- Poor ventilation
The Tempaia IIs are the epitome of modern style, and with the performance they offer we're not surprised our playtesting team liked them. A stiff synthetic upper caused a small break-in period, but this wasn't a hindrance. Once it softened, the shoe provided stability and support throughout the playtest. The synthetic upper, though, provided little in the ventilation department, and our playtesters felt breathability was lacking. The cushioning was applauded, though, and when combined with the good traction allowed the testers to move aggressively and confidently. Sole durability received mixed feedback, although with the lightweight feel of the Tempaia II taken into account, the durability was more than adequate. In both bold and more conservative color options, this shoe is great for the confident player looking to fly around the court with quick footwork.
Comfort - Score: 3.8
Despite a small break-in period, the shoe's cushioning provided plenty of comfort. Siobhan liked that the comfort didn't detract from the stability. She said, "There was a little out-of-the-box stiffness in the forefoot, but it softened quickly and the comfort in these shoes was more than adequate. The Tempaia IIs maintained a fast, athletic feel, and I was able to move very aggressively in them without sacrificing any of that comfort. I didn't get any blisters, and the shoes continued to be comfortable throughout the entire playtest. I did have to lace them quite tightly to get them to fit my narrow feet, but that didn't reduce the comfort."
Tiffani found the shoes fit the shape of her feet comfortably, saying, "This updated version of the Tempaia has a much wider fit than the original, which makes it a much better fit for me. My wide feet didn't feel constricted at all in the forefoot. I'm also a fan of the cushioning. It's not pillowy soft, but rather it's supportive and keeps me low to the ground. There was a brief break-in period, but nothing to worry about. This shoe was comfortable with minimal effort."
When Karly first tried on the shoes she was a little worried about the break-in period, saying, "These shoes seemed to be very stiff, and I thought they would take a while to break-in, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that period was very minimal. I thought they felt broken-in after about the first hour of playing in them. After the slight break-in period the comfort was pretty average for me. "
Brittany echoed the sentiments of the other playtesters. She said, "I found these shoes to be fairly comfortable. During the first hit I felt the upper to be on the stiffer side, but after a small break-in period of two to three hours the shoes loosened up and were match ready. I would describe the cushioning as firmer and more supportive versus a pillowy soft feel. Additionally, I found extra room in the forefoot for my narrow feet, and I wasn't able to get the perfect fit."
Ventilation - Score: 2.5
The playtesters unanimously agreed that the ventilation could use some improvements, as the plastic upper trapped the heat within the shoe during play. Tiffani summed it up in one sentence, stating, "Ventilation is not a highlight of the Tempaia II. There are few breathability features in this shoe, and it really can heat up. It's not so bothersome that it would deter me from wearing the Tempaia II, but this shoe is not comfortable to wear after playing."
Karly agreed, finding the lack of ventilation prevented sweat from being wicked away. She said, "I thought the Tempaia IIs were extremely warm shoes. Their poor ventilation left my feet feeling overheated and my socks very damp. Whether I was on the court playing or walking around off the court, my feet felt very heated wearing them. The breathability was something that definitely could've improved."
Also struggling with the lack of ventilation was Brittany. She said, "This was my least favorite aspect of the shoe. There was absolutely no ventilation, and my feet would get very hot and sweaty after just a few minutes on court. There were a couple perforations on either side of the shoe, but they did not go all the way through to the inside of the shoe and looked to be more cosmetic than functional."
"Like the other playtesters, the ventilation was disappointing for me," said Siobhan. "The only place with mesh is the tongue, and that's so padded that it doesn't increase breathability. I think adidas just didn't focus on incorporating ventilation into the design of the shoe. There is just nowhere for the sweat to go, particularly when you're playing outside in the heat. It wasn't unbearable, and in fact, I liked these shoes a lot, I just think this was not as high quality as the rest of the shoe."
Arch Support - Score: 4.0
The arch support of the Tempaia IIs provided enough support and comfort to satisfy all of our playtesters. Brittany's arches were very happy in the Tempaia IIs. She said, "They had a nice amount of support and I didn't have any break-in issues or placement problems. No complaints from my slightly lower than medium arches!"
Karly echoed Brittany's positive comments, saying, "I thought the arch support was good. They didn't hit me at an awkward place and I didn't experience any pain, so I didn't have any issues with the arches."
Finding the arch support to be more than adequate was Siobhan. She said, "I have nothing to complain about in this area. It fit the shape of my foot well and didn't bother me during play."
"The arch feels fine to me," said Tiffani. "I can feel it, but it hits my foot correctly and offers the right amount of support."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 3.8
While the wider style had our testers experiencing a little bit of sliding within the Tempaia IIs, the great stability and support had them moving aggressively. Singing the shoes' praises was Siobhan, who said, "I thought the stability was great, and probably one of the top reasons I felt comfortable moving all over the court. I really liked this as a high performance shoe in this aspect. One thing I noticed was that the slightly wider fit of the shoe had me lacing them a bit tighter than I would normally with other shoes. It's not a hindrance, it's just something that I had to make sure I did before I hit, otherwise I just felt a little unsure of myself because I would slip a little inside the shoes."
Tiffani felt pretty confident with her footwork when wearing these shoes. She offered, "I like that it has a wider base in the forefoot than some other speed-oriented shoes to give me a better platform of support and stability. The only issue I have is that it runs slightly too wide for me in the heel. I can feel the back half of my foot slide around. It's a weird sensation, and it took me a while to get used to the feel when I was stopping."
Brittany echoed the positive feedback on support and stability. She added, "I felt very confident playing in these shoes. I thought the stability was great, and the low-to-the-ground feel worked with the supportive ankle collar to give me extra protection against ankle rolls. As I mentioned previously, I had a small issue with the wide toe box, which allowed my feet to move side to side in the forefoot when I was moving aggressively. It was a lot less noticeable when I wore an extra pair of socks, but then the lack of ventilation came into play."
Karly liked the stability, stating, "The support and stability was good. I never felt like I was going to twist my ankle and I was able to make quick starts and stops without hesitation. I did experience a little bit of sliding within the shoe because the forefoot is longer and wider than most shoes, but even with that slight movement within the shoe I was confident that my ankles weren't going to roll."
