Philippines, 2012, 110 Minute Running Time
Topics: Asian, Comedy, Gay/Lesbian, Seniors
Program: Awards Buzz : Best Foreign Language FilmLanguage: Tagalog, English English Sub-Titles
Awards: Winner: Asian Film Award, Tokyo International Film Festival; Audience Choice, Best Actor, Cinemalaya
One of the year's most charming surprises, this life-affirming comic drama stars veteran Filipino superstar Eddie Garcia as Rene, an elderly, hilariously cantankerous gay man who has only come out while in his 70s. Rene lives alone in the countryside with his faithful dog, Bwakaw. Instead of enjoying life and looking for love and companionship in the human world, he spends too much time thinking about death. In one of the film's running jokes he makes repeated changes to his will. Rather than enjoying his belongings, he keeps them boxed up and marked for those he intends to inherit them.
When Rene develops a friendship with Sol, a tough-looking tricycle taxi driver, he discovers a new zest for life. To the astonishment of his neighbors and former colleagues, he even gets his has hair dyed to look younger. Garcia, now in his 80s, delivers the performance of a lifetime. Not to be missed.
"Captivating… gracefully blends melodrama, broad and lower-key comedy, and honestly earned sentiment while making poignant observations about old age, emotional solitude, romantic longing and friendship." David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter.
Director Jun Robles expected to attend the January 9 and January 10 screenings

Here's a follow up to my column on eastern rock music and other great sounds I'm tuning into.
Saban Bajramovic
Check out 2007's NU-MED from Balkan Beat Box. The sound rings the Mediterranean in contemporary and traditional sounds. The release is on JDUB records - a not-for-profit production company for innovative Jewish music and cross-cultural dialogue.
There's Gogol Bordello's Super Taranta- Gypsy Punk dripping with classic Slavic sardonic sensibilities.
And I have to mention the legendary gypsy crooner Saban Bajramovic. His golden voice has smashed many a drinking glass. Upon hearing Saban, after a swig of strong plum brandy, many a passionate listener will cast their glass to the floor. It's like a reflex!

I read in another discussion that you can turn off your routers firewall temporarily and it will work. I did that. I turned off my apple tv (3rd gen) and then I turned off my routers firewall. Then I turned my apple tv back on and made sure the time setting was set to automatic. Then it let me set my iTunes login and everything was fine. I turned my firewall back on and it all works now. Try that. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, but it worked in my case.

Your suggestion worked for me. I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV and I was able to get past the time/date issue by temporarily disabling my router's firewall. Thank you very much!

Thanks for your support. I found myself in front the same problem. After close to 1 hour trying everything I decided to look for help in the Apple Support Community as official support says nothing about it. I have turned off my router`s firewall, restarted the Apple TV 2nd Gen and everything works properly now. At last, I switched on back the routers firewall. Thanks for your 5 stars support.

I am a bit ignorant on all this tech stuff but I don't think I'm using a router, just a modem. I've read through several of these responses and I still can't get my date and time to set and I'm getting thoroughly peeved at having to re-enter everything over and over just to get back to the same non-working issue I still have. Any other suggestions?

ANC Results of Note
Now that the dust has settled over at BOEE–all you teeth-gnashing overnight should have just gone to bed and waited for the morning, honestly!–let's look at some of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission races that have been relevant to Housing Complex's world (this isn't comprehensive–if I haven't mentioned a race, that doesn't mean it's not important).
In ANC 1A, Park View blogger Kent Boese is now a commissioner, while neither Jim Graham staffer Calvin Woodland nor Graham foe William Jordan ran for reelection.
In ANC 1B, Aaron Spencer topples ABRA committee chairman Peter Raia, who was moving out of the single member district anyway (new bars, look out for a new ANC contact). Raia foe Brianne Nadeau bows out.
In ANC 1C, Mindy Moretti, former Ward 1 Council candidates Bryan Weaver and Nancy Shia, library activist Chris Otten all gone.
In ANC 1D, chairman Gregg Edwards keeps his seat (defeating Mount Pleasant Main Streets' Phil Greiner) as does pal Jack McKay; D.C. bicycle ambassador Ben West, Laura Phelan, and Tommy Wells staffer China Terrell join the fun.
In the only contested race in ANC 2B, Ramon Estrada–scourge of noisy bars everywhere–fends off smart growth insurgent Sunit Talapatra.
In ANC 2C, Kevin Chapple cruises to victory over challenger Leroy Thorpe, which must be some consolation to Convention Center Community Association president Martin Moulton, who failed to take out Doris Brooks in her run for reelection against Rickey Williams (UPDATE, Thursday 6:45 a.m.: See Moulton's account of the event here.)
In ANC 3E, Greater Greater Washington and Ward 3 Vision favorite Tom Quinn beats Sally Greenberg.
In ANC 5C, Tim Clark squeaks out a win over Denise Wright, James Fournier ousts Barrie "The Commish" Daneker, and Jioni Palmer replaces Marshall Phillips. This ANC could see some change.
In ANC 6B, Kirsten Oldenburg survives a challenge from transparency crusader Larry Janezich, as does Neil Glick from Laura McSorley–by nine votes!–but another reformer, Brian Pate, defeats Ken Jarboe.
In ANC 6D, David "DG-Rad" Garber knocks off Robert Siegel, and chairman Ron McBee survives a challenge from Mary Williams.
In ANC 8E, Sandra Seegars had no challenger, but Kay Armstead–who has led Highland Dwellings residents in their resistance to the Housing Authority's relocation efforts–was defeated, 53 percent to 44 percent.

