Aurangzeb, I Don't Luv U get poor opening at Box Office
Aurangzeb and I Don't Luv U (IDLU) are the most-hyped and much-awaited Hindi films. Released in theatres today, both the movies featuring young actors in the leads, have received an average response at the Indian Box Office. Aurangzeb has a little better footfalls than that of I Don't Luv U. Trade experts say that the former is expected to show big jump, while the latter would suffer setback over the weekend.
Yash Raj Films' latest production Aurangzeb starring Arjun Kapoor, Prithviraj, Jackie Shroff, Rishi Kapoor, Amrita Singh and Sasheh Agha in leads, was expected to debut with 40%-50% occupancy, but the movie has registered 20%-25% occupancy in both multiplexes and single screens in the morning and matinee shows. With the movie getting mixed reviews, the hardcore slick action-drama is likely to pick-up in the evening and night shows.
Whereas I Don't Luv U, another release of this week, has a very poor amount of footfalls. It has opened to an of 5%-10% occupancy in the morning and matinee shows across the country. The movie garnered negative reviews from film critics and even movie buffs are spreading a bad word of mouth. Trade analysts feel that the movie may not do good collection at the domestic Box Office over the weekend.

May 12...Happy British Sandwich Week Pt.2!

Blogger of the Day: Becky at Veghotpot
I love sandwiches too much to just do one post. Plus I found this ridiculicious recipe…soooo crazygood! Becky gives you options to make it as a salad or as a sandwich. Make the sandwich! Make one for breakfast, then lunch, then dinner. Okay, throw in her Vegan BLT's too. And a few of those screamingly amazing Vegan Welsh Rarebits. Thank you Becky…you are a Sandwich Week Queen! 🙂

Interesting fact I learned this week…for lunch, if you give an American guy a bag of chips, most often he'll rip off the top and chow down himself. In the UK he'll usually tear the back seam, spread the bag open and share with his mates. 🙂
What do you like on the side of your sammie…fries? pickles? chips? Do you share? 😉

If it's a cold sandwich then crisps (or potato chips as you Americans call them!) but chips (or fries!) if it's a hot sandwich 🙂
That UK rule on chips/crisps is generally a pub rule – meaning it usually happens in pubs (bars)! Elsewhere, people tend to keep crisps to themselves.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Has anyone seen this guy's work?! I've been following his work for a couple years now on DA and I have to say that he is one impressive motherphurker.
He is currently working on some personal projects and art for the new movie based of WWZ (from the author who brought us "The Zombie Survival Guide"). He just uploaded A HUGE FRIGGIN' PIECE and I just have to share it.
Full Piece.
The rest of his work is amazing, his character art (one thing he does prolifically) is extremely well done... it's just ungh. He adds so many little details it's just annoying how good he's gotten at it. I know it sounds like I'm gushing or something, but bog-damn it's just so good, like a willy wonka bar to the eyes good.

Battle cry of freedom : the Civil War era (original 1988; edition 1988)
by James M. McPherson
Work details
Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era by James M. McPherson (Author) (1988)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good epic book, but I do prefer Shelby Foote.
Every single time I start to write a review for Battle Cry for Freedom I come up with the same word - "comprehensive". It seems as if everyone and their brother uses this same word when writing a review. I guess it's appropriate because it definitely fits. Said another way: if the era, the climate of the times before, during and after the Civil War was an inanimate object it's as if McPherson studied it from every possible angle; getting on his knees, using a ladder to stand over it, circling around and around it to describe every little thing he sees, careful to leave not a single observation out. The end result is a comprehensive (there's that word again) view of what our fledgling country looked like. You'll meet Fire Eaters, Know Nothings, Butternuts, Copperheads, Knights of the Golden Circle, Whigs and the Free Soil Party in addition to the usual suspects like Robert E. Lee, Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and John Brown, just to name a few. You'll see the country from an early economic and sociological standpoint. Industry and religion find their way into patriotism and what it meant to be independent.
The civil war was a pivotal moment in american history and in the making of the country. McPherson's work esposes in a readable way the decisives facts of the ephoc and gives a fundamented account of its meaning. The author made an impressive research about the matter, telling the story with a slightly sympathy for the Union cause. A great book that leads to a great reading.
Absolutely the best comprehensive Civil War book I have ever read. It not only provides you with much in depth analysis and covers all the main points of the War thoroughly, but it also reads almost like a novel. In that I never got the bored feeling that often accompanies non fiction books that cover such a vast topic. It kept me interest from cover to cover and I would highly recommend that if you are destined to only read one book over the American Civil War, Battle Cry of Freedom should without question be you number one choice. Just a great, great book.
Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson; (5*)
This volume is one of the most comprehensive studies of the Civil War period that addresses every aspect of the war. McPherson does an excellent job of setting the context. He describes the changing demographics, economics, politics and policies of the United States in the 19th century. He covers the institution of slavery; how it developed and how southerners sought its expansion. He discusses the impact of westward growth and the war with Mexico; the series of compromises as new states became part of the union along with the increasing divisions as those compromises failed to appease both sides. And lastly the secession of the southern states after Lincoln was elected president is covered. I especially appreciated the details of the months when secession spread which includes the stated rationales of the seceding states and the maneuvers that led to the firing on Fort Sumter.
The discussion of the war covers virtually all of the major military campaigns and battles and is accompanied by maps showing Union and Confederate movements. We get to know all the important generals and follow them through their checkered or glorious careers. McPherson is stellar at using anecdotes and/or quotes to convey the character of each general. The strengths and weaknesses of the Union and Confederate armies at certain times or battles are clearly delineated. He also assesses the structures of leadership and the quality of leaders in the Federal Government and in the Confederate states. Lincoln had to contend with political rivals and war opponents, worry over whether foreign nations might recognize the Confederacy, defend his Emancipation Proclamation from critics, and agonize over whether he would ever find an effective general to break the southern army and restore the union. Jefferson Davis had the challenge of winning the cooperation of the wildly independent Confederate states to raise sufficient armies, produce enough food, clothes and armaments, and agree on strategy and tactics.
Battle Cry of Freedom is very readable for a nearly 900 page book on nonfiction. It took me nearly 10 days to read it and it is a fascinating read. It held my interest throughout. I found James McPherson to be a masterful author in this field.
I very highly recommend this work.