Sole Durability - Score: 3.5
Sole durability had some mixed feedback. Karly liked the durability but wished for a little more weight to the sole, saying, "The sole durability was OK. I never wore through the sole, and for their weight I thought they did an average job of staying intact. However, I started to notice a little bit of wear after about five hours of play, and it was a little discouraging to see that wear starting somewhat quickly."
Brittany was pleasantly surprised with the durability of such a lightweight shoe. She said, "I wore these shoes a fair amount and put many hours on them. I thought these held up to the best of the other lightweight shoes I've tried. However, when comparing them to all the shoes I've tested I would rate these slightly below average. I had smoothing underneath my big toe and down the side. I also noticed the adiPRENE+ cushioning was balding on the medial side of my right shoe, and I had taken off a small layer of it."
On the flip side was Tiffani, who offered, "The tread pattern started to smooth after just a few hours. This is a shoe built for quick, agile movement around the court rather than being built to be a tank. I am going to go through these shoes pretty quickly."
Siobhan agreed with Brittany, "The shoe held up pretty well for the amount of hours I wore it. I played a lot with this shoe and I was pleased with the results. There was some wearing down of the tread, but with the weight of the shoe this didn't come as a surprise. I thought that the sole quality was totally acceptable in the durability department despite the balding on the medial side of the forefoot."
Toe Durability - Score: 3.8
Our two toe draggers felt that the shoe did a good job of protecting the upper of the shoe from any rough treatment. Finding the quality of the upper to be reasonably resistant to her toe dragging was Tiffani. She said, "The toe is holding up much better than the outsole for me. The bumper is plenty high, and I've done little damage despite my toe-dragging habit."
Brittany had nothing but compliments for the toe durability of this shoe. She said, "The toe bumper was thick and provided plenty of protection. An additional bonus was that the toe bumper met with the adiTUFF material, adding even more protection on the top of the shoe."
Traction - Score: 3.8
Most of the playtesters found the traction to be effective and efficient, and really liked this quality of the Tempaia II over the entire playtest. Karly was a little bit on the fence after she'd worn the shoes for a while, although she thought the Tempaia IIs had decent traction. She said, "I didn't have any issues stopping and starting, and I never slipped when changing direction. I noticed a little bit of difference in the tackiness as the sole worn down; my pivoting wasn't as distinct, but there was still enough traction to keep me from slipping."
Brittany followed with a glowing response, saying, "I put the traction of this shoe to the test right away. My first hit with them was an intense practice with lots of quick movements and changes of direction. I felt very centered and balanced when I was pushing off the outside shoe and was able to really grip the ground. This continued throughout the playtest and was one of the main reasons I enjoyed playing singles matches in this shoe. "
Not quite sold on the traction was Tiffani, who said, "The new outsole pattern seems to accommodate those who like to slide in and out of their shots -- even on hard courts. I am not of this generation! I like to stop and hit, then take off again. I noticed the shoe allowing a little bit of slide, but it was very controlled at the same time. I never felt unsafe, but I prefer to come to a full stop when I'm hitting my groundstrokes."
Siobhan had high praise for the Tempaia II's traction. She said, "The traction was surprisingly good, and I only say surprisingly because I was a little distracted by the sparkles on the sole and may have judged the shoe by its cover. It holds its own on court and really performs. I didn't slip at all, and it was incredibly efficient to change direction, which is where I sometimes lose confidence in shoes. "
Weight - Score: 4.5
Positive responses for weight were repeated by all the players, who liked the way their footwork benefited from the light weight. Brittany had absolutely no complaints with the weight, saying, "This was a nice lightweight shoe that was perfect for intense practices and match play. I felt quick on the court and thought there was a good balance of support and weight. I tend to lean toward a lighter tennis shoe, and I would say this shoe hit the mark. This is definitely not the lightest shoe out there, but the weight felt in proportion to the rest of the shoe."
Commenting on the structural make-up of the shoe was Siobhan. She said, "Considering how little mesh this shoe has it is actually really light. I felt swift around the court and didn't think about having to pick my feet up when I moved. I feel like the Tempaia IIs did a good job of mixing comfort with weight, without sacrificing anything for either. "
Tiffani was zipping around the court in the Tempaia IIs. She said, "The lightweight feel is definitely a highlight of the Tempaia IIs. It allows for quick, easy movement on the court while maintaining a good level of comfort."
Karly had nothing but great things to say about the lightweight feel. "The weight was my favorite thing about these shoes! I was able to react quickly and move fast on the court without feeling like I was being weighed down at all. I loved how light they felt on my feet."
Overall - Score: 3.8
Siobhan - "The color, the weight, and the way I was able to move confidently all over the court."
Tiffani - "The all pink cosmetic is great, plus I like the weight and prefer the wider forefoot fit over the original."
Brittany - "I liked the lightweight feel paired with solid support and traction."
Karly - "The weight and the cosmetics. I loved showing off these lightweight shoes so I wore them off the court often."
Siobhan - "The ventilation and how the width made me have to lace it tighter to keep my foot in securely."
Tiffani - "They ran a little long and the ventilation was subpar."
Brittany - "My biggest complaint would be the ventilation. Also, the fit in the forefoot was a bit too wide for my narrow foot."
Karly - "I didn't care for how warm they felt on and off the court. I thought the ventilation needed the most improvement."
Compared to others:
Siobhan - "I would put this shoe in the category of Asics' Gel Resolution 4 and Nike's Zoom Courtlite 3 for the stability, traction and feel on court, but the wider fit sets them apart."
Tiffani - "From the adidas line, the CC Divine and CC Ivy would be the predecessors of this shoe in terms of being a lightweight speed shoe. This one, however, fits wider and is much less ventilated. The upside, though, is I find these to be much better in terms of support."
Brittany - "I would say this shoe is a mix of the Lunar Speed 3 for break-in and similar comfort, the adidas Barricade 7 for weight and stability, and the original adidas adizero Feather for feel and traction."
Karly - "They reminded me of the Nike Courtlite 3s -- they were light, low to ground, and had about the same traction and sole durability."
Playtester Foot Types:
Siobhan - Medium width, Medium arch
Tiffani - Wide width, Low arch
Brittany - Narrow width, Medium arch
Karly - Medium width, Medium-low arch

