Snowballing from discussions concerning Josh Hamilton, Jeff Conine, Norris Hopper and Chris Denorfia, I'm curious to see where the RedsZone faithful view the worth of Chris Denorfia to the Reds.

Last edited by Highlifeman21; 02-28-2007 at 10:36 AM. Reason: wrong jersey number, apparently
I went with 2nd overall as Denorfia is our best defensive option, and that helps close the gap that might exist offensively between him and Griffey.
Dunn is clearly the best option.
Chris Denorfia will be the starting outfielder at least three times a week.
One thing about Freel is the more you play him, the more he wears down. His performance in August and September showed that. Freel is at his best when he starts about three games a week. His reckless abandon in the field catches up to him and needs occasional rest.
And speaking of rest, you figure either Denorfia or Freel will spell Griffey a day or two each week. So Denorfia will get his playing time unless he flops in spring training and the Reds are forced to use Hamilton more than they like.
If you think small, you'll go nowhere in life.
He's jersey #27 this season, or so I've heard. Just saying....
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
If it were up to me, he'd be the everyday CF and have until the All-Star break to prove himself. Given Jr.'s consistent injury problems (not his fault, but he's guaranteed to miss at least 30 games) I picked Denorfia for #2 overall.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
That's hard to answer. Do we count Conine as an OF? I'm assuming we are Freel after the reports I see. The thing is he might be 6th, but say Scott H and Phillips were injured then Conine goes to 1st and Freel to 2nd and then he would move up dramatically. Then Griffey goes down and he's playing daily. I think he gets a fair shake, but if he has options he may not even make the squad. A lot depends on Hamilton which I am very curious to see. If he can play defense and has some speed his power and the fact he has to make the team may tie the Reds hands. Gonig to be fun!
I just saw the poll results. 3rd! I don't believe he is. I have in this order right now.
Deno - yes, I'm the guy who has him sixth.
I'm going by interviews I've seen with Narron and the fact I think Hamilton gets a shot with Deno havng options. Just my thoughts. I may be wrong, but I'm trying to be honest.

And This One Belongs to the REDS!!!
I don't see putting him ahead of Dunn, Griffey or Freel. To me he's a solid #4 right now. I also see Conine primarily as a 1B as opposed to an outfielder, so I don't have the same concern as others that Conine being on the roster means Denorfia is off it.
Adam Dunn - LF
Chris Denorfia - CF/RF
Ken Griffey Jr - RF/CF
Ryan Freel - Everywhere
Josh Hamilton - Everywhere
Jeff Conine - Corners. only behind Hamilton becuase I have no faith in either to hit much, but Hamilton I give the defensive edge by far.
I agree with you that the list you have there is where Narron and the FO have rated Denorfia.
On my team, I'd start him everyday in CF, at least until the middle of June, and give him a chance. He's earned it, and he's the best defensive OF we have. If he doesn't produce by mid-June, fine, move him on.
I ranked him 3rd, ahead of Freel. On my Reds team (if I'm the GM), Freel is a 3-4 day a week player, not a starter. So I'd rank him 4th, with Dunn and Junior first and 2nd.
For a team that has preached defense non stop in the offseason, the apparent demotion of Denorfia, at least by the FO in the press, is puzzling at best.
Deno should start in center. Hamilton has done nothing in his pro career to be placed ahead of Deno. Griffey needs to settle into RF or his future spot, first base.
However, Denorfia has pretty much done everything right for this organization in his career. At 26, he deserves a full and fair shot to be the starting CFer.
Even if it takes Hamilton all season to get up-to-speed in hitting major league pitching, in my view he can still contribute in important ways--as a defensive replacement for Dunn and Griffey, as a pinch-runner, etc. It's not like not having that 7th awful relief pitcher or 3rd hopeless catcher is going to kill the Reds' chances.
If anyone should go, it's Conine, who chances are will be completely worthless this year.
Number 3, I guess loyalty keeps JR in 2nd for me, but Deno is certainly 100% better then the rest at this point
Go Gators!
Whoops, I misread the question, I was rating him as a CF'er. Overall, yeah I'd rate him #3 like Krono, still have to stay loyal to Jr. and Dunn is clearly more "valuable" overall. As far as CF options go, however, he's my #1.

