This is The Stew's running list of trades and signings that happen during baseball's winter meetings. We'll keep updating this post as the news happens. For more chatter and rumors, be sure to check out our winter meetings tracker.
Joba Chamberlain joins the Tigers bullpen
Adding another arm to their rebuilt bullpen, the Detroit Tigers have agreed to terms with Joba Chamberlain, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal. The contract is for one year and $2.5 million. Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown first reported Wednesday that the Tigers were a possible destination for Chamberlain.
BLS take: Joba was once a star-in-the-making for the Yankees, but floundered in the Big Apple. By 2013, he had the worst year of his career. He posted a 4.93 ERA in 40 innings. Now he'll likely set up new Tigers closer Joe Nathan. Getting out of pinstripes could be a new start for Joba, 28, at least the Tigers are hoping so.

Phillies sign Roberto Hernandez to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million
The Philadelphia Phillies added Roberto "Don't Call Me Fausto" Hernandez to their starting rotation on a one-year deal. He'll get $4.5 million plus incentives tied to how many innings he throws. Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly was first to report. MLB Trade Rumors had the financials.
BLS take: Oh, Phillies. He was good in 2007 and decent in 2010. But his ERA by year, from 2011 to 2013: 5.25, 7.53 (in only three starts) and 4.89. The Phillies need pitching help, for sure. But this? Meh.
* * *
Clint Barmes returns to Pittsburgh on one-year deal
The Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing back 35-year-old shortstop Clint Barmes on a one-year deal worth $2 million, reports Buster Olney of ESPN.
BLS take: Barmes doesn't hit much, but plays good defense, and that's important to the Pirates. He's a player they know. They're not paying him much. Ho-hum deal.
* * *
Giants sign Mike Morse to a one-year deal
You wanted a power-hitting left fielder, San Francisco Giants fans? Here you go. The team signed Mike Morse — ex of the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners and Washington Nationals — to a one-year deal worth $6 million. Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area was first to report the deal.
BLS take: OK, so Morse comes with a lot of risk and baggage in addition to that power. He's probably *not* the big-hitting left fielder the Giants dreamed about, but he can hit the ball out of the yard. He hit 13 homers with only 27 RBIs last season while hitting .215. Not wonderful. But he was hampered by injuries. Morse, 31, was stellar in 2011. He hit 31 homers and drove in 95 runs, while hitting .303/.360/.550. If he can return to that form, huge steal for the Giants. Maybe he's an Aubrey Huff-type addition? A lot of that depends upon his health. But, hey, if there's any team that knows about a high-maintenance left fielder who can hit the ball far, it's the Giants.
* * *
The Cubs and Marlins pulled off a trade, swapping a pair of unspectacular outfielders — Brian Bogusevic and Justin Ruggiano. The Cubs get Ruggiano and the Marlins get Bogusevic.
BLS take: Ruggiano hit .222/.298/.396 last season, but was much better in 2012, posting a .313/.374/.535 line. He's 31, so there's not tremendous upside, but he could be a decent player, if he lands somewhere in the middle in 2014. Bogusevic, 29, is a former first-round pick by the Houston Astros. So after spending his career with the Astros and Cubs, now he's going to the Marlins. You have to feel for the guy. He hit .274 in 47 games last year for the Cubs. In 2012, when he played closer to everyday for the Astros, he hit .203/.297/.299 with seven homers and 28 RBIs. In essence, this is mostly a shoulder-shrugger of a move with Ruggiano having a little bit more upside.

Tomo Ohka agrees to minor league contract with Blue Jays
Wednesday's comeback story is a fascinating one. 37-year-old right-hander Tomo Ohka, who last appeared in the major leagues in 2009 and sat out the 2012 season in Japan following shoulder surgery, has verbally agreed on a minor league deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Shi Davidi of Sportsnets.ca was the first to report the agreement. He also notes Ohka has reinvented himself as a knucklerballer.
BLS take: If you're going to attempt a comeback as a knuckleballer, you couldn't ask for a more ideal teammate than R.A. Dickey. The former Cy Young award winner has gone through the exact same process and extended his career by several years already. Ohka, who posted a 4.26 ERA over 10 big league seasons, is expected to begin the season in the minors but could be a quick mover if he finds success with his new pitch in spring training. It's probably a longshot, but there's nothing to lose for either side. At the very least it could be a fun storyline to track come February. — Mark Townsend
* * *
Mets sign Bartolo Colon to a two-year deal
Be honest, if you heard a team gave a two-year deal to a 40-year-old pitcher, you'd think it was a New York team, right? Well, it's the New York Mets. Colon, of course, isn't just any 40-year-old. He's the 40-year-old you throw $20 million at. The deal was confirmed by Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. It was first reported as close by Sweeny Murti of WFAN. Colon turns 41 in May and will be 43 in the last year of his deal.