Carriage House Restaurant
Editor's Review
Upscale waterfront dining doesn't get much nicer than the Carriage House Restaurant at the Hotel Iroquois. The hotel's stunning location provides diners with beautiful garden-framed views of the freighters and sailboats passing through the Straits of Mackinac.
Not surprisingly, the menu highlights seafood and steak. To start, the smoked whitefish cakes ($12.50) offer a classic taste of the Great Lakes, and the warm goat cheese salad ($10.50) is tasty and filling enough to stand in for a complete meal. Giant sea scallops ($36) are fresh and tender; ditto the massive shrimp that complements the mascarpone and sundried tomato ravioli topped with roasted garlic cream sauce ($33).
The Carriage House makes an elegant first impression with a winding, garden-lined path to the entrance and breathtaking harbor views through a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass. White tablecloths, fine china, sky-blue walls and live piano music all make it easy to see why this is perhaps the most romantic restaurant on Mackinac Island. The Carriage House is open seasonally May through October.

This recipe was inspired by the abundance of tomatoes and basil in my garden. These grape tomatoes are so sweet and addicting. Toss them with some low carb pasta and diced chicken and you have a delicious, healthy meal in less than 20 minutes. Perfect for a busy weeknight!
Spaghetti with Sauteed Chicken and Grape Tomatoes
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Calories: 329.7 • Fat: 6.8 g • Carb: 48.3 g • Fiber: 7.2 g • Protein: 25.0 g
- 2 skinless chicken breast halves, diced in 1 inch cubes
- cooking spray
- 1/2 tsp each of dried oregano and dries basil
- kosher salt and fresh pepper
- 8 oz spaghetti (high fiber or low carb) I used Ronzoni Smart Taste
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 6 cloves garlic, smashed and coarsely chopped
- 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Season chicken generously with salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Heat a large skillet on high heat. When hot, spray with oil and add chicken. Cook about 3-4 minutes, until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, add olive oil to skillet on high heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden brown (do not burn). Add tomatoes, salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium-low. Sauté about 4-5 minutes. When pasta is drained, add pasta to tomatoes and toss well. If pasta seems too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water. Add fresh basil and chicken and toss well. Serve and top with good grated cheese.