Nice light weight projector
This review is from: CASIO Green Slim XJ-A245V WXGA 1280x800 2500 Lumens DLP Projector Mercury Free Light Source w/ Wireless Adapter
Pros: Good color, lots of options, light weight so you can carry it around. No worry of light bulb go dark.
Cons: The fan is kind of loud.
Other Thoughts: Worth the price

This review is from: CASIO Green Slim XJ-A245V WXGA 1280x800 2500 Lumens DLP Projector Mercury Free Light Source w/ Wireless Adapter
Pros: Very Bright, very vivid and clear picture, lots of adjustments.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I used this projector for an art installation to project on rear projection 7D513 acrylic. The projector doesn't project any color when you have black areas, which is fantastic as there are no annoying borders around you video. I also oriented it sideways for two weeks, which is kind of an extreme use case, but it performed well. I was able to borrow it, so I didn't have to spend over $1,000 to use it. However, I think it would be well worth the money.

Armstrong could race in '09 Tour if he feels 'welcome'
Updated: October 21, 2008, 4:59 PM ETAssociated Press
PARIS -- Lance Armstrong could still race in the 2009 Tour de France, as long as race organizers make him feel welcome, Astana team director Johan Bruyneel said Tuesday.
"For the moment, we are going to determine his program based on where he is really welcome and invited ... and we will see about the rest," Bruyneel told The Associated Press. "So the main thing is that he is definitely not excluding riding in the Tour, but it would have to be in an atmosphere that is serene and respectful."

Led Zeppelin 8 CD ASSORTMENT includes BBC Sessions
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Entertainment
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: May 09, 2011
- Channel: Auction House
You are bidding on an 8 CD assortment from the band LED ZEPPELIN.Included are: LED ZEPPELIN LED ZEPPELIN II LED ZEPPELIN III LED ZEPPELIN IV HOUSES OF THE HOLY PHYSICAL GRAFFITI PRESENCE And BBC SESSIONS
There is no question that Led Zeppelin was one of the greatest studio bands ever. Every rock album made since 1969 owes a huge debt to the techniques Jimmy Page developed, especially his groundbreaking "guitar-as-orchestra" style of layering track upon track. But what is often forgotten is that for all of their studio tinkering, they could deliver a live performance as powerful and full of spontaneity as any "jam" band. CD ONE Disc one, recorded on four separate nights in 1969, shows a raw, blues-obsessed rock and roll band. The emphasis is clearly placed on creating a highly-charged improvisatory atmosphere. Recorded in 1971, just before the release of their seminal IV album, disc two captures a band exploring the limits of what they could create live without losing sight of their roots. The performances are more cerebral and introspective, with more attention paid to arrangements, though they still find the time to stretch out and jam, particularly during "Whole Lotta Love" and "Dazed And Confused." Recorded at two critical points in the band's career, THE BBC SESSIONS offers an important look at Led Zeppelin as they define and redefine themselves, and in the process, rock and roll. Disc 1
1. You Shook Me - (mono, top gear sessions)
2. I Can't Quit You Baby - (mono, top gear session)
3. Communication Breakdown (Tasty Pop Sundae Show) - (mono)
4. Dazed and Confused - (mono, top gear sessions)
5. Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair, The (Tasty Pop Sundae Show) - (mono)

