Return to Fitch Fountain
Pitchers & catchers and a number of position players have reported to Cubs Spring Training Camp at Fitch Park in Mesa.
So far the pitchers are just throwing bullpen sessions (each pitcher usually throws off a mound every-other day) and participating in PFP drills (Pitchers Fielding Practice), while the position players who have reported are taking batting pratice (with coaches throwing soft-toss BP) and taking infield practice or tracking fly balls in the outfield.
The pitchers will start throwing "live" BP to the hitters next week.
Among the position players who hit today, Geovany Soto put on the best power display, crushing a number of dingers onto Center Street. And NRI 3B Josh Vitters (Cubs 2007 #1 draft pick) also had an impressive BP session, mashing balls all over the place. Vitters will likely begin the 2011 season back at AA Tennessee.
INF Darwin Barney added some muscle to his frame during the off-season, and looks like he could perhaps provide a bit more power than he has displayed so far in his pro career.
Fernando Perez (acquired from Tampa Bay in the Matt Garza deal) is back to switch-hitting again (at least he was today), after batting exclusively right-handed last year while recovering from a broken left wrist suffered in Spring Training 2009. The speedy 27-year old Perez hit a paltry 223/280/299 at AAA Durham in 2010 (career 234/301/351 in 41 MLB games 2008-09), but he is a good defensive outfielder with a plus-arm, and he can play all three OF positions. He will be battling Reed Johnson, Lou Montanez, Brad Snyder, and Jim Adduci for a back-up OF spot. And Perez does have one minor league option left, in case he fails to win a big league job in Spring Training.

Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Phil, I noticed a picture of Barney looking Nomaresque from some other blog linked in two articles below - did you notice him hitting the ball any farther?
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Cool thanks. Let's hope Barney's improvement shows against real pitching. It's not like he has Joe Morgan and Billy Doran blocking him at second.

Cubs Acquire Robert Coello
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [February 15 at 4:18pm CST]
The Cubs acquired Robert Coello from the Red Sox for minor league infielder Tony Thomas, the teams announced. The Red Sox designated Coello for assignment last week and moved closer to a deal this afternoon.
Coello led Red Sox minor leaguers with 130 strikeouts last year, before pitching in the Dominican Winter League and the Mexican Pacific League. He spent last season in the upper minors, where he posted a 3.86 ERA with 10.9 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 107 1/3 innings as a starter and reliever. The Red Sox called the 26-year-old up for a six-game stint in the majors at the end of the season. The Reds drafted Coello as a catcher in 2004 and the Angels converted him to a pitcher before the 2007 season.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Looks like a trade of a couple of decent prospects. I was starting to like T. Thomas.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I think the Cubs did well here. Coello is a top 15 Red Sox prospect and has posted WHIPs of 1.08 and 1.17 the last two full years as he's moved up their system since converting to pitcher. Nice middle relief prospect, can always use one of those.
Thomas OTOH, it seems hard to get excited about him for a meaningful ML future. He doesn't hit for high average, he has poor plate discipline, those two negatives aren't offset by his decent power pop. He has just enough speed to try running the bases, but like Theriot, he's not very successful at doing it. Add in uninspired defense, and I don't see how he makes the big leagues.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Thomas was 15 out of 17 in SBs at Tennessee last season, so his brain must have recovered.
Not sure why you suggest that second base doesn't require athleticism. It strikes me as one of the skilled positions--less so than shortstop, obviously, but I have trouble imagining Aramis playing second.
Thomas had an OPS last season of .823, which would put him third behind M. Smith and B. Jackson among Cub prospects who are still in the organization and under the age of 28 (i.e., excluding Guyer/Chirinos/Snyder/LaHair). With the same exclusions, Thomas's SLG of .485 is better than Jackson's, and third behind Smith and Castillo. (Burgess's SLG on two teams was .465.)
Of course, Thomas is no longer with the organization, either. They're certainly taking a run at our talent!
If Thomas doesn't project as a major-league 2B, he's Eric Patterson and he won't have a career. But if he can play second, I think he's legit. He's a better mix of power and speed than the two frontrunners for second on the Cubs right now.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Thomas was 15 out of 17 in SBs at Tennessee last season, so his brain must have recovered.
You do know that base-running is more than just SB's, right?
which would put him third behind M. Smith and B. Jackson among Cub prospects who are still in the organization and under the age of 28
And since when do you care about the age of a prospect?
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
"Since when do you care about the age of a prospect?"
When it's convenient.
Regarding Snyder and LaHair, the Cubs have indicated recently that they don't consider them real prospects by releasing Snyder in the offseason and by not rewarding LaHair with a September callup after a 25-HR, .942 OPS season at Iowa.

Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Trib says Jackson hit a bomb at Fitch Park onto the street that cracked the windshield of a passing car--driver stopped, asked to see "the person in charge" and demanded payment for damages. Lulz....
Question for Phil--what are the dimensions at Fitch, are these homers onto the street moon shots or just a function of a tiny ballpark?
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Jackson hit the hardest ball I saw in ST last spring, knocking one high off the CF wall in HoHoKam that may have still been climbing when it connected. He's got the ability to really hit some monster shots.
Re: so that's why the Cards made him their starting SS
"Uribe's best position is third base, but the Dodgers signed him to primarily play second. Still, he's likely a big improvement there over Ryan Theriot, who played second for the Dodgers the final two months of last season and at times appeared to have the mobility of an anvil."
Tony Jackson, ESPN Los Angeles
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
The problem here is not Tony Jackson. The Cub fan lens distorts shitty players. It makes them look passable. Still, Uribe over Theriot? ...that hurts.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Phil in you opinion how serious are the Cubs putting him at first base?
Platoon this year? (Who is Cubs back up at 1b?)
Starter 2011?
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
"I strongly suspect that Geovany Soto could end up playing some 1B on days he's not catching,"
What is this based on? While it is a good idea, I can't say I have heard from any other source.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Has Soto even taken grounders?

Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Dewitt, the Cards owner, said during the press conference that they didn't run out of time to sign Pujols, they just couldn't reach agreement. The GM Mozeliak said they made him 1 offer just after January 1st. Dewitt said there was a little talk about if they could modify the offer to get it done, but they never changed the offer. Someone this morning leaked the Cards offer was between $19-23 million per year, I don't know how long. MLB Network and ESPN both reported those numbers, which if true wouldn't put Pujols in the top 5 in yearly salary, which, despite my despising him, that's insane. That's less than Ryan Howard, and Pujols is a far better player.
I still would be very weary of making a 8-10 year offer to him, or any player, period, especially if it takes then into their late 30's/early 40's.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I heard Cards offered 8/200 on ESPN.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I've switched to MLB Network, but when I had ESPN on they had a ticker running across the bottom saying the offer was $19-23 mil per year. Then they had someone in studio say that wouldn't put him in the top 5 in yearly salaries.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I wonder if he just doesn't want to play for St Louis anymore. $200 million is a lot of money -- what difference does 20 million or even $50 million more make when you're talking about that kind of money? What's he gonna do? Buy the Dominican Republic?
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I would bet that he'd take that contract.
The thing is that Pujols has already given the Cardinals a great deal for the first 11 years of his career, so he feels like he should be paid at least close to market value. Eight years for $220 would get it done for sure.
I think the Cardinals are in for a rude awakening if they think Pujols is going to go on the open market and get less than 8/$200.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Bruce Levine said "his Cardinal office source" said they offered 10/240
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Would you want the Cubs to offer Pooholes 10/240? 8/200 for that matter? I would be hesitant.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Hmm...how about 5 years, 28 million?
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Pujols isn't going to sign for 8/200, but yeah, I would want the Cubs to offer him that.
Last year, if he made $25 million, he'd be a bargain. That's how good he has been.
The Cubs and other teams will have the luxury of having one more season of information to look at regardign signing him, though.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
That one extra year could sting the signing club as well if Pujols goes crazy and drops 10 WAR or something like that.
Anyway, I think he gets 10/280 or more. I'd love to Cubs to sign him at that.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
If he has a 10 WAR... well, part of his WAR scores are from the UZR, so you should probably throw that bit out. But if he has a 10 WAR season, it's not like he's going to command $350 million contract. He could go down from 10 years $300 million, but I don't see him getting more than that, no matter what he does this year.

Marlon Byrd not 'afraid' of Victor Conte
Byrd said Wednesday he was the one who first contacted Conte after Byrd noticed many of the nutritional store supplements he was taking were showing up on baseball's banned substance list.
"Instead of me being dumb and just trying different things, I wanted to reach out to somebody so I didn't test positive," Byrd said.
"It took him about a year just to trust me. He didn't want to be associated with anyone that might get him in trouble."
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
Byrd noticed many of the nutritional store supplements **he was taking** were showing up on baseball's banned substance list.
This is a tacit admission that he was violating MLB doping rules!! He just never tested positive.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I am not sure what the rules state, but often there is some quantity (i.e. well above the body's natural level) bar for doping restrictions.
In biking, I think that too many red blood cells is actually tested for.
Re: Return to Fitch Fountain
I'd like to see Smith beat out Jeff Baker for a roster spot. In order to do that, he would have to show some proficiency at second base, since Ramirez may not go on the DL for a few months.
I note that Smith has played 32 games at second in his three full seasons in the minors, including nine last year. It's not a lot, but Baker never played second at any level as a pro until 2008, when he started 47 games there for the Rockies. (Barmes was the regular.) Baker must have learned the position in ST.
Anyway, Phil, if you see Smith working out at second, please let us know!
Recent comments
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....

[Will I?] Wilson smiled at Volca as he was envelpoed in the Flamethrower. The flames stung, but Wilson's body fat made the heat a little easier for him to tolerate. The Swinub knew what he was supposed to do next, he could figure it out just as if he were reading Maxwell's thoughts. His trainer didn't even need to issue the command. Suddenly a loud growl was heard from within the flames, soundwaves heading straight for Volca shot out and extinguished the by now relatively weak flames. It was the move Roar... Wilson just stood on the ground, he was sweating, panting and his fur was blackened and pointed in almost all directions. But the Swinub was still smiling, and so was his trainer.
In the meantime, Slackey had peeked his head out relatively sleepy, all the ruckus had surprisingly managed to wake him up. However, his eyes grew big at the sight of Pala. Oh. My. Arceus. It was the cutest little baby he had ever seen! (And trust me, Slackey had seen some cute babies in his days.) The cute face, her little black nose, the snot hanging from said nose... She was just sooo adoreable! Slackey crawled out of Maxwell's hood and landed on the ground with a thud, he started to move quickly towards Pala, but he was stopped just as quickly by Quillie.
[Oh no, where do you think you're going?] he asked and placed himself on top of Slackey,
[I'm going to that baby!] the sloth-pokemon answered.
[Oh yeah? That seems kinda creepy, just going up to the baby and snuggle it.] Quillie teased,
[Shut up, it's what I always do!] Slackey responded.
[Well not this time you ain't!] Quillie smiled and fell asleep on the Slakoth.

