Bought two of these pillowcase sets in the King size and Medium Blue color, and two sets in the King size and Sage color. The colors match the 1500 TC sheets perfectly, and are as pictured. Both Medium Blue sheets and pillowcases are a saturated medium blue color, although the Sage color is slightly less saturated than the picture on my monitor shows. Both Med Blue and Sage look very expensive and high-quality. They are large pillowcases that fit my king size pillows well, with a little room to spare. But People, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH before you buy high Thread Count sheets. Don't give low reviews, or waste your money, simply because you were ignorant of what you were ordering. High TC sheets start out being heavy and a little stiff when you first open the package, but they soften up by washing and using them. The higher the TC, the heavier the sheets, so these sheets are heavy. Lower thread count sheets will be initially more pliable and more "airy" feeling, because there are fewer threads per square inch, so they actually are more airy since there is more air between threads. If you like light weight, airy sheets, get low TC or cotton-blend sheets. Initial softness in cotton sheets depend on the quality of the cotton used, and whether they have been pre-softened before you buy them. Having your sheets pre-softened means that they are usually more expensive, because of the extra time and processes involved. These sheets have not been pre-softened, so we are able to buy them cheaper than you would otherwise. Also note that all cotton sheets, especially higher TC sheets, WILL WRINKLE and take more time to dry! If you have multiple sets, which I recommend, fold the other set when it comes out of the dryer, putting your folded pillowcases between the bottom and top sheets so the weight naturally presses them, and put the set away. When you take them out to change sheets, the folded set will have lost most of the wrinkles. By alternating sheet sets, and folding the unused set, you shouldn't have to iron your sheets. If you are still unsatisfied with your minor wrinkles, or if you only have one set, you can iron your sheets if it really bugs you. These particular sheets and pillowcases are beautiful and have held up well after washing. They are exactly what you would expect from 1500 TC sheets, will last forever, and are far less expensive on the big O than elsewhere.
From the moment I opened the package I knew I was in love. Since I have sensitive skin, I usually do not purchase bedding without touching it first. However, I decided to take a chance after a self-proclaimed "sheet snob" co-worker recommended the luxury sheets on overstock. Since my purchase I have ordered 5 more sets and only wash them together to protect the fabric. It is also important to note that to experience the full luxury and softness of these sheets one must wash them properly. While cheap sheets fall apart after repeated washings, these sheets only get softer. Even though I am not one of high financial income, these sheets and pillowcases are an essential investment in my sleep.
Bought these in addition to the sheet set, also 1500tc. They are even softer after washing and are a dream to sleep on. We have never been disappointed by any of the sheet sets that we have gotten here. We started with LOL 600tc set went to 800 then 1000. My wife says I am addicted to sheets.
I wrote a review of the sheets and these pillowcases had exactly the same issue. First set had holes when they arrived. Second set started shredding in multiple places after being carefully washed in a large load new washer and line dried after 60 days. No refunds or credits allowed since it is past the refund time frame. Overstock does NOT stand behind the quality of their products after 30 days. I was offered a 15 refund. Even after speaking to a supervisor.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Horrible.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Horrible.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Horrible.
I love the sheets, but the workmanship is poor! When I wash them the seams came apart!!!! So I had to fix them. This happen on both set that I bought.
The chocolate color turned to a dark greenish brown after they were washed. Couldn't coordinate with other brown sheets at all. Sent them back.
Excellent quality product. My wife opened them as one of her Christmas presents. She immediately put the sheets in the washer announcing, "We are sleeping on these tonight!" We did and they were simply wonderful.
How awesome are these sheets? Totally luxurious. Very thick 100% cotton sheets that will last years and years. They do wrinkle easily but who cares? You put them on the bed and put a blanket or comforter on top anyway so a few wrinkles really don't matter, but after they are on the bed, they straighten out. I ordered other sheets on another popular website and when they came they were NOT thick and 100% cotton. These sheets will soften up with a few washes, but I actually like the crispness. So much so that I bought a second set!!! You won't be sorry, buy them and enjoy!!!
This is the second set of these sheets I have purchased. I waited for a good sale and coupon and got them for a reasonable price. I won't buy anything else now. They are expensive, but if you like the better things you are going to like these. Be prepared if you get the King size, that they will have to be shuffled a couple times in your dryer to keep them from balling up because they are heavy weight. They do require a break-in period to soften up, and ironing helps this. But after the third washing the roughness goes and you have something wonderful.
Nice weight and feel, silky; still a little stiff but they've only been washed twice and you can tell they'll become buttery-soft over time. Pillowcases are ample even for thick pillows (a constant annoyance on a different set we previously bought from Overstock). The fitted sheet is actually a little loose, even on our stupidly thick mattress, so it has room to shrink a little over time. My only complaint is that the flat sheet tends to roll up at the bottom and side hems, instead of lying flat. Many heavy sheets do this though.
Thick,strong but smooth to the the touch,easy to put your head on.The pillowcase is bright and stands out.
Never sleep on anything less than 1500 thread count These pillow cases are very nice.
Washes good, shrinks a bit on hot water but a little oversized so fits better after washing. Thick and warm and silky
Sleepy time never felt better. Feed your head.
The sheets are nice but very heavy
Heavy pillowcase's that after a few washes are just perfect. These are not light and flimsy. If I bought anything else my wife of 43 years would have me sleeping in the basement.....
Nice sheets, have several sets
It is always great to have extra pillow cases and it is nice they match the sheet set as well.
Beautiful color. A bit thin for 1500 ct. They feel soft and I haven't washed them yet. Most of my 1500 are thicker. Something that lets me know they are 1500. Wish I could write a review after a few washes to be fair.
I have 4 larger than standard size pillows but the pillow cases are much larger than the pillows