ADVANCED ENERGY BLOG -- DAVE KARPINSKI Shale gas supply chain: the big picture, part 2By DAVE KARPINSKI 4:30 am, January 11, 2013
In my Dec. 4th blog post, I looked at the shale gas supply chain opportunity from the angle of those supplies and services where logistics dictate that they be locally obtained. Now, I'd like to examine the more complicated, but high potential, aspects of the supply chain for shale gas in Northeast Ohio, and the process it takes to begin the journey.

Thank you, Paige, you are a champ! The "Blind" in BlindDog refers to not being distracted by the obvious, as in a "blind dog sniffing for a bone."

Yu Darvish will know which MLB club won the bidding on him soon.
Updated at 8:12 p.m.
The posting period for Yu Darvish expired at 5 p.m. EST, leaving any major-league clubs that bid on the Japanese sensation with nothing to do but wait to find out who won.
MLB teams had four days to submit blind bids to Darvish's Japanese club, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, unaware what other teams were bidding or how much they were bidding.
The Fighters technically have four days to select a winning bid, but sources familiar with the process said a decision is expected to be announced tonight or early tomorrow.
According to various reports and industry sources, only two clubs are known to have submitted bids so far: the Yankees and Cubs. A host of clubs made it known they did not submit bids: the Red Sox, Reds, Tigers, Dodgers, Orioles, Twins, White Sox, Phillies, Pirates, Rockies, Rays and Angels.
The Rangers, who have been mentioned as a likely frontrunner throughout the process, are believed to have not submittedRead more »
- Get Some Players - Dec 14, 2011 at 10:16 PM
So did the Nats make a bid?
- Tell me you were kidding - Dec 14, 2011 at 10:18 PM
The Nationals have not revealed whether they submitted a bid or not
- While we're waiting - Dec 14, 2011 at 10:48 PM
"The Astros designated Brian Bixler for assignment, according to Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle (on Twitter). The Astros, who needed roster space because of today's trade, had claimed Bixler from the Nationals last month. The 29-year-old appeared in 79 games for the Nationals in 2011, playing all three outfield positions, shortstop, third base and first base. He posted a .205/.267/.265 line in 94 plate appearances."
- John C. - Dec 14, 2011 at 11:31 PM
We may be waiting a while; when the Yankees won the right to negotiate with Nakajima last week, the Yankees weren't identified for a couple of days after the bids were due. I think word will get around quicker this time though … Darvish has a somewhat higher profile.
- Anonymous - Dec 14, 2011 at 11:32 PM
No way the Lerners ever bid enough
- Mark'd - Dec 14, 2011 at 11:32 PM
Get Bixler back!
- Anonymous - Dec 14, 2011 at 11:41 PM
Let's think about this for a sec. If Nats posted 50mil bid(which btw has to be paid to Jap team in one lump sum payment), then I think the money will be better spent giving Oswalt a 2 year deal with mutual 3rd year (buyout) option. Even then we'll have money left over to get the best bench money can buy. I'd go for Aoki instead, who will cost much less and is probably the best CF Nats can get at this point.
- JayB - Dec 14, 2011 at 11:47 PM
Not a chance they have a winning bid….we have seen this time and time again….Nats are not players in these type of open market competitions….Draft picks where the market is closed ok…this…not a chance….they will be $20 million at least off the winning bid….and then Rizzo will say he was surprised that the market was higher but he is fine and will move on to plan D.