Nailer: I find it laughable that the first thing from the DNC and Hillary was that Russia hacked the emails systems. So now because Trump said he hopes Russia could come up with the 30000 mails that Hillary deleted every Democrat is up in fake arms because they want to take the spot light off of their bigoted emails where they were plotting against Bernie. Never mind that it was Hillary's irresponsibility with classified information that opened the door for her emails to be hacked but somehow she now says what Trump said was a nation security issue? LOL! Where do they find these people? We hear the Dems say Trump is dangerous while their base runs the street rioting, shooting police officers, running guns into Mexico, overthrowing governments all over the Mideast, and then openly blaming Russia for hacking the DNC, importing folks who want to kill us but yet Trump and our kind are dangerous? Look at the mass shooters and you will find Democrat on their voters registration. They are #$%$ crooks.

Fish Eggs: Superior Vitamin D BoostHealthy Living
Are fish eggs, also referred to as fish roe, a better choice than Vitamin D drops?
Vitamin D is surely the darling of supplements at the moment. More and more exciting news keeps coming out about this Wonder Vitamin and its beneficial effects in reducing the chances of many kinds of cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders. The research is simply too groundbreaking to ignore.
I wrote a couple of posts last year about how the seasonal flu is really just Vitamin D deficiency disease and why I take a fermented cod liver oil supplement every day even when I get good doses of midday Florida sunshine. I find the role of Vitamin D in the body and its ability to preserve health and reduce inflammation of all kinds very exciting.
Even conventional doctors are jumping on the bandwagon and more frequently testing their patients' Vitamin D levels and recommending supplementation as most Americans have levels way too low to reap any Vitamin D health benefits. By some estimates, over 90% of Americans are deficient in this critical nutrient.
While I think the enthusiasm over Vitamin D is wonderful, I personally do not feel comfortable with the casual way that high dose Vitamin D supplements are being recommended by healthcare professionals and eagerly consumed by an ever expanding public at large.
In some ways, it seems almost like Vitamin D has become just another drug!
Taking a single vitamin or nutrient in isolation is a practice that should be used with caution especially with Vitamin D which is fat soluble and can result in blood levels that are toxic.
For this reason, the Weston A. Price Foundation, with which I am in complete agreement, recommends a daily cod liver oil supplement. A whole food source like cod liver oil supplies not only Vitamin D, but also Vitamin A and other nutritional cofactors which work synergistically to prevent toxicity (not all brands are created equal, though, so click here to find good ones to try).
But wait!
What if your Vitamin D blood levels are so low that you can't take enough cod liver oil each day to bring them up very quickly?
What if you live in a climate where getting a decent dose of midday UVB sunshine to produce Vitamin D via the skin is not an option for a substantial portion of the year?
Clearly, taking more than a teaspoon or two of cod liver oil each day to try and boost Vitamin D levels is not the answer in these situations. Too much cod liver oil each day results in consuming too many omega 3 fatty acids. Too many omega 3 fats is just as bad as too little as both scenarios result in inflammatory conditions in the body.
In those instances, then, larger doses of Vitamin D are obviously required in addition to the daily dose of cod liver oil.
However, there is a better and safer way to increase your Vitamin D blood levels quickly without those potentially dangerous high dose Vitamin D drops and pills!
Fish Eggs: Traditional Sacred Food to the Rescue
Fish eggs, also known as fish roe, were highly prized by the natives of South America who would sometimes travel hundreds of miles from their mountain villages down to the sea to procure it in dried form. This superfood was then provided to women of childbearing age to ensure healthy and robust babies and children.
The Eskimos also consumed fish roe from a number of fish species, particularly salmon. Fish eggs were dried for consumption during winter months and for special feeding to pregnant women.
It is no wonder fish roe was so highly prized by isolated natives. According to an analysis carried out by the Weston A. Price Foundation, a single tablespoon of fish roe contains approximately 17,000 international units of vitamin D! In addition, fish roe contains vitamins A, K2, zinc, iodine, and the brain supporting omega 3 fatty acid DHA in ample amounts.
One tablespoon of fish eggs, then, supplies a similar amount of Vitamin D as a midday dose of Vitamin D on the skin!
Vitamin A and particularly Vitamin K2 work synergistically with Vitamin D to prevent toxicity and overcalcification of the soft tissues, bones, heart, and/or kidneys, hallmark symptoms of Vitamin D overdose.
Given this information, doesn't it seem much more wise to use fish eggs as that big Vitamin D boost rather than potentially dangerous and untested Vitamin D drops and pills?
The truth is that no one really knows what the long term effects of taking large doses of Vitamin D in isolation will be. Do you really want to be a guinea pig or do you want to use the safe and effective Vitamin D boost that the Eskimos and traditional mountain dwelling tribes of South America used when sunlight was not a readily available option?
Where to Get Fish Eggs?
I buy small glass jars of salmon roe at Fresh Market or higher end grocery stores for as little as ten to fifteen dollars. Make sure you find roe without any preservatives or colors added. The only ingredients should be fish roe, salt, and water.
If you can find a fresh or dried source of caviar, so much the better!
I love my salmon roe right off the spoon. I eat 1/4 – 1/2 tsp in the morning with breakfast a few times a week. They are so salty and delightful. If you aren't sure you like it at first, try it a few more times as fish roe can sometimes be a bit of an acquired taste.
If you simply can't get used to fish eggs off the spoon, try some topped on whole grain crackers with some creme fraiche.
In my mind, fish eggs are a much superior – and delicious method for quickly raising and maintaining optimal Vitamin D levels.
What is your favorite way to eat fish roe? Do you like it off the spoon like I do?