Furniture and lively dogs
After years of having a little old dog whose only goal in getting on the couch was to curl up and go to sleep, our current situation has taken a little getting used to.
Oh, the three young dogs that inhabit our house now do a little of that. But they also use the furniture for flying leaps from one piece to the other, for wrestling with each other, and for gnawing on an array of plastic bones and balls.
The result is that Jenny had noticed a couple of pulls in the fabric.
"They're going to ruin our furniture," she announced one day. "I love this furniture; I've always thought it was beautiful."
Umm, I thought. It seems to me that when we bought it shortly after we were married a dozen years ago, she didn't like the color, which is predominantly green.
She wanted blue, but we couldn't find anything in blue that had a thick woven pattern that we thought would be suitable for a dog. She complained about the green, but gave in.
Anyhow, time changes everything, apparently.
Of course, I didn't say that.
"We already have throws on the furniture; I don't know what else we can do," I offered.
"What we need is some slipcovers," she said.
Only old people have slipcovers, I thought. But I was wrong (or maybe not).
She ordered some.
When we opened the box Saturday, there were two packages inside labeled "SureFit" that looked like sheets, and two packages of vinyl grip strips labeled "TuckOnce."
When we opened the first slipcover and laid it over the loveseat, it looked like enough material to cover the queen's throne at Buckingham Palace.
I thought it must be the wrong size, but Jenny assured me pointedly that she had ordered the proper size.
"It says you just start tucking all the excess in around the cushions," Jenny said.
I kept wadding material in and eventually most of the excess material disappeared into the crevices.
Then we opened the "TuckOnce" package. The instructions said to push the V-shaped strips into the left and right arm crevices on the loveseat and then do the same thing with strips along the back of the cushion.
If the grips are too long, "cut to proper length with a heavy-duty scissor," the instructions said.
They were. Jenny found they were too tough to cut with scissors, but I managed to shorten them using a butcher knife and a cutting board in the kitchen.
By the time I had managed to put the other cover on the couch and push all the strips as far as possible into the crevices, the sweat was dripping off my nose. I was worn out and my fingers were sore.
"Golly, I'm glad that's over," I said. "I wouldn't want to have to do that again."
Jenny gave me that look: "You know that when they get dirty, we'll have to take them off and put them in the washer, don't you?"
She looked at the expression on my face, got up and spread the throws on top of the new slipcovers.
Good idea.

Re: Stuck on processingroustabout May 22, 2011 1:25 PM (in response to LynAnderson)
Something to try is holding the power button in for ~15 seconds, long enough to force the NC to completely power off (you can ignore the dialog that comes up, just keep holding the button.)
Then power it back on. Many folks have found this process has helped them.

The otologists and rhinologists of this country have, I believe, a decided opinion that the ear, nose and throat have a rôle in the etiology of many general diseases, contributing directly in certain diseases and indirectly in others. Specific citations will be offered in the discussion of this important subject.
The nose is both a respiratory and an olfactory organ. As a respiratory organ it prepares the air for the lungs, filters it, warms and moistens it. The normal mucus secreted from the nose, in addition to furnishing moisture for the inspired air, is a factor in digestion. It is especially true that gastro-intestinal disorders are not uncommon in very young children suffering from diseases of the upper air passages, and are due to putrefactive changes from the action of bacteria on the intestinal mucosa rather than on food particles.Nasal stenosis produces a

What's New in Version 5.2.4
Minor bug fixes.
Customer Reviews
This has all the options, and more!
This is the absolute best Sudoku app - and I've tried a bunch of them trying to get one I like! It has options for EVERYTHING, including all the different ways to do pencil marks! You can set "pick a number, then a cell," or vice versa! Best of all, the hints can do everything from a simple "is board solvable (do I have anything wrong)" to "undo until solvable" (!) to "hint" - which will then lead you through AND TRAIN YOU on advanced solving techniques! Absolutely amazing app! The free version gives you one of each game each day, which is a good hour+ of play time, but it'll be worth paying for the full version just because this is SO GOOD!
Beware those 95 percent who are faster than me!
I thoroughly enjoy this app. I used to do the Sudoku written books but my IPad use ended up moving paper books and magazines to the back corners of the desk. However, this app brings back the mind-bending logic I enjoyed and have added several dimensions, especially the tutorials.
I always did these number puzzles using brute force and educated guesses. Who knew there was a structure that logically ensures the game has only one solution and that taking advantage of that fact, I can use special tactics and/or techniques to find logical choices.
The tutorials are too much for me to handle all at once (the advanced techniques seem a foreign language to me) but I am seeing some of the situations in the games and have started using these new techniques.
The games are timed and you see how you fared against the rest of the app users. Soon I will be completing these faster than 5 or 6 percent of you. Watch out you 95 percenters!
This is a great way to spend an evening.
Enjoy it
I enjoy this app. I have gone through times of ignoring it, but I've also gone through times of playing everyday. I've been using it for quite while now on my iPhone and for a long while before that on a previous smart phone. It is totally worth it to download this one.
Edited a long time later to say that I now have this on my new iPad and I will probably take it off and only use it on my phone. I strongly prefer to play with no sound but on my iPad it makes loud clicks noises with every touch of the screen even if I turn my sound down to mute. Bleck!