Maya would be a good reason not to go crazy for Cespedes either.
- Grandstander - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:25 AM
Can someone answer this question for me, as I'm not really familiar with the posting system?So, if you negotiate with the player, but a contract isn't reached, the MLB team gets the posting fee back. Then what stops a team who's really not in the market for the player from just submitting a ridiculously high bid with no intention of actually signing the player. But in doing so, also blocking that player from signing with a rival team?
- blovy8 - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:26 AM
I agree that Aoki is probably a better risk all around and actually fulfills a greater need. This would be pretty bold, but he's got some leverage and probably would be tough to sign. I wonder why he bothered since he hates the posting system, and the only west coast club that might bid is Seattle. Oswalt should be the plan, it'll be a much smaller commitment, and there IS depth in the rotation for the risk his back presents. Even limited to 143 innings and hurting, he was pretty good.
- NatsLady - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:26 AM
We could do worse than getting Bixler back…
- baseballswami - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:30 AM
Bixler is by far not the worst we could do. I seem to remember quite a few stinkers…..ok, NI bloggers – who is the worst player the nats have ever signed?
- FS - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:34 AM
Awesome question Grandstander.
- Anonymous - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:37 AM
There really is nothing to stop a team from bidding $100mil and then offer 10yr/$1 contract. So the whole posting system is broken. Still if the Nats can get Aoki for $20mil/4yrs (including post bid), I think it would be a worthwhile risk. Aoki will definitely provide good speed/defense and at least .350 OBP. What else can you ask for from leadoff/CF?
- blovy8 - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:43 AM
Grandstander, I would guess it's mostly ethics and a kind of collegiality amongst the clubs, and that it would be seen as gaming the system. Even that much higher bid by the Red Sox ended up in a contract for Dice-K. I think the few teams who bid less would be pissed, as opposed to just one rival team in the other example, who realizes the stakes during the season.
- blovy8 - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:45 AM
The other example being claiming a waived player you don't need so a rival for your pennant chances doesn't get him.
- Wily Mo Petersen - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:46 AM
The Lerners are billionaires and getting richer every day, why not sign him? Darvish may never end being a superstar but he wont be a bust at 6'5", 225 and a 98 mph fastball, at worst he will be average, at best a Cy Young. If the Nats are serious about contending risking $100 to $130 million on a 25 year old starting pitcher is well worth it.Sign Aoki or Cepedes too and they should definitely try to sign Soler. If we are going to way over the cap might as well blow it out of the water.
- blovy8 - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:48 AM
Yeah, I'd go that amount for Aoki. I'm guessing he's a better hitting version of Fukodome with more speed and better defense.
- Unkyd - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:48 AM
GS: because it would be a cheap, sleazy, disrespectful thing to do. Wanna insure that nobody ever takes your phone calls? Pull some third grade nonsense like that….

Unkyd, that is still a valid question.
- BinM - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:02 AM
Grandstander: IIRC, Oakland did that a couple of years back – winning the blind bid on a NPL player, then made minimal effort to sign him. He was returned to his club, and the bid returned to the A's. The NPL (and the rights-holding club) now has the right to review the next-highest bid if they feel that there is little chance of the player signing with the highest bidding team.
- Golfersal - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:07 AM
Boy wouldn't want to be a Rizzo or any other GM. Such a hard job of predicting if a guy is going to do great and then shovel a boat load of money to the players team and then the player.After what happened in Boston with Daisuke Matsuzaka it seems like Russian Roulette to try and sign Darvish. Yes everyone is saying he is the best, can't miss. Gosh if Rizzo didn't want to go the extra year and 15 million for Buehrle, how in the hell is he going to commit a minimal of 100 million for Darvish?Didn't Yunesky Maya cost in the neighborhood of 15 to 25 million and that is a bust? Even Aroldis Chapman, who Rizzo lost out to Cincinnati has cost the Reds about 35 to 40 million and he may not pan out.Gosh guys like Brad Peacock, Tom Milone and even Chien-Ming Wang are looking more and more like bargins.Gosh if your going to give a team 50 million dollars why doesn't Rizzo go to a cheap team like Tampa Bay and offer them 50 million for David Price? Or go to that SOB McCourt in L.A. that needs money in the worst way and offer him 50 million for Clayton Kershaw?Has to be better ways of getting a possible superstar than this.
- blovy8 - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:09 AM
Worst signing in terms of the contract was Guzman. And he was torture to watch, with the flip throwing he did and hundreds of weak ground outs. Other guys like Milledge were disappointing and had lousy instincts but came over in trades. Kearns just stunk pretty much too, but he was damaged goods from the beginning.

- Unkyd - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:13 AM

baseballswami: Do you really want to go there? WMP, PLoD, Kearns (re-sign/extension), FLoP, Stairs for the player side; Villone, Willems on the pitching side off the top of my head. Given the $ cost, I'd go with Kearns since he also cost us 1 1/2 years of Nick Johnson.

Mark,Thanks for the 8:12 pm update. Very interesting that Yankees are involved given the new luxury tax implications w/ the just-signed CBA
- baseballswami - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:29 AM
Enjoying hearing your nominees for worst players ever signed by the nats – I tend to agree with LoDuca, but Stairs is right up there for me, especially because he couldn't play the field at all AND he couldn't hit. Anon 8:20 – I also do not remember the name – traumatic amnesia, I guess. For long term pain and suffering – Garrett Mock.Did we draft him or sign him?
- CN - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:30 AM

If you believe the items on MLBTR — and that's a big 'if' — the Yankees submitted a 'modest' bid and the bid sent to the Ham Fighters was 'high' (and the Japanese team will accept it). We'll see.

