As one of the world's most populous cities – and a city atop most travellers' must-visit lists – Beijing has literally thousands of restaurants to choose from, with an endless array of cuisines from cultures all over the Asian continent and the world. Opportunities to splurge on fine dining abound; while budget diners are more than catered for with a huge assortment of family-run operations, serving quality, cheap eats throughout the city.
Peking duck (Beijing Roast Duck) is a reason in itself to visit Beijing. Beijing on a plate, the dish is intrinsically linked to the city via name – Beijing translates to Peking – and tradition. Prepared since the imperial era and now deemed a national food, Peking duck is iconic and served at hundreds of eateries throughout the Chinese capital. Beijing's most famous Peking duck restaurants include: DaDong, Li Qun and Quanjude in the Dongcheng District, and Duck de Chine in the Chaoyang District.
The Hot Pot is another great example of traditional Beijing fare. The stew comprised of thinly sliced beef, mutton and fresh vegetables is generally made in two varieties: Mongolian style and Sichuan style. Particularly favoured during the city's freezing-cold winters, Hot Pot dishes are sold at countless eateries across Beijing. Restaurants like Tian Yi Shun in the Haidian District, Golden Paddy in the Chaoyang District, and Hongyuan, Little Sheep and Dong Lai Shun franchises, are the city's favourite Hot Pot hotspots.
To experience the true essence of Beijing's food culture, a trip to one of the city's many snack (food) streets is a must-do. Hundreds of different snacks, showcasing flavours from cultures such as Hui, Mongolian and Manchurian, and the imperial styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties, fill a multitude of stalls and restaurants in streets across the Beijing. Jiumen Snacks is made up of street food vendors tucked inside the narrow Hutongs. Wangfujing Snack Street is Beijing's most famous snack street, a popular tourist destination that sells exotic street foods such as deep fired insects, scorpions and animal parts. Guijie (Ghost Street) operates around the clock and is particularly famous for hot and spicy shrimps. While Fucheng Street is one of the city's most upscale food streets, featuring dozens of upmarket restaurants serving a multitude of cuisines.
Explore the capital's cuisine in all its glory, pick up a copy of That's Beijing or City Weekend and taste Beijing.
Beijing has a wealth of shopping opportunities. Almost anything imaginable is sold in the Chinese capital and often at outrageously low prices. Expansive malls complement small boutiques, while sprawling markets compete for trade with small dealers. Everything from kitsch souvenirs to luxury fashion can be found in a number of the city's shopping precincts.
Wangfujing Street is Beijing's most famous shopping street. Located in the heart of the city, close to Tiananmen Square, the street features two western-style modern malls, traditional department stores, souvenir stores, and a side street with traditional Chinese food stalls.
The Xiu Shui market, known as "Silk Street", is an inner city one-stop tourist shopping paradise. The market's shop assistants are helpful and speak English well, hawking almost everything under the sun, most famously silk by the roll.
Hong Qiao Market in the south central Beijing, just east of the Temple of Heaven, is an indoor mall with a seafood market and floors upon floors of cheap electronic goods, accessories, toys and household goods
Those in the know and locals prefer to shop at Xi Dan – a huge commercial area in the Xicheng District. The precinct's northern section is populated with markets, malls and small shops; while the western section, in particular the Grand Pacific Mall, is a go-to for brand name shopping, featuring world-renowned labels like Wranger, Elle Homme, Pierre Cardin, Vans and Lids. The Xi Dan precinct is also home to Seasons Place, Beijing's most exclusive shopping address, which hosts high-end labels such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, and Versace, as well as more affordable well-known brands like Calvin Klein, Esprit, Guess, Nine West and Swatch.
Sanlitun Yashou Clothing Market in Beijing's east is a must-visit for tailor-made suits and dresses. The ultra-modern shopping complex is populated by five floors of fashion, featuring big brand name and independently-operated market stalls.
Bargaining is encouraged at most Beijing markets, but not in boutiques or department stores. And despite the Chinese government's efforts to eradicate fake goods, fakes abound and return policies are almost non-existent – so buyers beware.

Not so fast, my friend: Jones denies rumors circling CU
BOULDER � Butch Jones said he hasn�t agreed to become the football coach at the University of Colorado.
In a text message to The Associated Press on Wednesday night, Jones called a report that he�s accepted the position �absolutely false.�
The University of Cincinnati coach has been weighing his options since meeting with athletic director Mike Bohn and other Colorado officials Monday.
Asked about the hiring, Bohn said in the text that �our process is not complete.�
The university later issued a statement: �We are still in the active process of hiring our next head football coach. We have nothing to confirm at this time, and no deal with anyone has been reached.�
Jones is Colorado�s top choice to replace Jon Embree, who was fired last week.

Toyota announced yesterday that they would recall 3.8 million cars in the United States in what is the largest ever U.S. recall. The removable floor mats can cause the accelerator to stick and push vehicles to speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour. Toyota is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a fix.
They advise that you remove the floor mat on the driver's side immediately.
The following vehicles are affected:
- 2007-2010 model year Toyota Camry
- 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon
- 2004-2009 Toyota Prius
- 2005-2010 Tacoma
- 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra
- 2007-2010 Lexus ES350
- 2006-2010 Lexus IS250 and IS350.
Their advice, if the car is accelerating out of control, is to step on the brake pedal with both feet, then try to put the car into neutral and switch the ignition to accessory power (where only the radio is on). Don't turn off the power or the steering wheel will lock up. If you have a start/stop button, like in the Prius, you can hold the button down for three seconds to shut off the engine.

We personally use the Phosphate low range in house as it is accurate enough and we do not need to convert the reading from Phosphorous to Phosphate. While the Ultra Low range will give extra decimal placed to your answer We find this is not the most important. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The phosphate checker itself comes with enough reagent for 5 tests. Reagent refills are sold in packs of 25 and can be found right here:
One of the first steps every time you test is to zero out the meter, then you add reagent and test the actual sample. This is done every test but It does not require any sort of extra calibration procedure on top of that.