Life Tell Me Why
posted by June 20 at 13:04 PMon
I'm confused by this message:
Why would anyone go to a casino to be in a situation that's identical to the one in the home they are leaving? A home means family life, family love, which is not really love at all but a flat self-reflection, a love for those who look and act like you. So this is what you want out of a casino? To be with yourself again? To leave home only to return to your home? If a casino is to be what it really is—a dangerous experience—it must be peopled by those who are not the same as you. By those who may not even like you like family.
But, really, what is the meaning of this bus sign? The meaning of a family man who wants to see his family everywhere he goes? The meaning of this desire for a smooth social space between the doors of the home and the doors of the casino? The family was once the site of resistance, as the Greek tragedies make clear; but since they were Christianized near the end of the first century, they have been reduced to an empty place for empty faces. The wildness of the family is long gone. It no longer has the power of birth and the power to bury its dead. It is this powerlessness that the man on the bus wants to feel at the casino. He wants it to be as tame as the home that was tamed by a thousand years of church work.
This is not how the men and women of Pascal's generation gambled. Indeed, Pascal's entire religious faith was based on one cosmic bet. For him, the casino was exciting and dangerous, everything and nothing. It was far from home, from familiar, from the sleep of domestic rhythms.
A comment from Mr. Poe:
It's marketing, Charles.
What would you prefer?
"Treats me like part of the Tribe!"
"Treats me like we're ancestors!"
"Treats me like a stranger!"
"Treats me like a gambler!"
"Treats me like family!"
I would prefer: "Treats me like part of the Tribe!" A whole different meaning that one has to "Treats me like family."

ODT Online
ODT /directory
Larry Nichvolodov, from Ski Dogs New Zealand, told
councillors the closed section of the drive was ideal for
dry-land training for Nordic-style cross-country sled-dog
In fact, the 1.3km section of road was used for dry-land
cross-country ski training in preparation for the 2011 IFSS
World Championships held in Norway last March, he said.
Nordic style skiers around the world did dry-land training,
as well as snow training. Even in Nordic countries skiers
struggled to find long flat areas for dry-training.
Ski Dogs NZ would be happy to pay up to $10,000 to seal a
1.5m-wide 600m section of the roughest parts of the road
using a "slurry seal" if the council would agree to allow it
to be used for practice.
It would be a sports training facility unique in New Zealand
and would be used by several Dunedin-based cross-country
skiers, other New Zealand skiers, and international skiers
coming to train in the northern hemisphere off-season.
For use as a practice venue, vehicles would have to be kept
off John Wilson Ocean Dr.
Council staff said the council had agreed to restricted
vehicle access along the road once resurfacing was completed
and new markings were set out to provide a separate
pedestrian/cycle lane on the road's seaward side.
That was in the long-term plan, to be completed in 2012-13,
but was to be confirmed against other priorities through the
present budget review process.
Council staff would contact Mr Nichvolodov to see if any
agreements could be reached for using the road for restricted
periods for continued practice use, and discuss the
resurfacing funding offer.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Haven't come across a flying dog in a while up our way. You
say that they don't cost much. Well wait until they demand an
all-weather undercover training stadium with seating for
30,000 for when the international skiers coming to train in
the northern hemisphere off-season.
However, the RAOPF being a purely voluntary chapel, provides
a very essential and critical function after each Council
meeting in that we feed, groom and get the pigs ready to fly.
We also provide counselling for that babirusa amongst the
clutch that needs it with a bit of aromatherapy thrown in.
Again, at no cost to the Ratepayers of our fair City.
Yes, my comment is based on reality. Our main reason for
wanting to utilise the proposed training track at the JWD is
our present runway at the Queens Gardens is under threat by
the building of a multi-storey holding facility for your
white pachyderms in the immediate vicinity. God knows the
trouble we encountered when we were located in the Exchange
when the Chief Post Office was built. At least there we had
the services of Constables Oswald or Williamson to stop the
traffic when they were on point duty between the tram tracks
at the Princes and High streets intersection.
By the way, you are not by any chance a member of the now
defunct STS and looking for another worthy cause. I did hear
that they have gone underground round Murrayfield St way.
We have seen more flying dogs than flying pigs!
Is your comment based on reality?
What suburb do you live in? There are a lot of white
elephants around here, where we live. Give sled dogs a
chance, they don't cost much.
If these sled dog people get their way, I would like to
suggest that the Royal and Ancient Order of Pig Flyers be
allowed to utilise their sealed 600 metre path as a runway
for take-offs and landings when not in use.

Social Media Consolidation Advances IMC High Point Web Marketing
Monday October 8th, 2012 - 11:45PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
International Market Centers, which operates key furniture showroom buildings in High Point, NC, has rolled-out a new marketing strategy to improve its tenants' prospects. To promote the biannual High Point Market, it has developed a campaign that incorporates a new website and social media accounts for IMC premium properties, it stated.
"We are excited to introduce our new marketing strategy for Fall High Point Market," said Karen Olson vp/home furnishings marketing. "We previously focused on individual marketing strategies for each property, but we have now streamlined our approach to be much more cohesive, bringing all properties under one IMC umbrella, while still maintaining the unique personality of the various venues and destinations."
The new campaign— dubbed "The Center of Market. The Heart of Your Business."— will underscore IMC High Point's value proposition by showcasing properties the company operates, highlighting the diversity of products presented and demonstrating the benefits of leasing and visiting its properties during the show.
IMC recently unveiled its new website and social media plan for the Fall Market, which included merging four existing websites: those for Showplace, Market Square Properties and IHFC. The result is one cohesive web presence for IMC High Point: www.imcenters.com/highpointmarket, the company noted. The new social media plan parallels the strategy behind forming the new website by creating one improved IMC social profile. Each specific property still will receive social media promotion, but it will be accomplished via one main and recognizable profile. Tenants, buyers, distributors, media and Market attendees can begin following, liking and participating in IMC High Point's social channels through www.facebook.com/imchighpointmarket as well as on Twitter via @imchighpointmkt and Pinterest via www.pinterest.com/imchighpointmkt.
"We feel it's important to unify our buildings and messages, and be viewed as one company," said Olson. "This streamlined approach to our social media channels will convey our prominent presence in High Point as well as give buyers compelling reasons to visit our buildings and customers."
The Fall High Point Market runs from October 13 to 18. With 12 million square feet of space, more than 2,000 exhibitors, and 45,000 registered buyers, High Point Market offers myriad products, education and networking opportunities, IMC asserted.