Wikipedia in English (38)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 019516895X, Paperback)Published in 1988 to universal acclaim, this single-volume treatment of the Civil War quickly became recognized as the new standard in its field. James M. McPherson, who won the Pulitzer Prize for this book, impressively combines a brisk writing style with an admirable thoroughness. He covers the military aspects of the war in all of the necessary detail, and also provides a helpful framework describing the complex economic, political, and social forces behind the conflict. Perhaps more than any other book, this one belongs on the bookshelf of every Civil War buff.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:27 -0400)
Filled with fresh interpretations and information, puncturing old myths and challenging new ones, this fast-paced narrative fully integrates the political, social, and military events that crowded the two decades from the outbreak of one war in Mexico to the ending of another at Appomattox. Packed with drama and analytical insight, the book vividly recounts the momentous episodes that preceded the Civil War: the Dred Scott decision: the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. It then moves into a chronicle of the war itself, the battles, the strategic maneuvering on both sides, the politics, and the personalities. Particularly notable are new views on such matters as the slavery expansion issue in the 1850s, the origins of the Republican Party, the causes of secession, internal dissent and anti-war opposition in the North and the South, and the reasons for the Union's victory.The book's title refers to the sentiments that informed both the Northern and Southern views of the conflict: the South seceded in the name of that freedom of self-determination and self-government for which their fathers had fought in 1776, while the North stood fast in defense of the Union founded by those fathers as the bulwark of American liberty. Eventually, the North had to grapple with the underlying cause of the war--slavery--and adopt a policy of emancipation as a second war aim. This "new birth of freedom," as Lincoln called it, constitutes the proudest legacy of America's bloodiest conflict.This volume makes sense of that vast and confusing "second American Revolution" we call the Civil War, a war that transformed a nation and expanded our heritage of liberty.… (more)

When I go to the edit profile page, I had to input http://www.twitter.com/username
Could it be possible to get the plugin to input the http://www.twitter.com/ part so that all the user has to enter is their username?

So I bought a pack of "Bids" for $30. Then I noticed a couple of Auctions that were taking place that I was interested in. So I placed my bids. The first thing I noticed was how all the auctions had timers that reset every time a bid was placed. Meaning that I blew through $30 in a manner of seconds without anything to show for it.
I had assumed that it was like any other legitimate auction site out there, where you are placing bids and if you get outbid by another person you walk away and get to keep the bids that you placed. I could understand the concept that they may charge for bids. This way it would limit how many people would be bidding and so you could take part in the auction. I couldn't have been more wrong. I have never felt quite a stupid as I did when I realized that I just blew $30 dollars on nothing.
I can not believe that people actually win anything at all on this website. This company is making money hand over fist by intentionally misleading people by labeling themselves as an auction company. Something should be done about this company and fast. I would be happy with my money back and to see it actually be closed down. Never ever go on this site, it is a complete and utter rip-off!