The 'more information' link doesn't work. Could you please provide a link to the source for this information? Thanks.
Did the author ever give her source for the Vitamin D Content of Fish roe? I can find no sources that give these high numbers, or really any numbers at all, except the WAP foundation, and they have no sources for their numbers either. The only thing that I could find was the nutrition facts for a fish roe product that gives the vitamin d content as zero!
So, could you please cite your source for your Vitamin D numbers? I fear you are misleading people with numbers pulled from thin air since several people have asked for your source and you have yet to provide it.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Yes, it was sourced at the end and was based on testing by the Weston A. Price Foundation.
Where is the source? I don't see it in your blog post. There is just a link to another one of your blog posts. Does the WAPF have copies of the independent lab reports that they could post?
Not sure if this went through the first time as the comment disappeared, but you say that the source for your claim of 17,000 per tablespoon is at the bottom of the post, but it's not. Three other posters have asked you for the source, and you still keep answering the questions of others, but are not answering the question of your source for 17,000.
In fact, one poster took you at your word and she said that using fish roe for her vitamin D has a 'catastrophic' effect on her Vitamin D levels.
So, are you going to post a source or change your info? Or will you continue to allow others to follow possibly incorrect advice and possibly harm their health?
I'm posting 2 sources that contradict these numbers.
This site says there is no Vitamin D.
Here's a peer reviewed study citing about 100 per tablespoon:
Another poster below posted a source that contradicts the 17,000 per tablespoon and has it at 68 IU's per tablespoon. It's here:
So can you please provide the source since you've been asked multiple times, so that others are not harmed by this incorrect info? That's what responsible journalism is about.
Thank you.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I posted the source within the article. The figure is according to a recent WAPF-funded analysis by UBE Laboratories, fish eggs contain 17,000 IU vitamin D per tablespoon! – See more at: http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/sacred-foods-for-exceptionally-healthy-babies-and-parents-too/#sthash.ck2raepv.dpuf

Wondering how to prepare/store fish eggs that you harvested yourself? My partner does a lot of fishing locally (I live in Western Canada) and he will catch the occasional female fish full of eggs. He fishes in a clean local lake that usually has rainbow trout. I would like to try to use those fish eggs my self in cooking. Thanks!
Would you discuss shad roe sometime? I just found some and discovered the taste is not very fishy at all if you cook it gently all the way through. But you should be careful not to eat too much at once, because it hits you like a ton of lead, with massive amounts of fat and protein. Would be interesting to see a cooking demo of that.
I bought some of the salmon roe recently and it might've been off, it tasted like flax oil that had become linseed oil fit only for carpentry. And smelled more like turpentine than anything else. Bleh. Should I have returned it?

I've been taking FCLO and daily salmon roe since December and it's had catastrophic effects on my vitamin D levels. I"ve just had a blood test and they've dropped by 50% from sufficient to deficient. I expect both are high in D2 rather than D3 and it's been shown that D2 supplementation causes D3 levels to drop. I love what the FCLO does for my teeth and I"m sure the salmon roe is highly nutritious but they're not a substitute for D3 supplements if you live at high latitudes.
When I was a young girl my greek grandmother used to fry saltwater fish quite often for lunch. She would always call us kids in for the meze of fish roe. I never knew then how wise she was. I have never had problems with my pregnancies or births and I make sure my kids get that roe no matter how small the fish-and sometimes they're no bigger than anchovies! Thank goodness for all the grandparents in the world with wisdom beyond any university education-the wisdom of the aeons.

Dear Sarah,
Thank you so much for this article and all the other very informative and great articles you've put up. I heard your lecture at the Oralhealth Summit and at the end of the talk, you mentioned fish eggs being one of the most important foods to eat, that along with fish head soup. I live close to a Chinese neighborhood and would go to a supermarket there to buy wild caught salmon heads. The up side is the heads are fresh and only cost $1.99 per pound. The down side is, though they're labeled wild caught, next to the tray of heads are two trays of salmon fillets, one labeled wild caught and the other labeled farm raised, so since there is only one tray of heads, I assume that they just threw the wild caught and farm raised heads together. I tried to get some answers from the people at the fish counter, but no one knows whether they are wild or farm raised. They do have other fish heads specifically labeled wild caught next to fillets of that fish also labeled wild that you can purchase, so I went there last Thursday to see what they had to offered. On that day, there were some fresh salmon heads and next to them were the two trays of fillets, this time, both labeled wild. Taking that to be the only salmon available was wild, I bought one of the heads and to my delight, on the tray of heads were containers of fresh fish roe. Because of your recommendation, I bought a container. As soon as I got home, I took a spoonful. I had been eating raw liver for almost 10 months and have not found any adverse effects from it, and decided to eat the fish roe raw. I don't know if I should have done that, but that night, as I was putting up some black out blinds, I broke out into a sweat. At that point, I didn't think anything about it and continued working. The next day, I made some soup from the meat from the fish head that I had roasted and broth that I had made from the bones and put in some vegetable and about a tablespoon of fish roe and had it for dinner. Later I broke out into a sweat again. Again, I didn't think much of it, till I saw some notes that I had taken from the Oral Health Summit mentioning that fish roe and sea food of all kinds had the ability to heal the thyroid. I had been dealing with low thyroid function for many years. I was always cold and the last few years, the condition became so severe that my fingers and toes would become numb and turn black as soon as I would get cold. I went to several, chiropractors and acupuncturist to resolve the issue and one of them told me that, a healthy body has moisture. In demonstration, he showed me his hand in comparison to my hands. His had a slight feeling of moisture on it and mine was absolutely dry. They are so dry that often times, I cannot even get a grip on a door knob to open it. So it was really amazing that a tablespoon of fish roe could do so much.
I am so grateful for this discovery, but I would like to know if it's OK to eat the fish eggs raw? As I said, I've been eating raw liver since April last year with no apparent problems. I divide them into single servings and freeze them and take out single servings as I use them. I plan to do the same with the fish eggs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Again thank you for all your contributions.