The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Lou started hinting yesterday that Mike Fontenot would get some reps in spring training at shortstop. The idea being that if he can manage to not completely fuck it up, he could keep Andres Blanco off the roster and open up another spot for a legit bat or for Kevin Millar to spin fanciful tales of his World Series days and entertain the press corps.
As it stands now, the assumptions were that the bench would be Koyie Hill, Baker or Fontenot depending on who was starting that day, Andres Blanco, Xavier Nady (or whichever outfielder he's starting for) and then one of Chad Tracy, Micah Hoffpauir, Sam Fuld, Kevin Millar or possibly even Brad Snyder, Bobby Scales or Bryan LaHair. If Fontenot could handle the back-up shortstop duties without being a complete liability, that could open up two spots on the bench and send Blanco back to the minors. Blanco is out of options, so he'd have to go through waivers if that happened, but hardly a loss if someone did decide to give him a 25-man spot.
The other revelation today was that Lou is already ready to give Starlin Castro the shortstop job if Theriot hurts himself.
"If Theriot were to get hurt, which we don't want obviously, we'd just put the kid (Castro) at short and let him play."
Theriot better be sure to always travel in pairs this season.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
my god...someone gave livan hernandez a minor league deal...WAS...
it's over, dude. =p
...also from gordon witty's twitter feed...
"Zambrano wearing a headband and Silva wearing spare tire just jogged by. ... 3.7 on the Richter scale."
also ted lilly has missed the last couple days due to fever according to witty...hopefully it's not the valley variety =p
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
When I heard Randy Bush on Bruce Levine's show, he pretty much said that 23 of 25 spots are locked up due to contracts and "other things".
IF that is true, it will be really interesting to see who numbers 24 and 25 are.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I don't know who that will be, but I sure hope they don't fuck it up.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Nice shortstop you got here. Be a shame if someone were to set fire to him.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
That really is a mean but funny picture of Theriot.
Count me in the keep Castro in the minors society.
I also wouldn't like to lose Blanco just yet. I'd like to see if he can hit MLB pitching with some of the power he showed last year.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
blanco is a great luxury cuz he can play SS and 2nd on a pretty high level.
i'd like to see some power on the bench besides nady/hoff...though that's a nice 2-piece option to have off the bench.
the cubs have room to move some of these AAAA/bench dudes this spring. if tracy or millar show something it could make it even weirder on who's going/staying.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Really? I mean if he can play defense equal to or slightly better than Theriot, I would be all for letting him play SS and moving Theriot to 2B. It's not like more time with the Cubs stellar minor-league coaching staff will do him a ton of good. Didn't work for Pie... Patterson... etc, etc.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I don't understand the point of movie Theriot to 2nd. Baker and Fountainout have got more offensive upside than Theriot.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Fontenot is barely qualified for AAA. I'm tired of bitching about him... let's get this season started.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Fountainout's EQA = .265
Theriot's = .261
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I couldn't decide between that and Fountainout.
Re: Allegedy best nicknames in MLB
Seriously. Give Fukkakedome some credit. He'll just keep on quietly spraying balls all over the face the diamond, though.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Lou either has Alzheimers or a very short memory. He's tried Fontenot and shortstop and Fontenot sucks balls. He has a career fielding percentage of .500 at shortstop. He's handled 4 chances and committed errors on 2 of them. And the other two chances he didn't fuck up were force outs when he stepped on second. He was tremendously fucking awful.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
he's put a lot of footwork work in...might as well test it out. he's shown good improvement at 2nd.
it can't hurt and he'll find out for sure if blanco is expendable.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
He's put footwork in?...at shortstop? He should work on becoming an average fielding 2b before he spends time on other positions. AND work on his hitting. All this talk by Lou about not being able to have a bat because Blanco can't hit, he should stop and look at last season's stats. Blanco's hitting was equal or better than Fontenot's. And unlike Fontenot, Blanco can field. I'm not clamoring for Blanco to start anywhere on this team, it's just that his competition is crap and a legitimate fielding SS is a necessity. If Lou and Hendry think they can put together a team with no back up shortstop again, it's just another sign It's The End in 2010 (and not in a good way).
Fontenot: .236/.301/.377
Blanco: .252/.303/.341
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
fontenot's footwork at 2nd is much improved. that was most of the problem with his D, anyway.
with the info that cubs are gonna go with s.castro when/if injuries occur this makes a long-term middle IF replacement expendable.
if fontenot can show lou he can occasionally handle SS then they no longer have to carry a glove man.
if they didn't want to put castro in the equation blanco's job would probably be safer. besides, fontenot has to prove he can do it before they'll let him.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Fontenot .236/.301/.377, 419 PA's
Blanco: .252/.303/.341, 138 PA's
Sample size maybe? Just platoon Baker/Fontenot and move on...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Yeah, lay off Moonlight. He might still be seeing stars.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
As I posted in an earlier thread, Lou saying he's going to give Fontenot time a short in March is becoming a rite of spring. He said exactly the same thing last year.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Just like Freddy Patek without the range. With Fonty playing SS, I would expect this to put even more psych stress on the pitchers. Yuch.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I don't know, I doubt Marmol, for instance worries too much about who is playing shortstop behind him. It's not like our starter is Ozzie Smith or anything.
I just don't have enough faith in Baker's or Blanco's bats to not have Fountainout around.
Re: Really? You have Faith?
So you have faith in Fontenaught after last season? You don't think that 2009 could be the aberration?
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I think that 2009 and 2010 were both aberrations and that his true level is probably around his career averages: .266 .339 .422, maybe a little less slugging and a little more OBP.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I hope so TRN. Right now, as you know, our LH choices off the bench are pretty thin.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Not only on the bench, but we're planning on starting 9 right handed hitters on some days...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I think an MLB team needs a backup infielder who can actually field. Nothing can cause a team defense to unravel faster than bad middle infielding, except bad catching. If Fontenot had a .900 OPS, I'd say keep him on the grounds that the variance in hitting is greater than the variance in fielding, but as it is, on a real team, I say keep Blanco. If that means there are not enough roster spots for Fontenot, too bad. I say this as a lover of South Louisiana who likes to have as many Cubs as possible to have names ending in "ot."
Re: If Fontenot had a .900 OPS,