1994 Mercedes-Benz S420 Q&A
1994 Mercedes-Benz S420 Question: white smoke out tail pipe
it smoke when in park or stop at a light - Visitor
Answer 1
This is normally an indicator that water is burning in the engine, and is most often from a blown head gasket. Here is some info: http://repairpal.com/head-gasket-replacement - Bret Bodas
Answer 2
The most accurate way to test for a blown head gasket on a gasoline engine is to test for the presence of carbon monoxide in the cooling system. Snap-On, Matco (part # CO 2000), and Napa sell a tool to check to carry out this test. Another link to a supplier of this tool is http://www.etoolcart.com/combustion-leak-detector-lis75500.aspx. Carbon Monoxide is only present if there is a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. http://www.arrowheadradiator.com/head_gasket_or_combustion_leak_test.htm I think the napa part number 700-1006. http://www.blockchek.com/instructions.htm . Signs of a blown head gasket are coolant loss (frequently have to top up the coolant level of the engine without seeing an obvious leak), experiencing over heating or rough engine running or the presence of white sweet smelling steam from the exhaust. A badly blown head gasket may allow engine coolant and oil to mix. - patrick mannion

There is now a happiness equation
By LMarkman on August 08, 2014
Whenever I used to ask my mother what she wanted for a birthday or Christmas, she would always answer the same thing: "Nothing." If pressed, she would tell me that all she wanted was for us to be happy.
It's the sort of non-answer that a lot of Moms give. Yes, parents want their children to be happy, although we have to realize that we aren't responsible for their happiness. But how do you teach happiness or even know what is going to cause it?
Researchers at the University London College have been studying happiness, and they've actually created a formula that accurately predicts people's happiness levels. I can't replicate the formula here, but you can see it in the article by Time magazine.
Despite my best attempts at becoming a math genius, I need all those numbers translated into English for me. The basics of the findings report that to be happier, we need to lower our expectations (which sounds a lot like the marriage advice study) and that if we have positive expectations for an event, that those expectations will increase our eventual happiness level.
Fantastic. We've cracked the code. How do we teach that to our children? I, for one, am not about to crush my son's dreams of flying a flame car that shoots out candy to everyone by telling him to lower his expectations. So, here's what I am doing instead:
- Vocalize happiness before and during activities. We play games as a family. And there is a little smack talk involved about who will win or lose, but there are also a lot of smiles as we play together. I just need to throw in a few, "I can't waits" and "This is so fun" while I lose at Uno.
- Ask questions. I am going to start to ask my son more about what he likes to do and what makes him happy.
- Be careful about building things up. In my search for finding adventures in the everyday moments, sometimes I get my son too excited. Like the time that we took him to the passport office and he had to engage with government employees that fit their negative stereotypes perfectly.
But happiness is bigger than my immediate family. I may have to reach out to my Mom (fair warning, Mom) and ask her what makes her happy. And my coworkers. And my friends.
What about you? What makes you happy? Tell me in the comments.

Ceiling Mount Outdoor
2 question(s) from the community have been answered.
|Can these be surface mounted to a recessed junction box in the ceiling?
|The Hinkley Lighting Kube 1 Light Outdoor Ceiling Lantern 1763SW can be surface mounted to junction box that is flush mounted inside the ceiling, But there is no information available if this fixture can be mounted to a junction box that is recessed in the ceiling. It would depend how far inside the ceiling the junction box is recessed since the mounting screws may not be able to reach the mounting plate and junction box.
|Can these be mounted on a vertical wall to shine downwards?
|No, since the Hinkley Lighting Kube 1 Light Outdoor Ceiling Lantern 1763SW is a down light ceiling fixture, if you mount it on a vertical wall the light will shine outwards from the wall. But there is an identical matching wall lantern, the 1766SW which is a downlight.

Exercise plays an important role in the management of both insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM). Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, strengthens the heart and circulatory system, thus reducing the chance of heart disease and stroke. It helps decrease blood cholesterol and increases the levels of the "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood. Exercise lowers blood glucose levels, both during exercise and for several hours afterward. Walking is probably the best, safest and least expensive form of exercise.