- Grandstander - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:09 AM
Reports are that the Yankees bid was "modest" (per Jon Heyman) and the high bid is reportedly very large.As to my earlier question, it doesn't need to be a situation in which a club submits a ridiculously high bid and then just doesn't pick up the phone. You could post what you know to be a winning bid, in this situation, say $70m, and then just play hardball with contract, stalling out around 3/$40m or something like that, which you think Darvish would probably not accept given the posting fee. You're still coloring inside the lines there to give you cover from "not being a grownup", and you've also stalled out a possible division rival from gaining a major asset.As Blovy8 pointed out, this happens with the waiver wire all the time.I guess BinM has the right of it that you can sour your reputation with the NPL, but I still feel like there's a lot of wiggle room. Either way, I think we all agree the posting system is broken and hopefully a solution can be found.Worst free agent signed? It's scary the wealth of options available for the answer. I'd chuck my hat in with the hefty lefty, Ray King.

'paid to Jap team'! And I guess I'm the only one offended by Anon at 6:41. wow!
- Water23 - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:20 AM
Grandstander,Actually, the posting team can choose any bid. If it feels you are trying to game the system it may work once but next time it is unlikely that other Japanese team will pass on your bids. Also, negotiating in bad faith will probably has serious repercussion with the FA and the agents. You might find yourself out in the cold when it comes to FA players.

No, Jeeves, you're not.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:25 AM
Of course, Grandstander, the less you risk looking like a [jerk], the more you risk the guy actually signing and losing the money. That's why teams don't always offer arbitration–the player might accept.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:33 AM
The Padres traded Brian Lawrence to the Nats for Vinny Castilla. Pretty much a wash, there, but not a free agent.I've got to go with Wily Mo Pena, tho Daniel Cabrera isn't a distant second. Guzman gets an undeserved bad rap here IMO, but that's been hashed to death and then some already. Ray King provided at least some production while he was here. Johnny Estrada didn't do anything, but he didn't cost much. Likewise Travis Lee–walked away from spring training.
- Unkyd - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:34 AM
Out of line. Me. Although it's hard for me to fathom "grownups" playing those kind of games… I have to admit, we see it all the time. Sorry for the intemperate words, Grandstander…and FS….
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:36 AM
I'd add Matt Stairs, but the problem wasn't signing him, it was keeping him. They didn't have to do that.

Considering Jeeves comment:An interesting side effect of having a Darvish could be the effect on Wang. The citizens of both countries have been know to have a great deal of animosity toward one another … both players are huge legends in their respective countries. It might foster a kind of synergistic competition that could greatly improve the performance of both pitchers?
- Anonymous - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:52 AM
Rizzo loves playing it close to the vest … it does make me wonder how much of that is Ted Lerner whose business dealings have that mark.
- Arlington BigFish - Dec 15, 2011 at 2:56 AM
Worst player ever: Daniel Cabrera, hands down. (Actually, watching him throw his hands up after each pitch — I guess in anticipation that some batter was going to take his head off — was one of the more bizarre experiences I've had in 50+ years of baseball fan-dom)
- Anonymous - Dec 15, 2011 at 3:02 AM
I guess its my hope that the Nats do enter the winning bid. Not because I am particularly enthused about the player but because I think people need to stop beating on Rizzo and especially the Lerners! Nobody is perfect but from where I stand it appears (unlike a certain poor example in Baltimore) they are doing everything in their power to be good stewards of DC's one and only baseball franchise. Even in what seems to be a close-to-depression level economy. Then perhaps the anti-Lerner types (and there are many) will perhaps be silenced once and for all. But I doubt that would ever happen.
- Gabor Mehes - Dec 15, 2011 at 3:23 AM
Washington is clearly no more a baseball town than Montreal was so the Lerners will just go the old Florida way, seemingly bid but instead pocket the luxury tax profits. With all this talk about a front line pitcher and a center fielder, they will start with Lannan as the senior pitcher and Werth on center field and a journeyman on left.Desmond the lead off…brrr.
- ehay2k - Dec 15, 2011 at 3:35 AM
Awful players: FLop, Milledge, Dukes, Cabrera, Olsen.As for Darvish, it will be interesting if the Nats are in the running. Just posting shows they are seriously interested, but it's still an auction. If they bid what they thought was reasonable, and get outbid, I won't be calling the Nats cheap. Every team has a value they put on a player. Getting outbid means someone else values that player more than you do. It could be the other team has a GM desperate to make a splash (see Epstein, Theo), or is quickly trying to placate alienated fans (see Cardinals, post-Pujols). They just may see value that no one else does. And all player decisions are a gamble, no matter what blue anyone places on them. I remember the anger in the Natosphere caused by letting Soriano go. Of course, in hindsight, not signing him was a great move. Ditto Dunn.So you never know what will happen. Figure your value on something, bid it, and if you don't get it, so be it.
- ehay2k - Dec 15, 2011 at 3:38 AM
…no matter what *value* anyone places…
- John C. - Dec 15, 2011 at 3:42 AM
@Gabor: You are uninformed. The Nationals are not eligible for luxury tax money under the new CBA. Talk of a front line pitcher? What does that have to do with Lannan being the senior pitcher? Anyway, they already have two front line pitchers (Strasburg and Zimmermann starting ahead of Lannan – we are far removed from the days when Lannan was the Opening Day starter here. Even after losing 205 games in two years the Nationals still drew more than twice what the Expos were drawing in Montreal.Perhaps you may wish to research your positions prior to posting them. Or not, of course – this is the internet, no one can know who it is that is being a jerk.Heh. Caption word: calmlet