Wait! Fontenot has a beautiful powerful(for his size) compact swing. And he is all we have left of Sammy Sosa ~~sniff~~. I for one, want to see what Rudy Jaramillo can do with him.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Did you want to see what Leo Mazzone could do with Baltimore's pitching staff?
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Mr. White would make a perfect keystone combo with Mr. Castro. He is his translator. I vote for keeping him and breaking up the Cajun scrappy connection. Bueno! Ole!
BP and the Cubs
I find it really interesting how the poster NAVIGATOR who has constantly bashed Tim Wilken since he was hired (at least as far as I can remember), never gives him any credit for what he has been trying to do, nor acknowledges bona fide scouting authorities' take on what is happening in our minor leagues. Nice! Go Internet!
"Baseball America also recognized the improvement made in the Cubs' farm system. The Cubs organization jumped from 27th in baseball to 15th in Baseball America's pre-season talent rankings."
5 Cubs prospects in the BP Top 100. Improvement is at least noted.
re: er
Why the snark?
Look, I don't attach much importance to these lists. But lets look at three of the more notable ones that appeared recently.
BA - 5 Cubs
ESPN Keith Law of Scouts Inc. -- 2 Cubs
AOL Fanhouse's Frank Pilliere -- 3 Cubs
3 Lists, Cubs appearing 10 times. That's an average of 3.33 Cubs per Top 100
There are 30 major league teams. 100 top prospects/30 teams = 3.33 prospects per team on average.
If this little exercise has any deep meaning at all, it looks to me like the Cubs are all the way up to average.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I've never seen anyone do a study of how good these lists are, but I've never heard of AOL Fanhouse or Mr Pilliere and Law, besides being a bit of a tool, isn't a prospect guy.
That being said, BA has been pretty crappy at predicting Cubs players. The Cubs have had three RoY candidates including one winnder in the last two years and the highest any of them ranked was 30th (the one who did the worst of the three).
Personal opinion is that any list that doesn't have Lee isn't worth the virtual paper it's printed on anyway.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
"Why the snark?"
Did Time Wilkens poss in your cereal? Why the grudge? What basis is there for your "Teflon Tim" rants when there is objective evidence that he is moving the talent into the right direction?
Excuse me, "AOL Fanhouse"??? Since when does ANYTHING with AOL on it have any significance?! About as much significance as their stock. Ask Time-Warner.
Its not just the lists. It is your perception of not knowing what the minors are for, apparently, which is to get players to the Major League Level, and 2., develop players for use in-trade. Whether they become "Stars" or "Key Players" is just gravy. 650 players roughly out of ALL the various baseball levels get to have the chance. Out of that number, only a tiny percentage become Albert Pujols.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
The Cubs have a serious defect in drafting and coaching positional talent. They go after the toolsy players and skip over the baseball players. The Cubs are in love with drafting the jack of all trade player but master of nothing.
Its a sad state of affairs when the best and most successful positional talent since Mark Grace is Ryan Theriot. I am not even counting Soto as all he has proven is that he is a one year wonder to date.
Go back and look at the drafts of the last 20 years and you will see the Cubs picking their awesome 1st rounder and the next pick or picks is the All-Star/ Hall of Famer. Its not like the Cubs were finishing 1st place every year, even a blind squirrel could luck into one of those organization defining players.
The Cubs as an organization DOES NOT DRAFT OR DEVELOP positional talent AT ALL.
I will defend Ryan Theriot for who he is, he is the best option over the last 3 years for SS for this franchise. He isn't the best in the world, but that should send shivers down your spine about how crappy our system has been for decades. That and watching Bobby Scales being our best option for the OF should make you want to slit your wrists.
Starlin Castro is the savior now at age 19, and no OF or any other positional talent who could ever be considered to seriously to take over a MLB job remotely ready.
The way i see it we don't have shit to help this team over the next 3-5 years from our minors. Thats how bad it is.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
3-5 years is a bit harsh. we probably won't get an aram/dlee out of the minors any time soon (unless vitters pumps it up), though.
it's weird. the cubs have no organizational philosophy or an owner calling the shots on what kind of player should be drafted, but they've struck out a lot...a whole lot.
"The Cubs are in love with drafting the jack of all trade player"
...yes they are. i dont mind it when they do it with a guy like colvin, but when they do it with highschool kid who's got a lot of everything, but still very raw as a complete package...meh...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Ah, but what you do not see, my friend, is the value of a new owner. That is at least a +1.5 added to the prospect er, prospectus.
2000-oh-10 will be a miracle year...(well, at least a contract year for several Cubbies and the GM and the manager).
It's gonna happen!
I can agree with that, but he didn't have that problem in 2009, so maybe it was a combination of mechanical and mental. I think he and Bradley are the guys who pressed the most with Aram's injury.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
We've confused 2009 and 2010 with 2008 and 2009, right? Cause he did have that issue in 2009, but not as much in 2008.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Typo, but yeah, I meant 2008.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
wow...matt stairs has dropped 32lbs. this offseason.
that's soto-style impressive. too bad stairs didn't do it oh, 10 years ago.
btw...pablo sandoval showed up to camp STUPID huge. he's still got youth, though.
I read on Rotoworld via SFChron that Sandoval was actually 11 pounds lighter this year, but that was all the weight he lost in November when the stories came out about his weight loss plans. After that, it said he stalled.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Pablo Sandoval is the greatest athlete in the history of the world. He'll be fine.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
what, does he technically count as his own planet now? i can believe it and all...i just didn't hear about it.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
He does actually create his own gravitational pull, but I think he's technically only a planetoid.
Paging AZ Phil
I'm heading to ST game next Friday with my two sons (10&8), any key places or times to get a chance for a Cubs autograph?
We're sitting out in the grass behind the outfield.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
You named your sons "10" and "8"? That's more jacked than naming them all Jacos.
Show up really early and try to get them as they're finishing their drills.
HoHoKam is a pretty bad place for autographs, there's other parks where the players litterally walk out of the field after the game... but I can't remember which parks.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
"You named your sons "10" and "8"?"
I named after Dave Kingman and Barry Foote.
Their real names are Leslie and Meriweather.
Thanks for the info.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
NP good luck. The Park that the Padres used to share with.. the Brewers mabye was the best for getting after-game autographs, but I've lost track of which parks are which nowadays.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I always liked "Kong" for Kingman. I thought "The Baby-Faced Assassin" was okay for Danny Graves before he became "Danny Graves Blows Saves."
"Hey Asshole" was always appropriate for Larry "Chipper" Jones.
Unrelated and probably 3/44, but I was watching a clip of the "Brian Westbrook" ESPN interview and someone directed me to this "Steve Bartman" interview. Not sure how I missed this at the time, but...