Neuropathic foot ulcers are the most common precursor of lower–extremity amputation in patients with diabetes.1 In the podiatry literature, as well as other wound care literature, the total contact cast (TCC) has long been considered the gold standard for treating non-infected, neuropathic foot ulcerations.2 The TCC heals wounds by reducing weightbearing pressure and shear force to the plantar aspect of the foot. The unique well-molded, minimally-padded construct of the cast allows it to maintain "total contact" with the foot and lower leg. Clinical results overwh ... continue reading

Wound healing progresses through a series of processes, which include the formation of granulation tissue, epithelialization and connective tissue remodeling. These events require continuous modification of the complex cellular support matrix. This matrix is comprised of: structural proteins (collagen and elastin); specialized "anchoring" proteins (fibronectin, laminin and fibrillin); and proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate, heparin, dermatan sulfate and keratan sulfate.

ok so no one replied to it in the technical dvd-rom forum, so i'm moving it here. delete it if u want mods.
360dvd drives works, or what the capabilities of the SATA connection are. But, i have an idea.
Ok. so from what i know, in order to access the firmware M$ has to send an electronic message through the sata connection, and it has to be the right order of high and low pins in order to tell the drive it wants a firmware dump, right? Now, since we have basically complete access to the firmware, we should be able to figure out which pin set (which pins go high and low) in order to dump the firmware (the request and the actual process). So...wouldn't it be possible, to have an extra chip or two: one with the original firmware written on it, or at least a place to store it, and one to check for the correct pin settings from teh sata connection? This way, if you put this (just with like an extended sata connector with some extra wires out of it, and a breadboard to mount the chips obviously) i think somebody could program the extra chip (not storing the firmware) to detect when a dump is requested, and then just send out the original firmware. This way the xtreme firmware would be untouched, and you could not only stay on live but keep the firmware w/o M$ interference....
its just an idea mind you.
also, with this extra sata connection in there would it be theoretically possible to put a sata->usb adapter in there, and extend it to either replace one of the m$ usb ports, or case mod it so there's an extra one, so that you could now easily access the firmware (for dumps and for updates) without constantly taking apart your xbox?

Not a bad idea but it's not as easy a looking for pins. What you have to look for is a series of SATA commands sent to do the dump. This mod can probably be done for very little $$$$. What if MSFT does not care about the firmware and just flashes a new firmware without even looking? Then the games can check for the new firmware before running. I guess even that can be faked. If the system detects SATA flash upload then it can store that in its eeprom and then when the system requests a SATA firmware dump it can send the one that got uploaded. This will cost a bit more $$ but probably no more than $50 or so.

I only speak from the heart. Obviously this means our hearts are one.
And yeah-- while I'm not terribly into high-level MMO play or terminology, I DO appreciate a manageable challenge, especially with friends. It makes your victories sweeter. I really dig, for example, having to dodge Ifrit's attacks by not standing where, you know, death is about to spurt from. It demands a little more awareness than your average WoWMMO.