Dear Liverpool.
Now i know it could place you at the top today but do us a favour.....dont play torres, you know we dont have a bloody striker under 30, a nice little 0-0 will do us fine.....after all do you really want spurs, citeh or fulham in europe next season.
After two seasons of shyte dont with deserve a little happiness.....
fingers crossed

thanks very much rancid.........if you dont get it this time, next time its a cert..........after chelsea and man u implode through personality wars...........as for us, it,ll do us a favour not to be in europe next season....too small a squad....too many injuries.....too many europa games.....i think mr hodgson is thinking the same, a bit of a poison chalice that one......i would rather we had a good season and tried to get in the top six.......
all the best rancid and all you reds

next season......next season

You got hammered...hehe! boomety boom
A Yahoo! User May 10, 2009 02:45 Flag
well that went well for us.........although we did show spirit................good luck liverpool
all the best
think arsenal will be a different proposition altogether simply because of that dangerous fecker arshavin who always seems to do something special on the big stage. looking at things for you boys you could quite easily be sitting in 7th on monday morning even if you lose today, then i`d say you really are in the driving seat for that european place
A Yahoo! User May 9, 2009 22:28 Flag
cant see that happening....you got gerrard and torres back in just in time for the run in........
arsenal could hold man u up, it depends on if its a narrow game or not........they have the players to keep ronaldo quiet and you know the guy sulks if it doesnt go his way..........
i have torres, skirtel, carragher in my fantasy league so i need some points somewhere......but not today eh.......
yeah i just noticed fulham 1 up, although roy hodgson has worked wonders with them, whats happened to villa?, they seem to have faded away badly. i reckon hull away could prove more difficult than spurs also it`s not beyond liverpool to drop points to wba aswell
A Yahoo! User May 9, 2009 22:16 Flag
yeah and fulham are one up against villa already so 7th may not be in the running for us..............
the man u v hull match may do you a favour...Hull may need it for survival.........wba one up against wigan.......
sweet fulham v villa 1-1...need a villa win...
hull away is their last game we got spurs at home. going back to my comment about masch and benayoun scoring today and the irony, imagine this scenario;- manure losing two games but then one r. keane scoring a winning goal at anfield, things have a way of coming back and biting you on the backside. now that would be more than ironic, although i cant think of a word to describe what that would be. ##';[;''l#[l;,.'[p-*&^£"£$^~@?
you`re right it aint over yet, manure could quite easily drop points in more than one game, if liverpool win all remainig fixtures manure losing 2 or drawing 3 of them 4 games then we could pinch it on goal difference, hand on heart i don`t see it happening, as i said before we live in hope. all the best.

The kennel, made from extra Hesko wall and cargo netting, provides Dharma relief from the harsh Afghanistan wind and heat.
TREK NAWA, Afghanistan – Many children beg their parents for a dog. The floppy ears and wagging tail seems to attract children to man's best friend. But many parents know that caring for a dog means a lot of responsibility, training and effort.

Proctorsville man faces charges after crashMay 09,2013Man charged after
Proctorsville crash
PROCTORSVILLE A local man was jailed Monday night after a single-vehicle crash on Route 103 near the intersection with Greven Road Extension, police said.
Vermont State Police arrested Caleb Palmer of Proctorsville after the crash. His 1998 Jeep Cherokee was destroyed.
Police said Palmer was not injured and that he was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, possessing cocaine, driving after his license was suspended and violating conditions of release.
He was held at the Springfield prison for lack of $2,500 bail.
Police said the crash was caused in part by Palmers intoxication.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