TAS team announce new 2012 backer
Published 22/11/2011
Blue is the colour for Northern Ireland's most successful motorcycle racing team next season.
It was a case of back to the future as Hector and Philip Neill's Moneymore-based TAS Racing team announced their new 2012 title partner and bike at the Motorcycle Live Show in Birmingham.
With the expiry of their six-year deal with energy drink Relentless, the TAS bikes will revert from black to the orginal Suzuki blue and white, under the banner of Tyco Security Products, a world leader in access control, video and intrusion equipment, with a Belfast connection through CEM Systems in the Harbour estate.
The team will be known as Tyco Suzuki on both the international road racing stage and in British Superbikes and yesterday at the NEC, team manager Philip Neill, made it a double header, also announcing his first signing for the 2012 campaign. Josh Brookes will remain with the team for a second year in BSB, and the Australian is confident of being a genuine title contender when the season kicks off in April.
"Although it doesn't make a lot of difference to me personally, I do think it's great that we are back to the base colours of Suzuki and also the original colours first used by Hector Neill many years ago," explained Brookes in his usual straight to the point Aussie style.
TAS, of course, stands for Hector Neill's Temple Auto Salvage business, and Brooks added: "On the racing side of things it makes perfect sense for me to start another year with the same team and basically the same bike.
"It took a while to get used to the Suzuki and, if I'm honest, it was a bit of a shock to the system. But when it did click we proved how good the package is and we finished the year with the fastest ever two-wheel lap around Brands Hatch.
"That has given me all the confidence in the world in the team and the bike. Another bonus is living in Northern Ireland. Right from the word go I fitted in and I'm looking forward to coming back from Australia in February."
The team, will announce their British Motocross line-up this weekend, again in the NEC. Four-time British Motocross champion Stephen Sword is already on the books, with Irishman Stuart Edmonds expected to be snapped up for the MX2 class.
That just leaves the second 'seat' in the BSB team alongside Brookes to be filled, with the enigmatic Guy Martin, of TV and movie fame, almost certain to take the sole ride for Tyco Suzuki on the international roads.
Alastair Seeley won this season's British Supersport title with TAS and is most people's favourite for a return to the premier class, but has opposition in the form of former team member Ian Lowry.

Sam Hoger vs. Ryoto Machida at UFC 67 Confirmed
Sam Hoger vs. Ryoto Machida at UFC 67
UFC 67 is right around the corner on February 3rd in Las Vegas. A while back, soon after it was announced that Quinton Jackson had signed with the UFC, I brought up the possibility of Sam Hoger being Quintons first UFC fight.
This was, of course, before it was announced that Jackson would be fighting Marvin Eastman. Well, now Ive gotten confirmation that Sam Hoger will be fighting Ryoto Machida at UFC 67. Machida has an 8-0 MMA record, and some critics think that he can be a force in the light heavyweight rankings. Personally, Ive seen Machida fight a few times, and he has done nothing that spectacular to impress me. He does hold victories over Vernon White, Rich Franklin, Stephan Bonnar, and B.J. Penn. (The victory over Penn was in K-1.)
machida has got all the tools to be a force in the ufc and is somewhat under rated i think his problem is the same as belfort the mental side
Goes to show you how they feel about Sam Hoger, just like the rest of us do. "Throw him to this monster, throw him to that one." Maybe Machida can beat him out of the UFC for us finally.
I agree I haven't seen anything amazing from Machida, but his victories do stand out. I watched his WFA fight and he didn't look to spectacular to me, didnt' really even look average. We'll see what he has been working on.
Machida will give another quailty fighter to that division and could help shake things up. But I do agree it all depends on his mental atitude.
check out this interview with hoger..he is a goofy ass dude. he calls out forrest at the end, and gives a new explanation on the stealing. the best part about it is on youtube.com the interview is called sausage tits interview.YouTube - Sausage Tits Interview
here is another interview after the rashad fight.YouTube - Sam Hoger After Fight Interview
Hoger is really touchy feely in that Sausage Tits interview. I mean, wow, was there ever a moment where he was not touching the interviewer? I don't like "Golly, gee" Sam. I want smug Sam. Smug Sam was great. "Aw, shucks, guy" Sam really sucks.
Lyoto vs Hoger will either be quick & fun, or long & boring. I love me song Lyoto, but I don't think he's going to light the world on fire in his UFC debut. I hope I'm wrong.