BLS take: He's a 40-year-old pitcher and they're paying him $10 million per year. That might not build the most confidence amongst Mets fan, but keep in mind that Colon had a 2.65 ERA last season for the A's. He's got great control. He's been around. He's a wily vet. And $10 million dollars ,while it might seem like a lot, that's how much the Astros are paying Scott Feldman.
* * *
Edinson Volquez agrees to one-year deal with the Pirates
Edinson Volquez is headed back to the NL Central after being passed around the NL West last season. The ex-Padres and Dodgers starter has found a new home with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Volquez, 30, has agreed to a one-year deal worth $5 million, according to Ken Rosenthal. He'll back near Cincinnati, where he started his career.
BLS take: If the Pirates can turn Volquez into Francisco Liriano 2.0, then this will be brilliant. If they don't get A.J. Burnett back and they're expecting big things out of Volquez, this could flounder. We all remember when Volquez was good — 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA in 2008 — but that was a lifetime ago. Last year: 5.71 ERA.
* * *
Mariners sign Corey Hart to one-year deal, get Logan Morrison in trade
The Mariners are busy. They've signed slugger Corey Hart, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. He'll bat behind the recently signed Robinson Cano in the rebuilt M's lineup. The Marlins also traded for Logan Morrison from the Miami Marlins in exchange for pitcher Carter Capps, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. Both guys can play first base, the outfield or DH.
Hart hit 87 homers in the past three seasons, including a 2010 campaign in which he hit 31 homers and drove in 102 runs. He's not a .300+ hitter, but the M's are looking for a guy to mash behind Cano, and that's something he should do.
Morrison is similar to Hart. He's a big guy with power potential, just from the left side, and he's had injury trouble the past few years too. In 2011, Morrison hit 23 homers and drove in 72 runs. He's not a high-average guy. His career line: .249 /.337./427. But Morrison is still 26 and won't be a free agent until 2017, so the Mariners are hoping his best days are ahead of him.
* * *
Nationals get reliever Jerry Blevins in trade with A's
The Washington Nationals had been chasing a left-handed relief pitcher, and rather than pay for one on the free-agent market, they found a trade partner in the always wheeling-and-dealing Oakland Athletics. The pitching-rich A's are sending Jerry Blevins, 30, to D.C. In return, the A's get minor leaguer Billy Burns, a speedy switch-hitting outfielder who was the Nats minor-league player of the year in 2013. SB Nation's Chris Cotillo was first to report the deal.
BLS take: The Nats got what they needed, and didn't spend a ton of money to do it, so that's a plus. Blevins is a quality bullpen guy — he had a 3.15 ERA in 60 innings last season for Oakland. Burns, meanwhile, stole 74 bases a year ago in between Single-A and Double-A. After Tuesday's Brett Anderson trade, GM Billy Beane talked about Oakland's need to replenish its farm system, and that's the immediate outcome in this trade for the A's as well. You know those A's, always a few moves ahead.
* * *
Pirates give pitcher Charlie Morton a three-year extension
Not a team-changing deal here: The Pittsburgh Pirates signed starting pitcher Charlie Morton to a three-year extension worth at least $21 million and maybe as much as $30 million. Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan was first to report the deal and explains in detail.
BLS take: You're seeing how much starting pitching is beginning to cost — i.e. A LOT — so the Pirates are smart to grab Morton for three more years. It'll likely be a good value move for them. Morton gets a lot of ground balls and had a 3.26 ERA last season in 20 starts. He's 30, so they're getting him for some good years too.
* * *
Mark Trumbo goes to Diamondbacks in three-team deal with Angels and White Sox
Slugger Mark Trumbo, one of the Los Angeles Angels' big bats, will join Paul Goldschmidt in the Arizona Diamondbacks lineup, after the Angels, D-backs and Chicago White Sox completed a three-team trade. Speedy center fielder Adam Eaton will go from Arizona to Chicago, while the Angels get the starting pitching they so desperately needed — Tyler Skaggs from the D-backs and Hector Santiago from the White Sox. The D-backs are also getting two prospects, one each from the White Sox and Angels.
BLS take: The Angels did what they needed to, and got some pitching. That makes them the immediate winners here. Trumbo hits for power and having him in the lineup with Goldschmidt might be daunting, but he's streaky and doesn't have a great OBP. Plus, he's not an ideal outfielder. Eaton has a lot of upside, as a speedy top-of-the-order guy and could be looked at as a steal in a couple of years.
* * *
A's trade Brett Anderson to the Rockies for Drew Pomeranz
The much-rumored Brett Anderson trade has happened. Anderson, 25, will join the Colorado Rockies with former first-round pick Drew Pomeranz headed to Oakland with prospect Chris Jensen in town.