Great.. packaging needs improvement. By Yus on 9/26/2016Yus would recommend this product to a friendThe product it's great and easy to use. Take away from having to match colors. However, the packages the reagent comes in need to be replaced with a scoop method because it's hard to get all the power out of the packages.
Unsure of accuracy By Mark on 9/3/2016Mark wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIva had this a couple weeks now and have yet to get a reading above 0.00 after 4 tests. I run hc gfo but should still have some phosphates right?
Really only 6 tests By Jaimeadams on 7/15/2016Jaimeadams wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI am disappointed with the fact that it only comes with enough regent for 6 tests. Sure the digital read out is awesome and very helpful, but I really feel that for the price I should be able to test more than 6 times before having to give them more of my money
Easy to use By Eric Johnson on 4/6/2016Eric Johnson would recommend this product to a friendI hate trying to match colors on tests (ok, I'm also slightly red-green colorblind so that doesn't help!) and this makes it so much easier. Doesn't come with very many test packets so if you'll be doing a lot of testing you'll want refills but they're pretty inexpensive.
Dies right after warranty By SD Reefer on 4/6/2016SD Reefer wouldn't recommend this product to a friendProblems with the light sensor the minute the 6 month warranty was up. Randomly worked and then completely dead. Tech support offered up $95/hour service or they said I'm welcome to order a another from them. Don't think so. The results I was able to get when it worked were extremely varied and I couldn't stand trying to get all the powder out of those tiny packets. Need to rethink design on those. Not pleased unfortunately.
Great Checker By KerryF on 3/29/2016KerryF would recommend this product to a friendOne star off for those silly packets for the reagent. Works well and seems very accurate. Lid seems to have a hard time staying closed with a vial in it the checker...no big deal really.
Nice for Accurate Low Range Testing By Michael on 3/18/2016Michael would recommend this product to a friendLike many other Hanna checkers this product takes the guess work out of phosphate testing. I have a special loathing for trying to decipher color coded phosphate test kits and this helps me solve that issue. I had to take 1 star off because getting the power into the vial is brutal, and I mean brutal.
It works, just have to get use to the reagents. By jay on 3/5/2016jay would recommend this product to a friendGood too have two vials. One to set the checker, the other one to have the reagent all ready mixed.
Pointless By Coverttadpole on 1/20/2016Coverttadpole wouldn't recommend this product to a friendSave your money. I get more accurate results using API phosphate test and its significantly less money. Measures ppm just like API however the Hanna checker shows 0.00 and API shows 0 to 0.25 ppm. Even contacted Hanna to see if it was broke and their first response was to buy the HI736. So they seem to be aware that it's junk. Also, once you open the box it's yours. Bulk reef supply does not except returns on opened items. A little hard to consider buying a second piece of equipment when the first one doesn't work as it should. Also bought the HI758 calcium checker that works flawless. Watch the YouTube video as the instructions are not clear.
Works great By Bruce on 12/17/2015Bruce would recommend this product to a friend'Reagent packets are difficult to open and pour into vial without spilling any. Otherwise it works great.
Not for Reefers By ReefDoc on 10/29/2015ReefDoc wouldn't recommend this product to a friendFirst and foremost, if you are a reefer, this is not the checker for you. The ULR is the right one for a reefer. This will measure to an accuracy of +/- 0.04 but as a reefer you want 0 to 0.03 so that makes this useless. Oh and the packets of reagents are not good at all, come on Hanna get the proper reagents made already.
Love that you get an exact readout. By Matthew on 10/26/2015Matthew would recommend this product to a friendThis would be the ultimate tester if the reagent was alittle easier to manage. You are trying to poor powder from a little pouch into a tiny cylinder you think you got it all then you realize there is still powder stuck in corner of pouch... Then you ask is my test result accurate?? They need to come up with a better solution to adding the powder even if just a bulk buy option that comes in a container with a little scooper like the nyos or salifert powders come. And to top all of that of you are on the clock when you are trying to get this powder into test tube you have three minutes to get powder from pouch to tube without spilling then you need to get it completely mixed into water without air bubbles or finger prints or the machine turns off then you are left to recalibrate machine with different test tube of source water then test water powder is in... Is it accurate???? Exactly hate questionable results but once you get hang of can definitely get a number and much more accurate then any color matching test out there... Just need a better delivery system for reagent and problem solved.

SL TV: Katie Murphy's Senior Success
By: Connor Onion & Alex Seitz | Ball State Sports Link
Grit. Determination. Leadership.
All three are trademarks engrained in Katie Murphy by prior teammates.
As a young post-player yearning to reach her full potential, Murphy took after one of the most accomplished forward's in Ball State Women's Basketball history in Emily Maggert.
Three years Murphy's senior, Maggert secured her place in the Ball State and Mid-American Conference record books during Katie's freshman season. Maggert finished her career as the third-leading scorer and rebounder in program history.
"Emily Maggert," Murphy said. "That's something my coaches were just in my ear about. What a great role model to watch."
Maggert's influence as both a capable basketball player and mentor, paid dividends for Murphy as her collegiate career progressed.
After experiencing the normal growing pains for a college freshman and learning from one of the best, Murphy made the crossover into a leadership role.
"When you guys watch Haley [Richardson], that was me as a freshman", Murphy said.
Understanding how overwhelming the adjustment to the college game can be, Murphy has taken Richardson -- a freshman forward -- under her wing, much like Maggert's encouragement during Katie's freshman season.
If Richardson is seeking guidance from a prolific scorer, she won't find it in Murphy.
You are more likely to catch the 6-foot-0 senior out of Peoria, Ill., on the floor taking a charge or diving for a loose ball, rather than stuffing the stat sheet.
"Katie's not so much of a vocal leader as she is just showing [others] what it takes", senior point guard Brandy Woody said. "She is always that person to tell us to keep our heads up and just keep fighting."
Murphy and Woody represent the 2013-14 team's lone seniors. The duo enters the month of March fighting to recreate a postseason run from a year ago.
Fight is another trait never lacking in a Katie Murphy-led team, exemplified by the Cardinals' upset of Minnesota, 54-51, in the first round of the 2013 Women's National Invitation Tournament.
In typical Murphy fashion, her contributions were not flashy. However, six rebounds and a stingy defensive performance, limiting Gophers' forward Kionna Kellogg to only seven points, went a long way in Ball State securing the triumph.
"We ended up coming out on top," Murphy said. "And it was just one of those moments where you are so happy you could cry."
The signature win in Murphy's career may have never occurred had it not been for her tradition-rich, basketball family.
With Murphy's grandpa coaching, her Dad receiving Division I scholarship offers out of high school and her uncle, Ray Giacoletti, serving as the head coach at Drake, it was inevitable she too would pick up a basketball.
"It was inevitable I was going to play," Murphy said. "The person getting the hustle plays and the rebounds. That's just what I do."
With each defensive close out and dive on the floor for a loose ball, she has created a legacy that will not soon be forgotten.
While known for her work on the glass, rebounding from the graduation of Katie Murphy will be no simple task for Ball State.