When I saw the headline saying French actress Vanessa Paradis is reportedly>"/>
No more waiting for Wednesday--now you can get a daily dose of Dategirl!
When I saw the headline saying French actress Vanessa Paradis is reportedly "too scared" to marry her long-time boyfriend, Johnny Depp, I rolled my eyes. That's like being afraid of having too much money or too many orgasms.
But when I actually read the article, Paradis comes off as way more pragmatic than panicked. She states, "There is something romantic about marriage and something scary about it. If you're happy without it, why bother?"
Okay, well that makes sense. Why is everyone so hell-bent on getting married?
Luckily most of my friends and family quit asking when I'm going to get married a long time ago (and have since graduated to pitying me behind my back). But V&J are famous, which means she--because they never ask the guy--has to hear a variation on that question nearly every time she's interviewed. Then she gives a sensible answer and it's twisted into her being terrified of marriage; when really, she just seems uninterested. She's been with the guy for 12 years and two kids--I know people who've been married and divorced and then married again in that time.
This may sound crazy, but if you're the marrying kind, you should get married during the first year of your relationship. Everyone knows that the first year is the most exciting. You don't really know the other person--which is equal parts fascinating and irritating. Your hormones are in a tizzy because you're having all kinds of sex all over the place. It's like being drunk, only on orgasms instead of booze. Therefore, this is exactly when you should get hitched: before the buzz begins to wear off and you start thinking about all the things you'd rather purchase instead of prime rib or chicken for 200 of your nearest and dearest.
Because once common sense comes into play, all bets are off. Instead of working your way through the Karma Sutra, you'll be arguing about seating charts and accommodating the lactose-intolerant vegan segment of the family. Nooners will be a thing of the past, because you'll be too busy fielding phone calls from irate third cousins wondering where their invites are and wondering if Aunt Patsy is going to get too deep into the gimlets and start flashing her handgun around like she did at your sister's wedding. And don't even get me started on the fact that in most states, gay couples don't even have the option of overspending on cheesy banquet halls and forcing their besties into acres of mauve taffeta. The more you think about marriage, the less there is to like, am I right?
But even with all that, I have to admit . . . if Johnny Depp asked . . . well, I'm only human. (Sorry, Vanessa!)

DELAFIELD, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
Three-Month Average Volume: 105,952
Volume % Change: 863% From a technical perspective, FUN bounced modestly higher here right above some near-term support at $42.67 and back above its 50-day moving average at $43.33 with monster upside volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of FUN within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if FUN manages to take out Wednesday's high of $44.20 to its 52-week high at $44.49 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in FUN as long as it's trending above Wednesday's low of $42.85 or above that recent low of $42.67 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 105,952 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then FUN will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $50 to $53.

Stories of impact
"Design doesn't end with the creation of a product. Design continues until that product scales for impact."
When people in rural India lose limbs to accidents or disease, they often can only afford low-quality, unstable prosthetics. D-Rev designs a high-quality prosthetic knee that addresses both the safety issues and the stigma associated with amputation.
D-Rev worked with the Jaipur Foot Clinic, which provides free limbs and crutches to people with disabilities, to gather extensive feedback from those in need of prosthetics. Digital prototyping, durability testing, and analysis ensures that the resulting ReMotion prosthetic knee is functional, high-quality, and affordable.
The ReMotion knee joint provides a 165-degree range of motion to enable kneeling, squatting, and biking. Durable, lightweight, and water-resistant, it works with all standard prosthetic leg systems, and retails for only $80.
The Jaipur Foot Clinic has fitted more than 5,100 ReMotion knees through a no-cost license, helping thousands of Indians walk with greater confidence, safety, and less stigma. D-Rev also partners with top-tier prosthetic providers worldwide with established distribution channels and local expertise to expand access to version 3 of the ReMotion knee.
D-Rev is a nonprofit product development company that identifies, designs, and delivers high-impact products to increase income or improve the health of people living on less than $4 per day.

"From the Gold Pan to the Fruit Bowl" Cromwell by DSwede
Cromwell Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 53 photos
Even though Cromwell's historic old town is no longer where it was in its heyday, its still a mirror into the past. When the water's raised after the Clyde Dam was built, the old "mall" was moved to higher ground.
But after the town blossomed during the gold boom, it as able to sustain itself when the gold dried out by becoming a central agricultural producer.
For more details of my time on the island, please feel free to visit my South Island page.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11" />The Super Bowl is - or should be - typically a family-friendly event: an annual occasion in which dad, mom, and the kids gather around their television set to see the top two NFL teams battle it out, enjoy an entertaining half-time show, and laugh at the ridiculous commercials. But as of late, the Super Bowl entertainment has been controversial, and this year is no exception.
Two naked women in a shower or a woman exposing her "enhanced" chest in front of the Congress? You choose!

That's right. This year, godaddy.com has asked people to vote on their website for which revealing ad of Indy racer Danica Patrick they would like aired on Super Bowl Sunday.

After the 2004 Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" controversy affectionately now known as "Nipplegate," many wonder why NBC would air such a commercial. But NBC apparently has some standards, as it has recently rejected the animal rights group PETA's sexy vegetable ad. An NBC spokesperson told the Washington Post that "the ad was rejected because it did not conform with our standards."

But those standards apparently are met by young men salivating over two women in a shower, or busty women exposing themselves in a courtroom.

Danica Patrick is arguably the most famous female race car driver, and her image is one of a sexy, determined woman who can play with the boys. Godaddy.com has decided to use her in an ad that features young men who, with the help of godaddy.com "can make anything happen" online, wish to see Patrick shower multiple times a day.