Source: LHP Brett Anderson goes to Colorado for LHP Drew Pomeranz and Class A RHP Chris Jensen. @Ken_Rosenthal had it first. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 10, 2013
Would not have thought this: Brett Anderson is only 9 months older than Drew Pomeranz. A's control him for five years, Rox Anderson for two.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 10, 2013
The Chronicle has learned that the #Athletics will send $2 million to #Rockies with Anderson.— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) December 10, 2013
BLS take: Risky move on both sides, which in reality means it works. Anderson has front-of-the-rotation stuff, but has had a rough run with injuries. He was expendable in Oakland, which has a talented young rotation and already added Scott Kazmir this offseason. Going to Colorado isn't ideal, but Anderson is already an underdog, so might as well have to overcome the elevation too. Pomeranz, on the other hand, was the No. 5 pick in the 2010 draft. He was a main piece in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade. But Pomeranz struggled in Colorado. He was in the minors for much of 2013, but he's started through parts of three seasons. For his career, he has a 5.20 big-league ERA. If there's a place he's going to turn it around, though, Oakland seems like a good bet.
* * *
Rajai Davis agrees to a two-year deal with the Tigers
Speedy outfielder Rajai Davis will be a Detroit Tiger for the next two years, signing a $10 million contract, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. Davis, 33, spent the last three years with the Blue Jays.
BLS take: Not exactly the outfield help that Tigers fans had in mind after the team freed up some money by trading Prince Fielder and Doug Fister, right? In Toronto, Davis saw the most action in 2012, when he played 142 games and hit .257/.309/.378. He wasn't an everyday player in 2013 but hit .260 in 108 games. His WAR was 1.8 last season. Davis hits lefties well, and could be a platoon option for the Tigers, as their outfield sits right now. The Tigers could still use another outfielder, as Davis is not the get-you-over-the-hump answer in Detroit. He did, however, steal 91 bases over the past two seasons.
* * *
White Sox add pitcher Felipe Paulino on a one-year deal
The White Sox added starting pitching depth by signing Felipe Paulino to a one-year deal worth $1.75 million. He's coming back from 2012 Tommy John surgery. In 2011 and 2012, he pitched for the Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Royals.
White Sox newest addition is @fpaulino05 at 1-year, $1.75-million. They hold a $4 million option for 2015 with a $250,000 buyout on the RHP — Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) December 9, 2013
BLS take: There's good potential here. There's also risk. His ERA was 4.46 in 2011, but advanced-stat minded pundits will tell you he's better than that. They love Paulino's FIP of 3.54 (that's from 2010-2012). This isn't a organization-altering move, but come July or August, the White Sox could look smart.
* * *
Indians sign David Cooper to major-league deal
The MLB comeback of David Cooper looks to be upon us. The Cleveland Indians signed the 26-year-old former first-round pick to a major-league deal. He had a career-saving spinal surgery last April and then hit .314/.364/.373 in 13 minor-league games for the Indians in August.
BLS take: Cooper hit .300/.324/.464 in 45 big-league games for the Blue Jays in 2012. He can hit and get on base, which is always helpful. He'll mostly be called upon as a pinch hitter for Cleveland, who starts Nick Swisher at first. Catcher Carlos Santana played 29 games at first in 2013, but there's talk of him playing some third base in 2014. That might open a window to more playing time for Cooper if he's productive.
* * *
Marlins sign ex-Pirate Garrett Jones for $7.75 million
The first signing of the Winter Meetings isn't the sexiest. It's not even all that surprising. But here it is: First baseman/outfielder Garrett Jones has agreed to join the Miami Marlins on a two-year, $7.75 million contract. The two had been lined up as match since last week, but now it's legit. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald gave us the financials.
The Pittsburgh Pirates ended their six-year relationship with Jones in November. He had a down year in 2013 hitting .233/.289/.419 with just 15 homers. Jones, 32, was in line to make about $5.3 million via arbitration from the Pirates. Instead, he'll make $2.75 million in 2014 from the Marlins with $5 million following in 2015. Jones is power prone. He hit 27 homers in 2012 and has 102 for his career. In Miami, he's expected to be a platoon option at first base and add depth in right field, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.
BLS take: Again, not sexy, but the Marlins can hope for a better 2014 from Jones, whose career average is 20 points higher than it was in 2013. However, he's not exactly a young guy still trying to figure things out, so there's not a tremendous amount of upside to hope for. The most interesting thing about this deal, actually, is that it probably means the Marlins will trade Logan Morrison now, and his power could be a good acquisition for a contender seeking another bat. In fact, the Pirates are one of the teams said to be interested in Morrison.

Heartwarming: Baccano!
- The close-up on Nice's and Jacuzzi's intertwined hands as they make a dash in the opening.
- Nice and Jacuzzi are basically the Crowning Pairing of Heartwarming, especially once you hear their backstory: Back when Nice was a kid, she got a little too reckless with explosives and ended up blowing out her eye and a good deal of skin on her face and arms. After spending the majority of her recovery as a depressed, reclusive wreck, she hears Jacuzzi rapping on her window and sporting a massive tattoo on his face. Turns out that as soon as he heard of the accident, he rushed straight out to get it so that Nice wouldn't have to feel disfigured and alone. Awwwwwww.