It's Just a Jump to The Left
The Cubs finished up their organizational meetings in Arizona and as expected, they'll attempt to find some left-handed bats.
''We're going to try to add some different wrinkles, offensively
especially,'' Piniella told the Sun-Times. ''We are going to add
left-handed hitting to this mix. From an offensive standpoint, that is
definitely the No. 1 priority. And if we can get a little more athletic
in the process, we're going to do that, too.''
I think we all knew that was going to be the plan, but the big question will be what can they afford. Crane Kenney has already backed off his earlier statements that the Cubs will raise their payroll next season, citing the worldwide economic slowdown as the main culprit along with a curious case of content over the current Cubs roster.
''I don't want to get into payroll speculation until Jim and
[assistant GM Randy Bush] and their team have done their work,'' said
Cubs chairman Crane Kenney, who nonetheless made it clear he doesn't
expect the kind of jumps that increased the payroll from in the $90
millions in 2006 to $130 million by the end of this season.
''I'm not sure we're going to have any major offseason moves that
would require significant payroll capacity,'' Kenney added. ''We'll
leave that to Jim and Randy and the guys to work through, and we'll see
where we are in a couple of weeks. ... We try not to lose sight of the
fact that we won 97 games for a reason. We have a core that's pretty
damn good.''
Yes, the Cubs outscored everybody in the NL last year and if they returned everyone from last season, I'm rather confident they would still be one of the best teams in the NL, possibly even better with a few more starts going to Rich Harden. Yet, they'd still be vulnerable to a right-heavy pitching staff again in the playoffs and it's never a good idea to stay content, no matter the previous successes.
The short list of left-handed bats worth looking at for next season:
Free Agents
Mark Teixeira -1B
Adam Dunn - LF
Jason Giambi - 1B
Bobby Abreu - RF/LF
Milton Bradley - CF/RF
Orlando Hudson - 2B
Rafael Furcal - SS
Ken Griffey Jr. - RF/CF (team option)
Jim Edmonds - CF
Raul Ibanez - LF
Garret Anderson - LF
Brian Giles - RF (team option)
There also might be some trade targets like Brian Roberts or Aubrey Huff of the Orioles, but a little too early to speculate on who might be available and at what cost. And much like last season where the Cubs went after Kosuke Fukudome in free agency before exploring trade talks for players like Nick Swisher or Raul Ibanez, I imagine the Cubs will do it again this season.
If I were a betting man, either Rafael Furcal or Orlando Hudson will be a Cub next season with the Cubs likely putting another full-court press on Furcal like they did three years ago...this time without McFail there to cockblock Hendry. This will make it easy for Lou to move Soriano down in the order and give Lou that flexibility (in other words more speed) in the lineup. If that was the only move to the lineup, you could see something like this versus righties.
Furcal, Lee, Soriano, Ramirez, Soto, Fukudome, DeRosa, Pie
And with Mike Fontenot in the mix, we could see plenty of Fontenot in there instead of Fukudome with DeRosa moving to right field. Fontenot is also the reason I think the Cubs will make Furcal their number one priority over Hudson, as he already give the Cubs the flexibility to move DeRosa around. If Furcal alludes them again and they can sign Hudson, it could look a little like this versus righties.
Theriot, Hudson, Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, Soto, Fukudome/Pie, DeRosa
That still leaves the middle of the order lacking a left-handed presence so I don't expect the Cubs to stop there. I don't think they'll make a big move, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs go after Raul Ibanez or Brian Giles if his option is declined by the Padres which seems likely considering they've entered cost-cutting mode. I think there's a small chance they go after Milton Bradley, but injury and attitude concerns will always be there with him.
That would pretty much make Fukudome battle for a spot in the lineup, likely with Felix Pie in center field. While the changes aren't drastic, I'm not sure the Cubs need to make drastic moves for a team that already scored the most runs in the league, just a few subtle improvements to help balance out the lineup. And with already $109M committed in payroll next year and a few spots to fill on the pitching side, just adding Furcal and Ibanez would add plenty to their payroll, although with Hendry's mastery of the back-loaded deal, it might not be that big of an issue for 2009.
Now Hendry might surprise us all and find some takes for Derrek Lee and Jason Marquis and then get in on the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes and trust me I'm all for it. I just don't see there being much of a market for either Lee or Marquis. Lee has a no-trade clause, declining skills and $26 M left on his deal. No-trade clauses get waived all the time, but it usually takes some incentive to do so and then you're likely getting into paying part of Lee's contract which would sort of defeat the whole purpose. Marquis can be traded against his will but at almost $10M there's just no way the Cubs will unload that without paying a healthy portion of it. If it's $1-2M out of the Cubs pockets, it might be worth it still, but if they're going to start having to pay half or more, how much of a benefit will that really be?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
why does Hendry have an elbow growing out of his head?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
it's called color correction, son. you should know about it!
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Give the guy a break. He's still all broken up about the NLDS.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
If they go after Ibanez...who, living in Seattle, I have a great appreciation for...what do you envision the outfield to look like? I ask this assuming you see Soriano in right? Old Man Giles can play right, but I'm pretty sure Raul cannot.
I've mentioned it in the past, but even when they lose, Ibanez still gets big cheers from the crowd. He's a huge fan favorite, and it seems, quite a lead by example sort of guy.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
And in the FWIW column:
Talking to a good friend who went to Penn and was in the football fraternity house there. I asked him if Mark DeRosa was in the same house. Nonchalantly he was like, "yeah" he was a year behind me.
And I'm thinking "You never thought to mention this before?"
Not that it's a big deal but you think he would have said something.
Re: Brewers guy gets Seattle GM job
I wouldn't be overly surprised if Ichiro was traded. I would love to have him. Oh man, my pants just got tight.
Re: Brewers guy gets Seattle GM job
Ichiro is Viagra in Japanese?
If we get Ichiro
then him and Soriano then they can have a competive contest of who can walk the least. Ichiro's whole game is based on speed and for a 32 yo guy making major coin for alot of years, I dont think that would a wise investment.
Re: If we get Ichiro
Um, no, his game isn't based entirely speed. He is fast, yes, but he's also a fantastic defender (glove, arm and speed) and has great contact. They're not all infield singles that he hits, believe it or not. But, despite being 32, he is still very fast. Ichiro doesn't walk much, but that's because he gets so many hits...over 200 every year of his MLB career.
And seriously, you're warning against getting Ichiro by comparing him to Soriano? Is it because they're polar opposite baseball players? And...you do realize that Soriano is good, right?
Besides, he's said that toward the end of his career he wants to become a pitcher, so we'd have that going for us.
Re: If we get Ichiro
When he starts to lose some speed, his defense will go down because he wont be able to get to as much balls as he does now. Infact a lost of speed might affect his arm as he wont be able to get himself into the best possible throwing postion if it takes him a little longer to get to the ball. For a guy who relies on infield hits for a fifth to a quarter of his hits, if he looses half of his infield hits, he is going to be a .285/335/350/685 guy who is not worth the money he will be making. I think he is a good player, but at 35 you have to wonder how many prime years this guy has left. I think its 2 at most.