VIEWS: 52 PAGES: 29 POSTED ON: 8/7/2012 Public Domain
Early Tetrapods & Modern Amphibians Chapter 25 I. Movement Onto Land • Amphibians are vertebrate transition to land; other organisms like plants, gastropods, and arthropods made transition earlier • Since organisms made mostly of water, dangerous transition • Also had to adapt to different oxygen content, density, temperature regulation, and habitat diversity II. Evolution of Terrestrial Vertebrates • A. Devonian Origin • Mild temperatures, and periods of flooding or droughts creating unstable sources of freshwater • Fish with lungs were better able to survive • Early fish fossils that could crawl along mud with "walking fins:" Eusthenopteron, Acanthostega, and Ichthyostega. • Land adaptations include: skull, teeth, stronger pectoral and pelvic girdles, jointed limbs, stronger backbone, muscles to support body in air and elevate head, more protective rib cage, ear structure, and longer snout • Many fossils have more than 5 digits B. Carboniferous Radiation • Uniformly warm and wet • Tetrapods radiated in swampy, fern areas eating insects, larvae, and invertebrates • Temnospondyls form lineage from which modern amphibians are derived; they have 4 digits on forelimbs • Became better adapted to aquatic life; bodies flattened, some like salamanders developed weaker limbs and stronger tails, and frogs developed webbing on hind limbs for better swimming III. Modern Amphibians (Class Amphibia) • A. Diversity • Over 4200 species • Ears redesigned • Remain tied to water since eggs are laid in water and larvae have gills • Thin skin loses moisture rapidly restricting them to moist habitats • Ectothermic which also restricts habitat and range B. Caecilians: Order Gymnophiona • 160 species live in tropical rainforests of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia • Elongate, limbless, and burrowing • Some larvae develop in folds of body and in others develop in oviduct, eating it for nourishment C. Salamanders: Order Caudata • 1. Characteristics • 360 species living in northern temperate areas • Most are small, under 15 cm, but Japanese giant salamander is 1.5 m long • Limbs are at right angles of body, with fore and hind limbs of equal length • Burrowing and some aquatic species have lost limbs • Carnivorous, eating high fat and protein foods so do not store much fat or glycogen Salamanders 2. Breeding Behavior • Fertilize eggs internally • Terrestrial species deposit egg clusters under logs or in soft earth; eggs hatch out to mini adults • Most salamanders lay strings of eggs in water; larvae hatch with gills, and then may turn into terrestrial or aquatic adults • Newts have "red eft" stage with a terrestrial juvenile, that then turns into aquatic, breeding adult • Some newts stay entirely aquatic 3. Respiration • Thin skin easily exchanges gases; also use mouth cavity • At various stages may also have gills, lungs, both gills and lungs, or neither • If lungs are used, they are present from birth, but only become functional following metamorphosis; hold nostrils above water to breathe • Larvae hatch with gills, and lose them following metamorphosis, along with fin-like tail; if a lineage does not undergo metamorphosis, it retains these characteristics • Those in terrestrial family Plethodontidae have no lungs and use only skin • Preservation of larval 4. Paedomorphosis features into adulthood • Trend found in salamanders • Some never metamorphose, like the mudpuppy • Others typically may not, but can change if conditions change (typically in dry conditions) • Another example is Ambystoma tigrinum, which stays in an axolotyl stage; can metamorphose if treated with thyroid hormone • Some have partial paedomorphsis, retaining larval characteristics but switching to lungs D. Frogs and Toads: Order Anura • 1. Characteristics • 3450 species • Evolved during Jurassic Period, 150 mya • All have tailed larval stage but are tailless as adults; none retain larval characteristics as adults • 21 families • Family Ranidae, larger frogs of North America • Family Hylidae, tree frogs • Family Bufonidae, toads 2. Habitat and Distribution • 260 species of genus Rana found in temperate and tropical areas • Frogs and toads are found in damp forested floors, although in tropical rainforests may live entire life in 1 tree • Swamps, ponds, streams • Frogs and toads are declining worldwide and becoming patchy in distribution; cause is unknown 3. Life Cycle • Solitary except during breeding season • Spend breeding season swimming around in water • During