- When Jacuzzi faces off against Graham his entire gang shows up (seemingly independently) to back him up. When Graham accuses Jacuzzi of ignoring his instructions to come alone the entire gang replies by saying that they all came alone or words to that effect.
- Ladd jumping off the train to save Lua is surprisingly touching, everything else considered.
- "I wish I could kill you now and forever." The expressions on both their faces is strangely touching.
- Something about Isaac and Miria's final scene will make you grin and tear up, even.
- "Isaac and Miria Unintentionally Spread Happiness Around Them."- A Crowning Episode of Heartwarming.
- Czes and Maiza's scene at the end of the anime.
- Elmer and Czes have a scene in 2001 that counts as this. Czes is questioning the nature of humanity, as the trust and kindness that Maiza and the New York immortals have shown him contradicts the cynical view that Fermet's betrayal instilled in him. He questions whether Elmer's unconditional trust in him is genuine. Elmer's response is to grab Czes's right hand and put it on his own head, telling Czes to stop worrying about it and just be glad that people trust and care about him.
- Chane and Claire's final scene on the anime, more on Chane's side as she lived her life so far as a pet, since Huey only thought of his own daughter as a walking keeper of secrets and a bodyguard, but Jacuzzi and Claire (mostly Claire) started to make Chane open up to new bonds of friendship and love, specially love by Claire's unique way of proposing; in the end we can actually see Chane smiling for what may be the first time ever for her. Love truly is a beautiful thing.
- Czeslaw Meyer has come to believe, as a result of his Tragic Past, that he cannot trust anyone, not even his friends, and when he finds that Isaac and Miria are immortals he worries that they will devour him. Instead, they go to great lengths to rescue him, and when they believe that the monstrous "Rail Tracer" is trying to eat him, both of them throw their own bodies over him to protect him, moving him to tears with their wholehearted kindness and their later assertions that he's a good person. At the very end, when he arrives in New York, it is revealed that he had taken the journey their aboard the Flying Pussyfoot with the purpose of devouring Maiza. When he meets Maiza, he is afraid that he will be devoured, but instead Maiza pats him on the head with his left hand as he comforts him, causing Czes to break down in tears and embrace him.
- The whole ending of Baccano! (episode 13, not the last 3 extra episodes) to This Troper was one huge Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. Everyone comes back to life after being shot, thanks to Isaac and Miria sharing the Elixir of Immortality with everyone, thinking that it was ordinary liquor. Firo manages to save Ennis from Szilard. Maiza (who at first had been sad that they've become immortal and now will not be able to die like him) smiles when he sees that everyone is going back to drinking and partying.
- Everything Isaac and Miria do. Everything.
- These also qualify for Crowning Moments of Funny most of the time.
- Ennis's intended last words to Isaac and Miria as she finally finds the courage to turn against her master, Szilard (an action which is guaranteed to lead to her death)
Ennis: Could you listen to this last request of mine?...Please don't forget me.
- Claire's speech to Chane at the end of Episode 15 and her reaction is kind of adorable, albeit in the bizarre way which results from placing the words Claire and adorable in the same sentence.
"I love you so much from the bottom of my heart that it's troubling!...I'm sorry. I lied. It's not actually troubling."
- When rescuing the wounded Czeslaw from under the train, Isaac and Miria end up losing their footing and going flying into the air with Czeslaw. Their first instinct is to wrap their bodies around him so as to minimize the damage the impact would cause to him. Awwwwwww.
- For me, the whole conversation between Carol and the Vice-President about how the story doesn't need to have an ending, followed by the montage at the end of all the characters was very heartwarming...and of course we see what exactly happened to that mouse.
- When Firo asks Ennis to say her name to just for the sake of hearing it. I mean, aww!
- Firo's response to Ennis telling him that Szilard created and can control her is to tell her that she's way too cute to be related to someone like that. D'awwww.
- Isaac, Miria, Firo, Maiza, Ennis, and the rest of the Martillo family meet up again in 1932 to play around with dominoes. After all the trouble they went to, this troper believes that they need a nice break.
- Chane and Claire meeting cutely in the manga adaptation.
- Firo's relationship with the Martillo family can be considered this - not only was did they adopt him from the streets, they also seem to consider him family just as much as he considers them. The fact of Firo's Undying Loyalty towards the Martillos just makes their older sibling-esque teasing even sweeter.
- When Firo is sent to Alcatraz and meets Ladd there, they quickly become friends. When Firo mentions that last he heard, Graham had gotten into trouble with the Runorata Family, Ladd immediately says that the first thing he'd do once he got out of prison was go help Graham out.
- Isaac : Im sorry, Miria! My wallet was actually in my pocket. At the end of Alice in chains, Isaac apologizing to Miria about leaving her alone while he was in jail. This troper cried tears of joy.
- Miria's Letter to Issac in the prelude of...one of The Slash books (can't remember exactly which one). Pretty dark actually, but also shows just how much they love each other.
- In the novels (Children of Bottle specifically), Elmer forced Czes's right hand on his head as a way to show that trust is a virtue.