the Romanoff is in small glass jars not cans, by the way
I found Romanoff "caviar" whitefish roe at Walmart, $7 something for 2 oz. The ingredients are whitefish roe, salt, water, lemon juice concentrate, rice vinegar.
Also 2 others by Romanoff, one was black and one was red, but the ingredients included dextrose, so I didn't buy them.
They were on the canned fish (sardines, tuna…) aisle. In southern california.
What do you think of the whitefish roe, Sarah? Not just eggs and salt but… would they do? I hope you still read the comments so long after your original post. Thank you

I pay $9 for 50 g (that is 1/10 of an lb I believe) of salmon roe here in switzerland, but being russian and having a 3 year old means we just ignore the price and enjoy the good old "red caviar" as often as we can.

ok wait…I asked before I read. Now seeing the article, I see that the relationship to FCLO is addressed, thanks.
A couple of years ago I was backpacking with friends high in the mountains, and we caught a trout. We fried it up with salt and pepper and it was the best fish I've ever eaten in my life. But sadly, it was full of eggs, and we didn't know whether they were ok to eat, so we discarded them!!! I'll never make that mistake again. If I'd eaten them I probably would have turned into Wonder Woman

We have to eat them frozen. I freeze them individually and take them like pills, and my 4 year old likes to munch on them. Where there's a will, there's a way!
Wow! I read many of your articles and watched youtubes, but only today I found this article about salmon roe, or we call it red caviar. Fortunately, I live in Alaska for 4 years now and can make my own red caviar. It is super delicious to me, I eat it with chicken eggs in any form (boiled, fried, omelets, etc.), potatoes, bread, vegetables, super duper delicious with avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers.
I didn't know it has so much vitamin D. Thank you for the article.
If you want less expensive red caviar than in whole foods, you can get it at any Russian store, they even sell it by pound, there are a stores few in Florida, I used to live there.
I also eat it straight off the spoon like you.(I had had it before thinking of using it for this purpose so I knew I was going to like it) I was able to buy some salmon roe at a good price from the sushi chef inside a higher end grocery. I am going to visit the Asian market soon to check out their selection as I expect I will find lots of types there.
What about crab roe? My Korean market has beautiful orange very sweet tasting crab roe very inexpensively priced. The owner walked me to the crab to make sure I understood his answer to the question, "fish egg?" since I speak no Korean.
Hi – I doubt very much that salmon roe or any other fish roe has 17,000 IU/tsp. This seems totally unlikely. You should check your sources before publishing something like this. The WAPF is way way off on this. According to the USDA Nutrient Database (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4515?fg=&man=&lfacet=&format=&count=&max=25&offset=&sort=&qlookup=roe), fish roe will get you 137 IU/oz. You would have to eat a whole cup just to get 1100 IU. That's a lot of fish roe! If there exists fish roe on this planet that has 17000 IU/tsp, let me know where and how I can get it…
I've always loved roe being Japanese. We recently bought a pound of wild sockeye roe for 15$ right off the boat. We cure it ourselves at home. It tastes way better than cod liver oil, and all the cod liver oil that's readily available to us is pasturized and reloaded with soy oil. It's also 40$ a bottle! Not only is our roe fresh from the ocean and delicious, it's way cheaper and healthier!!

Hi – Also interested in Vit D content of salmon roe. Nutrition data.com (gov. database) has no Vit D listed. It must have SOME (but 17,000 per oz. seems awfully high). Also – Salmon Roe is WAY over priced at WF. Try to find a more "ethnic" market (especially catering to E. Europeans/Russians). The price has gone up A LOT in the last year (was about $19.00 per pound), but now its $32-$33). This is for frozen/thawed – which I think has to be better than the jars (which might be pasteurized).

As a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, we knew about the link between Vitamin D and degenerative diseases 10 years ago. It's great that most doctors are now testing for deficiency. Even if you get enough sun, however, you may not be able to process the Vitamin D to its active form. With bodies, it's often not that simple.
Do you think this would be a good product to get: http://www.amazon.com/Bottarga-Muggine-Grey-Mullet-Roe/dp/B000C1U83Q/ref=pd_sim_sbs_gro_4
It looks like it's traditionally dried. I'm new to purchasing fish roe!
Thank you!
My husband is from Ukraine so my mother in law serves fish eggs on bread with lots of butter. I don't like the taste but my 2 DDs eat them right off the spoon! My older DD always wants more so sometimes I will let her have a heaping tbsp of them and thats still not enough, lol.
Can you link to a source on the amounts of vitamin d there are in roe? I looked on the Weston Price Foundation and found that sturgeon roe (3.5 ounces) has 232 IU. Thanks.
I LOVE fish eggs! Sourdough bread with LOTS of butter and fish eggs on top. Yummy!