winter, burrow into mud to hibernate, using energy from stored fat and glycogen • Also accumulate glucose and glycerol in tissues to create an "antifreeze" to prevent tissues from forming ice crystals • Easy prey; protects themselves by concealment, poison glands, and aggression 4. Integument and Coloration • Thin, moist, and attached to body in several points • Epidermis contains keratin; this is thicker in more terrestrial ones • Inner dermal layer has mucous glands, which secrete waterproofing agents, and serous glands, which secrete poisons • Dendrobatid frogs from South America secrete highly toxic poisons • Chromatophores are pigment cells that produce skin color • Xanthophores are upper pigments with yellow, orange, and red • Iridophores are middle layer with silvery light-reflecting pigment that gives iridescent quality • Melanophores are deepest layer with brown or black melanin • Green color is produced by interactions among all of these pigments • Frogs can adjust color to camouflage themselves Skin Pigmentation 5. Skeletal and Muscular Systems • Well developed endoskeleton of bone and cartilage with changes to allow for jumping and swimming • Front of skull is light weight and flattened • Limbs have 3 joints: hip, knee, ankle • Foot has 5 rays on hind limb, and 4 on front limb; digits jointed 6. Respiration • Use skin, mouth, and lungs with skin being critical during hibernation • CO2 is mainly lost across skin whereas O2 is mainly absorbed through lungs • The movement of air into lungs is somewhat passive, depending on movement of throat 7. Vocalization • As air enters and leaves lungs, passes over vocal cords, on way to vocal sacs • Both males and females have vocal cords but males have a more developed larynx • Songs are unique and characteristic of the species http://www.naturesound.com/frogs/frogs.html • 6th aortic arch present in gills 8. Circulation was converted into pulmonary artery to lungs • Frog heart has 2 atria and 1 single ventricle • Blood from body enters right atrium and blood from lungs enters left atrium; both deoxygenated and oxygenated blood mix in ventricle • Valves do control blood though so mainly deoxygenated blood goes to lungs and oxygenated goes to body 9. Feeding and Digestion • Carnivorous • Catch prey with tongue that is hinged at front of mouth • Free end is glandular with sticky secretions that cause prey to adhere • Teeth are used to hold prey, not to chew or bite • Digestive tract produces enzymes to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats • Tadpoles are herbivorous and have longer tracts to digest plant material 10. Nervous System and Senses • a. Brain • Consists of 3 parts: forebrain (sense of smell), midbrain (vision), and hindbrain (hearing and balance) • Forebrain has cerebrum, but not really used. Olfactory lobe most important part • Midbrain has optic lobe • Hindbrain has anterior cerebellum (not used) and posterior medulla which controls auditory reflexes, respiration, swallowing, and circulatory system • Dominant sense in many b. Vision amphibians (except caecilians) • Eyelids keep eyes moist, protected, and free of dust; upper is fixed and lower has clear nictitating membrane • Cornea and lens bend light to focus image on retina, with both rods and cones for color vision • Iris changes to adjust to different light levels • At rest, frog focuses on distant objects c. Other Senses • Pressure sensitive lateral line is only found in larvae and aquatic adults • Ear is sensitive to airborne sounds; tympanic membrane passes vibrations to structure similar to cochlea • Chemical receptors in skin, on tongue, and in nasal cavity 11. Reproduction and Development • a. Egg • In spring, males migrate to same pond or stream and call females • This is dependent on temperature, humidity, and hormonal changes • Male clasps female in water and as she releases eggs, male discharges sperm over them • Eggs usually laid in masses • Eggs absorb water and swell; development begins immediately • Tadpoles hatch in 6-9 days Frog Life Cycle b. Tadpoles • Tadpole has horny jaws for grazing and a ventral adhesive disc for clinging to objects • 3 pairs of external gills develop into internal gills covered by flap on right side fused to body wall and a spiracle on left side • Water flows through mouth, over gills, and out spiracle c. Metamorphosis • Hind legs appear first; forelimbs are temporarily hidden by operculum • Tail is resorbed • Intestine becomes shorter • Mouth transforms into adult version • Lungs develop and gills resorbed Metamorphosis