MLB Network...forget which show, i think it's "Hot Stove," has been highlighting a "SABR-style" stat nightly debating their worth and what they show...along with poking holes in some of them.
it's a mix of intelligence, ignorance, and personal opinions.

Trib is quoting Piniella that Caridad is on the team unless he pitches himself off...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
that stuff caridad does is called pitching these days? hehe...
i wonder what j. van buren is up to? =p
yeah, caridad is a much better pitcher than jvb, but he's got some interesting motion on the mound.
btw...yes, i like caridad. i just think he's funky. he throws that mid-90s fastball on a plane with a little bit of side/side movement, but it rarely breaks much if at all. should be interesting if he can keep his control.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Caridad was fun to watch last year.

Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

What are some of the biggest dating no-nos?
Published: Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 3:57 p.m.
If you're dating, it's bound to happen.
Dating deal-breakers
Are you having trouble getting dates? In addition to talking with "Undateable" author Anne Coyle, we polled relationship experts and Colorado chatroom members from singlesnet.com, waded through threads on plentyoffish.com and queried Facebook users to find out what blunders were ultimately deal-breakers.
Here's what you probably did wrong:
Constantly calling, instant messaging and texting.
Drop in unexpectedly.
Use goofy pet names in public.
Act insecure.
Take too long to get ready.
Ask "where is this relationship going?"
Lie about age or weight.
Keep a checklist of requirements.
Friend a man on Facebook if you've only gone out a couple of times.
Lead him on, or aren't assertive enough to say "We aren't a match."
Are afraid of sending sexually explicit text messages or photos after a few dates.
Have a "tramp stamp," a tattoo above the rear end at the base of the spine.
Ask if they look fat in an outfit.
Can't walk in heels.
Never wear a dress.
Have an unkempt house.
Are always down or moody.
Are either too clingy or too distant.
Wear too much makeup or perfume.
Don't communicate feelings until they blow up.
Don't know the difference between a disagreement and a discussion.
Are picky about food.
Expect fireworks after a date instead of letting sparks grow.
Get princessy or acts entitled.
Take down profile on dating site after only a few dates.
Say "I love you" or talk about marriage after only a few dates.
Are too attached to their mothers.
Try to have sex too early.
Lie about how tall they are or how much money they make.
Whip out a calculator at dinner to split a check.
Go into hyper-pursuit mode.
Want to go out for dinner on a first date instead of something casual like having coffee.
Ask date if she has Viagra or another sexual stimulant.
Arrange group dates or has you meet his friends too early.
Don't use proper grammar or spelling.
Has sexy online dating profile names, uses sexual innuendo, talks about sex on a first date.
Facebooks a woman after a date instead of calling or texting.
Writes on a woman's Facebook page after only a few dates.
Plays head games such as waiting for three days before calling after a date.
Makes fashion errors such as wearing jorts (jean shorts) or embellished jeans.
Has minimal furniture.
Wears a Hawaiian shirt on a date.
Has goofy facial expressions while dancing.
Uses overly creative or long voice-mail messages.
Yells at the waiter.
Forces conversations or jumps from one topic to the next to avoid silences.
Is passive-aggressive or does things to push your buttons.
Uses his phone during a date (that includes texting).
Wears sneakers.
Wears Crocs.
Talks about awkward or personal topics such as medical procedures.
Brags about being dishonest or achieving something done through lying or theft.
Calls every minute to make sure you aren't going to stand him up.
Whines about how past exes did him wrong.
Drops stupid one-liners.
Is overweight but expects his date to be slim or athletic.
Has no plan for a date.
Talk about their children on a first date.
Aren't physically active.
Is late for a date.
Don't understand the sacrifices that must be made if his or her date has children.
Talk too loudly or too softly.
Are more interested in his or her pet than his or her date.
You go out with someone and think you had a great time. Then silence. Calls aren't returned. E-mails, if answered, are stiff.
Did you do something wrong?
You invariably did, said or wore something that was a deal-breaker to your date. If you are lucky, someone might take pity and tip you off about why they are running. But most people are left wondering why the brush-off occurred.
For guys, top offenses include wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jorts (jean shorts). Ordering girly drinks. Exclaiming "Booya!" or "You da man!" Sporting a comb-over, mullet or soul patch.
So says Anne Coyle, who, with Ellen Rakieten, has written a book that may help men overcome their dating foibles. "Undateable," penned like a field guide of universal truths, exposes "311 things guys do that guarantee they won't be dating or having sex." The mistakes are rated from "fairly innocent to completely hideous" with icons ranging from red flags to kisses of death.
Wearing embellished jeans? That's a red flag for trying to be "hip" and "actually ending up dressing like a 17-year-old girl," the authors say.
Entering a dumb contest? That's a storm cloud ahead because "no one wants to see you try to eat the most hot dogs."
Chewing tobacco or showing off pictures of how hot your ex was earns you the kiss of death.
While numerous self-help and relationship books give women tips on how to behave to "get the guy," Coyle says, literature helping men be worthy of a date was noticeably absent.
"Really, the nature of men is to not put too much time and importance on what they are wearing or how they are presenting themselves," she says.
While some men and women have blasted the book as male-bashing, Coyle disagrees.
"We think the book has a sense of optimism and hope to it," she says. "We give very concrete suggestions on what you should be wearing, doing and saying to have a successful date. We don't leave you twisting in the wind. Just make some small tweaks and things will improve."
Of course, women offend men in equal numbers because of the way they dress, talk or behave.
For Daniel Langstraat, a woman's obsession with her pets squelched their date.
"She kept bringing up how worried she was about her cats," says Langstraat, 36, who lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "Then during the date, she called home so the cats could hear her voice and know that she still loved them."
Coyle and Rakieten are planning to write a book for women listing male turnoffs. Among Coyle's "don'ts": wearing a "chick clip" in your hair instead of styling it, line dancing and having a "tramp stamp" tattoo on your lower back.
"Women also have a really bad habit of asking people if whatever outfit they are wearing makes them look fat," Coyle says. "That needs to stop. If you are that worried, then do something about it. A confident woman is sexy. A confident man is sexy."
Ginny McKinney's bad date started when she met a guy from a dating site who was still married and was actually 5 feet, 6 inches tall instead of the 6-foot height stated on his profile. But the ultimate deal-breaker came just 60 seconds after meeting, the 56-year-old from Denver said.
"He looked me up and down and said, 'I've really only been with athletic women, but it might be interesting to be with you.' "
How do you decide when someone's appearance or behavior is more than a minor quirk?
"When you stop having fun while on a date, you know you've reached your own deal-breaker," Coyle says.