"Suddenly, I have the urge to take another shower... this is my fifth shower today." Patrick says while dropping her robe and stepping into a glass shower to wash her hair. The guys then decided to add Miss Schmidt, the "German woman from the dean's office," and viewers see a sexy blonde pop up in the shower with Patrick.

The second ad is a spoof on the Major League Baseball players who testified before Congress about steroid use. The ad features multiple sexy women who declare before a congressional committee that they have not "enhanced." Patrick then admits she has "enhanced" her image with godaddy.com. After Patrick's confession, a busty brunette exclaims, "I'll show you enhanced," and begins to strip what little clothing is on her breasts before the commercial abruptly ends.

GoDaddy.com, a website for internet users to purchase domain names, has been known to do some risqué advertising to get attention. Last year, an ad featuring Patrick was similarly rejected because of a double entendre involving beavers.

NBC nixes a controversial vegetable ad, but will allow the controversial GoDaddy.com ads to run. "Standards" aren't supposed to be selectively applied.

I've read through many of the related questions and am a bit unsure as to how to handle this situation.
The Basic Question: What is the best way to handle "foreign" (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic?, etc.) characters in a website?
I get that I need to use UTF-8 encoding but the mechanics behind it are lost on me.
I am using tornado as my framework and am storing the data in redis.
My current implementation is to simply store the English keyboard equivalent in the data store and then rendering on a page with the appropriate Hebrew/Greek font (e.g. Bwhebb.ttf). This has worked, for the most part, but I am bumping up against some characters which are being CGI encoded which, in turn, causes the font method to break.

April 29, 2016
By: Joe Hellriegel
The Old Clyattville Road Bridge was in flames Saturday afternoon (December 28, 2013) after a tractor trailer struck the pillar, causing damage to the bridge.
"The damage that occurred does not effect the structure of the bridge," says Nita Birmingham of the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Birmingham says the damage is cosmetic but is still in need of repair.
Officials say a timetable has not yet been set to make repairs to the bridge, but it is still safe to drive over.
"At this point, repairs have not been scheduled because it is unclear whether the Georgia Department of Transportation will do the repair or if it will be contracted out," Birmingham continues.
The pillar, smoke damage, and the surrounding areas to the road were damaged, but none of it is in need of immediate assistance.
"As far as the discoloration of the bridge from the fire, that will be part of the bridge repair; it didn't cause any damage that will affect the safety or the structural integrity of the bridge," says Birmingham.

- diffusion tensor spectroscopy
Diffusion tensor spectroscopy of metabolites in brain is challenging because of their lower diffusivity (i.e. less signal attenuation for a given b value) and much poorer signal-to-noise ratio relative to water. Although diffusion tensor acquisition protocols have been studied in detail for water, they have not been evaluated systematically for the measurement of the fractional anisotropy of metabolites such as N-acetylaspartate, creatine and choline in the white and gray matter of human brain. Diffusion tensor spectroscopy was performed in vivo with variable maximal b values (1815 or 5018 s/mm2). Experiments were also performed on simulated spectra and isotropic alcohol phantoms of various diffusivities, ranging from approximately 0.54 × 10−3 to 0.13 × 10−3 mm2/s, to assess the sensitivity of diffusion tensor spectroscopic parameters to low diffusivity, noise and b value. The low maximum b value of 1815 s/mm2 yielded elevated fractional anisotropy (0.53–0.60) of N-acetylaspartate in cortical gray matter relative to the more isotropic value (0.25–0.30) obtained with a higher b value of 5018 s/mm2; in contrast, the fractional anisotropy of white matter was consistently anisotropic with the different maximal b values (i.e. 0.43–0.54 for b = 1815 s/mm2 and 0.47–0.51 for b = 5018 s/mm2). Simulations, phantoms and in vivo data indicate that greater signal attenuation, to a degree, is desirable for the accurate quantification of diffusion-weighted spectra for slowly diffusing metabolites.