Indulge your passion for history
Whatever your niche interest, there's a specialised Masters option to allow you to nurture your love for all things British
Thursday 14 June 2012
One benefit of studying contemporary British history is getting to rub shoulders with the subjects of your research. "I was able to put questions first hand to top politicians and mandarins," says British history postgraduate Michelle Clement, who wrote her dissertation on the formation of the current coalition government. "Their insight was invaluable."
During her studies, Clement and her peers have had the opportunity to hear the likes of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, his press secretary Alastair Campbell and Labour's Ed Balls at Queen Mary University of London's history group.
Clement, who graduated with distinction, was already on home turf before she even came to university. By the time she'd finished school, she had already worked at the Department for Education and Skills and in Westminster for her local MP. "I have always felt understanding politics is crucial and believe that it should be part of the curriculum, as the majority of the population don't understand the institutions that shape the way we live," she says.
Like many students inspired to pursue British history beyond undergraduate level, Clement discovered her own "turning point" and source of inspiration during her first degree in history and politics at Queen Mary. "I took a course which brought contemporary British politics to life. We met so many influential figures." Clement was spurred on to win sought-after funding to take a Masters in 20th century British history, also at Queen Mary. She was one of a handful of students funded by the university's respected Mile End Group (MEG), a forum for political debate sponsored by Hewlett-Packard. Political heavyweights such as Michael Heseltine, Denis Healey and Sir John Major have given talks and Clement now works for the group and the university itself. "As one of six children from a half-Glaswegian, half-Pakistani family, it would have been difficult for me to fund an MA without [MEG's] financial support," she says.
From the fallout of Indian independence to the miners' strike, British history features widely in both generic and specialist history postgraduate degrees. While some institutions offer specialist courses, others provide options within a broader framework. Academics recommend going where your interest takes you. The beauty of studying history at this level is that you have the chance to follow your personal passions and seek out inspirational experts in your field while developing generic research skills. Oxford and Cambridge both host large numbers of history postgraduates and Russell Group universities have expanded their departments in line with rising numbers of postgraduates.
"Even in a globalised world, national histories still have their place and Britain's claim to historical significance is clear," says James Ellison, programme director of the Masters in modern and contemporary British history at Queen Mary. Britain, he points out, was the world's first modern democracy, the first industrial nation and, until the superpower age, the greatest modern empire, and continues to punch above its weight in world politics. This year, the study of New Labour, the US-UK relationship and the Iraq war and representations of the First and Second World Wars in Britain have proved popular with postgraduates. Next academic year students will also be able to study "modern girls" – a look at gender, culture and society from 1918 to 1979.
Funding for history study at postgraduate level, however, is notoriously hard to come by. Nonetheless, the number of history postgraduates remains relatively stable at just 1.5 per cent of the total postgraduates in the UK, with a higher bias towards doctoral research than other subjects. Although some academics bemoan the way it's taught in schools, British history remains a core subject at leading universities and draws some of the brightest students from home and abroad.
While in the US, it's not unheard of for academics to illustrate British culture by showing episodes of The Office, postgraduates at UK universities are more likely to come across primary source material such as minutes from the previous government's cabinet meetings, or the recently released and sometimes panicked messages from diplomats overseeing the end of the British Empire during the 1960s.
"The beauty of an MA is that you can respond to the zeitgeist and be responsive in what you offer," says Professor Miri Rubin, medieval historian at Queen Mary and former director of graduate studies. Applicants for postgraduate study must already have in mind a research proposal to pursue at dissertation she says. While most courses demand a 2:1 or higher in a relevant degree, history departments will admit the likes of scientists, economists and even retired bankers who can prove interest and ability.
A decade or so ago, history postgraduates might have gone straight into research, but today terminal Masters are more common – reflecting demand from greater numbers of graduates seeking an extra qualification to stand out from the crowd, says Professor Peter Mandler, vice-president of the Royal Historical Society and professor of modern cultural history at Cambridge. And students tend to tailor their own courses from a range of options, often interdisciplinary, to suit their interests. "Postgraduates prefer courses which don't have a narrow focus," he says.
From think tanks to policy makers, corporations and the media, employers value the skills and perspective historians acquire at university. But postgraduate study also inculcates an ability "to think big", says Mandler. "It gives a real advantage in the labour market. It allows you to look at something genuinely new, winkle out information from unpromising places, follow your interest, touch on qualitative and quantitative research and tell stories using speculation and imagination. All these skills are widely sought after in the knowledge economy."
Where to study british history
MAs in British history usually require a 2:1 first degree or greater. While the following are specialist Masters courses, many universities offer specialised British themes within generic Masters degrees.
British History, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne: The history of the British Isles, options to study from 800AD to present, plus training in the methodologies and concepts that are used by historians.
Modern British History, University of Manchester: Compulsory unit "Revising the history of modern Britain" plus variety of options from British history in the 18th century to the present, plus research training.
Modern British History, University of East Anglia: A mix of political, international and imperial history. Offers a specialisation in diplomatic history and claims to have the largest concentration of such historians in the UK. UEA offers some funding from the Arts & Humanities Research Council.
British First World War Studies, University of Birmingham: Focusing on the challenges posed by the war to the British state, army and society.
Modern History, Durham University: Options include social and cultural history of early modern England, social and labour history of North-East England since 1870, British politics and government since 1820

