols and Buehrle are smart enough to point that out to their clients.
- Curt Flood - Dec 7, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Thanks Just Sayin' regarding the ramifications of SEC investigation into Marlins' stadium financing. For others, here's a background link in NY Times.http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/03/54935/?ref=baseball
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:00 PM
Curt Flood…. one of the issues that's cropped up is the agreement over the use of the parking garages. The Marlins rent the 5,600 spaces from the City of Miami at $10.00 per spot for every event that they hold and as stadium operators, and that includes concerts. The plan was that as a City owned facility, they meaning the City of Miami would be exempt from Dade County Property taxes. But Dade County has ruled that since the garages are rented out to a second party for profit, the City would be responsible for a $2 to $3 million dollar annual tax bill.The City then went back to the Marlins and asked for help in paying those taxes and you can pretty much guess where Loria told them to stick it. And all this is besides the SEC investigation on the overall financing plan put together by the Marlins and sold to the City and Dade Count.This is going to get pretty ugly as the overall news comes out.
- Oldguy - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:11 PM
I have a memory of Burnett standing on the mound in Fenway watching yet another Sox homer pass over the green monster, shaking his head and saying "Why? Why? Why?"
- MicheleS - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:12 PM
I saw something interesting on MLB Network. Ozzie commented that "Latinos in south FL don't have the money to go to games". I wonder if that is true. I know they will be losing the Ft Lauderdale/West Palm fan base. They will not travel to weekday games in Miami – not that they did that when it was in Dolphins stadium. They may be able to pull in some people the first few years, but unless the economy improves drastically in FL they will be selling off all the players regardless of record.
- MicheleS - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:14 PM
NatsJack.. just another reason Luria will someday end up in Jail.. what comes around goes around.
- Curt Flood - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:22 PM
Thanks NatsJack in Florida. As the overall Miami stadium financing details come tumbling out it will be a fascinating window into the inner finances of a baseball team. I'm sure Marvin Miller will be monitoring this. And from other reports I've read there's a fair chance that payoffs and other wickedness will be uncovered that occurred during the approval process. Knowing Loria's reputation going back to the days in Montreal, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up impacting him down the road. Does anyone else feel there could be ramifications down the road?
- Will - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:22 PM
Nats picked the wrong guy to make their #1 target.Everyone and their mother wants to sign Buehrle, while other better players (Reyes and Pujols) have only had two suitors.This offseason is all about pitching and not at all about offense. It makes little sense, because it's probably the worst offseason ever for pitching (when CJ Wilson is the best available, you know there's a problem), and chock full of offensive weapons (Pujols, Fielder, Reyes, to name a few).If Buehrle demands 4 years, as he rightfully should given the demand, the Nats should walk away.
- gonatsgo - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:25 PM
The Marlins organization is committing huge sums of money on long term deals. They are doing this by making a huge assumption that they will automatically have a large fan-base when they move into the new stadium and have marquee players on board. Can they sustain those long term deals?The other assumption is that they will automatically be a contending team.The mix of Ozzie, Pujols, Reyes, Ramirez, Bell, Lomo, etc. says that it may take some time for them to gel as a team – if they ever do. Great on paper, but, wow, they are making changes at the speed of light down there.
- Water23 - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:25 PM
As an alternative to Buerhle, how about Gio? He is a young lefty and under contract for a few more years. What would it take?Lannan or Detweiler, Desmond, Bernadina (help in the A's depleted OF) from the ML roster and Norris/Moore and Peacock (maybe one more prospect)?Just a thought but a young dominant Lefty would be pretty nice
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:25 PM
Michelle S…. Norman Branham, former owner of the Eagles, went after the stadium financing plan leagally when it first came up several years ago but lost his case. He was, however, able to launch a recall campaign against the standing Dade County Mayor that threw that bum out.Needless to say, they have developed a serious rift in their fan base.
- Anonymous - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:41 PM
@Water 23 Gio had 91 walks last year and top's out at a 95 mph fastball…I know hes 25 and cheap, but is he really that awesome? Ya I would give up Lannan & Bernadina for him though! ha.
- Water23 - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:49 PM