Re: If we get Ichiro
For a guy who relies on infield hits for a fifth to a quarter of his hits, if he looses half of his infield hits
Huh? According to Fangraphs, 12.2% of his hits have been infield hits.
Re: If we get Ichiro
I was just dividing 200 by 50, but I still stand by my point that when his skills go it will be a sharp decline.
Re: If we get Ichiro
Except your point is wrong based on the stats.
Cutting 12% of hits in half is much different than cutting 20-25% of his hits.
Re: If we get Ichiro
Oh yeah, sorry...I didn't even bother to fact check the dude's age reference. Anyway...
Re: If we get Ichiro
What's more, Ichiro might be able to give Fuku some transitional pointers.
Re: I shouldn't bring this up
Aw fuck. I'll be back in a week or so...
Re: I shouldn't bring this up
More importantly, take off that ugly fucking RHPS picture!
Re: I shouldn't bring this up
No...it just scares me. Much like the thought of Palin in the White House. Zinger!
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
wonder where this left handed bat goes...
possible open slots pending trade...SS, CF...
im not giving up RF yet cuz fukudome is getting some serious loot and he came to play...i don't see him as a bench player.
im not giving up 2nd cuz derosa is too good to play off the bench...and he's shown it the past 2 years becoming one of the best deals in baseball for a middle IF'r. you guys see the contract mark ellis got from Mr. Moneyball a few days ago...2yr/11m?
you definitely want hoffpower on the bench (i'm not getting into trade scenerios right now...esp. ones that involve dlee)...you pretty much have to carry pie...johnson is also in the bench mix.
i don't see much happening without trades, myself...
i get the feeling they want a lefty bat to stick between dlee/aram/soto somewhere since fuku isnt much of a #5 hitter. eventually soriano needs to join that middle-lineup group even if not in 09.
just kicking the situation around as it stands...anyone see anything else?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
i did...im just looking for "as it stands" to take a base of where the team is.
basically not even going to "step 1"...just taking stock and not assuming trade partners/targets yet.
only assumption im laying out is derosa/fukudome staying a starter somewhere on the field...
i believe a trade is gonna happen...there's too much good stuff on the bench. there's just so much to kick around in possibilities.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Fukudome to CF, add a LHH to RF---Abreu, Bradley, or Hemedia(trade from Fla), add switch hitting type middle inf, trade DLee---need 4 LHH in line-up---1B, CF, RF, and in the middle----cannot continue to into the play-offs with a RHH line-up vs the good play-off teams who have RHP--Hendrey will get this done
burb broonley
bob brenley has his interview with MIL tommorow (manager).
given how close to the cubs he has been and the past WS win...well...there's more than a passing chance len will have a new partner next year.
Re: Rays vs. Phillies Wives
for some reason, you're URL's are not clickable links again
Re: Rays vs. Phillies Wives
I guess Rob's link lets us see what Cole Hamels sees in Heidi Hamels. Good Lord Almighty!
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
The Unathletic thing is what makes me wonder.
Here's our 'standard' lineup:
The 'unathletic' guys there are three of our four best hitters, and besides Soto, they all have NTC's.
So which unathletic guy are they talking about? Rob thinks it's Theriot, but he just got finished telling m Theriot is fast. Fast + Shortstop would equal athletic to me. Lee? He's the position playing team leader, and has lost some foot speed, but with the exception of Soriano he's probably the only one on the team who could have played D1 basketball. He's also still a helluva first basemen.
I wonder if The Fontenaught will have some more trade value now. Will a Fontenaught, Marshall (assuming Hill is good to go), Ceda package start to look intriguing to the Orioles now that Roberts is a year closer to Free Agency?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
it stinks of "we're gonna make a run at furcal" to me.
i wonder how much he's worth in this market. even coming off an injury season "average" middle infielders who are starters seem to be worth 5m a year as it is (im not calling furcal average, btw).
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I'll call Furcal average.
His career OPS+ is 96. He was a good hitter in a small sample last year, but the year before he hit .270 .333 .355 (Rob G can probably let us know if he was hurt) with 25 SB's, essentially he's Ryan Singles, only costs 10 x as much and can switch hit, assuming he stays healthy.
Jeff Blauser2.0
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
isnt an OPS+96 good for a SS? I wasnt too high on getting him last time because of the DUI stuff (he was bascially 1 DUI from a 6 month jail term, which likely would have gotten him into Visa issues as well) and his habit of wanting to play catch with guys in dugout and stands in the middle of the game. As we saw in the NLCS that is still an issue for him. Assuming he got his DUI exponged for good behavior and a clause is thrown in his contract voiding it if goes on the DL for 2+ months because of his back, (or gets thrown in jail during the season if he drives again after getting his drink on if he is a DUI from a 6 month jail sentance), I would be fine with a 4/34 deal for him, through i'd rather have the O-dog personally.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
this is why looking at one stat only is no way to compare a player
theriot and his 93 ops+ .307 .387 .359 1 hr 38 rbis (on the highest obp team in baseball) 85 runs
furcal (04) 95 ops+ .279 .344 .414 14 hrs 59 rbis 103 runs
not to mention much better at defense
i'll take 2004 furcal any day with his 95 ops+
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
But the thing is the 2004 Rafael Furcal isn't available.
The one who is avaiable hasn't been able to combine a good hitting season with a good defensive season in three years (from the start of 2009).
I agree that a healthy Furcal in theory solves a lot of our problems. In practice though, I don't think there's any such thing as a healthy Furcal.
$5 million with PA incentives, alright. $8 to $10 million guaranteed over thee to four years? No thanks.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Even if you break it down by times on base, you get the reverse of the RBI opportunities thing - it's better to have Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz batting behind you then Ryan Theriot and Rich Harden.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I wonder is slugging percentage has anything to do with that?
Point is, that he can't perform even in the best scenario you can imagine.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
If you threw out first basemen, catchers and fat pitchers, Theriot would be below average. On the Cubs roster other than those positions, I'd probably put him ahead of Aram, about the same as Edmonds, DeRosa and Cedeno.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Yes, that's exactly what I am saying.
It's not that hard to find out - we can time him fom home to first or 1st to 3rd or whatever. I think that you're assuming that because he had some good SB%'s he's much faster than he is. Jason Bay and Kevin McReynolds threw up some good SB numbers - neither of them were ever accused of being fast, or 'having speed' if you prefer that term.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I can agree with you that he maybe was fast six years ago. I don't see it now. I'll get stopwatch and see what I come up with. You'd think you could find some scouting report on the interweb about him, but I sure can't.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
with the exception of Soriano he's [Lee] probably the only one on the team who could have played D1 basketball
Lee was recruited by, and committed to, North Carolina, which agreed to let him play basketball and baseball. But he turned pro when the Padres drafted him 14th.
1993 was an interesting draft:
1. ARod
2. Darren Dreifort
7. Trot Nixon
12. Billy Wagner
14. Derek Lee
15. Chris Carpenter
19. Jay Powell
20. Torii Hunter
21. Jason Varitek
The Cubs had 3 first round picks that year:
10. Brooks Kieschnick
24. Jon Ratliff
29. Kevin Orie
Re: Between the