Ryan Amundson, a Springfield, Missouri, native who lost his 29-year-old brother Craig in the September 11 Pentagon attack, echoes the sentiment more politely. "I don't think you can get peace through war," he says. "Wars are poor chisels for peaceful tomorrows."
Ryan and his sister-in-law, Amber, are members of September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows. In addition to staging walks for peace and speaking out against violent responses to terrorism, the group has sent representatives to Afghanistan with food and donated goods for victims of the U.S. military actions. "They're not Taliban. They're not Al-Qaeda. They're just people who got caught in the crossfire," Ryan says. "A lot of people didn't even know who Osama Bin Laden was; they just knew they were getting bombed. We wanted to show them that American people were compassionate."
After losing Craig, Ryan and Amber immediately rejected the idea of revenge, despite the shock they felt at the attacks. September 11 was Ryan's first day as a substitute teacher at his old high school. When he heard that a building in New York had been hit by a plane, he assumed it was a terrible accident. After his first class, he walked through the hallways and saw televisions on in every room. "Jesus," he says he thought. "Is this how they teach kids now?"
Although he was worried about his brother, Ryan continued to teach. "The hole in the Pentagon looked so small," he says. "I thought the chances of something happening to him were really slim."
Ryan remembers that when he was a kid, he always worried that the principal might pull him out of class to tell him some sort of bad news. He made it through childhood without that happening -- and he shakes his head in disbelief when he recalls the principal's knock on his classroom door on September 11. His parents wanted him to come home; they planned to drive to Washington, D.C.
"One of the first things a lot of us felt was, 'I don't want anyone anywhere to feel this same thing,'" he says. "Before September 11, I don't even really think I was a pacifist. I wasn't an activist. It changed me. It's just, this isn't a struggle between Muslims and Christians, or the so-called civilized world and the noncivilized world. It's a struggle between violence and nonviolence."
Ryan will attend Kansas City's Rally for Real Security on the Plaza this Sunday. Considering that Craig used to drive a car with a bumper sticker that read "Visualize World Peace," Ryan thinks this is a more fitting memorial than a call to arms. "I want to do something to honor my brother in a positive way," he says.

Love this. Can't get enough of it! I make it pretty much true to the recipe (without that pesky measuring part). The biggest takeaway for me is that I can grill veggies on my grill pan with NO oil! This is just a great thing to know. Every time I make this, I keep thinking it could be tweaked in so many ways - hm - mint instead of parsley or ... But I stick with the original though I do often add other vegetables (also grilled on the grill pan) - zucchini (sliced lengthwise), bell peppers (quartered) and portabello mushrooms are all fantastic. I'll serve this as a side dish or an appetizer with burrata (yum) or on top of some crusty bread with goat cheese.flag if inappropriate
This was sooo delicious!flag if inappropriate
This is wonderful. I had Japanese eggplants and so sliced them into 'coins,' grilled them on the stove and then marinated them in the parsley mixture for several hours and it made a fantastic salad.flag if inappropriate
Great easy recipe. I used split baby eggplants and had some garlic scapes on hand to add to the marinade. We found ourselves smearing the eggplant and marinade on slices of baguette and topping with a little parmesan. Decadent. With added leftover grilled spring sugar baby onion to the leftover eggplant and marinade. It just gets better and better...flag if inappropriate
I've made this recipe a number of times over the years. It's delicious as written, and it's nice to have something done ahead of time when entertaining. It is also good as sandwiches, so we sometimes skip straight to that!flag if inappropriate
Not sure why no one mentioned slicing the eggplant 1/3" is pretty thin and it grills quickly. Also I found the parsley mixture needed to be tripled for a small eggplant I grilled. Still waiting to taste this is seems good.flag if inappropriate
I followed the recipe pretty much as directed. Since I don't have a grill, I put the eggplant in my George Foreman electric. Absolutely delicious. I can't wait to make my leftover sandwich at work on Monday.flag if inappropriate
Excellent combination of flavours. I did not bother with dipping the eggplant in balsamic, I just added the vinegar to the parsley mixture. I didn't think I would like it "chewy" as described so did brush some oil on before grilled the eggplant.flag if inappropriate
An easy yet tasty dish that is a cook's best friend--it's made hours before it's served and only gets better the longer one waits. A terrific addition to a summer menu.flag if inappropriate
fabulous flavor! after mixing the "pesto" with the eggplant i chopped up the eggplant and the parsley pesto and mixed it into cheese tortellini... IT WAS AMAZING!flag if inappropriate

That is an honest to god comment on a review of Age of Ultron that Esquire published. The twist being that the review was written by a 9-year-old boy (which is pretty fun in its own right). The star of the show though is clearly this stunning example of the geeky fandom.