Gio Gonzalez is a stud. It would take a huge package to get that guy. Similar to what Ubaldo drew maybe more, I would think.dfh21
- blovy8 - Dec 7, 2011 at 6:58 PM
This stuff was out the Marlins signed anyone though. The money is talking right now. I guess the Nats will have to wait until some dominoes fall to get their answer on Buehrle. I still think he's a good signing at the 13m a year rumors I've heard. If Wilson is only getting offers of 15 mil a year, that sounds right.GG is a fastball/curve pitcher who walks way too many guys, right?. Man, that sounds too much like AJ Burnett once you get him out of that canyon in Oakland. Plus, he's still really cheap, they are going to ask way too much for him.
- Water23 - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:09 PM
So, let's say the Nats whiff on Buerhle. Either Marlins do not get AP and go big on Buerhle or do get AP and Cards grab hometown boy Buerhle. What is next for the Nats? CJ seems a little too much and Angels and Rangers seems very interested. Yu may sit on the sidelines. Gio seems like a decent option but the cost to acquire is going to be too steep. I think that leaves the Nats with switching gears and going after a great hitter.Do they go after Prince? Who else. Sitting in the bench and not getting anything may be a real issue. A decent scenario if they do nothing, Morse slides into 1B in June/July; Harper to OF; LaRoche to playoff team for A ball player; and the Nats SPs get sometime to show what they can do. Interesting.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:10 PM
The Phillies were kicking the tires on Gio Gonzalez, but apparently they're out now. Rosenthal says the Nats are among the remaining bidders. The A's want prospects, not MLB guys, but they want really good ones, according to MLB Trade Rumors.
- jd - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:17 PM
Water23, Fielder is exactly where I would go. Heck I would skip Buehrle and go right to Fielder now.
- Anonymous - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:27 PM
Fielder is the only positional player I think they should consider … but locking him up for more than five years? They need another left-handed hitter the advanced offensive stats aren't tea leaves but they do indicate that's a very high priority need for this offense. La Roche + Espinosa (not his natural side) + Harper + maybe Lombardozzi (not his natural side either)? No that does not equal impact hitting from that side, in Harper's case at least not yet. Tyler Moore is right handed. Derek Norris is right handed. Roger Bernadina, Brian Goodwin and Corey Brown are really about all there is right now that give them something … and there might be Ankiel. Again that means they are seriously sagging on the left side … not something Davey Johnson likes I'm sure.Fielder is an entire left side all by himself. Its why he has to be attractive to the Nats. But he isn't flexible he plays one position and not well … he could end up as a DH by age 30.
- Tegwar - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:34 PM
Bowden on ESPN says the Philles offered Domonic Brown as part of a package for Gio.Bowden probably made it up.
- Anonymous - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:35 PM
Long before his next contract is up, Fielder is turn into Dmitri Young — a fun fat guy to have around the clubhouse, but not much of a ballplayer. The Nats should spend zero time thinking about him…definite DH material.

They're not going to be able to sign Fielder any easier than Buehrle. Once Pujols signs, things open up for him, and Boras will get him more than anyone thinks, as usual.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:43 PM

Rizzo is drawing a big blank at the winter GM meetings. Let's be honest, the Nationals are not going to be able to sign any big name free agents unless they pay double what the player is worth. This is what they did with Jason Werth last year and look how that came out.
- JamesFan - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:53 PM
Buehrle would be crazy to sign before the Pujols contract is decided. Whoever loses has lots of money to put on the table and will bid for him. The same may be true for Wilson and Fielder as factors in the Buehrle decision. I really have my doubts about Buehrle coming to Washington.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:56 PM
I wonder what the Cubs would take for Tyler Colvin–young, lefty bat with some pop, mostly a corner OF as I recall. Might make a nice bat off the bench.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:57 PM
This is what they did with Jason Werth last year and look how that came out. To be fair, that hasn't "come out" yet.

- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:59 PM
Rizzo, not Mark. Mark sounded fine.
- NatStat - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:59 PM
Nats should get on the track for Darvish. Sounds like there is going to be a limited pool of suitors. More bucks of course, but eight years younger than Buerhle, with better stuff.
- blovy8 - Dec 7, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Yep. There's still hope to bid enough for Cespedes too, without giving up any players.
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 7, 2011 at 8:05 PM
I'd be willing to bet Boros makes one last call to Rizzo and the Lerners before Fielder signs with someone. Not that they'd bite but you never know.

On Fielder.. Not speculating that he is coming here, but commenting on that he will be a big fat guy at 30.Has anyone else seen where he doesn't have a warm fuzzy father/son relationship with Cecil. In fact, I think he detests Cecil. Something to do with being a dead beat dad. He also doesn't want to be anything like his dad and wants to be a better player. I think that's why he became a vegetarian. So he doesn't become the big fat guy.I like the guy, I think he brings a lot to a team. I think he can be good probably until he hits 35. It doesn't mean that I think the Nats should or would go after him.