Re: oh yeah
Worth hit a double, not a single,
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Ryan Theriot is not a great ballplayer.
He is not a power hitter, or a flashy fielder.
Chad, I am sorry that Ryan Theriot stole your girlfriend, or killed your dog, or whatever he did to set you off.
Would I ilke to see Jimmy Rollins, Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, Miguel Tejada, Michael Young, or that type at SS? I would, to name a few.
Theriot had a solid season. He hit for a decent average, got on base at a good clip, and was, despite the bleating of a few, and pointing out a bad error or 2, a decent fielder despite having a below average arm.
He got thrown out stealing way too much. This from a player who was 41 of 46 in steals his first season and a half. Should he be reined in next season? Sure.
He is not the reason the Cubs got swept again.
If the 2004 Furcal isn't available, can we trade for the 1991 Cal Ripken?
A lack of a true leadoff hitter, a lack of good left handed hitting, and a huge suck job by most of the team in general?
Yep...that'll about describe it.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I want a short stop that can field. Theriot is not a 'decent fielder' and he has a horrible arm.

Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.

Stark Reintroduces His Health Care Bill
Jane Zhang reports on health care.
Rep. Pete Stark, on the first day of the new Congress, reintroduced his health care legislation without waiting for details from President-elect Barack Obama.
Stark, the sometimes-prickly chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee's health panel, has introduced versions of the overhaul legislation for the last 15 years, and recently said he wanted to wait for Obama to spell out his priorities so lawmakers can work to "accomplish his goals." A spokesman for Stark said the bill, designed to provide health-care coverage for all Americans, fits within the framework Obama set during the presidential campaign.
Under the Stark bill, Americans could obtain health insurance either through their employers or through a Medicare-like program the congressman calls "AmeriCare." Unlike the Obama outline, the bill doesn't include a national insurance exchange, where private insurers could compete with a public plan.
"As Barack Obama takes office and sets the direction for reform efforts, Congress is poised to work with him to make comprehensive health reform a reality," the California Democrat said in a statement Tuesday. The bill, he said, will "provide useful templates for achieving universal health coverage in America and are consistent with many of the principles outlined by the President-elect."