The colour I offered on the likely effect on the share price of accumulation triggered by good Phase III data will be meaningless if Arikace fails the ongoing Phase III clinical trial.
Terry tells us that the odds of success are about 50/50. But Terry tells us a lot of things, and very rarely is what he tells us supported by the facts.
Going by the chart in the Company's Phase II extension study presentation, the change in FEV-1 28 days after the third treatment phase - averaged across the 43 patients, and relative to their readings at the start of the study - appears to have been an increase of about 5%.
This doesn't provide 'apples for apples' data for predicting the likely improvement in FEV-1 at the key point in the ongoing EU pivotal clinical trial, as the off-therapy periods in that older study were for 56 days (as opposed to the ongoing 28 days). But it's tempting to assume that the 5% increase would likely have been higher had the two earlier off-therapy periods been for only 28 days.
There is however 'apples for apples' data available for Tobi, the drug with which Arikace is being compared in the ongoing clinical trial. It was generated in a study of Gilead's Cayston where Tobi was once again the comparator therapy -
"Patients receiving Cayston had an adjusted mean actual increase from baseline to six months in FEV-1 percent predicted (averaged across three treatment cycles) of 2.05 percent compared to a 0.66 percent decrease for those receiving TIS".
As with the ongoing Arikace clinical trial, that Cayston study entailed three cycles of 28 days on therapy / 28 days off therapy. But it's important to note that the key efficacy metric here was the AVERAGE change in FEV-1 throughout the study period. Both Cayston and Tobi evidenced significantly greater efficacy in the early stages of the study compared with that evidenced at the end of the study (the point at which efficacy will be measured in the ongoing clinical trial).
The actual 'apples for apples' data - the change in FEV-1 at the end of the third 28-day off-treatment period for the approx 130 participants on Tobi - seems to have ranged from a 1% decrease to a 5% decrease - i.e. lung function on average at that point in the study for the patients on Tobi was actually significantly worse than it was at the start of the study.
For there to be any real danger of Arikace failing the ongoing EU pivotal clinical trial Tobi would have to turn back the clock, and deliver the sort of efficacy which supported its FDA approval fifteen years ago - when there was far less tobramycin resistance than has since developed as a result of widespread use of Tobi as a monotherapy.
But the most recent study data available predict an improvement in lung function of 5% or better for the patients on Arikace versus a deterioration in lung function for the patients on Tobi. And all Arikace is required to do in this study is to be not worse than Tobi.
I guarantee you will not see a single reasonable counter-argument from any of Terry's ids.
Having seen the following from rehdvm over the weekend -
"Improved FEV-1 and the probability that Arikace is going to kill lots of different bacteria. Not just Pa. My real hope is for NTM."
- it seems there is serious misunderstanding regarding the potential use of Arikace in controlling the various target pathogens.
One of the leading pulmonologists who attended the FDA-sponsored workshop last year which addressed the development of therapies for Non-CF bronchiectasis observed that around a third of these patients are infected with pseudomonas, as opposed to only seven or eight percent with NTM.
And Insmed quotes -
1. an estimated 50,000 in the US with NTM, with no approved treatments available.
2. more than 250,000 in the US with non-CF bronchiectasis in 2008, with no approved antibiotics - and 30% of non-CF bronchiectasis patients are infected with pseudomonas.
Apart from the obvious implication that rehdvm should invest in a calculator, the crucial factor he is overlooking here is that NTM infection is not thought to be contagious, whereas pseudomonas most certainly is.
I've yet to see an article about hospital-acquired or community-acquired pneumonia which doesn't mention pseudomonas - and it is one of the four gram-negative pathogens named in the new legislation as posing a serious threat to public health.