Here's some more links if you care to read up on the kid. Sounds like a quality guy: Interview in Sept, 2004 with his alma mater His old Sox Prospect page A bit on him from Sons of Sam Horn
Thanks to ShawndGoldman for the scoop...
23 and in A ball? not even a
23 and in A ball? not even a remote prospect...happy new year to the sox, they got van buren for free.
apperently he had some
apperently he had some shoulder problems when he first signed, slowed his progress. He's no blue-chipper but neither is Van Buren. Despite what we like to all believe, there's not a huge market for middle relief prospects.
I'm guessing Ciaramella begins in Daytona next year.
Looks like he didn't come
Looks like he didn't come out early. Last year was only his first year--doesn't mean he isn't a good prospect.
Chris, He was 23 in A-ball
He was 23 in A-ball because he finished college at the University of Utah, as the post says.
As far as I am familiar, I believe all the guys who *finish* college need a year to adjust to professional ball, and the highest level of A-ball is where they start. So I think he is right on track as far as that is concerned...
I take it this guy was NOT
I take it this guy was NOT on their 40-Man roster as we have no space. So, with no space availible, all these PTBNL we are owed (BALT, BOS, AZ), we really can't expect anyone too good. That is another reason why Grissolm has to be signed to a minor league deal. We have no room left on the roster.
"He's no blue-chipper but
"He's no blue-chipper but neither is Van Buren."
JVB was a 2nd round pick...he had success as a closer at AA, and at AAA...then came to the bigs for a cup of coffee, and, while wild, pitched reasonably well. I would much rather have JVB in the pen than Roberto "Where's the plate" Novoa, or even Wuertz. This Ciaramella sounds like a decent player, but 4 HRs in 225 ABs in A ball does not sound like much of a power hitter to me. I'm just sayin'...
23 is 23, it's great that he
23 is 23, it's great that he played college ball for 4 or 5 years but that doesn't make him a better player...probably makes him a worse player actually. he's behind on the development curve because of it.
Let's fix a few
Let's fix a few things,,,
Ciaramella has been with the Red Sox since June of 2004. He played in SS A ball in 2004 and played like crap, but he was suffering from shoulder problems which apparently plagued him his junior year in Utah as well.
He must have still been suffering from the same problem or had other injuries last year as he only got 280 AB's between rookie ball and A ball last year. He did not play in the highest level of A ball last year. He played in Greenville, equivalent to plaing at Peoria. Wilmington is the Red Sox Advanced A team (equivalent to Daytona).
As I said, no blue chipper, but he's apparently intending to hit the weight room and if he fills out and gains some power he could be something. He's not that far behind the curve, he'll turn 24 in October and if he gets a promotion to AA, he's right about where he should be for a kid out of college.
I'm guessing we're not getting any players from Baltimore(replacement Dave Crouthers)or Arizona (Stephen Randolph deal?) , probably just got some cash that was never reported. I could be wrong....
Grissom should be signed to a minor league deal cause he doesn't deserve guaranteed money, but yeah the 40 man is full at the moment.
"23 is 23, it's great that
"23 is 23, it's great that he played college ball for 4 or 5 years but that doesn't make him a better player...probably makes him a worse player actually. he's behind on the development curve because of it."
I for one believe that if you have it, you have it. It doesn't matter what age you are. Wade Boggs and Randy Johnson both started much later, and both are HOFers.
"He's no blue-chipper but
"He's no blue-chipper but neither is Van Buren."
Please explain your comment, I don't get it. JVB is on the Red Sox 40 Man Roster.
Ciaramella, LITERALLY, isn't even in the same league with JVB.
I take it this guy was NOT
I take it this guy was NOT on their 40-Man roster as we have no space. So, with no space availible, all these PTBNL we are owed (BALT, BOS, AZ), we really can't expect anyone too good.
Just because someone isn't on the 40 man doesn't mean they're not a good prospect, it just means they're not ready yet this year. Look at Matt Murton, he was a good prospect who wasn't on the 40 man until the middle of last year.
Oops Rob G, looks like you
Oops Rob G, looks like you posted over me. I imagine you're done explaining.
Apparently, part of the
Apparently, part of the reason he's a little behind is injuries to his shoulder. The following quotes are from the SoSH article Rob G. linked to above:
"Immediately after his signing with the Red Sox and heading to Lowell, Matt discovered through the Red Sox trainers that he had a shoulder injury that he played most of his college season with and it ruined most of his early appearances even putting him on the DL that summer. His dad mentioned how amazing the Pro trainers were in drawing up a rehab plan to strengthen Matt's shoulder. Part of that shoulder stregthening program is explained in the Ciaramell interview on SoxProspects.com."
"Matt's 2004 partial season at Lowell was limited to only 45 games where he only hit .189 by the end. But he started healthy at Wilmington as a 22yr old and had a much better season at low-A ball this year posting a .302/.360/422 line in approx 246 pa. He did get hurt again during the season and sent to rehab so I am not sure if it was related to his shoulder or not."
I think this year will be an important one for him. He needs to stay healthy and start advancing through our system. But i think its too early to judge his development speed, given the short amount of time he's had as a professional and the aforementioned injuries.
JVB ain't no Maddux with the
JVB ain't no Maddux with the control, you know? He's barely better than Novoa in those terms. But he'll turn 26 midway through this year. I liked Van Buren as well, but his inconsistent mechanics are going to always lead to control problems and/or an injury. Would have preferred something better in return or just kept him, but this will likely be 2 inconsequential baseball souls trading uniforms. It's not that big a deal, other then further proof that Hendry needs an assistant "40 man roster" GM, along with his assistant "Middle infielder" GM and assistant "bench" GM
what the hell does being on
what the hell does being on the 40 man have to do with being a good prospect? Felix Pie didn't get on the 40 man until this year and he'd be no lower then #3 in most any teams system. Just means that he hasn't been in baseball long enough to have to be protected.
Maybe Hendry got him to be
Maybe Hendry got him to be the hitting coach because from the interview Rob posted seems like he knows more about hitting than Sargeclines. Good work on getting the info on him Rob. Overall he sounds like a switch-hitting version of Sing.
thanks, but I stole that all
thanks, but I stole that all from the forums at northsidebaseball.com; can't really take credit.
Sing's become ultra-patient
Sing's become ultra-patient in his later years and is a big boy. I mean big boy with unreal power. Ciaramella is closer to Murton it appears. Doesn't K a lot, doesn't walk a whole lot either but he's not swinging at bad pitches. Seems to have gap power at the moment. If he bulks up a bit, he may one day be useful.
"what the hell does being on
"what the hell does being on the 40 man have to do with being a good prospect?
When was that the question? And when was a 222 AB career in "A" ball enough to properly evaluate an obscure prospect, much less equate him with JVB.