We are fortunate to live relatively close to the Atlantic Ocean and are able to purchase our seafood fresh off the boats. I thought I'd share one group we were part of, in case there is anyone else on here from Massachusetts: http://www.capeannfreshcatch.org/index.html
Because of this post I bought some fish eggs.
I really didn't like them, but I know how nutritious they are and important for me, as I am breastfeeding. Then the idea struck me – why don't I put them in my kefir smoothie. Normally, I add farm fresh egg yolk to my smoothie. (but I am out at the moment) Since the fish eggs are a bit salty, I skipped adding my pinch of sea salt that I would normally add and added a bit more berries.
So I am drinking my smoothie with fish eggs as I speak, and it taste great! Not fishy at all.
Can't wait to make one for my husband, who is a picky eater; I try to get as much healthy stuff in him as possible without him knowing it.

Hi Sarah,
I recently ordered fresh salmon roe from my market. I had to order a pound in order to get it so I figured I'd freeze it in an ice cube tray and thaw as needed. What I didn't know is that when it is fresh, it comes in large strips and the eggs are all stuck together by a slimy membrane. Do you know of a convenient way to get the mebrane off? I cut the strips in chunks to freeze in cubes as at the time I could not sit and peel each egg individually off the membrane from the entire pound. When I tried I had a slimy gushy mess. I'm hoping when I thaw the cubes the eggs won't be too difficult to get off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Sarah. My son is 8 1/2 months old (breastfed). He's been getting drops of the FCLO for 2 months now (in his daycare bottles), thank you. I recently purchased frozen roe from Vital Choice. It comes in 6 oz containers. I plan to thaw small amounts at a time since he will not consume 6 oz in one week. I'm hoping you can answer a few questions on preparation. Once thawed, do I feed it to him raw? Whole eggs or mashed? Lastly, what would you recommend as a serving size? In the last month, any veggie I've prepared for him, has been pureed and less than an ounce per serving. Taking it slow with him. I sure would appreciate any help here. You play a major role in my family's nutrition, and I'm so grateful for your knowledge! Thank you, Sarah. : )

Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Just my lay opinion, but I wouldn't be giving those drops. Just make sure your diet is high in D and he will get all he needs from your breastmilk. Make sure you get some sun too if possible. If not, fish eggs would be good to have in the diet.
My pediatrician prescribed vitamin D drops for my newborn. i haven't had the Rx filled yet because this was never something my 4 other children were given. What do you know about this and what would your suggestion be?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Vitamin D drops for a newborn? I am shocked. Are you breastfeeding? Have you yourself been tested for Vitamin D levels? I would consult with a holistic doctor for sure and get another professional opinion. If it were my baby, I would breastfeed and make sure my own diet was full of vitamin D rich foods like traditional mothers practiced. I know all the studies say that breastmilk has no vitamin D in it but this is because nearly all Mothers are deficient in vitamin D.

Also, go stand outside in the middle of winter naked, especially up north and see how long you can stand it. They have also proven that you don't make vitamin D much above latitude of Virginia after November.

I am a whole foods person, but enough of the anti-supplement garbage. There are orthomolecular doctors who have been using vitamins and minerals for now over 20-30 years to successfully and naturally treat many diseases and disorders. I guess ignorant supplementation would not be a good idea, but most people have a brain and the internet to arrive at correct dosages and combinations.

Just don't eat freshwater roe as it doesn't contain the same nutrients as ocean based roe like iodine.
"Just don't eat freshwater roe as it doesn't contain the same nutrients as ocean based roe like iodine."
Don't eat it, as there is something wrong with it, or don't eat it hoping for those nutrients, as it doesn't compare in this way?
Thanks for the clarification
I'd like to know why also, as I just found a reputable source for wild caught, freshwater salmon roe.
Not knowing the intent of Sarah's statement, I wanted to chime in with my own thoughts as this is something I have been researching lately. She may have other reasons for avoiding freshwater roe. There are 5 ways to obtain "seafood".
1. Catch it in the ocean (the best because it has nutrients that other fish and seafood would not have.
2. Catch it in a natural stream or lake or other freshwater body. It wouldn't have the same nutrients that #1 does, but would be a decent protein source.
3. Farm it responsibly. For example, a farmer friend has some freshwater shrimp and talapia ponds and puts solar-powered lights above the water to attract bugs to the surface that the fish eat. It wouldn't have the same nutrients that #1 does, but would be a decent protein source.
4. Caged in the ocean. Supposedly there is a dead zone on the ocean floor beneath them and they are fed inappropriate food and treated with chemicals.
5. Caged in freshwater ponds and fed inappropriate food and treated with chemicals.
Strangely, all of these could be labeled "Wild Caught" if they were caught in a manner that employed boats and hooks or nets, just like how you would catch fish in the wild. You can also call "seafood" wild (different that wild caught) if the farmed spices is the same (or similar hybrid) as the variety found in the wild. Most (all??) of what you see in supermarkets and even some health food stores is farmed and labeled as wild or wild caught. So basically, if you don't know and trust the people who did the catching, you don't know what you have.
After finding out the other day that my roe came from a freshwater source, I spent a lot of time on the internet looking for roe that came from a fish caught in the ocean. So far, I have had no luck. If anyone has roe from source #1 above, I would love to know where you got it!
Are there any issues with Mercury?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Not that I have seen any research on anywhere. Of course, get your roe from a clean source if at all possible.
It seems like whenever I tell people that I take cod liver oil and greens powder instead of synthetic vitamins they look at me like I have two heads. Superfoods are soooo much better than isolated nutrients! Unfortunately I don't care for fish eggs, but my friend has a recipe for a dip made with roe, olive oil, and sourdough bread pureed together and it is delicious!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Gabriella, could you please ask your friend to share her recipe! I would love to have that one!
Will you post it for us too?