I lived a lonely childhood along with my parents strict religion with no holidays, I didn't have any friends or invited to any party's. I was hated for many reasons. In the SE room, I just mostly sat there and was told the answers, so I didn't learn. This all also happened at my own home and same things done by my own so called family. Never forgot one day driving by the mental institute, my parents mocked me and all my family agreed I would end up there. I have learning disability and I never have or will stoop there there ground level. Was always told what I can't do. About Me:I am a proud mother of three beautiful amazing kids. Regardless of my LD, it is my dream to write a true love story.

Living free of false perceptions
In the months leading up to my decision to create this blog, I was deep within my own family history research. One person asked me this question which I answered boldly:
I have analyzed that question countless times. The word race was never one that invoked the kind of feelings like the term I use for my people: family (or heritage). My ancestors come in different colors. I have applied the same efforts in identifying each one. There are some of every shade in my family today. They are mostly lawyers, doctors, judges, teachers, and other professions. They love each other, and they love to serve each other.
My concept of family goes beyond this to include every person of the human family on the face of this earth without regard to color, religion, or ethnicity, but I realize the question asked of me pertained to my being an African American. There is implied an element of surprise or curiosity that I would have some feelings other than shame.
Unfortunately, these experiences are not few or far between, and they serve a purpose for me. Of course, the purpose for me is not to attempt to reason or to try to persuade the heart or mind of another. Paradigm shifts are personal, and challenges will only cause you to be perceived as the one who brings offense.
No, this question has empowered me to work to make sure that the same false precept:
- does not limit the young school boy or girl left unchallenged by a teacher who believes it is not worth the effort to inspire to greater heights.
- does not shame a man or woman into having apathy toward members of the community whose problems could be eased by a kind word or deed.
- does not discourage us from researching, documenting, and preserving our history for future generations.

'Vital Speeches of the Day'
I treasure all the recorded interviews that I have conducted and transcribed. Each time I reflect back on them and take them out to listen or review, I feel so much more connected to my forebears. I never want to get so lost in the records that I forget that I can learn just as much from the stories that survived too. Records are important, but not as important as the life lessons that were passed down through oral history.
My interviewees are full of so much wisdom and advice. I know that the principles my ancestors lived by helped them to be happy and successful. It is my lifelong task to keep recording and preserving as much as I can.
I have worked to pass these same values on to the next generation. People who do not share my heritage sometimes remark that it must be a great burden for my child to be put under so much responsibility. I smirk inside when I consider what might have happened if my parents had somehow decided I did not need to be overburdened by expectations to do better than the generation before. I am glad I belong to a family that set high values and expectations because I would not be the person I am today. I wake up every day hoping to make myself and the world a better place.
In this interview from 2005, I was able to learn more details about my great great grandparent's and their children. I always love asking what folks looked like and what they learned from the old sayings.
It is so rewarding to dive into records to try to document the things I learn from the oral history shared. The interviews I have served me over and over as I turn to them to glean more information time after time.
This was no different with the interview of my grandmother Otis' cousin. It was wonderful to hear the names of the different family groups in birth order. One of the questions I asked her was what her father, Pettis Chick, taught her. She said she remembered him telling her to work hard and be obedient.
Then she mentioned her Uncle Clarence, my grandmother's uncle. He and his wife taught at Fayetteville Teacher's College in North Carolina (Fayetteville State University), and she said Uncle Clarence wrote to her and gave her some advice: "Read your bible. Study your Negro history, and save your money." I received that advice as if it had come to me directly from my ancestors. My great uncle Clarence was taught well.
At the end of rereading the interview, I remembered a few years ago when I was coming through the Palmetto Leader on microfilm at the Richland Library. I remember stopping to look at an article and a photo of C. A. Chick who was affiliated with Benedict College. I remember feeling he was related to me, but I had no proof so I kept spinning the reel right past him.
That picture of C. A. Chick has stayed in my mind. I learned through oral history that this branch of my family all attended Benedict College. The person in the photograph I now know would have been Uncle Clarence. I must go back to retrieve it because it will give us an idea of what he looked like before he moved to Fayetteville.
Uncle Clarence must have a really strong connection with me because I also stumbled upon a photo of him and his wife in two different yearbooks for Fayetteville on Ancestry. The citation on the yearbook mentions Benedict College which leads me to believe I really did pass up that photo of him on microfilm. I e-mailed the yearbook photos to my mother as a surprise, and this was her response:
"I went on the computer and found uncle Chick and his wife! It brought tears to my eyes, because he was the one who wanted mom and dad to send me to North Carolina to go to college free. He was a Professor there then. I remember having met him in Union at one time when I was a kid, and Daddy took us to North Carolina to see them when we were little." - My Mom.
It seems that I must continue and gather the history that remains at Fayetteville State University. In the process of writing this article, I discovered there is a building there named after Uncle Clarence's second wife: Helen T. Chick. In addition to that, I discovered a speech given by Uncle Clarence:
Social and Moral Obligations of High School Graduates. It appears in a periodical entitled Vital Speeches of the Day (8/15/59, Vol. 25 Issue 21, p658).
If that does not bring enough excitement to me, I discovered other resources in the process of writing this article, and I will be sharing my thoughts on each one after I have time to review them all.