One thing seems to be sure, if you have an unconventional looking delivery, the Cubs can't wait to get rid of you.
didn't you mention something
didn't you mention something about JVB being on the Red Sox 40 man and Ciamarella not being as some reason that this trade is skewed towards the Red Sox. Manny mentioned something as well about the 40 man...
225 Ab's aren't much, but he's got a college track record too and you can tell from his peripherals and scouting reports what type of player he was. What type of player he'll be? Only time will tell....
He's got some stuff going for him, we'll see if it pans out. Do you really know if JVB is going to pan out? Exactly. The Cubs scouts must like him for whatever reason, so we'll see.
The point is Van Buren could
The point is Van Buren could of nabbed a whole hell of alot more than that. The way overpriced bullpen arms are these days he has some value.
He would of been nice as a sweetener in any trade. But no we gave him away for virtually nothing.
I have a feeling a bullpen anchored by Wuertz, Ohman, and Williamson would of done just as good a job as Eyre and Howry.
Everyone glosses over the fact that Will Ohman had a pretty good season for us last year out of the pen.
Did we really need to spend 3+ million a year on Eyre when Ohman was doing just as good of a job in the same role?
Eyre - 86 games (68 IP), 2.63 ERA, BAALefties - .182, BAARighties - .213.
Ohman - 69 games (43 IP), 2.91 ERA , BAALefties - .173, BAARighties - .231.
Wuertz had an awesome first season out of the pen. He struggled against lefties but he plain dominated right handed hitters to the tune of a .197 BAA.
I hope Eyre and Howry keep doing what they have done in the past but if they faulter even the slightest bit Ohman and Wuertz should be moved up in priority in that bullpen. It won't happen, but they should be.
Hopefully Ohman and Wuertz will get some regular time out of the pen next year to keep developing and not go a few weeks between relief appearances.
my guess is that eyre/howry
my guess is that eyre/howry will be the set-up men for dempster and will be used more often then not in full one inning stints. Ohman's going to be a full-fledged LOOGY next year and I'm not sure where Williamson will be used exactly, but he should have a lot better year then last year.
Rob G.: "what the hell does
Rob G.:
"what the hell does being on the 40 man have to do with being a good prospect?"
I was thinking the same thing....
99.9% of all players were in the minors at some point and not on the 40-man.
But maybe someone was trying to just say this guy is a good prospect, in a round about way or something. But he is a big question mark right now till he can get healthy and some real AB's under his belt.
My point about the 40-man is that if he is not on there, more than likely he isn't going to be helping the big club soon.
Eyre isn't a one inning
Eyre isn't a one inning pitcher though. He comes in most times to get 1 hitter out. Howry is the guy you bring in for a full inning to get most anyone out. In my opinion Howry is worthy of his contract, Eyre is vastly overpaid to do 1 batter gigs.
If Williamson is fully recovered (which spring training should tell) then he should be Dempsters primary setup guy.
If everyone does what they are supposed to out of the pen then yeah it could be vastly improved. But the only problem is the only guys with track records of being good are Howry and Williamson. Everything else is a crap shoot. Hell Williamson is a crap shoot also because of his injury. So basically we are down to Howry being reasonably dependable.
Felipe's gone a bit whacky
Felipe's gone a bit whacky with the pitching changes late in innings, can't imagine Dusty will be that bad, but who knows. Still think Eyre was signed to be a 7th/8th inning setup guy along with Howry. Williamson is the fallback in case one of them gets injured.
But hey, it's Dusty, only he knows how he'll actually end up using them.
Curious what our bullpen will be next year....
Hill, Guzman, Koronka all still lurking
And what the hell are we doing with 4 catchers anyway? Gives Baker something to do this spring I suppose.
Rob G.- Good point about
Rob G.-
Good point about looking a the pen. I agree with your Certainties, and with most teams carring 12 pitchers that means we need to add 2 more.
A lot depends on Wood. If he does not make it for Opening Day, then things will work out fine with Novoa and Weurtz making the final two spots.
Starters (w/o Wood):
Releivers (w/o Wood):
*** The only problem with this is we would have no long relief. So maybe WElly, Hill, Guzman or Koronka would step in the 12th pitcher spot sending Weurtz or Novoa down. ***
If Wood does make Opening Day (yeah, I know) then things get a bit tight.
Starter (w/ Wood):
Relievers (w/ Wood):
Of course all this is contingent on no trades between now and opening Day and no injuries.
Too much pitching is a nice
Too much pitching is a nice problem to have, but once again it is contingent on Wood being healthy.
Wood will be fine, probably
Wood will be fine, probably won't miss more then a few starts in April. As I said yesterday, for all our moaning this off-season, if Wood, Z and Prior make 30+ starts this year, the Cubs will probably be contending in September and Hendry/Baker will look like geniuses for stressing speed and defense.
eyre was a 1-inning
eyre was a 1-inning guy.
last year he became an inning guy...alou (skitzo pen handler..use 38274239847 arms a game) used him in both inning and spot roles.
expect him to take remlinger's role and with ohman around, expect him to be a 1-inning guy.
he's not a bad pitcher at all.
Crunch- I agree he will take
I agree he will take Remmy's role of the left handed one inning guy. That was a big misconception of Remmy last year, thinking he was a LOOGY. But all but maybe 2-3 times ALL year he was used as an inning guy (he had 35 appearences and 33.0 IP). He shouldn't of been used as a LOOGY at all, clearly, but I find it even more funny that EVERY TIME a switch hitter came up the opposing manager/player never went to the left side.
#28 Rob G. Great point Rob.
#28 Rob G.
Great point Rob. With improved defense Prior and Z might both be Cy young contenders. Imagine the defense (Don't think about hitting) if we have Cedeno at SS and neifi at 2nd.
However, IF Williamson comes back 100% AND we used Wood in the pen how would a 7, 8, 9 of Williamson, Dempster, Wood look? Remember the nasty boys of the 90 reds? Dibble, Franco Myers...... How sweet would that be. Makes it a 6 inning game.
except that we signed howry,
except that we signed howry, eyre for the 7th/8th most likely. Wood should be a starter and this being his walk year, I doubt he'll be as willing to go to the bullpen this year.
I would much rather have JVB
I would much rather have JVB in the pen than Roberto "Where's the plate" Novoa, or even Wuertz.
Jermaine Van Buren might - MIGHT - be qualified to shine Michael Wuertz's shoes. Anything beyond that, no.
Hey, Jermaine! - Go get your shine box!
Ummmm, actually the last 3
Ummmm, actually the last 3 years Eyre has been a specialty pitcher who usually goes 1-2 batters max.
Before that he usually went more than 1 inning and didn't have very good results. Like I said Eyre isn't dependable on a regular basis to pitch a full inning. His success as a reliever has come in the very short outings role.
We paid out the ass for his fluke 2.63 ERA last year. He is more of a 4.00 ERA pitcher.
Fuuuuuuuuuck you! Get a job
Fuuuuuuuuuck you!
Get a job with the Cubs!
Enough! Let Hendry do his
Let Hendry do his job.
I know Dusty stinks, but take the good with the bad. He ain't Jim Frey! But he is twice Herman Franks! These are good times on the Northside. By the way, I am drunk.