Beer Goggles!! How could I forget?
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 15, 2011 at 4:05 AM
who is the worst player the nats have ever signed?Major leagues only? Wil Cordero didn't exactly distinguish himself that last year, but he had a decent career overall. Ryan Drese won a couple of games. Do Rule 5 guys count? Levale Speigner. Technically, a trade from the Twins, I guess.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 15, 2011 at 4:09 AM
Jerome Williams. Had one good game in 2007, and he got injured in that. But he's stuck around the fringes of The Show since then.

If anything, it used to be a colony of Japan for 50 years and both countries are actually on very friendly terms because of this tie.Now, if you're talking about the communist China, then that's a different story. But it has nothing to do with Wang.
- SBrent - Dec 15, 2011 at 5:01 AM
Grandstander, on your point about gaming the posting system, maybe we should bear in mind that your proposal involves giving away some $70 million of cash for, what, maybe two months? That's not a cost- free thing to do on purely financial terms. Compared to other investments you might make with the same money for that period of time, you might lose a million bucks in lost earnings trying to play a game like that. Kind of an expensive way to prevent SOME one team (out of 29, 25 of which don't play in your division) from acquiring a player who may or may not pan out anyway. Does that seem like a sensible cost-benefit tradeoff?
- Anonymous - Dec 15, 2011 at 5:34 AM
Wang is from Taiwan, there's no animosity of any kind towards Japan and vice versa. If anything, it used to be a colony of Japan for 50 years and both countries are actually on very friendly terms because of this tie.Therein lies my point "colony". In general all Chinese and Koreans consider Japan a less than beneficent colonial power. Your history is lacking I'm afraid, you've forgotten world war II. At point much of China was under Japanese Imperial control. The atrocities that occurred in Shanghai come to mind. All Chinese (mainland or not) from a certain generation were pretty unhappy with the Japanese. How much that carries over to the current generation[s] is the question.
- Anonymous - Dec 15, 2011 at 5:39 AM
The Nationals are not eligible for luxury tax money under the new CBA. Talk of a front line pitcher? In point-of-fact acquiring Darvish could in fact help in replacing that lost revenue stream. The Nats can't make the money off of the media the way the Angels and Rangers will …. thanks to Peter Angelos and MASN. Best perhaps only way? To field a consistent winner thereby filling the seats on a nightly basis. And doing mostly from within and not with high priced free agents. Nevertheless, at this point its almost a given that the Nats must increase payroll, BUT with proven performers in order to rebuild their revenue stream. A top-of-the-rotation SP and an elite hitter (see P. Fielder) might just fill that order.

Here is the latest, still no word on if the Nats bid, but I have to think they did based on "Rizzo the Scout" comments.Beside the Reds not bidding, I see no huge surprises.

This is the best kept secret in baseball history. I can't beleive that the winning bidder hasn't been leaked to the MLB Network; it t6he same owners.I remember when the protected listed for expansion was suppose to be "top secret" and the day the Cubs got it from MLB it was in the Tribune which owned the Cubs at the time.I still can't get over we can't even sniff a leak (yet).