Here's the text of the review in full, for easier reading:
The premise for this whole article is false--the movie was actually made for me: a middle-aged guy that grew up on comics books, and has enough disposable income to totally geek out and buy the movie, the toys, etc in an effort to re-capture the youth that is quickly disappearing in the rearview mirror. It was made for the geeks that read every blog post about the who's and why's, looked at all the production stills and followed the negotiations between Marvel and Fox to allow Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to appear in both films. It was made of the geeks that watch a less-than-stellar show like Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. simply because it is part of the MCU. It is made for the geeks that actually know what the MCU stands for. It is made for the geeks that are scared they will have their first heart attack before we finally get to see Thanos on screen for any longer than a fleeting cameo (2019 or 2020).
Stand aside 9 year olds, this isn't your movie. It is mine. And I loved it.
Memories Pizza made waves this week when they openly declared they would deny catering service to gay weddings and other practices they say would infringe upon their religious beliefs - as is now within their legal right in Indiana. Predictably, late night television, the internet, and Twitter had a field day with the small business in an even smaller town.
Nowhere is that more apparent though on the company's Yelp page, which now resembles the twisted amalgamation of every internet comment thread you'd never want to read in your life ever. Above you can see but a fraction of the impotent web-rage that the pizza place has generated, both in support and dreision. Yelp staff has already undergone an extensive process to remove violent and threatening comments from the page, but what remains is horrifying enough on its own.
Memories set up a GoFundMe crowdsourcing page to cover the "financial loss endured by the proprietors' stand for faith," generating $240,000 in less than 24 hours. The more cynical among us might consider this a blatant cash grab and publicity stunt for a tiny pizza joint in an unknown town, but I mean... It costs a lot of money to generate this kind of controversy and garner support from American conservatives, right?

A simple, easily extensible, static documents generation task for Grunt.
A simple, easily extensible, static documents generation task for Grunt.
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install jstatic --save-dev
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named
jstatic to the data object passed into
gruntinitConfig jstatic: options: // Task-specific options go here. your_target: // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
jstatic page generation uses a two pass system. In the first pass, all the files are read and a set of contexts (dictionary containing details about each page) is built. In the second pass, all the output documents are generated. The processing and conversion logic are implemented by two types of components.
The minimum configuration required is a Files Array for each target, specifying the source files and destination.
Each File Array entry can contain a
preprocessors and or
formatters field which
contains the configuration for one or more preprocessors or formatters. These will be applied
on the file sequentially in the first and second pass respectively.
preprocessors or
formatters field in the Files Array can be a list of
{type: "component name", ... params ...}
The params, varies from component to component. The default value for
preprocessors is
"yafm" and for
formatters is
"swig", thus in the absence of any configuration, jstatic preprocesses the files
through yafm (YAml Front Matter Processor) and formats it with swig (templating engine).
gruntinitConfig jstatic: site: files: src: 'src/content/index.html' dest: "site" formatters: type: "swig" layout: "simple.html" src: 'src/content/*.html' '!src/content/index.html' dest: "site" src: 'src/content/*.md' dest: "site" formatters: "markdown" "swig" src: 'src/content/posts/*.html' dest: "site/posts" src: 'src/content/posts/*.md' dest: "site/posts" formatters: "markdown" type: "swig" layout: "posts.html" ;
The following global, or per-task options can be used with jstatic
linkPrefix String (default: "/"): This string is prefixed to the link field in a page's context.
linkPathStrip Number (default: 1): This many path elements are stripped off from the beginning
of a file's destination path, before building the link.
extraContext Array of String or Object (default: []): List containing either a) paths to json or yaml
files b) Objects. The data from this list will be merged
to the context during second pass
Additionally, jstatic options may contain initialization options for each component. These options will be inside a field with same name as the component.
YFM is an optionalsection of valid YAML that is placed at the top of a page and is used for maintaining metadata for the page and its contents.
This components extracts YAML Front Matter from the input file into the file context and passes on the remaining portion.
This component applies swig templating engine to the file contents. Each file's context is available as template variables inside swig.
layout String (defualt: undefined) - If provided, then after rendering an input file, the rendered
contents is passed as a variable
body to the layout file.
you can also include any swig initialization options to initialize the swig library.
layout String (default: undefined) - This overrides the layout option for the current files array entry.
This component formats the file contents using the marked markdown engine
The context passed during the second pass, contains an additional
variable. This variable is a list of file contexts for all the files that were
parsed in the first pass.
Generating Collection summary pages, like blog home pages, archive pages, tag/category pages simply involves creating a file with swig code to loop over the fileContexts array.