I think that's why he became a vegetarian. So he doesn't become the big fat guy.But he IS a big fat guy. And he can disown all he wants about his father, but he can't disown the genes.
- Theophilus - Dec 7, 2011 at 8:15 PM
I would be flummoxed by the pitching market if I were Rizzo. Buehrle wants 4+ years? Wilson can't get more than 4 years? At $15MM per? Buerle likely will get his 4+ as the consolation prize for Pujols and set the market for Wilson. In a year where the FA pitching pool is shallow, Buerhle will make it expensive for everyone else. (Which is probably good because Rizzo won't be tempted to buy an already over-priced E. Jackson or other recycled flop.) Much better to stand pat, as D. Johnson said yesterday (or the day before). I would take Gio Gonzalez if the price wasn't too high. Despite good numbers the last two years, he's sort of an enigma. Doesn't seem he was ever really highly regarded. So has he overachieved? Is it the ball park, that favors pitchers w/ the huge foul territory? Nothing to get too excited about.
- MicheleS - Dec 7, 2011 at 8:15 PM
Feel Wood.I know the genes, but he can fight it and be a good to great MLB player until he is 35.

I'm not a fan of waiting on everyone else to decide what they want to do before moving on. In the military we always think about "seizing the initiative". If Buehrle is basically telling us he's only interested in being a Nat if he doesn't get a better offer from the Marlins, why don't we go for Oswalt for a shorter term right now when no one else is paying him much attention. With the young arms in the system, Oswalt would look pretty sweet for a couple of years and wouldn't end up as an albatross for as long if he does start to break down. He is also more of an "Ace" than Buehrle and therefore might be better suited to teach Stras and JZimm and some of the others how to handle that role.
- Water23 - Dec 7, 2011 at 8:59 PM
@ MicheleS,As was stated in a few reports/panel discussions, Prince has always be a large body guy. He has not ballooned up like others (D. Young). And he plays a lot of games every year. His choice to become a vegetarian may have been part of not being in his fathers shadow but also b/c his wife is one and he thought it would be healthier. Also, even if he is his dad, I believe his father's stats were very good up until 33. He is not the best solution for the Nats. No, that would be for LaRoche to regress to his norm (and then be traded); Morse to continue his progression and move to 1B when LaRoche is moved; Werth to regress to his norm; Harper to continue to develop and arrive in June/July right when LaRoche is moved and finally finding a CF (Span, Bourjos, Goodwin, Perez, Cepedes etc).
- Water23 - Dec 7, 2011 at 9:01 PM
@ lesatcsc,Another good thought! We have a lot of young arms and why not solve the veteran SP and move on.

From what I am hearing from folks at the meetings (not Nats beat people), now that Puljols if off the radar for the Marlins, they will attempt to sign both Wilson and Buehrle together, not a one or the other deal as Nats media would have you believe. Second most likely secanrio is Wilson stays close to home and Buehrle goes to the Marlins NOT the Nats. IF either happens Nats are left out in the cold AGAIN at the winter meetings!

I DID NOT want to buy another Chi. Although when they worked I did love them, I could not bring myself to spend another $100 + on a product that I KNEW would break in a very short amount of time.
So, I found this site. And thank goodness I did! I spent a lot of time reading all the reviews and going through the Top 10 list. I finally decided on the Solia Diamond straightener. I was so excited that it was less expensive, I was also offered free shipping and a discount. Spending less than $65, I purchased this and the shower cap (I wrote a review on that as well). My Solia was delivered on the 3rd day of purchase. I used it that night and let me tell you, this is the best purchase I have ever made! I have thick, naturally curly hair and use a lot of products to make it straight. This straightener is amazing! Temperature controlled so I can adjust my setting..which I love! My hair is amazingly straight and soft, Its shiny and feels nice and thin, and it does last for a few days!
Finally! Something that works on my hair! and I didn't have to spend all this money!
If you are reading and searching for the perfect straightener, there is no other option. Solia Diamond is by far the best straightener. This one also comes with a 2 year warranty so I know that if something happens, I will be able to get it replaced! So, if you have any hesitations, trust me when I say I will never purchase another Chi again. I will continue to come to Folica.com and l forever be a Solia girl!