2006 and HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!!
The year of the Cub
"Ummmm, actually the last 3
"Ummmm, actually the last 3 years Eyre has been a specialty pitcher who usually goes 1-2 batters max."
that dont matter.
last year matters. eyre wasnt the same pitcher 3 years ago or even 2 years ago...arguably 2 years ago when he really started to come through on his stuff as a pitcher not just a thrower...he just didnt get his chance to shine til later in 04 and for much of 05.
and if any of that dont matter...well, ohman's the "loogy" and eyre is here to work innings. its what he did last year and what he'll do in 06.
speaking of 06..happy 06 everyone.
I currently reside in
I currently reside in Portland, Oregon and the sports' radio station out here is WFAN. And WFAN (NY report) is reporting the Mets and Cubs have terms on a deal where the Cubs will send Felix Pie and Rich Hill to the Mets for Aaron Heilman and Cliff Floyd.
NCFAN- Norm Charlton was
Norm Charlton was the 3rd Nasty Boy, not Franco.
Happy New Years to all.
Cubs are still one "difference maker" from being a believable playoff contender.
Bob sacamento- If that is
Bob sacamento-
If that is true, and I don't believe it is, it really happened under the radar. And it happened at a weird time on New years Eve. Did Minaya and hendry have nothing better to do and it couldn't wait a day? Also, Floyd has a limited No trade clause (not sure to which teams). Also, giving up our two best minor league prospects sounds like a lot to me, for Floyd who is in his last year of contract (rent-a-player) and for a 27 year old middle to long relief guy.
But what do I know I am half blitzed!!
Hey I'm not saying it's true
Hey I'm not saying it's true but just posting what WFAN reported. It's no secret that Hendry has long had an affliction for the middle of the order lefty Floyd and that Heilman fits the versatile role of pitcher that Hendry has been looking for this offseason.
But yeah Pie going anywhere seems slim, especially for such an old injury prone player like Floyd despite his good power, contact, and eye. Heilman's stock like Hill's skyrocketed this last season. Personally I think Heilman has a better chance to be a top setup man or decent starter than Hill. Hill looks like he'll become a lefty specialist unless he adds another quality pitch.
"With two years left on his
"With two years left on his contract, Matt Clement wouldn't be a bad risk for the Cubs if they traded Mark Prior or Carlos Zambrano. He could win 15 games in the National League. The Red Sox are shopping Clement and David Wells"
-Phil Rogers 1/1/06
Phil Rogers is officially an idiot!
That Floyd trade would make
That Floyd trade would make sense if not for:
Heilman demanding to be a starter
The Met's already having a centerfielder for the next 5 years
The Met's already having a centerfield for the future (Milledge unless he got traded to Florida which I don't recall)
That leaving the Mets without a left fielder
That giving the Cubs 2 starters in left field
Hendry showing an aversion (this off-season) to injury prone players
Heilman was the Met's 2nd best pitcher last year. I've got no idea why they don't want to put him back in the rotation. Ok maybe he was their 3rd best pitcher.
Despite the fact that trade
Despite the fact that trade report was from a troll if Hendry wants to get Zito that is not a bad trade. If you read "Moneyball" you know Beane has a player crush on Floyd and has been looking for an impact bat for his lineup and Helieman would be the MLB SP he has been looking for. NYM can use Hill and Pie in that 4-way Manny-Miggy deal to send to BAL.
Bob, I thought all radio
I thought all radio and TV stations West of the Mississippi started with 'K'. I'm not opposed to giving up prospects, but I think the trade you mention is too much for too little.
Well a 4-way trade involving
Well a 4-way trade involving Tejada is gaining traction. ESPN just reported on it.
Teams involved - Mets, Boston, Orioles, Tampa Bay.
Boston - Tejada, Gathright
Mets - Manny Ramirez
Orioles - Julio Lugo, Matt Clement and Kris Benson
Tampa - Aaron Heilman, Jae Seo, Kaz Matsui
I am not sure about the players Tampa might get, I just saw it briefly.
That is a nice deal if Boston can get Tejada and Gathright.
Nope, there are radio
Nope, there are radio stations and TV stations west of the Mississippi with call letters that begin with W. For example, the ABC affiliate in Fargo, North Dakota is WDAY. And they also have a radio station with the same call letters.
Rob G. #28--well said.