Eg: This example generates a list of files, filtered by category and sorted in reverse chronological order
{% for file in fileContexts|having("category","blog")|sortBy("publishTime")|reverse %} {{file.publishTime|date("d M Y")}} {{file.title}} {% endfor %}
Jstatic chains formatters and preprocessors. For example, to put a markdown converted content into a swig layout we can chain "markdown" and "swig" formatters
eg: This files array entry converts any .md files to html and then wraps it in a swig template
src: 'src/content/posts/*.md' dest: "site/posts" formatters: "markdown" type: "swig" layout: "posts.html"
gruntinitConfig jstatic: options: linkPrefix: "http://azeemarshad.in/" extraContext: "src/context/meta.json" swig: root: "./" "src/templates" layout: "default.html" site: files: // convert main landing page using simple layout src: 'src/content/index.html' dest: "site" formatters: type: "swig" layout: "simple.html" // convert all remaining root pages using default layout src: 'src/content/*.html' '!src/content/index.html' dest: "site" // also convert root md files src: 'src/content/*.md' dest: "site" formatters: "markdown" "swig" // blog index file src: 'src/content/posts/*.html' dest: "site/posts" // convert articles md files using special blog layout src: 'src/content/posts/*.md' dest: "site/posts" formatters: "markdown" type: "swig" layout: "posts.html" clean: site: 'site/*' copy: site: files: expand: true cwd:"src/" src:"assets/**/*" "images/**/*" dest: "site" watch: site: files: "src/**/*" tasks: "default" ;

I'm Greg McBride, senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com and here is your weekly look at auto loan rates.
The momentum was definitely to the upside, with a number of increases in auto loan rates posted this week. But it's only enough to bring rates to the highest levels of the month. The average five-year new-car loan rate is now 4.03 percent. On used cars, the average four-year rate is 4.49 percent.
Auto loan rates are still at super-low levels, making the financing very affordable for the would-be car-buyers who have postponed purchases over the past few years.

It is almost a truism that marketing has become highly technology-intensive. A nearly ubiquitous component of any marketing technology portfolio is email marketing. In fact, there is a high probability your company is already using some form of it, even though you might not be aware of it. A related component is marketing automation. Customers often talk of these in the same breath. In this article, we will look at this distinction in some detail and also summarize what marketers should know when evaluating these technologies.
Marydee Ojala
Aug 19, 2003
If you ran the British Library, would you let the general public into your climate-controlled rare books area, allow them to finger the pages of priceless medieval manuscripts, encourage them to touch a 14th century Koran, Leonardo da Vinci's notebook, or the world's earliest dated printed book? Would you endanger the Sherborne Missal, a 15th century service book worth $24 million, by allowing people to turn its pages? Thanks to an innovative digitization project, appropriately called Turning the Pages (TTP), the Library plans to do just that.
From the word digitization, you've probably realized that patrons won't be physically walking into the Library's rare book area to turn these pages. However, you can visit the exhibition galleries in London at the Library's St. Pancras location to view the ten treasures digitized thus far—the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Diamond Sutra, the Sforza Hours, the Leonardo Notebook, the Golden Haggadah, the Luttrell Psalter, Elizabeth Blackwell's Herbal, Vesalius's Anatomy, the Sherborne Missal, and Sultan Baybars' Qur'an.
It's an interesting mixture of religion and science. According to Clive Izard, creative projects manager, there's been a conscious effort to expose the Library's collection to the broadest possible audience and the collection is particularly strong in manuscripts relating to world faith. He has a "wish list" of other titles to add to TTP, but these must wait for sponsorship money.
If you're interested in the science titles, you might want to visit the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, where you can turn the pages of Elizabeth Blackwell's Curious Herbal. Not nearly as ancient as some of the other Turning the Pages titles, Herbal is a collection of illustrations of medicinal plants published between 1737 and 1739. Also on view is Vesalius's Anatomy, a 16th century book of anatomical drawings.
While I've not been able to visit either St. Pancras or NLM to view these manuscripts, during the June 2003 Special Libraries Association's annual conference and exhibition 2003 in New York City, I visited the British Library's booth. The centerpiece was an enormous, three-foot wide, touchscreen showing the Lindisfarne Gospels. I put my hand up to the screen, touched the lower right hand corner of the page, and moved my hand to the left as I would when leafing through a printed book…and the page flopped over. I could turn pages backwards and forwards, marveling at the bright colors, the intricate calligraphy, and the incredible gold leaf.
Granted, I couldn't read a word of it; it's in Latin. Dating from the early 700s, this illuminated manuscript of the four gospels of the New Testament survived Viking raids on Britain, was written on vellum (parchment made from calfskin), and is now in an extremely fragile condition. The Library has selected 40 pages, from the total of 259, for digitization. What's even more remarkable, I now have a CD-ROM of The Sherborne Missal and can turn its pages while sitting at my computer. (The CD also includes the Qur'an.) I use my mouse to turn the pages, rather than my fingers, which keeps the smudgy fingerprints off my screen. It also takes a bit of getting used to (if you move the mouse too fast, the page starts to turn, then falls back to its original place). Other enhancements include a Zoom function that enlarges whatever portion of the manuscripts you mouse (or finger) over. Audio, depending on the book, lets you hear an explanation of the page you're viewing, music appropriate to the section, chanting (the Diamond Sutra), recitations recorded at a London mosque (the Qur'an), or even English bird songs (the Sherborne Missal). Izard notes the Library has added elements unique to each manuscript, such as a mirror button for da Vinci's notebooks.