The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
If you can promise me he's going to stay healthy, he's worth it (best ERA in first 1,000 innings of his career for any starting pitcher since the deadball era) but you can't promise me he won't get hurt, so he's not worth the risk.
". . . acquiring J. Blanton from Oakland for, apparently, Bailey/Cueto, Votto and a lesser prospect. I do it in a second . . . The Reds' equation this year is simple: Make Matt Belisle your #3 starter . . . trade for Blanton, win 85 or more, be in the mix all summer." - Paul Daugherty, Feb. 8, 2008
I wonder if both the Dodgers and Kershaw have the opportunity to opt out....
Even if the Dodger can't... I still can't complain that this is an awful contract given the market that they can leverage.
A more realistic future is:
The biggest question is whether the farm can produce a bench and a bullpen on the cheap, because those $2-5M/year role-player contracts add up.

All I will say is that is a lot of money to pay someone that will only play in about 35 games a year. You just wonder how much higher these salaries can go?
Reds Fan Since 1971

LA is paying a premium for that extra bump of production that any superstar provides, but it's not like every pitcher will get even close to this money. A guy like Bailey is no. where. near. Kershaw's level. Nowhere. There is extra money floating around, and LA is the dumbest with it, for sure, but I'm not pessimistic the Reds will land Latos or Bailey. I'm sure it will happen.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I think Latos and Bailey both get 16+ per year, no doubt, and one will get it from the Reds. Latos is more likely to get 20+ than Bailey as he's had a way better career so far. As will most deals, the most important years will be 1, 2 and 3 (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) then I wouldn't expect much from either pitcher because both have thrown a ton of innings. So has Kershaw. We'll see.
That is a whole lot of money. Wow.
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
I think if any pitcher is worth that much money Kershaw is.
Homer's 2013 wasn't half of what Kershaw did.. it was more like 90%.
And if he improves in 2014, he's going to be very, very wealthy.

Hello Janet I'm doing an essay over your artwork and i was wondering what do you consider your art to be? I mean it is definitely unique but how would you describe it, or under what genre would you put it? I apologize if it seems too dull but i just want to know. I'm an art history student who has never had an interest in art but yours certainly gives me a feeling of awe. Not to mention how do you perceive your art to be revolutionary, taking into account the unique techniques you have implemented in your sculptures..

We recently had the chance to see just how well this newest Range Rover Evoque drives when the road turns snowy, muddy and rocky in this Colorado Mountain off-road review
2012 Range Rover Sport vs Evoque Colorado snow-worthy Mashup Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Range Rover Sport and RR Evoque are some of the most off-road worthy cars you can buy. But which one is better in the snow? Or to be even more specific, which one is better in three feet of newly fallen Colorado powder. We decided to find out in this snow-worthy review by driving both Range Rovers to Gold Hill, Colorado up Lick Skillet Road. Lick Skillet Road is one of the steepest country roads in America, and when it snows three feet the road not only gets slick but also very slippery. So which one of these two British cars is the best in the snow. The old establish Range Rover or the up stark newbie Evoque. Check out this video review to find out.
Top 5 small off-road worthy Crossovers reviewed
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) Wikipedia says, "a crossover is a vehicle built on a car platform and combining, in highly variable degrees, features of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with features from a passenger vehicle, especially those of a station wagon or hatchback." We simply like to say that the crossover is the new family truckster. Here are the Top 5 off-road worthy crossovers that we've driven in 2011.

The best of the series.,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Darker After Midnight (Midnight Breed Book 10) (Kindle Edition)
Just finished this book and WOW!!What a fantastic story ,exciting,thrilling and by far the best of the series.I just knew Sterling Chase was going to give us a captivating story.The woman for Chase had to be more than beutiful,more than a breedmate and in Tavia Fairchild we have that woman.
There is so much going on in this book,every chapter brings us something new.Other reviewers have given an outline of the book so i won't add to it.You have to read it for yourselves.If you're a fan of The Midnight Breed books then be in no doubt you HAVE TO READ THIS.We are even introduced to another race much older than The Breed,who are they?I'm sure we'll see more of them in future books.This is not the end but the beginning.