Mike c, That's interesting
Mike c,
That's interesting because today's NY post said that deal wont happen. In terms of radio stations and call letters in the 20's the government districted out areas stations could broadcast and implented the system of W for East stations and K for the west though stations were grandfathered in. There are a couple of K stations in PA and as arm said a w station in ND and there is also one in Vegas I think.
The Mets must have more
The Mets must have more starters than I thought if they're willing to trade 3 of them for Manny.
Actually I think it was Andy
Actually I think it was Andy Marte instead of Jae Seo.
Boston doesn't really have a need for Marte since they have Lowell at 3rd base.
According to the NY daily
According to the NY daily news story yesterday Marte and Seo were both in the deal.
Fox Sports: That's where
Fox Sports:
That's where the Devil Rays come in. They would send Joey Gathright to Boston to help fill the Red Sox's center field hole. Obviously, Tejada would fill the void at shortstop.
Ramirez and Baez, on the other hand, would head for New York, giving the Mets one of the game's best power hitters and set-up men.
As for the Orioles, they would satisfy their shortstop and pitching needs by acquiring Julio Lugo from Tampa Bay, and veteran right-hander Kris Benson from the Mets.
The Devil Rays are thought to be seeking young prospects ó especially pitchers. And they could be satisfied on that front if they can acquire Red Sox third baseman Andy Marte, and pitchers Jae Seo and Aaron Heilman from the Mets.
In addition, The Daily News says that the Mets would send Kaz Matsui to the D-Rays to temporarily fill the void at shortstop until hot prospect B.J. Upton is ready for the big time
Met's Trade:
Met's Get:
Fantasy Baseball League Title
Rays trade:
Rays get:
Indictment on charge of grand larceny
Red Sox trade:
Red Sox get:
Hoarse from laughing their way to the 2006 WS
Orioles trade:
Orioles get
A trip to the proctologist
No way in hell that trade happens- Orioles deal Tejada to division rival for Lugo and Benson? They could just sign Weaver. The average Cubs fan's blog fantasy of trading Jason Dubois and Mitre to the Reds for Dunn is more realistic than this crap.
Real Neal, You forgot about
Real Neal,
You forgot about Clement who is suppose to go to BAL in that deal according to the NY daily news. If the O's cant get the $$$, NTC's and players going/coming worked out with the Sox they will have to risk an unhappy camper in Tejada or putting Bedard in a trade with us. I think they will take Opt. 1 and deal Tejada at the deadline for prospects.
Radio trivialities--WBAP is
Radio trivialities--WBAP is in Dallas. WHO is in Des Moines. WHB in Kansas City. WCCO in Minneapolis. WMT in Cedar Rapids. There are more. Once you get out to the Rockies and Plains, then the W-stations are gone.
East of the river, not many I can think of with K. KDKA in Pittsburgh is about the only one off the top of my head.
Eric -- to add a triviality
Eric -- to add a triviality onto a triviality (which I find very interesting), years ago the FCC laid down the rule that the Mississippi river would be the K/W line: i.e. west of the Mississippi, all radio and TV station call letters start with "K", east of the Miss. they start with "W." However, existing stations were grandfathered in (and you named some of them).
And let's not forget WOW radio and WOW-T in the great state of Nebraska.
Many of my brain cells are wasted carrying this kind of trivia.
I don't think this was the
I don't think this was the worst thing that could happen. Overall they don't have that many decent minor league OFs in house that can hit off the bench in the majors or be used as trade bait.

Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Fort Smith police make arrest in decade long rape case
Published 8:15 PM CST Jan 18, 2013
Fort Smith police arrested Leroy Eugene King in a decade long rape case.
A press release said a woman was beaten and raped in 2002 when a man offered her a ride home.
Detectives got a break in the case ten years later when DNA evidence linked King to the case.
The evidence was collected last year when King was investigated and arrested on kidnapping and domestic violence charges in LeFlore County.
King is being held on a $50,000 dollar bond in the Sebastian County Detention Center.

Landline rates may increase in Upshur County
January 11, 2013
The cost of having a landline telephone may go up for Upshur County residents soon, as the county commission is searching for revenue to fund the 911 Center operations....
The greatest majority of people who have landlines these days are the elderly who are on fixed incomes. I have a landline with Frontier and pay $15.65 per month. The cost for the phone service is $7. The other $8.65 are taxes and fees. I'm getting rid of my landline for a tracfone which costs as little as $10 a month and no landline-type fees. Good job there sticking it to the elderly once again.

if you up the fee more people will drop there land lines and no more revenue will actually be relized. Furthermore it will be the poorer residents of the county who dont have cell phones that will be taxed more once again taking more away from the less fortunate of the area

Dear Readers,
As we begin Lent – a season that reminds us of the importance of repentance beginning our six week journey of preparation for the Resurrection of our Lord, after a lengthy examination of conscience I have a confession to make: I have to admit that over the past several weeks I have been a very bad blogger! Since the beginning of the year, I have been remiss in not adding one single new post to "On Earth as It is in Heaven," and for this I am profoundly sorry! Now, some of this has had to do with time spent working on other responsibilities, which included time spent down in Washington D.C. during their recent "snowpocalypse" (more on that to come later…); but no matter, I take full responsibility for my recent bad blogging habits, and – in an attitude of appropriate repentance for Ash Wednesday – I am here to promise that this situation is going to change, and that this change begins today!
Today is the 44th Anniversary of Pope Paul VI issuance of the Constitution on Fasting and Abstinence (Poenitemini) which raised up the importance of voluntary, self-chosen penances such as works of charity for the poor to compliment traditional fasting. In contemplating this anniversary, I thought it entirely appropriate to take on as one of my Lenten observances this year – in addition to of course observing the traditional requirements of fast and abstinence – becoming a much more diligent blogger! In this regard in the coming weeks, I promise to post comments on a much more regular basis, sharing the teachings of our Church on the dignity of the human person, and all the good works – both here and abroad – that the Church undertakes on behalf of the poor and vulnerable in our midst. In making this commitment, I am following the good advice that Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI gave in his message for the 44th Annual World Communications Day (released on January 23rd) which encouraged all Catholics – but especially priests in this "Year of the Priest" – to use all the new media technologies at our disposal to reach new audiences with the message of God's abundant love.
So please forgive the hiatus dear readers – and a Blessed Ash Wednesday to you all – will be back real soon…..

The koa wood Dale Zarrella used to carve his image of St. Damien was one of the toughest he's worked with.
The Kihei sculptor, who has shaped many types of wood into artwork over the years, said that this piece was "stubborn and strong as Damien" but in a good sense.
"He was always kind to people," Zarrella said of St. Damien, who was canonized for his tireless work with leprosy patients on Molokai. "(But) when in the bureaucracy of the government and the church he was strong and stubborn and outspoken. I like that about him. He fought for what was right."
Article Photos
The blessing drew about 160 people to Zarrella's studio on the north end of Charley Young Beach in Kihei.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
The Rev. Monsignor Terrence Watanabe (from left) blesses a koa carving of St. Damien as Leslie Kuloloio and artist Dale Zarrella look on during a blessing ceremony Sunday evening in Kihei. Kuloloio also offered a Hawaiian blessing, as he did before Zarrella started on the piece when it was still a log.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Dale Zarrella's koa carving of St. Damien is life-sized. The saint who worked with leprosy patients in Kalaupapa until his death was about 5 feet 9 inches tall. The artwork is 7 feet tall from its base.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Zarrella recently completed his koa statue of St. Damien, which was blessed Sunday evening before at least 160 people at Zarrella's studio on the north end of Charley Young Beach in Kihei.
Zarrella said a patient in Kalaupapa sent over rosary beads that were placed on the statue's hand and a Bible for the blessing. A family member of a patient brought sea salt from Kalaupapa to be used in the blessing.
The statue of St. Damien, who was about 5 feet 9 inches tall, is life-sized but the artwork is 7 feet tall from its base.
The commissioned statue will be taken to Oahu to be displayed at the Damien and Marianne of Molokai Heritage Center in Waikiki. A showing is planned at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Kihei, but the date and time have not been set yet.
The 51-year-old artist will soon begin his work on a monkeypod wood sculpture of St. Marianne, which also will be displayed at the museum. Mother Marianne Cope became a saint in October and spent many years on Molokai after St. Damien's death assisting leprosy patients as well as improving health care in Hawaii.
Zarrella chose monkeypod wood for Marianne because he said it's a softer wood that also matches St. Marianne's physical qualities. She was petite, while Damien was stocky.
While having his statue displayed in an Oahu museum is an honor in itself, Zarrella had his study sculptures for his life-sized koa St. Damien taken to Rome last spring at the request of church officials on Oahu.
A 3-foot-tall bronze statue of a young Damien currently is in the Vatican collection and a second is at the Pontifical North American College, a seminary school that is part of Vatican City, Zarrella said.
Before the blessing and even before he saw the newest koa St. Damien statue, the Rev. Monsignor Terrence Watanabe of St. Theresa Catholic Church said that he felt "wonderful" about the work.
"I think it's great we have wonderful artists on Maui that have been inspired by Father Damien and Saint Marianne."
Watanabe performed Sunday's blessing with others, including Kahu Les Kuloloio.
Zarrella began his work on the St. Damien statue in October 2011, after venturing into the forests in Kipahulu under the guidance of kupuna who helped him choose the koa.
He said he was told that the strongest canoes had come out of the forest they went into and that koa means "strength of the warrior" or "warrior spirit," which was "so appropriate for Damien."
Zarrella said that the strong koa was not a big obstacle for him, but the wood just took longer to carve.
He added that when he was working on St. Damien's face he noticed a tear mark just below the saint's right eye.
That made Zarrella wonder: "What did he do with the sorrow" of seeing all of the suffering patients in Kalaupapa?
Zarrella said that in letters St. Damien mentioned that he never wanted to show his sorrow on his face because people there had enough sorrow to deal with.
St. Damien began his work in Kalaupapa in 1873. The Belgian priest worked with the patients there until he died in 1889 of the disease. Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is a chronic bacterial infection of the skin and superficial nerves. Today, it can be treated by antibiotics.
For his work in Kalaupapa, Damien de Veuster was canonized in 2009.
Zarrella said that his sculpture depicts St. Damien on his second day at Kalawao on the Kalaupapa peninsula just after he surveyed the pain and suffering of the patients.
St. Damien is standing on the cliffs and next to him is a child under a blanket. Zarrella said that the child has no face but depicts all those children whom St. Damien would take under his wing.
"What the piece represents to me is the ultimate father figure. He was such an example of ultimate compassion and love and self-sacrifice. He did not only sacrifice his life for people, he did it with joy."
Zarrella made two trips to Kalaupapa to study the area where St. Damien lived and worked and read up on the saint.
Zarrella, who is Catholic, created his first religious artwork when he was 18. It was an 8 foot crucifix that was placed above his church's altar in his home state of Connecticut.
"It's always an incredible journey being a creative person," Zarrella said of his works.
The St. Damien sculpture changed his life.
"I look at the world with more compassion," he said. "I look at the work as a service; it's not a hardship. I definitely feel I'm a different person from what I started with. I learned an awful lot."