2013 Cubs AZ Instructional League Roster
10/2 UPDATE: LHP Rob Zastryzny (Cubs 2013 2nd round draft pick) has been added to the Cubs AZ Instructional League roster.
9/19 UPDATE: Carrie Muskat posted the updated 2013 Cubs AZ Instructional League roster yesterday at MLBBlogs Network, and that roster shows that RHP C. J. Edwards and OF Kevin Encarnacion have been deleted from last week's AZIL preliminary roster, and 16-year old OF Eloy Jimenez (the top-rated international prospect from 2013) has been added.
Here is the preliminary 2013 Cubs Arizona Instructional League (AZIL) roster (subject to change):
* bats or throws left
# bats both
Jose Arias
Paul Blackburn
Johermyn Chavez (ex-OF)
Trevor Clifton
C. J. Edwards

* Sam Wilson
NOTES: A former Seattle Mariners Top 10 Prospect as an outfielder and an outfielder throughout his pro career coming into the 2013 season, 24-year old 6'3 220 Johermyn Chavez was signed as a six-year minor league FA by the Cubs last off-season, got an NRI to Spring Training, and played RF at AA Tennessee through May 9th (hitting just 206/306/270 in 24 SL games) before going to Mesa (Fitch Park) and being converted to a RHP. He saw some game action for the AZL Cubs in August, and he will be a 6YFA again post-2013 if he does not re-sign with the Cubs... 23-year old RHP Juan Carlos Paniagua ($1.5M bonus in 2012) got a late start due to visa problems and then strugled at both Kane County and Boise... 24-year old RHP Jose Rosario struggled at KC in 2013, and since he will be a minor league FA (6YFA) post-2014, he really needs to get past low-"A" in 2014... 6'7 19-year old Dominican RHP Jefferson Mejia was signed by the Cubs in July ($850K bonus) and made his pro debut with the DSL Cubs (3 G - 9.0 IP) in August... 18-year old RHP Jen-Ho Tseng was rated by Baseball America as the #6 international pitching prospect in 2013 (and the #1 international prospect in Taiwan) prior to signing with the Cubs in August ("Signed for Future Service" - 2014 contract - $1.625M bonus) and he will be making his pro debut at Instructs...

# Wilfredo Petit
Will Remillard
NOTES: Jordan Hankins played 2B in college (Austin Peay) but his position was announced as "catcher" when the Cubs drafted him in the 11th round this past June. However, he played only 3B-2B-1B at AZL Cubs and Boise... Wiill Remillard was drafted by the Cubs out of Coastal Carolina U. in June (he was Josh Conway's catcher in college) and signed in July, but he did not play in the AZL due to a back injury, so he will be making his pro debut at Instructs... Alberto Mineo was signed as a 16-year old out of Italy in 2010 ($225K bonus), but he has yet to advance past rookie ball (AZL)... Although he was signed ($1.6M bonus) as a catcher as a 16-year old in July 2011, switch-hitting Mark Malave was moved to 3B when he made his pro debut at Instructs two years ago. (BTW, same thing happened with Willson Contreras, who was signed by the Cubs as a catcher in 2009, was immediately moved to 3B, and then was moved back to catcher after the 2011 season)...
Gioskar Amaya (2B)
# Jeimer Candelario (3B)
# Frandy de la Rosa (SS-2B)
Kelvin Freeman (1B)
Jesse Hodges (3B)
* Danny Lockhart (2B-SS-3B)
Carlos Penalver (SS)
Gleyber Torres (SS)
NOTES: 16-year old Venezuelan SS Gleyber Torres was rated by Baseball America as the #2 International prospect this season. The Cubs signed him ("Signed for Future Service" - 2014 contract - $1.7M bonus) in July and he will be making his pro debut at Instructs... 17-year old switch-hitting Dominican SS-2B Frandy de la Rosa ($700K bonus in 2012) made his pro debut at Extended Spring Training in Mesa, but then spent the 2013 regular season with the DSL Cubs...

NOTES: One of the fastest players in the organization, Rashad Crawford gave-up switch-hitting in Extended Spring Training and is now hitting exclusively LH to take greater advantage of his speed... Trey Martin underwent surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder in May and just started taking BP at Fitch Park a couple of weeks ago... Toolsy & athletic Jose Dore was acquired from SD during Spring Training and played 1B-2B-3B-LF-CF-RF at Extended Spring Training, so while he is listed as an outfielder, he can play just about anywhere in the INF or OF... Baseball America's top-rated 2013 international prospect (16-year old Dominican OF Eloy Jimenez) was signed by the Cubs in August ("Signed for Future Service" - 2014 contract - $2.8M bonus), and he is presently scheduled to make his pro debut at Dominican Academy Instructs in October and (probably) his U. S. debut at either Minor League Camp or Extended Spring Training in Mesa in 2014...
In addition, pitchers Dallas Beeler, Matt Loosen, Armando Rivero, and Arodys Vizcaino, infielders Javier Baez and Kris Bryant, and outfielders Albert Almora and Jorge Soler will likely spend a few days with the AZIL squad at Fitch Park before they report to the Mesa Solar Sox (AFL) a half-mile up the street at HoHoKam Park.