Hence my optimism that the FDA will approve Arikace as a therapy for all pulmonary pseudomonas infection. There seems little to be gained in approving it for the CF patient population alone if the pathogen is allowed to continue to spread in the non-CF bronchiectasis population. The latter is estimated to be at least eight times larger, and with FDA-approved access only to injected antibiotics it is surely an ideal environment for the development of drug-resistant strains.
Btw - NTM may not be contagious, but Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is indeed contagious. There are inexpensive drugs available to treat routine TB infection, but the nasty side effects have seen the development of drug-resistant strains following poor compliance with the therapeutic regimen. In the recommended therapeutic regimen for multi-drug-resistant TB an injected aminoglycoside is at the top of the list.
Perhaps far more significant is that two billion people worldwide are estimated to be carrying latent TB infection. It's difficult to see the pathogen being eradicated without the use of drugs which don't have the nasty side effects associated with drugs delivered via the bloodstream.
The implications for a liposomal inhalation therapy in are obvious.
Btw - if anybody here thinks Rehdvm's opinion is of any value, why don't you ask him why he sees more value in the potential use of Arikace as a therapy for NTM infection than as a therapy for either Pseudomonas infection or Mycobacterium Tuberculosis infection (latent or active).
Oops, more correctly -
1. NTM infection is thought not to be contagious, whereas pseudomonas most certainly is.
2. The implications for a liposomal inhalation therapy are obvious.
While we're waiting for a response to my initial post, the following posts may also be informative for investors new to INSM -
The GAIN Act moved Insmed into the sweet spot
Accumulation before and after Phase III results

text: I stumbled upon this recipe (from allrecipes.com) for turkey burgers last week when I was faced with 2lbs of ground turkey in my fridge. The entire recipe made 8 patties, so I cooked 4 (2 for me, 2 for my significant other) and froze the rest. Topped with spring mix, a homemade tomato salsa and avocado slices, delish. Ingredients (4 servings - 2 patties+topping each) Turkey Burger Patties - 2lbs (900g) lean ground turkey - 2 tbsp + 2 tsp seasoned bread crumbs (I used Panko) - 2 tbsp + 2 tsp diced onion - 1 egg white, lightly beaten - 2 tbsp + 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley - 1 clove garlic, minced - 3/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper (I just eyeballed these two when making them) Tomato Salsa - 1 whole tomato, diced - 1/2 red onion, diced - 1 large garlic clove, minced - 2 tsp dried basil - 1 tbsp light feta cheese - black pepper to taste - small bunch of spring mix per serving - 2 avocados, sliced (half avocado/patty) Directions - In a bowl, lightly beat the egg white. Add remainder of burger patty ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into 8 patties and grill on a BBQ (or pan fry in a skillet on your stove) about 5 minutes/side or until fully cooked through. - Meanwhile, combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl. - To assemble, place 2 patties on a plate, top with spring mix, salsa and avocado slices. Enjoy!

Julie R Enszer is a scholar and poet. Her scholarship is at the intersection of U.S. history and literature with particular attention to twentieth century U.S. feminist and lesbian histories, literatures, and cultures. By examining lesbian print culture with the tools of history and literary studies, she reconsider histories of the Women's Liberation Movement and gay liberation. Her book manuscript, A Fine Bind: Lesbian-Feminist Publishing from 1969 through 2009, tells stories of a dozen lesbian-feminist publishers to consider the meaning of the theoretical and political formations of lesbian-feminism, separatism, and cultural feminism. Her research has appeared or is forthcoming in Southern Cultures, Journal of Lesbian Studies, American Periodicals, WSQ, Frontiers, and other journals.
Enszer is the author of three collections of poetry, Lilith's Demons, Sisterhood (Sibling Rivalry Press, 2013) and Handmade Love (A Midsummer Night's Press, 2010). She is editor of Milk & Honey: A Celebration of Jewish Lesbian Poetry (A Midsummer Night's Press, 2011). Milk & Honey was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Poetry. She is the editor of Sinister Wisdom, a multicultural lesbian literary and art journal, and a regular book reviewer for the Lambda Book Report and Calyx.
Enszer has her MFA and PhD from the University of Maryland.