I visited St. Georges Park Health Club and Spa with a friend for the Comfort and Harmony treatment.
The venue is excellent, all facilities were very well maintained, our light lunch was just right, and my back massage by therapist Lucy was spot on - I asked for a firm massage, and that's exactly what I got !
My friend said her facial was wonderful and relaxing too, with around 8 different products being used.
We both received a foot massage prior to our treatments which was unexpected, and we were given herbal tea afterwards.
The light lunch we received was lovely - a wrap with side salad, and a choux bun for dessert. There was tea, coffee, juice and fresh & dried fruit freely available to us too.
Every member of staff I encountered was friendly, welcoming and helpful, from my initial telephone booking through to our visit - I'll be visiting again, as often as I possibly can !!!
One minor thing to note - we visited on a Wednesday morning, when a water babies class takes place at one end of the swimming pool. We weren't planning on swimming lengths anyway so it didn't really bother us, but bear this in mind if you intend to swim - although there's plenty of other things to fill your time anyway !
Visited with a friend for a spa day with afternoon tea. After relaxing in the hot tubs, sauna and steam room, we each received a complimentary foot treatment, then an express facial and a wonderful back, neck and shoulder massage. There was plenty of complimentary soft drinks available, and a lovely relaxation room with comfy loungers. After our time in the spa, we made our way back into the bar area of the hotel, where we were served a wonderful afternoon tea by very attentive waiting staff. If you have chance, take a walk around the grounds and say hello to the beautiful peacocks.
To sum up, it's a lovely location with excellent staff - I intend to visit again soon !
Lovely venue, with friendly pleasant staff. The therapist asked how firm I would like her to be during my massage, and adjusted her techniques to suit. I would not hesitate to visit here again, as it was excellent value and the massage was spot-on.
A friend and I had booked the Lushly Polynesian Hand Ritual Manicures. On the day we visited, the weather wa awful, it had been snowing heavily. We were greeted at reception, and asked whether we would like a hot drink before we had our manicures. We were then taken through into a small room where we sat side by side to have our nails done. The hand ritual was lovely, with a hand scrub, massage and moisturising treatment, along with a full manicure including OPI polish which was expertly applied and lasted for at least a week. Would not hesitate to visit again !
I wanted to book for the day after purchase, so I checked with the venue before making purchase to ensure they had availability. They could accomodate us, but I was told that to make bookings using Wahanda vouchers, I would have to ring the central booking line. I made our purchases via Wahanda, then called to book in. Was on hold in a queue with 9 people ahead of me, then was given the option to get a call back, so I took that option. I was called back around 30 minutes later, and was able to make bookings for the next day.
Upon arrival at Bannatynes, we filled in health forms, then were taken through to the changing areas by a member of the spa staff, and also shown where the spa area was. We spent some times in the pool , sauna and steam rooms before heading to the spa area for our treatments. We were offered the option of separate treatment rooms or the dual room, and we opted for the latter. The therapists were professional, and the back and scalp massages were very relaxing. We were offered tea and coffee after our treatments before leaving.
My only criticism would be that the spa area is located upstairs, away from the pool changing areas, meaning that if you choose to make use of the pool facilities, you have to wander around the corridor and stairs in your dressing gown.
A nice relaxing day - we arrived early, and made use of the pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and heated loungers before our treatments,
Jemma was happy to fit me in for a gel manicure at very short notice, and I was extremely pleased with the results, which lasted for a full two weeks. I'm returning next week to have my nails done again.
Tried to call venue today to enquire about making an appointment before I purchased, but phone number was disconnected. Visited venue to find it had been vacated. Don't book as you'll have to get a refund from Wahanda !
Natalie (the salon owner) was very helpful and friendly - she had to ring Wahanda to check something, then she rang me straight back and was able to fit me in for a Deluxe Pedicure the same afternoon.
The treatment itself was lovely, and I left with my feet feeling wonderful and my toenails a lovely shade of Turquoise.
I will be visiting again for a manicure next time :-)