given that 2014 most likely
given that 2014 most likely (and sanely) doesn't involve r.cano...can we get someone playing 2nd not named d.barney who might be a better option for 600 PA there going forward?
i really don't want to repeat this for a 4th season...i don't care how much money he makes (or doesn't make)...it's getting a bit old.
donnie murphy's 2 starts didn't look bad...but it seems they want to mainly use him at 3rd. his power is most likely an illusion (especially at the rate he's going), but if he can play good 2nd and pop 30 doubles + 15-20 HR while hitting .250/.330 avg/ob% it's worlds better than sitting through more d.barney...who's already hitting 8th in the lineup anyway (when he's not hitting 2nd for some reason). d.barney does 2 things...flash the glove and not K...not much else going on there...doesn't hit, doesn't walk...hasn't had an ob% of .300 or more since 2011 (.313).
20 games...2 starting at 2nd.
20 games...2 starting at 2nd...6 where he was doing more than just being a pinch hitter...28 total PA, 30.1 innings in the field.
he's been up since Aug 4th and i don't really know what he's doing...maybe a lot of being coached pre-game or something.
I mean, when Barney's putting
I mean, when Barney's putting up a monster second half of .193/.270/.260...you can't really sit him?
Stop channeling the real
Stop channeling the real Dusty!
unpossible...there is only 1
unpossible...there is only 1 dusty and only he does dusty things.
the 600-ish PA per season you've seen out of d.barney the past 2 years and all the hitting in the 2 slot he's done is an illusion.
1100 PA of d.barney over 2 years is still way better than 400 PA of j.macias over 2 years...that's blindingly obvious and not up for discussion. macias's 49 PA in the 2 slot over 2 years might as well have been all 400. rage!
fwiw, dusty leads the NL (and probably MLB since there's no pitchers in the AL) in sac bunts this year...lulz...don mattingly #2.

i can't even imagine who would be playing 1st for the cubs if rizzo wasn't around...
it sucked to lose cashner, but it was a trade both clubs could afford to make. rarely does it make sense for a club to trade a #2-#3 quality SP for a 1st baseman, but this is one of those rare cases. vogelbomb might make for a good 1st option one day, but that day doesn't seem to be on the table until 2016 as it is. cubs needed power a bit more than they needed SP and SD needed SP a bit more than they needed a power 1st baseman.

I can't see them dealing for one of our starters again anytime soon. I guess pitching for the Cubs with no pressure is a little different than a pennant race in that little Texas matchbox.

wash has 0 patience with him...whereas we're used to garza having a bad string of hits/walks in a row and letting him pitch around/through it...usually with good results...garza is getting the quick hook for the pen as soon as he has a bad streak.
i'm sure a lot has to do with the pressure of being in a numbers game for a playoff spot. garza's replacement immediately gave up a 2r double, but he locked down the last 2 outs (along with a walk in between them).

either the gun is off or w.peralta is having a hell of a night with his arm.
he's throwing a lot of 96-98mph rather than his usual 94-96mph mix. he's hit 99mph a couple of times.

RE: The Punto GIF http://i
"It happens," Jackson said after he disagreed over Sveum's decision to pull him for a pinch hitter in the top of the fifth inning with the Cubs trailing the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 with a runner at second base. "I was caught off guard a bit. But that's the nature of the game. He's the manager. He can make the calls when he needs to."
"I don't have a problem with (Sveum)," Jackson said. "I'm sure he don't have a problem with me. It's something that happened. But it's not really a big deal. It might be made to be a bigger deal than it is.
I remember early in the
I remember early in the season Jackson was in a bit of trouble early in the game and it looked like he was looking towards the bullpen and then towards the dugout like he was saying, "HELP! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!" but that of course may have just been my imagination. If the arg was just him wanting the ball, I'm sure Sveum is cool with it.