What a great idea! I do not eat gluten so had not thought about fish roe in a while but do want to keep my d up! We sun at midday and I take suppliments so I will try this with yogurt and eggs!
Thanks for speaking of fatty liver disease I had just read Chris MasterJohns article and it was a great reveiw! You are a treasure!

Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
I am in absolute awe of Chris Masterjohn's work!
Yesterday for lunch I had some sauerkraut with homemade mayo (a cole slaw of sorts) sprinkled with salmon roes. Delicious!
Sarah Smith
Ah, I've been wondering about fish roe because my youngest (15 months old) is not a fan of the FCLO. Maybe he'll like fish eggs until he reaches the age where I can more "force" him to take his daily dose. Thanks!
Is this the same kind of fish eggs put on some sushi rolls? We get sushi from time to time, even when pregnant, as a bit of a treat if we're dining out. I usually asked for cooked rolls if I'm expecting, but just this past week I had sushi and wasn't sure if all the rolls were cooked (what's your opinion on that – raw fish while pregnant?) but I definitely saw those little orange beads on my sushi!
I'm happy to consume fish; I was thinking it might make up for my helter-skelter FCLO consumption while we were traveling, but I was very curious about the effects of uncooked sushi on a fetus. Of course, I have had crumbled cheeses too (like bleu & gorgonzola) and wondered if those were really no-nos. As you probably know, "unpasteurized milk is not recommended" by most medical personnel but WAPF says otherwise. Just curious about the cheese & fish though. Thanks, Sarah!
When I lived in Japan, I ate sushi a lot when I was pregnant and had five healthy children! I knew the raw fish I ate was very fresh. My ob/gyn never told me not to eat raw fish. I think it depends on the source and freshness of the fish and roe.
I didn't know about traditional diets while I was pregnant but I craved salmon roe like crazy. I made my husband buy me a pound of it a few times and I ate it with big spoonfuls of Russian style sour cream. I figured it had omega 3s but I had no idea at the time it was a baby making food. Cheers to listening to your body!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Ashley, LOVE your story. I used to drink soymilk before getting pregnant with my first baby .. when I got pregnant I inexplicably couldn't drink my beloved soymilk anymore. I'm sure now looking back that it was my body rejecting it as it would have been dangerous for me to drink it as it suppresses the thyroid and a strong thyroid is so important for a healthy pregnancy.
Dr. Natasha Campbell just put out a great article about listening to your body and its cravings.
I'm glad you just posted this. We are going to the beach in a week and I was thinking I won't need to take my fclo since I'll be out in the sun a lot. After reading this it sounds like I better take it. I haven't tried fish eggs yet, but you have convinced to get some. I know over winter I don't get enough sun so I'm glad fish eggs are the answer.
Hello Sarah,
I am pretty new when it comes to roe, but I would love to learn more about it so I can incorporate it into my family's diet. Please excuse my few dumb questions:
~Is salmon roe (the kind that is orangy color) already "cooked", or is it "raw". Does it need to be cooked? Will that destroy any nutrients?
~Any suggestions about how to get kids to eat it? Has anyone tried the roe cakes recipe from nourishing traditions (pg. 316?)
Thanks in advance!
I tried her recipe for simple shad roe for the 1st time. It was a bit unusual but I think if I had it more often I would get to like it.
Kate @ Modern Alternative Mama
Haven't tried fish eggs yet, just taking my FCLO and getting outside. Interesting though….
Hi Sarah,
Are Krinos and Castella good brands for fish roe? I've called Castella, and they've stated that their fish roe is unpasteurized and unprocessed.
Hi, I'm not Sarah, but have been using Krinos for years. The only ingredient is carp roe. The Carp Roe Dip (Taramosalata) looks similar, but contains soy oil, so you have to be careful not to grab it by mistake as I once did.
This post did get me to wondering if it is ocean carp or farmed carp. I have an email into the company, but since you can label farmed seafood as wild, I'm not sure their answer will tell me much.
Thanks Emily! I can't believe it is so hard to find wild caught fish now. How do we know if seafood and fish are truly wild caught?
Krinos just got back with me and they are freshwater carp. Bummer!!
We buy our shrimp, fish, fish heads, and oysters directly from a family-owned seafood market that has their own boats and we've seen the boats and spoken extensively with the family. Since you can't rely on labeling, meeting the source is the only way I feel comfortable buying seafood.
Rebecca C
I'm confused about the freshwater versus salt water thing. Carp is a freshwater fish, they do not live in the ocean. Will i not get sufficient vitamin D from carp roe because it is freshwater, or because it is farmed? What makes there not be sufficient vitamin D?
Salmon roe was one of my babies 1st finger foods. They love to grab the tiny eggs. Way better than cereal "O"'s…Yuck!
Yesterday I was at our local Market Basket and saw a greek fish roe–this one uses carp roe. It was a good price, but didn't know anything about carp, so I didn't purchase. Do you know anything about carp roe, Sarah? Should I be looking for salmon roe in particular?
Hi Julie, I eat taramosalata (which is made of carp roe eggs, olive oil, onions, lemon and bread or potatoes during the fasting periods (half the year). It's an excellent food and very tasty, too. Go for it!
Very timely here. Last night I added roe to my grocery order to be delivered tomorrow. I started GAPs and I plan to put them on some scrambled eggs.
Soli @ I Believe in Butter
For a while I was regularly snacking on brown rice crackers with creme fraiche and roe on them. Since I'm off dairy and grains as I transition into the body ecology diet, this is now out. I've been buying roe at Ikea, but they put extra junk in them. I'm going to be on the lookout for better quality roe now, in addition to writing to Ikea and chiding them for doing this to such a nutritious food.
Stanley Fishman
Fish eggs are a terrific food. I have come to love the taste, and eat it right off the spoon just like you do.
Russians, who truly appreciate fish eggs, will eat them with plenty of butter on small pieces of toast, or cover them with sour cream. But many appreciate the fish eggs just by themselves.
It takes a while to get used to the taste, but you will come to love it, as your body learns how to absorb the wonderful nutrients.
Fish roe is delicious. I can eat it straight of the spoon, but I also like to sprinkle it on my eggs in the morning.