The Role of Higher Education in Transmitting Democratic Ideals Into Behavior Patterns
I am past words knowing that my quest has led me right back to Rev. C. A. Chick, my great uncle, and professor of economics and American History. It makes me feel good to be able to do this work of keeping the causes of our loved ones alive. We are all still connected when we can perform the tasks that make us so. I like to think my Uncle Clarence has come to know me as I have come to know him, and I hope he is happy to see that I am following his admonition to "Study your Negro history."

Intel: It seems that Google has started to prepare for the release of Chromebooks considering Intel's upcoming Haswell processor, ZDNet reports. Last week, Google software engineer Stefan Reinauer, who works on boot code for Chromebooks' ChromeOS, committed Haswell-related code changes to Coreboot, which si a fast boot open source BIOS replacement for Linux systems. Google Chrome OS vendor support was added to Coreboot last year, and Reinauer wrote: "Google's Chrome OS can be booted super fast and safely using Coreboot". Reinauer's new Haswell-related code commits this week included haswell: use dynamic cbmem and haswell boards: support added chromeos function. Haswell is the codename for Intel's anticipated 22nm chip, whose low power drain is targeted at mobile devices. According to Intel, Haswell-based devices could possibly get double the battery life versus devices using its third generation Ivy Bridge processors.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — The town ceased to exist this week — at least on the Internet.
The town's official website went down for three days from Saturday evening after the domain name expired. It was offline until Monday evening.
"The domain didn't get renewed," Town Manager Perry Ellsworth said. "The old company that used to manage it for us went out of business."
The town never received the renewal paperwork to keep the site active, he said. The town's IT contractor, Two-Way Communications, stepped in to resolve the problem.
Ellsworth wasn't sure how much the town pays for the domain name or how frequently it must be renewed. He said those details have traditionally been managed by outside providers.

Why Marketers Ignore Sustainability — but Shouldn't
A lack of interest from consumers, a presumed high risk factor and a perception that sustainability is boring, expensive or too complicated are some of the reasons given by marketing professionals for failing to promote a green business model, writes Rainforest Alliance president Tensie Whelan in a column for The Guardian.
Whelan says marketers ignore sustainability at their own peril. A typical argument made by marketing professionals is that surveys show that only around 10 percent to 15 percent of consumers actively seek out sustainable products. Instead, Whelan writes that marketers' job is to make consumers want a product they think they don't — and sustainability should not be any different.
There is always a risk when trying a new strategy, and using sustainability as a marketing tool carries these risks. Whelan says it's unusual for companies to lose market share by embracing sustainability and points to McDonalds and UK tea brand PG Tips increasing their sales after using sustainable products.
Furthermore, despite its often dry subject matter, there is no need for sustainability as a subject to be boring, too complicated or expensive, Whelan writes. The article uses the example of the "Follow the Frog" viral video (pictured) produced to promote Rainforest Alliance-certified products. The video reached 1.2 million people and won a TED award.
A study published in June found that so-called meaningful brands outperformed the stock market by 120 percent. Havas Media Group researchers defined the most meaningful brands as those that systematically improve personal and collective well-being of consumers and are rewarded by stronger brand equity and attachment.
The 12 measures of well-being considered include the environment and a "natural" measure. Exactly how much of that good feeling comes from a brand's environmental performance, Havas didn't say – though it did note that people in emerging markets place relatively more importance on environmental impacts.
Earlier this month, Walmart and Twentieth Century Fox partnered to promote eco-friendly brands including Brita, Burt's Bees, Glad, Green Works and Clorox — and the studio's home-video launch of "Epic," an environmentally themed animated film.
Walmart launched its Epic Green Warriors campaign — each product, such as Glad compostable trash bags and Brita water bottles and filters, has an Epic Warrior sticker — at 2,800 stores to help boost pre-orders for the kids movie, which will become available on DVD and Blu-ray Aug. 20, according to Variety.
Reader Comments
If you want to encourage businesses to "go green", the only way to do this is for someone to demonstrate how doing so can improve a business's bottom line. This is where marketing can benefit environmentalists by showing practical examples of companies (i.e. Walmart, 20th Century Fox, etc.) saving money and improving their bottom line in the process.
I envision the day when some smart executive at McDonald's (or whoever) does a commercial where he/she is talking to the camera and says "The reason that we are Promoting environmentally sound practices isn't because we care about our global community, but rather because of… (and at this point, the CEO pushes a button on a cash register and a drawer full of money opens up).
Hey, I can dream can't I?