Here is an "Ask BA" article
Here is an "Ask BA" article with some commentary regarding Eloy Jimenez and Gleyber Torres by Ben Badler...
The two international prospects the Cubs signed this year who should make their (the Cubs) Top 30 are Dominican outfielder Eloy Jimenez and Venezuelan shortstop Gleyber Torres. There wasn't a clear-cut No. 1 prospect on the international market this year, but Jimenez and Torres were either at or near the top of the boards for several teams, and we ranked them as the top two international prospects available for July 2. Neither one of them should be Top 10 prospects in that organization, but they should both fit comfortably in the 11-30 range.
All of the players who become eligible to sign for the first time on July 2 are signing 2014 contracts, so they will make their pro debuts next season. Domincan righthander Jefferson Mejia signed when he was 18, so he was able to make a pair of starts this season in the Dominican Summer League. Jimenez and Torres are advanced enough that they should skip the DSL and head straight to the Rookie-level Arizona League next year.

On Sveum vs. Girardi
On Sveum vs. Girardi
I sort of agree with Jacos on how Sveum knows how it all works now. I was pretty sure I wanted to see him go early in the season, and I'm still not thrilled with the progress of Castro and Rizzo, but I'm not sure Girardi brings anything to the table that Sveum doesn't. They both will make in game managing decisions that piss people off, it's what managers do. And the Cubs, for a team with such a lousy record, has not been an automatic win for teams. They've been in most of the games they've played this year, at least by the box score, although it's fair to say that their hitting has been so bad sometimes that the weren't in many 2-0 type games. I agree with crunch, too. Fire the batting coach. He's worthless.
On the other hand, if they do fire Sveum? Yawn. Get some players on this roster, and let's end the Darwin Barney Gold Glove Experiment.

Imagine if Lester would just pitch nine innings every start.
Now that's funny coming from the board martyr.
You made a comment about Lester not pitching deep enough into games, Rob and others dispute it, and then it devolves into more of you acting like you're being unfairly singled out.
Classic Crunch.
"Therefore, the Cubs have not had ONE pitcher in the last five years that is a TOR starter waiting in the wings ..."
It's a little scary, especially when you look over at the Mets, the one team around the league that worries me, maybe because I have clear recollections of 1969.
Actually, the only Cub draftee since 2012 when McLeod and the new FO took over the draft who has thrown a pitch in the majors is Zack Godley. So it's not just TOR starters that we're not seeing.
We've got a David-Goliath type situation tonight, but you never know. In matchups like this, I always remember that Sergio Mitre v. Roy Halladay game the Cubs won at home several years ago.
I am going tonight, so I am not ok with that.
But, maybe Hendrix will give his patented solid 5 before Richard or Wood comes in...
One can hope.
if you save the lumber from your constant trips to the cross you can build your very own safe space to view my posts.
@billybucks you speak the truth and it's precisely what me and others have been saying for over a year. It's an unfortunate hitch in his game, one that seems correctable, but so far has not been corrected. Also a hitch that is going over 3 seasons now and no one has been able to truly exploit in any meaningful way (except sort of the Royals in that Wild Card game although they stole plenty of bases off the other pitchers in that game and the rest of the playoff teams the rest of that run).
AZBOBBOP: Nothing new on Oscar de la Cruz. Still shut down with elbow issues.
I nominate Sean Rodriguez.
who's this guy being all reasonable and stuff?
pick someone on the board who's literally worse than hitler and start screaming about it. cubs 2016!
It's not pathetic -- it's what we've been waiting for!
Yikes -- I was off the site for a short while and it blew up.
Gentlemen -- it is apparent that Lester has a weakness in his game. Everybody knows about it. He has, apparently, tried to work on it, but without success. Fortunately, he is talented enough that he is able to largely overcome his shortcoming.
I am amazed that other teams don't try to bunt on him, but, as has been said, bunting is not a skill many players have.
Interesting that Hendricks is going tomorrow -- so, he wasn't really "skipped", just moved back a few days so Jake and Lester could deal against the Pirates. I'm OK with that.
PHIL: Thanks for your updates.
One thing that we are seeing come to bear is that Theo's obvious strategy has been to stockpile young, power arms in the lower levels while owning bats that are much nearer to MLB ready - then, buying the arms the org needs in order to be highly competitive.
It's fun to watch the cards shit the bed anytime of the year
I really thought he would be the one getting the call-up. This must be a favor to the player from Theo.

Too Personal?
TOO PERSONAL?....The CNN folks are saying that all the snap polls show Obama the winner of tonight's debate. There's nothing too surprising about that, but I'd sure like to know why. I've heard all this stuff so many times before that it's almost impossible for me to have a genuine reaction to either guy, so I can only guess what average viewers were reacting to. Best guess is that they thought McCain was too snarky and took a few too many personal shots. That's not presidential.
UPDATE: For the record, CNN's poll has Obama winning 51%-38%. CBS has Obama winning 39%-25%.