AbstractThermal Stir Welding (TSW) provides advancement over the more conventional Friction Stir Welding (C-FSW) process because it separates the primary processes variables thereby allowing independent control of metal stirring and forging from the stir zone temperature. However, the feedback for precise control of the stir zone temperature, and hence the process parameters to sustain that temperature within a narrow range, does not currently exist on the TSW machine at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). At present, the current state of the art for the selection of process parameters for both TSWing and C-FSWing parameters is highly empirical and by nature is based on phenomenological knowledge. In response to this need, Keystone is proposing this Phase II STTR project to demonstrate the feasibility of closed-loop control of the TSW process and to enable the establishment of a analytically derived processing map to accelerate process understanding and selection of parameters for a given material and pin tool design. The close-loop control system will enable sustainment of a steady-state temperature at the stir rod as a function of spindle RPM and the travel velocity for a given z-axis loading and stir rod design. Use of this theoretically derived processing map will provide guidance in the optimization of the process parameter domain for solid-state welding of a given material. This capability will in turn enable rapid process qualification of the TSW process and components produced by the process.

NCBA president Joe Amato presented Robert with the award, a beautiful brass bust resembling a boxer from the early 1900's. Guerrero, who's traveled across several weight classes, has won six world titles in four divisions thus far in his career. He's also traveled overseas to capture a world title. "I'm honored to have received this award from the Northern California Boxers Association," said Guerrero. "This trophy is very beautiful and I'm thankful to the people that put on this event and all my family and core team whose been with me from the beginning. The Northern California boxing scene is one of the best in the world and I'm happy to be part of this great era of boxers from this area."

Practice Area: Workers compensation
Outcome: Settlement at $100,000.00, a favorable settlement considering the age of the case and the fact that the client was a low wage earner when injured.
Description: Michael represented a workers' compensation claimant who had been through three other lawyers, none of which were able to resolve her case. The claimant had had several multiple surgeries, which the employer paid for, and was ready to settle her case. At the time that Michael was hired, the case had been ongoing for four years.

Tomb Raider preview (hands-on, screens and gameplay video)Pocket-lint
An all new outing for Lara Croft has been on our radar for a while now - since E3 2011, in fact - but we've never had such an in-depth look at the prequel/reboot as we were treated to at this year's show.
The forthcoming Tomb Raider - a return to the title first forged in 1996 - features a 21-year-old Lara stranded on a desert island. She's accompanied by a collection of other survivors, but the island itself is not all it seems. And there are other inhabitants that aren't quite so friendly.
Pocket-lint saw a 30-minute demo of the new chapter's gameplay behind-closed-doors at E3 2012 in LA and we were very impressed. Although the graphics engine employed here by Crystal Dynamics is the same used in the more recent games in the franchise, there seems to be more detail, better lighting and a greater emphasis on realism than ever before.
The level we were treated to, which culminated in (spoiler alert) Ms Croft's first ever kill, is set in a rainforest and is as far removed from the closed underground lairs synonymous with the series as can be. Indeed, think Uncharted and you're not going to be far wrong.
And yes, Uncharted will be mentioned a lot in association with this particular franchise's reboot. It's more cinematic and we have no doubt that Naughty Dog's adventure franchise has been an influence. However, where the latest Tomb Raider deviates from Nathan Drake's adventures is that it is far darker, in palette and tone.
In fact, the long demo we were treated to felt more like a slasher/stalker horror movie than Jewel in the Crown. Lara's friends are being picked off by the island's current inhabitants and the entire gameplay level is more to do with surviving than finding treasure and working out how to trigger "mechanisms".
And then, of course, there's that first kill. We see Lara acquire a bow and set of arrows ("her primary weapon for the game") and her initial challenge is to shoot and slice open a dear for food. That's not the first kill, but still makes you (and her) feel uneasy.
But later, events transpire that are far more shocking than animal butchery. And, in the context that this is a videogame in an industry of calmly au fait blow-your-face-off titles, the final moment when Lara Croft takes a human life is handled both sensitively and dramatically.
This is a new direction for the Tomb Raider series and one that, from our first impressions, could see the much-maligned heroine catapulted back to iconic status. And for the right reasons, this time.
What do you think? Could the latest Tomb Raider be the shot in the arm the franchise needs? Let us know in the comments below...

In this paper, the modeling of wind turbines for power system studies is investigated. Complexities of various parts of a wind turbine model, such as aerodynamic conversion, drive train, and generator representation, are analyzed. The results are verified by field measurements made on a stall-regulated fixed-speed wind turbine. The modeling focuses on deriving a representation that is suitable for use in grid simulation programs.