You missed the point.
Nick's gotten old, and he's not getting any younger. As one gets older, one becomes more prone and/or susceptible to injury. There's wear and tear, a certain degree of deterioration. Even something as simple as a deep bone bruise can prove more problematic when you're "old." Blah blah blah.
But that doesn't make any sense. Being in one's 40s--especially when you're in world-class shape like Nick is--does not increase susceptibility to a bone bruise, nor will being of that age--again, especially when you're in such great shape is Nick is--affect the degree to which it heals.

Singing Out for Kid's Mental Health
By Bob Carolla, NAMI Director of Media Relations
One of the highlights of Mental Health Month is Children's Mental Health Week, May 6-11, 2013Śand Tuesday traditionally is considered "Children's Mental Health Awareness Day."
In the nation's capital, the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), NAMI and other mental health organization seized the day to speak out on the need for a full array of effective services and supports for youth with mental illnesses.
SAMHSA sponsored a press conference with U.S Department of Health and Services (HHS) Secretary Kathryn Sebilius and 21-year old singer, songwriter and actress Demi Lovato, who lives with bipolar disorder.
"I think it bears repeating that we have no higher obligation as a society, as our president reminds us, than keeping our children safe and protecting their health. It's our most fundamental task," said Sebelius. We can do better. We need to do better and we must do better. Early detection and treatment can make a huge difference."
When you have a mental health issue or you're suffering through substance abuse, you're going to have days when you struggle," said Lovato, who was named honorary chair of the day. "But healing is the first step to resilience."
"I grew up in the public eye from a very young age. But like many, I felt the pressure to be perfect; to look perfect. That pressure wears on kids, especially young women. Now imagine those feelings while struggling with a mental health issue or substance abuse."
Online, SAMHSA presented several short videos, including an additional message from Lovato as part of the day's events.
On Capitol Hill, NAMI moderated a congressional briefing that focused ion SAMHSA programs for youth and young adults. U.S., Reps. Grace Napolitano (D-Ca.) and Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) who co-chair the House Mental Health Caucus also spoke.
Facts presented in the briefing include:
In the national dialogue on mental that has occurred since the Newtown tragedy in December 2012, NAMI concerns for youth have included mental health screening school-based mental health services and family education and support. One of NAMI's signature education programs is NAMI Basics, for parents and other caregivers of children and adolescents who have developed symptoms of mental illness before age 13.

A Summerville man has been charged with felony driving under the influence resulting in death following a July 11 wreck.
John Dodge Haynes, Jr., 52 years old at the time of the incident, was arrested by Summerville Police. The charge was entered into the court system Monday.
Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet said Jane Tee, 66, of Charleston, died July 14 from injuries she suffered in the wreck.
According to an incident report, Haynes crashed into a Honda CRV with four people in it at the intersection of Ladson Road and Midland Parkway at about 10 p.m. Tee was a passenger in the CRVs back seat. A witness told police that the Honda CRV was headed westbound on Ladson Road and was stopped at a green light; she said Haynes was driving westbound behind the stopped CRV and crashed into it.
When the officer arrived on scene, Hayness car was at the corner of the two roads and the CRV was about 200 feet away in the side yard of a home, according to the incident report.
Tee was unconscious when the officer reached her; the officer cut her seat belt to allow EMS access to help her.
The officer also conducted a field sobriety test on Haynes, according to the incident report.
The officer said there was a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Haynes and that Hayness eyes were glassy and his speech slurred.
The officer asked Haynes to recite the alphabet from C to Q, but Haynes skipped several letters and ended with T instead of Q, according to the report.
Haynes was arrested that evening for felony DUI.
He was taken to jail but bonded out July 12 on a $52,274.50 surety bond.

The parents of the Charles Carroll High School student ridiculed and ordered by her teacher to remove a t-shirt supporting Mitt Romney sued the teacher and school district on Friday, claiming the act violated the girl's civil rights.
Filed in federal court in Philadelphia, the suit says the district ignored Samantha Pawlucy's right to free speech, let other students threaten and harass her and subjected her "to emotional distress, simply because she exercised her First Amendment rights."
Fernando Gallard, a spokesman for the district, said it would not comment on the lawsuit.

A strain of marijuana that does NOT have crack in it. This strain was developed by Dinafem Seed Company and is a cross between Blueberry and White Widow. It is now grown legally in Oregon.
That Blue Widow is smooth and is more of a body high than a head high.