This may not sound so revolutionary; digitization isn't all that new or unusual. What's different about this project is clarity of the reproduction and the technology that enables the pages to be turned. A combination of digital imaging and animation, created by Armadillo Systems, produces a remarkably realistic experience. The newest version of the software, TTP3D, will enable the Library to make its digital library of treasures available via the Internet. "TTP3D is more affordable and lets us put more pages onto the Internet," comments Izard. It also allows for the commercialization of the software. The British Library plans to digitize other collections as well—for a fee. Izard expects customers to be libraries and museums with important books they want to display, but can't for conservation reasons. Even he, however, admits that not all books warrant the TTP treatment. "We've digitized the Gutenberg Bible, but we haven't animated it. TTP3D works best with manuscripts that have intricate illumination. Text is not well-suited to animation."
The British Library, with its Turning the Pages project, has taken preservation, conservation, and ebooks to the next level.(www.armadillosystems.com; www.bl.uk)

Notre Dame faces possibility of long fall from BCS - 0 Comments
As alluring as the holiday season in New York City can be, it's not exactly what Notre Dame had in mind for a postseason destination.
The Fighting Irish (3-2), out of the rankings after last week's loss to Oklahoma, face No. 22 Arizona State on Saturday at the lavish stadium in Arlington, Texas, that the Dallas Cowboys call home.
It is part of Notre Dame's Shamrock Series, what Irish officials like to call "off-site games" that help the program maintain its national appeal.

Mark Vacker PhotographyRead MoreThe focus of Mark Vacker Photography is people. Whether it is a family portrait, a wedding, images of a baby, or a model at a studio session, I strive to find that unique look each person can deliver. Your look, your personality, and most of all, your emotions are important in creating unforgettable images.530 Palm BlvdWeston, FL US
SAO PhotoRead MorePhotographer Stephen A. Orsillo fuses classic and contemporary editorial styles to produce portraits that capture their subjects in both candid and artistically composed moments. Individuals, couples, or families score photographic immortality during a two-hour session at Stephen's Bonita Springs studio, an ideal setting for professional headshots, romantic engagement shoots, and evidence to show doubtful offspring that not all babies are cute.210 1st StreetBonita Springs, FL US
Smile America PortraitsRead MoreIn the last 40 years, Smile America Portraits' photographers have helped to memorialize special moments in the lives of thousands of children, teens, and adults across the country. By constantly working with families, they have mastered the art of calming toddlers and keeping parents still enough to say or even pasteurize cheese. Outdoor shoots make use of natural tones, such as those of crystal-blue lake waters and green, leafy trees. In the spring months, photos brim with the pastel buds of tulips and the shine of bluebirds applying makeup for the first time all year.1159 Causeway Rd.Sanibel, FL US
Creative Photo & Digital Imaging Ft MyersRead MoreCars line up at the drive-thru window, where instead of bags of burgers and fries, staffers hand over bundles of glossy personal photos. Inside Creative Photo & Digital Imaging, digital techs convert media such as VHS tapes, records, and reels to DVD and CD, while across the store, photo experts transfer snaps onto album prints, museum-grade canvas wraps, and gifts such as coffee mugs and puzzles. Heirloom family portraits, ravaged by rips and sun damage, doff their imperfections in the photo-restoration lab, and an onsite portrait studio captures clans as they update their sweater sets through the years. Creative Photo & Digital Imaging also hosts photography classes on subjects from how to take better pictures on camera phones to the intricacies of digital SLR cameras.8945 College PkwyFort Myers, FL US
Nautilus PhotographyRead MoreSince 1982, Nautilus Photography has been capturing the precious milestones and semi-precious inch-rocks of families, high-school seniors, and the newly engaged within its studio and surrounding gardens. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with sunlight to naturally accent patrons' pearly whites, dimpled cheeks, and enviable toucan beaks. During the one-hour session, up to seven customers (additional subjects will incur an additional charge), comprising a family or a new superhero group in need of promotional photos, can choose between several backdrops and amass a litany of props for swan-dives into piles of throw pillows and feather boas. Out on the sun-bleached blonde-wood deck, vases of hanging ivy speckle the white stucco walls stained with hints of aquamarine, and latticework awnings complete the playful integration of Floridian shoreline and English garden. Subjects can pose on a sand-colored cast-stone bridge overlooking sultry tropical foliage, or disappear into the vegetation to nail the "fleeing sasquatch" pose.1400 Colonial BlvdFort Myers, FL US
Alison Beyer PhotographyRead MoreEducated in fashion and portraiture photography, Alison Beyer approaches each session with an eye for capturing precious moments and details. Alison will take a minimum of 75 shots during the sitting while masterfully catching clients in their natural element, should that be midchuckle or midlevitation. After the session, an 11"x14" custom wall print will be provided, with the option of purchasing additional prints or a CD containing all the session's images ($250). All color photos will live online for 30 days after the shoot.3308 Antica StreetFort Myers, FL US