If you're looking for the most popular and most requested faceguard in the world, then you've found the right answer – the Schutt® SUPER-PRO® carbon steel faceguard. Incredibly durable and rugged, the SUPER-PRO® carbon steel faceguard offers players at all levels the chance to play a superior piece of equipment at an economical price.
Anyone who puts on a Schutt® faceguard knows they're putting on decades of the industry's leading design, research and development. Constructed of premium carbon steel, the SUPER-PRO® is what more players choose to put on their helmets than any other faceguard on the planet.
Offered in 18 styles for sizes Small –Large and 6 styles for size XL helmet
RJOP UB Reinforced Jaw & Oral Protection
UB - U-Bar U-Bar designs provides additional protection for the bridge of the player's nose.
Ideal for positions -Offensive Line -Defensive Line -Fullback -Linebacker -Quarterback
This faceguard can be mounted on Schutt football helmets using traditional mounting hardware or the hardware that is required with our exclusive Quarter-Turn Release System. It's important to note that the hardware is not interchangeable.
Our exclusive Quarter-Turn Release System featured in our Elite Series helmets uses hardware (screws and T-Nuts) that makes it easier to attach and detach faceguards from a football helmet. The Quarter-Turn Release System requires larger holes be drilled into the helmet shell to accept its special hardware.
Therefore, older model faceguards will only properly fit helmets designed for the Quarter-Turn Release System if the guard is attached with the Quarter-Turn Release System hardware.
You should never attach a faceguard to a helmet using traditional hardware if the helmet has been designed for the Quarter-Turn Release System. Doing so may compromise the helmet's performance

By Now Foods
274 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Nov 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Krill oil is a very good source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. It has all of the benefits of your typical fish oils without those annoying "fish burps" coming to haunt you later on. Our "favorite TV Dr. Oz" highly recommends krill oil over the regular fish oils. It is said to be much better and more effective in a much smaller dosage. If you found my review to be helpful please click on the yes button. Remember to check out the daily and weekly specials.
After chemo and lot's of fysical problems after this period I started using these for my nerve system. This was partly destroyed because of chemo.Also for problems sleeping. I have no words to describe the difference! After 14 days daily use the progress is incredible surprising for me. I'm so greatfull to get a part of my live back.

Mini Pendant Lights
Small pendant lights that make a big impact.
Why We Love Mini Pendants
Petite lights can pack a powerful, artistic punch and add to the overall atmosphere of the home, small though they may be. Mini pendants showcase your personality and that of the space, glowing in nooks and corners that might not otherwise get much attention. From glass miniature pendants by Besa Lighting and ELK Lighting to contemporary mini pendants from Robert Sonneman, Bruck and LBL Lighting, these little guys are often the best way to accessorize the home when it comes to lighting.
Where Mini Pendant Lighting Works Best
Mini pendant lights are great for contributing to kitchen lighting. Mini pendants in the kitchen can be used around the food service/preparation area or suspended as kitchen island lighting. Kitchen island mini pendant lights provide an extra dash of downlighting while creating a color splash with their varied hues. Their focused pool of light is also beneficial for over a work of art displayed on a dining room buffet table, or lighting a cutaway nook in the entryway. Many mini pendant light fixtures are part of a larger collection as well, so it's easy to create a whole lighting design scheme with other pieces from the same product family.
Other Great Options
You'll want to look into LED mini pendants for their energy efficiency and eco-friendly benefits, as well as the selection of energy efficient line and low voltage mini pendant lighting offered at Lumens. LED mini pendant lighting allows you to be eco-friendly in your lighting design, while also creating the perfect modern touch to your space. Finally, be sure to check out track lighting if you want to add several mini pendants to the same electrical box.

Our Programs
FITNESSGRAM is a fitness assessment and reporting program for youth, first developed in 1982 by The Cooper Institute in response to the need for a comprehensive set of assessment procedures in physical education programs. The assessment includes a variety of health-related physical fitness tests that assess aerobic capacity; muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility; and body composition.
Scores from these assessments are compared to Healthy Fitness Zone™ (HFZ) standards to determine students' overall physical fitness and suggest areas for improvement when appropriate. Healthy Fitness Zone™ standards are not based on class averages or any other peer comparisons. They are criterion-referenced standards that are based on levels of fitness needed for good health. The standards are set specifically for boys and girls of various ages using the best available research.
FITNESSGRAM/Activitygram is software from Human Kinetics. The software provides an efficient way for schools and other organizations to perform effective fitness and physical activity assessments on children, provide appropriate feedback to children and parents, and maintain accurate and comprehensive records over time.
A key feature of the FITNESSGRAM/Activitygram software is its ability to generate printed reports for each student (a parent version of the report can be generated, too). The FITNESSGRAM report defines the recommended range of fitness for each test measure—the Healthy Fitness Zone™. When a child's score falls within the Healthy Fitness Zone™, it means the child has achieved a level of fitness associated with being healthy. Teachers and administrators can also generate more advanced statistical reports on the health and fitness of all their students.
The FITNESSGRAM report provides information about the student's level of physical fitness in an easy-to-read format. More important, the report provides personalized suggestions that can help in planning an individualized fitness plan.
FITNESSGRAM/Activitygram is a team effort. It requires participation of teachers, administrators, and technology staff. The benefits are immense—FITNESSGRAM can help a physical education program define its goals and bring everyone on board with those common goals.
